Short answer: the Soundcore Rave 3S. It ranks #19 of 51 party speakers by sound quality, rated 3.8/5, at $299.99. The Rockville Rock Party 6 ranks #51, rated 2.0/5, at $73.43, $226.56 cheaper, which does not close the gap in sound quality.
The Soundcore Rave 3S is the better-sounding, longer-running choice. A big party speaker with two wireless microphones, a remote, and a vocal removal feature for karaoke nights. It is rated for 12 hours of battery against 6 for the Rockville Rock Party 6. It is rated IPX4, while the Rockville Rock Party 6 has no water resistance. It links with other speakers (Auracast), which the Rockville Rock Party 6 cannot. The tradeoff: Some upper bass and upper mids boost.
The Rockville Rock Party 6 is the lighter choice. A budget battery party speaker with a woofer, tweeters, Bluetooth, and an aux input. At 11.9 lbs (5.4 kg) it weighs much less than the Soundcore Rave 3S at 21.6 lbs (9.8 kg). It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the Soundcore Rave 3S.
Buy the Soundcore Rave 3S. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $226.56 you would save on the Rockville Rock Party 6 does not close the gap.
