Short answer: the Teufel Rockster Cross 2. It ranks #22 of 120 large speakers by sound quality (rated 4.2/5); the Turtlebox Cub ranks #85 (rated 3.0/5).
The Rockster Cross 2 sounds nearly identical to the original Cross, fairly neutral with punchy bass, and measured about 101dB with EQ. The Cub has only listening impressions so far: loud for its size, warm and bass-forward, with some bass loss at high volume.
Toughness favors the Cub: IP67 and crush resistant against the Cross 2’s IPX5.
Features favor the Teufel: a 3.5mm aux input, a USB-C sound card, multipoint and a claimed 38 hours against 14+. Both have a power bank and stereo pairing.
They weigh the same, 5.3 lbs (2.4 kg). The Cross 2 is not sold in the US.
