Short answer: the Teufel Boomster 2021. It ranks #33 of 73 boombox speakers by sound quality; the JBL Boombox ranks #46.
What the Teufel Boomster 2021 offers: Pretty balanced sound, slightly warm. Watch for: Not as deep of bass as above ranked speakers. Boosted mid bass compensating for the lack of bass extension.
On the JBL Boombox side: Connect+ up to 100 speakers. Set against that: Treble isn’t very smooth.
