Short answer: the Minirig 4 with subwoofer on measured sound quality, the Soundcore Boom 2 on price. The Minirig 4 with subwoofer ranks #5 of 115 large speakers, rated 4.6/5, at $290. The Soundcore Boom 2 ranks #10, rated 4.5/5, at $99.99, $190.01 cheaper.
The Soundcore Boom 2 is the tougher option. A light, waterproof large speaker with deep bass for its size, a 24 hour battery and fun lighting. It is rated IPX7 against Splash resistant for the Minirig 4 with subwoofer. It links with other speakers (PartyCast 2.0 up to 100 speakers), which the Minirig 4 with subwoofer cannot. Watch for: Only a single midrange driver, so you only get stereo for the tweeters.
The case for the Minirig 4 with subwoofer: A compact speaker and wireless subwoofer pair with some of the most balanced sound available, a long battery and deep, impactful bass. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Soundcore Boom 2 lacks. The tradeoff: Not stereo, app is buggy.
Buy the Soundcore Boom 2 if the price is the priority over sound quality, or the Minirig 4 with subwoofer if sound quality is the priority over the price.
