Short answer: the Soundcore Rave Neo 2. It ranks #21 of 120 large speakers by sound quality, rated 4.2/5, at $84.99. The DOSS Extreme Boom ranks #115, rated 2.1/5, at $75.99, $9 cheaper, not enough of a saving to outweigh the sound-quality gap.
The Soundcore Rave Neo 2 is the better-sounding, deeper-bass pick. An affordable waterproof party speaker with loud output, solid bass, a long battery, lights and linking with many speakers. Its bass reaches about 44Hz before falling 10dB, against 65Hz for the DOSS Extreme Boom. It links with other speakers (PartyCast 2.0 up to 100 speakers), which the DOSS Extreme Boom cannot. It has an adjustable EQ, which the DOSS Extreme Boom lacks. The tradeoff: Slight treble rolloff.
The DOSS Extreme Boom is the longer-running, lighter pick. An affordable waterproof outdoor speaker with a long rated battery, power bank output, and bass heavy sound for casual parties. It is rated for 30 hours of battery against 18 for the Soundcore Rave Neo 2. At 5.6 lbs (2.52 kg) it weighs noticeably less than the Soundcore Rave Neo 2 at 7.9 lbs (3.6 kg). Watch for: The measured 65Hz -10dB bass point means it lacks true low bass despite its boomy voicing.
Buy the Soundcore Rave Neo 2. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $9 with the DOSS Extreme Boom does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
