Xiaomi Sound Party vs Zealot S167

Last updated: October 10, 2026

These sit in different size classes, so this is not a straight ranking comparison. The Xiaomi Sound Party ranks #20 of 166 medium speakers by sound quality at $149.99; the Zealot S167 ranks #64 of 103 large speakers by sound quality at $169.

Xiaomi Sound Party vs Zealot S167

The Xiaomi Sound Party is the lighter choice. An unusually versatile 2.6 lbs (1.2 kg) outdoor speaker: IP67 dust/water protection, USB-C power-bank output, NFC pairing, lights, stereo pairing and a claimed 26-hour battery life. At 2.6 lbs (1.2 kg) it weighs much less than the Zealot S167 at 9.4 lbs (4.28 kg). The catch: The sound evidence is mixed rather than universally glowing.

What the Zealot S167 does well: Zealot rates the S167 at 100W through four drivers: two 92mm woofers and two 42mm units, with a claimed 20Hz-20kHz response and better than 90dB signal-to-noise. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Xiaomi Sound Party lacks. The catch: The official parameter table publishes no IP rating and no verified playback time, and conflicting retail figures (IPX6, 24 hours, even 4 hours) are unconfirmed.

Buy the Xiaomi Sound Party at $149.99 for a medium speaker, or the Zealot S167 at $169 for a large speaker instead.

Xiaomi Sound Party ranking card

Pros: An unusually versatile 1.2kg outdoor speaker: IP67 dust/water protection, USB-C power-bank output, NFC pairing, lights, stereo pairing and a claimed 26-hour battery life. Several independent reviews describe a warm, generally balanced sound with clear vocals and useful bass impact when Bass Boost is off. It is also easy to carry thanks to the retractable handle. Measured bass extension of 54Hz (-10dB).

Cons: The sound evidence is mixed rather than universally glowing. One lab review found it loud but flat and unclean with blurred treble, while others hear the Bass Boost mode as boomy upper bass that can bottom out at high volume. It is not the strongest choice for a large party: tested output is around 94dB and rivals such as the Soundcore Boom 2 play louder with deeper bass. SBC is the only Bluetooth codec and there is no aux input.

Zealot S167: $169.00 Amazon eBay

Zealot S167 ranking card

Pros: Zealot rates the S167 at 100W through four drivers: two 92mm woofers and two 42mm units, with a claimed 20Hz-20kHz response and better than 90dB signal-to-noise. The 24000mAh battery (six 21700 cells), Type-C charging, 5V/2A power-bank output, RGB lighting, TWS/multi-speaker linking and onboard EQ suit parties and off-grid use. A 3.5mm AUX input, USB-A and microSD playback accept most sources, and a shoulder strap, storage bag and carry handle make the 3.6kg (net) box transportable. Techder Audios measured it as very loud for the money.

Cons: The official parameter table publishes no IP rating and no verified playback time, and conflicting retail figures (IPX6, 24 hours, even 4 hours) are unconfirmed. Power claims also conflict, from 100W on the spec sheet to 150W peak marketing. With no independent measurements, the 20Hz bass extension, real maximum SPL and distortion (only a ‘<1%‘ claim) are unknown. Charging is rated DC 5V - slow for a 24000mAh pack - no charge time is confirmed, and Bluetooth codecs are unspecified. Techder Audios found it less detailed than the smaller Xiaomi Sound Party 50W, with bass that is stronger rather than deeper.
