Short answer: the Rockster 2 if you want Teufel’s most powerful, most PA-capable speaker and don’t mind the size or price; the Rockster Neo if you want most of the same idea in a much lighter, cheaper package. These rank #11 and #3 out of 50 party-size speakers, at $807.72 and $1269.94, with the Rockster 2 costing $462.22 more.
The Rockster 2 is the bigger speaker in every sense. Its 440W rating is more than double the Rockster Neo’s 200W, its single 15” horn-loaded driver dwarfs the Neo’s 300mm coaxial setup, and at 43.79 kg (96.5 lbs) it’s nearly 2.5x the Neo’s weight. It also adds a built-in 2-channel DJ mixer and a DMX port for lighting control that the Rockster Neo doesn’t have, making it more of a small PA rig than a party speaker.
The Rockster Neo wins on battery life and portability. 36 hours (56 in Eco Mode) against the Rockster 2’s 15, and it’s a fraction of the weight - genuinely something you can move around, unlike the wheeled, mains-optional Rockster 2. It still carries two XLR combo inputs, a guitar jack, and a built-in top-mounted microphone, just without the mixer or lighting control.
Buy the Rockster 2 if you need genuine PA-level output and built-in mixing for running an actual event. Buy the Rockster Neo if you want real XLR-level connectivity and long battery life without the size, weight, or price of Teufel’s flagship.
If battery life is a priority, the Teufel Rockster Neo is rated for 36 hours versus 15 hours for the Teufel Rockster 2.

The Two Speakers In Full
Teufel Rockster Neo: $807.72
Pros: Similar tuning to the other Teufel speakers - pretty good, but not top of class.
Cons: Not quite as good sounding as the JBL Partybox 330 or Electro-Voice Everse 12. Bass isn’t as deep as the JBL Partybox 330 or even the JBL Partybox 130.

Teufel Rockster 2: $1,269.94
Pros: Sounds better and more evenly tuned than the JBL Partybox 720. Horn-loaded tweeter gives far more consistent off-axis sound, unlike the Partybox 720’s dual tweeters, which suffer from comb-filtering interference. Gets louder without distorting - the Partybox 720 starts breaking up at high volume well before this does. Projects clearly over long outdoor distances, covering a large area evenly.
Cons: Not quite as deep bass as the JBL Partybox 720. Bass output drops off further at high volume.
