Short answer: the Teufel Rockster Cross. It ranks #23 of 115 large speakers by sound quality, rated 4.2/5, at $199.99; the DALI Katch G2 ranks #85, rated 2.8/5, and costs $750, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
The Teufel Rockster Cross is the better-sounding choice. A splash resistant speaker with fairly neutral, vocal focused sound and punchy, controlled bass that suits rock and jazz. The catch: Outdoor mode can sound somewhat harsh due to the 4kHz peak.
The DALI Katch G2 is the longer-running, lighter choice. A slim, elegant waterproof stereo speaker with a built in strap, a very long battery, and high quality Bluetooth. It is rated for 30 hours of battery against 16 for the Teufel Rockster Cross. At 2.4 lbs (1.1 kg) it weighs much less than the Teufel Rockster Cross at 5.3 lbs (2.4 kg). It is rated IPX7 against IPX5 for the Teufel Rockster Cross. Watch for: Loses bass quickly after 40% volume.
Buy the Teufel Rockster Cross. It is rated higher for sound quality than the DALI Katch G2 and costs less, which makes it the one to get unless you need something the other one does better.
