Short answer: both are discontinued, so this only matters if you are buying used. Used, the Teufel Rockster XS is the better pick: it ranks #35 of 182 medium speakers by sound quality (rated 3.9/5), against #51 (rated 3.6/5) for the Bose Soundlink Revolve+. If you want one new, the Bose Soundlink Revolve+ II replaces the Bose Soundlink Revolve+ and is rated 3.6/5 at $299.
The Teufel Rockster XS is the lighter, tougher option. A compact waterproof stereo speaker with good sound for its size, aptX, an aux input and a phone charging port. At 1.6 lbs (720 g) it weighs noticeably less than the Bose Soundlink Revolve+ at 2 lbs (910 g). It is rated IPX7 against IP55 for the Bose Soundlink Revolve+. It supports aptX Bluetooth, which the Bose Soundlink Revolve+ lacks. The tradeoff: Bass does not reach as deep as others, and it was only sold in Europe.
The case for the Bose Soundlink Revolve+: A 360 degree speaker that sounds the same from any spot around it, with a built in carry handle for easy transport. The tradeoff: Overly boosted bass, warm sounding.
Buy the Teufel Rockster XS 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 Bose Soundlink Revolve+ II, which replaces the Bose Soundlink Revolve+.
