Short answer: the Soundcore Motion X500. Both are rated 4.1/5 for sound quality (#27 and #32 of 120 large speakers), and the Soundcore Motion X500 costs $99.99 against $169.99 for the Mee Audio PartySPKR, and with sound quality even, the cheaper one is the better buy.
The Soundcore Motion X500 is the lighter option. A compact, waterproof stereo speaker with good sound and solid build for the money. At 4.6 lbs (2.1 kg) it weighs noticeably less than the Mee Audio PartySPKR at 6.3 lbs (2.85 kg). It supports LDAC Bluetooth, which the Mee Audio PartySPKR lacks. Watch for: A little bright on top, a custom EQ can flatten things out a bit.
Why pick the Mee Audio PartySPKR: A stereo party speaker with good sound, real bass, lights, sound modes and weather resistance. It links with other speakers (Multi-Link), which the Soundcore Motion X500 cannot. Watch for: Not very deep bass.
Buy the Soundcore Motion X500. Both are rated the same for sound quality, and it costs $70 less than the Mee Audio PartySPKR.
