Different classes, so treat this as a step-up-or-not question rather than a head-to-head. The Xiaomi Sound Outdoor ranks #46 of 173 medium speakers by sound quality at $49.99; the boAt Stone 1200 Pro ranks #95 of 114 large speakers by sound quality at $45.
The Xiaomi Sound Outdoor is the longer-running, lighter pick. An affordable waterproof outdoor speaker with a separate tweeter, decent battery life and linking to many more speakers. It is rated for 12 hours of battery against 7.5 for the boAt Stone 1200 Pro. At 1.3 lbs (597 g) it weighs much less than the boAt Stone 1200 Pro at 5 lbs (2.25 kg). The tradeoff: Bass reach is limited for the cabinet size, with a rated lower limit of 60Hz, and the boosted bass gets somewhat uncontrolled at high levels.
What the boAt Stone 1200 Pro does well: A lot of party speaker for very little money, with stereo sound, splash resistance, and a karaoke mic input. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Xiaomi Sound Outdoor lacks. It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the Xiaomi Sound Outdoor. The tradeoff: Battery is rated for only 7.5 hours at half volume, short for a 5 lbs (2.25 kg) party tube.
Buy the Xiaomi Sound Outdoor at $49.99 if you want a medium speaker. Buy the boAt Stone 1200 Pro at $45 if you want a large speaker instead.
