Short answer: the Zealot ZE41. It ranks #17 of 112 boombox speakers by sound quality (rated 4.1/5) at $219.95 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 Zealot ZE41 is the better-sounding option. A huge boombox with lots of bass, volume and play time for the money. It links with other speakers (PartyAdd up to 100 speakers), which the Bumpboxx Flare 6 cannot. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Bumpboxx Flare 6 lacks. The tradeoff: The heaviest and biggest boombox speaker around.
The Bumpboxx Flare 6 is the longer-running, lighter pick. A retro styled stereo party speaker with water resistance and a 12 hour battery. It is rated for 12 hours of battery against 4 for the Zealot ZE41. At 13 lbs (5.9 kg) it weighs much less than the Zealot ZE41 at 25.3 lbs (11.48 kg).
Buy the Zealot ZE41. It is rated higher for sound quality and still sold new, while the Bumpboxx Flare 6 is discontinued.
