These are not really the same size class, and that is the honest framing here. The Soundcore Rave 3S ranks #19 of 49 party speakers by sound quality at $349.99; the dB Technologies B-Hype M ranks #16 of 16 battery-powered PA speakers by sound quality at $450.
The Soundcore Rave 3S is the longer-running, tougher option. 2 AA battery Wireless Microphones and remote control included. It is rated for 12 hours of battery against 4 for the dB Technologies B-Hype M. It is rated IPX4, while the dB Technologies B-Hype M has no water resistance. It links with other speakers (Auracast), which the dB Technologies B-Hype M cannot. Watch for: Some upper bass and upper mids boost.
The case for the dB Technologies B-Hype M: Professional 95W 10-inch powered 2-way portable PA, lightweight 27 lbs (12.2 kg). It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the Soundcore Rave 3S. The catch: No deep bass.
One note: the dB Technologies B-Hype M is discontinued and no longer widely available new.
Buy the Soundcore Rave 3S ($349.99) for a party speaker; the dB Technologies B-Hype M ($450) suits a battery-powered PA speaker instead.
