Short answer: the Tribit Stormbox Lava. It ranks #3 of 120 large speakers by sound quality, rated 4.6/5, at $139.99; the Loewe We. Hear Pro ranks #20, rated 4.3/5, and costs $275, so there is little reason to consider the other one.
Why pick the Tribit Stormbox Lava: A loud, waterproof large speaker with strong bass, a long battery and an aux input, for far less than its rivals. Watch for: XBass can make the low end muddy and obscure vocals, while the deepest notes lose authority and clarity falls at maximum volume.
The case for the Loewe We. Hear Pro: A true stereo speaker with excellent separation, a warm balanced midrange and furniture shaking bass at moderate volume. It links with other speakers (up to 14 speakers), which the Tribit Stormbox Lava cannot. Watch for: It runs out of headroom quickly: above about 70% volume the bass drops away, the treble gets harsher, and near maximum there is heavy compression and clipping, so the JBL Xtreme 4, Harman Kardon Go + Play 3 and Bogasing S8 Pro Max all sound fuller and cleaner when played loud.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox Lava. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Loewe We. Hear Pro and costs less, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.
