Short answer: the Soundcore Boom 2. It ranks #10 of 120 large speakers by sound quality, rated 4.5/5, at $99.99; the Mee Audio PartySPKR ranks #32, rated 4.1/5, and costs $169.99, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
The Soundcore Boom 2 is the better-sounding, longer-running pick. A light, waterproof large speaker with deep bass for its size, a 24 hour battery and fun lighting. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 12 for the Mee Audio PartySPKR. At 3.7 lbs (1.68 kg) it weighs much less than the Mee Audio PartySPKR at 6.3 lbs (2.85 kg). The tradeoff: Only a single midrange driver, so you only get stereo for the tweeters.
Why pick the Mee Audio PartySPKR: A stereo party speaker with good sound, real bass, lights, sound modes and weather resistance. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Soundcore Boom 2 lacks. The tradeoff: Not very deep bass.
Buy the Soundcore Boom 2. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Mee Audio PartySPKR and costs less, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.
