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 Diamondboxx M3 ranks #76 (rated 2.8/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used.
The Zealot ZE41 is the better-sounding, tougher pick. A huge boombox with lots of bass, volume and play time for the money. It is rated IPX5, while the Diamondboxx M3 has no water resistance. It links with other speakers (PartyAdd up to 100 speakers), which the Diamondboxx M3 cannot. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Diamondboxx M3 lacks. Watch for: The heaviest and biggest boombox speaker around.
The Diamondboxx M3 is the longer-running, lighter option. A compact, very loud boombox with a powerful amplifier and a choice of large battery packs. It is rated for 40 hours of battery against 4 for the Zealot ZE41. At 11 lbs (5 kg) it weighs much less than the Zealot ZE41 at 25.3 lbs (11.48 kg). Watch for: Despite its output, bass does not reach as deep as the best large portables and can distort when pushed hard.
Buy the Zealot ZE41. It is rated higher for sound quality; the Diamondboxx M3 is no longer sold new.
