Short answer: the Soundcore Motion 300. It ranks #3 of 182 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 4.5/5, at $79.99; the Huawei Sound Joy 2 ranks #63, rated 3.5/5, and costs $154.73, so there is little reason to consider the other one.
The Soundcore Motion 300 is the better-sounding choice. A compact stereo speaker with deep bass for its size, hi res Bluetooth and a custom EQ for each position, standing or lying down. It supports LDAC Bluetooth, which the Huawei Sound Joy 2 lacks. It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the Huawei Sound Joy 2. The catch: Without the above EQ or turning the top 2 treble EQ bars to max, this speaker is very rolled off in the treble and will rank around #50 in the rankings.
The Huawei Sound Joy 2 is the longer-running choice. A waterproof speaker with long battery life, fast USB-C charging, NFC pairing and a light ring. It is rated for 26 hours of battery against 13 for the Soundcore Motion 300. The catch: In side by side sound tests against the Harman Kardon Luna, Tribit Xsound Plus 2 and Xiaomi Sound Outdoor, most listeners preferred the other speakers, finding the Sound Joy 2 treble heavy and strained, with audible distortion as the volume rises.
Buy the Soundcore Motion 300. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Huawei Sound Joy 2 and costs less, which makes it the one to get unless you need something the other one does better.
