Short answer: the Klipsch Gig XXL on value, the Soundcore Rave 3S for karaoke. The Klipsch costs $79.99 against the Rave 3S at $349.99, and our notes call it really amazing value for the money, though it is not quite as clean sounding as the top-ranked speakers. The Rave 3S counters with two wireless microphones and a remote, but brings some upper-bass and upper-mid boost.
Buy the Soundcore Rave 3S if sound quality is the priority over the price, or the Klipsch Gig XXL if the price is the priority over sound quality.
There is a real gap in water resistance: the Soundcore Rave 3S at IPX4 (splashing) against the Klipsch Gig XXL, which has no water resistance.
