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 179 medium speakers by sound quality at $49.99; the Xiaomi Sound Pocket ranks #60 of 62 small speakers by sound quality at $20.99.
What the Xiaomi Sound Outdoor does well: An affordable waterproof outdoor speaker with a separate tweeter, decent battery life and linking to many more speakers. 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.
The Xiaomi Sound Pocket is the lighter option. A truly pocketable, very cheap waterproof speaker with USB-C charging and stereo pairing, fine for hotel rooms and travel. At 0.4 lbs (200 g) it weighs much less than the Xiaomi Sound Outdoor at 1.3 lbs (597 g). The tradeoff: Its 5W driver has little real bass, and vocals can become harsh as volume rises beyond roughly 80%.
Buy the Xiaomi Sound Outdoor ($49.99) for a medium speaker; the Xiaomi Sound Pocket ($20.99) suits a small speaker instead.
