These are not really the same size class, and that is the honest framing here. The Soundcore Rave Neo 2 ranks #21 of 120 large speakers by sound quality at $84.99; the Soundcore Boom 2 Plus ranks #39 of 113 boombox speakers by sound quality at $169.99.
The case for the Soundcore Rave Neo 2: An affordable waterproof party speaker with loud output, solid bass, a long battery, lights and linking with many speakers. Watch for: Bass is limited by its 44Hz specification.
The Soundcore Boom 2 Plus is the louder, deeper-bass option. A fairly light stereo boombox, easy to carry to the beach or park. Its bass reaches about 39Hz before falling 10dB, against 44Hz for the Soundcore Rave Neo 2. Alan Ross Reviews measured it at 111dB at full volume, against 107dB for the Soundcore Rave Neo 2. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Soundcore Rave Neo 2 lacks. The catch: Warm tuning meaning a rolled off treble and some upper bass boost.
Buy the Soundcore Rave Neo 2 at $84.99 for a large speaker, or the Soundcore Boom 2 Plus at $169.99 for a boombox speaker instead.
