Short answer: the Zealot S61 for battery life, the Tribit Stormbox Mini+ for features, though neither ranks well in its class. The S61 is IPX7 rated with an exceptional 40-hour battery, 20W output, Bluetooth 5.2, TWS and a compact 1.5 lbs (665 g) body, though the notes say it sounds like a soup can with no bass at all. The Mini+ matches the IPX7 and TWS and adds app EQ presets, AAC, USB-C and a built-in mic, but it is not a great sounding speaker with really weak bass. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 179 medium speakers, and the EarFun Uboom L, ranked #2 at $49.79, is a better place to start if sound quality matters.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox Mini+. It is rated higher for sound quality and still sold new, while the Zealot S61 is discontinued.
Battery life favors the Zealot S61: rated for 40 hours against 12 hours for the Tribit Stormbox Mini+.
