Short answer: the Tribit Stormbox Lava. It ranks #3 of 120 large speakers by sound quality, rated 4.6/5, at $139.99; the Mee Audio PartySPKR ranks #32, rated 4.1/5, and costs $169.99, so there is little reason to consider the other one.
The Tribit Stormbox Lava is the better-sounding, deeper-bass option. A loud, waterproof large speaker with strong bass, a long battery and an aux input, for far less than its rivals. Its bass reaches about 44Hz before falling 10dB, against 50Hz for the Mee Audio PartySPKR. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 12 for the Mee Audio PartySPKR. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Mee Audio PartySPKR lacks. The catch: XBass can make the low end muddy and obscure vocals, while the deepest notes lose authority and clarity falls at maximum volume.
What the Mee Audio PartySPKR does well: A stereo party speaker with good sound, real bass, lights, sound modes and weather resistance. It links with other speakers (Multi-Link), which the Tribit Stormbox Lava cannot. The catch: Not very deep bass.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox Lava. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Mee Audio PartySPKR and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
