Short answer: the Xiaomi Sound Outdoor. It ranks #46 of 182 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 3.7/5, at $49.99; the Bose SoundLink Revolve (Series II) ranks #53, rated 3.6/5, and costs $194, which makes this an easy call rather than a real tradeoff.
The Xiaomi Sound Outdoor is the tougher pick. An affordable waterproof outdoor speaker with a separate tweeter, decent battery life and linking to many more speakers. It is rated IP67 against IP55 for the Bose SoundLink Revolve (Series II). It charges over USB-C rather than Micro USB. Watch for: 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.
Why pick the Bose SoundLink Revolve (Series II): A compact speaker that plays all around to fill a room, with a speakerphone mic and splash resistance. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Xiaomi Sound Outdoor lacks. The tradeoff: RTINGS found it lacks low bass, so there’s little deep thump or rumble.
Buy the Xiaomi Sound Outdoor. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Bose SoundLink Revolve (Series II) and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
