Short answer: the Zealot S95. It ranks #37 of 113 boombox speakers by sound quality, rated 3.7/5, at $157.41. The Gemini GRV-650L ranks #56, rated 3.3/5, at $149.95, $7.46 cheaper, a saving that is not big enough to make up the sound-quality gap.
The Zealot S95 is the better-sounding, lighter pick. An affordable stereo boombox with water resistance, a power bank output and linking for up to 100 speakers. At 11.3 lbs (5.11 kg) it weighs noticeably less than the Gemini GRV-650L at 15.7 lbs (7.1 kg). It links with other speakers (PartyAdd up to 100 speakers), which the Gemini GRV-650L cannot. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Gemini GRV-650L lacks. The catch: A little rolled off up top and not that balanced through the rest of the range.
The case for the Gemini GRV-650L: A great value party speaker with an included wireless mic, remote, FM radio and water resistance. The tradeoff: Not quite as deep bass as the top ranked speakers.
Buy the Zealot S95. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $7.46 with the Gemini GRV-650L does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
