Short answer: the EarFun Uboom L. It ranks #2 of 177 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 4.6/5, at $49.79. The Soundcore 2 ranks #105, rated 3.0/5, at $29.98, $19.81 cheaper, not enough of a saving to outweigh the sound-quality gap.
The Soundcore 2 is the longer-running, lighter pick. A cheap, light waterproof stereo speaker with a long rated battery, an aux input and pairing with a second unit. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 16 for the EarFun Uboom L. At 0.7 lbs (318 g) it weighs much less than the EarFun Uboom L at 1.4 lbs (650 g). The tradeoff: Bass is specified only down to 70Hz, so the low end is limited.
The EarFun Uboom L is the better-sounding pick. A great value medium speaker with clear, natural sound, waterproofing, and a Video Mode that keeps audio in sync with video. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Soundcore 2 lacks. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Soundcore 2 lacks. It charges over USB-C rather than Micro USB. Watch for: It cannot produce real low-bass rumble or fill a large, noisy space, and the top end loses some detail.
Buy the EarFun Uboom L. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $19.81 saving on the Soundcore 2 is not enough to make up the difference.
