Short answer: the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2. It ranks #31 of 112 boombox speakers by sound quality (rated 3.8/5) at $279.99 and is still sold new; the Bumpboxx Flare 6 ranks #82 (rated 2.6/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used.
The Tribit Stormbox Blast 2 is the better-sounding, longer-running choice. A big, waterproof party speaker with deep bass, very high volume, a 30 hour battery and two mic inputs. It is rated for 30 hours of battery against 12 for the Bumpboxx Flare 6. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Bumpboxx Flare 6 lacks. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Bumpboxx Flare 6 lacks. Watch for: Sounds quite muddy with the boosted lower and upper bass.
The Bumpboxx Flare 6 is the lighter choice. A retro styled stereo party speaker with water resistance and a 12 hour battery. At 13 lbs (5.9 kg) it weighs noticeably less than the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2 at 19.2 lbs (8.7 kg).
Buy the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2. It is rated higher for sound quality; the Bumpboxx Flare 6 is no longer sold new.
