Short answer: the Soundcore Rave 3S. It ranks #19 of 51 party speakers by sound quality, rated 3.8/5, at $299.99; the Soundboks Mix ranks #34, rated 3.2/5, and costs $799, so there is little reason to consider the other one.
The Soundboks Mix is the longer-running pick. A rugged, weatherproof party speaker with a swappable battery that runs all day at mid volume and fast USB-C charging. It is rated for 40 hours of battery against 12 for the Soundcore Rave 3S. The catch: Doesn’t have as deep of bass as higher-ranked speakers, and can sound somewhat bright in the treble.
The Soundcore Rave 3S is the better-sounding pick. A big party speaker with two wireless microphones, a remote, and a vocal removal feature for karaoke nights. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Soundboks Mix lacks. Watch for: Some upper bass and upper mids boost.
Buy the Soundcore Rave 3S. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Soundboks Mix and costs less, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.
