Zealot ZE01 vs Zealot S167

Last updated: October 10, 2026

These sit in different size classes, so this is not a straight ranking comparison. The Zealot ZE01 ranks #35 of 91 boombox speakers by sound quality at $159.90; the Zealot S167 ranks #64 of 103 large speakers by sound quality at $169.

Zealot ZE01 vs Zealot S167

What the Zealot ZE01 does well: Appears to be the same internals as the Zealot S95. The tradeoff: A little rolled off up top and not that balanced through the rest of the range.

The Zealot S167 is the lighter pick. 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. At 9.4 lbs (4.28 kg) it weighs noticeably less than the Zealot ZE01 at 13.2 lbs (6 kg). The tradeoff: 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 Zealot ZE01 at $159.90 for a boombox speaker, or the Zealot S167 at $169 for a large speaker instead.

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.
