Short answer: the Xiaomi Sound Party if sound quality matters most, the Bogasing M5 if price matters most. The Xiaomi Sound Party ranks #20 of 177 medium speakers, rated 4.1/5, at $149.99. The Bogasing M5 ranks #61, rated 3.5/5, at $52.99, $97 cheaper.
The Xiaomi Sound Party is the better-sounding, deeper-bass option. A versatile outdoor speaker with warm, balanced sound, fully waterproof build, long battery life, a phone charging port and a handy retractable handle. Its bass reaches about 54Hz before falling 10dB, against 61Hz for the Bogasing M5. Alan Ross Reviews measured it at 102dB at full volume, against 96dB for the Bogasing M5. The catch: The sound evidence is mixed rather than universally glowing.
The Bogasing M5 is the lighter option. A compact, backpack friendly speaker with very long battery life and USB-C charging at a budget price. At 1.7 lbs (757 g) it weighs noticeably less than the Xiaomi Sound Party at 2.6 lbs (1.2 kg). It keeps a wired aux input, which the Xiaomi Sound Party lacks. The tradeoff: Front/rear driver configuration.
Buy the Xiaomi Sound Party when sound quality outweighs the price for you, and the Bogasing M5 when the price outweighs sound quality instead.
