Our Verdict

Alpine Corporation Solar Bluetooth Rock Speaker

Limitless Innovations TikiTunes

The Alpine Corporation Solar Bluetooth Rock Speaker is slightly better for outdoor use than the Limitless Innovations TikiTunes. The Alpine Corporation gets louder with less compression at max volume, has a longer battery life, and supports multi-device pairing. Some listeners may prefer its rock-like design, which comes with a built-in solar panel, while others may prefer the torch light style of the TikiTunes. The TikiTunes is also smaller and more portable, and its 360-degree design offers better directivity for its soundstage.
