Short answer: the Teufel Rockster Go. It ranks #103 of 136 medium speakers by sound quality; the Soundcore Flare 2 ranks #105.
What the Teufel Rockster Go gets right: Clear mid-range with bright treble, wide soundstage via Dynamore processing, IP67 waterproof and durable, solid battery life, compact design with carrying strap. Watch for: Rolled off treble, muffled sound, mids sound strange. Bass not very deep.
The case for the Soundcore Flare 2: Try Alan Ross’s EQ for it. The tradeoff: Rolled off treble. Thuddy bass. Not technically a 360 speaker, only front and rear.
Buy the Teufel Rockster Go if sound quality matters more than the price. Buy the Soundcore Flare 2 if the price matters more than sound quality.
If sound quality matters at all to you, skip both of these and look higher up the 136 medium speakers instead.
