Short answer: the Bogasing G4. It ranks #27 of 177 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 4.0/5, at $42.49. The Soundcore 2 ranks #105, rated 3.0/5, at $29.98, $12.51 cheaper, a saving that is not big enough to make up the sound-quality gap.
The Soundcore 2 is the lighter pick. A cheap, light waterproof stereo speaker with a long rated battery, an aux input and pairing with a second unit. At 0.7 lbs (318 g) it weighs much less than the Bogasing G4 at 1.8 lbs (830 g). The catch: Bass is specified only down to 70Hz, so the low end is limited.
The Bogasing G4 is the better-sounding pick. A light, affordable waterproof speaker with surprisingly strong bass for its size, solid loudness, long battery life and stereo pairing. It charges over USB-C rather than Micro USB. Watch for: The upper treble is boosted and uneven, while the mids sit slightly behind the bass and highs, so it is not a neutral choice for vocal-focused music.
Buy the Bogasing G4. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $12.51 saving on the Soundcore 2 is not enough to make up the difference.
