Different classes, so treat this as a step-up-or-not question rather than a head-to-head. The Turtlebox Ranger ranks #62 of 179 medium speakers by sound quality at $250; the Turtlebox Cub ranks #85 of 120 large speakers by sound quality at $330.
Different sizes. The Ranger is a medium 2.4 lbs (1.1 kg) speaker with magnets for mounting. The Cub is a large 5.3 lbs (2.4 kg) cube with a handle, a 4.5 inch woofer and a separate 1.3 inch titanium tweeter. Each is rated within its own class.
The Cub has more bass, according to a reviewer who owns both, and plays louder. The Ranger has a smoother response than the other Turtlebox speakers, but its bass sounds thuddy.
Both are IP67 and built to take abuse. The Cub claims 14+ hours and has a USB-C power bank output, Party Mode and stereo pairing.
Evidence is thin for the Cub so far: listening impressions from two reviews, with no measurements.
Buy the Turtlebox Ranger ($250) for a medium speaker; the Turtlebox Cub ($330) suits a large speaker instead.
