Short answer: both are discontinued, so this only matters if you are buying used. Used, the Teufel Rockster Air is the better pick: it ranks #11 of 17 battery-powered PA speakers by sound quality (rated 3.4/5), against #13 (rated 3.2/5) for the Soundboks 2. If you want one new, the Teufel Rockster Air 2 replaces the Teufel Rockster Air and is rated 4.1/5 at $499.99.
What the Teufel Rockster Air does well: A loud battery party speaker with a user replaceable long life battery, mic and guitar inputs, and wireless stereo pairing. It supports aptX Bluetooth, which the Soundboks 2 lacks. Watch for: Peaky midrange, not very natural sounding.
The Soundboks 2 is the longer-running pick. A loud outdoor party speaker with two 10 inch woofers, a removable 40 hour battery, and mic and guitar inputs. It is rated for 40 hours of battery against 30 for the Teufel Rockster Air. The catch: At 33.1 lbs (15 kg) it is large to transport, lacks weather protection, app EQ and TWS stereo pairing, and relies on an external charging arrangement.
Buy the Teufel Rockster Air only if you find one used in good condition; both are discontinued, and it is the better rated of the two. For a new speaker, buy the Teufel Rockster Air 2, which replaces the Teufel Rockster Air.
