Short answer: the Yeahbox Sonic Boom Max 3. It ranks #59 of 112 boombox speakers by sound quality (rated 3.2/5) at $228.99 and is still sold new; the Bumpboxx Flare 6 ranks #82 (rated 2.6/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used.
The Yeahbox Sonic Boom Max 3 is the better-sounding pick. A large party speaker with powerful bass, a big fast charging battery and app EQ for outdoor parties. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Bumpboxx Flare 6 lacks. The catch: There is limited independent testing and the water/dust rating is reported inconsistently across listings.
The Bumpboxx Flare 6 is the lighter pick. A retro styled stereo party speaker with water resistance and a 12 hour battery. At 13 lbs (5.9 kg) it weighs noticeably less than the Yeahbox Sonic Boom Max 3 at 16.8 lbs (7.64 kg).
Buy the Yeahbox Sonic Boom Max 3. It is rated higher for sound quality and still sold new, while the Bumpboxx Flare 6 is discontinued.
