Short answer: the Teufel Rockster Air 2 for sound, the Soundcore Rave 3S for karaoke. The Rave 3S ships with two AA-battery wireless microphones, a remote control and an AI voice-removal feature, but it boosts upper bass and upper mids and does not go as deep as a Partybox 110 or 120. The Rockster Air 2 is the better tuned off-axis thanks to its single horn-loaded compression driver, though its bass is not as deep as a Partybox 130’s.
Buy the Teufel Rockster Air 2 ($499.99) for a battery-powered PA speaker; the Soundcore Rave 3S ($349.99) suits a party speaker instead.
There is a real battery-life gap here: the Teufel Rockster Air 2 is rated for 58 hours, the Soundcore Rave 3S only 12 hours.
Water resistance is not close: the Soundcore Rave 3S is rated at IPX4 (splashing), well ahead of the Teufel Rockster Air 2 at no water resistance.
