Bose SoundLink Revolve II
Minirig 4
The Bose SoundLink Revolve II and the Minirig 4 are both upscale portable speakers meant to stand upright and not meant to go on especially rugged terrain. The Bose has a more comprehensive control scheme and a higher IP55 rating. Most likely due to being slightly larger, it has greater low-end extension. The Bose also lets you use a voice assistant. Unfortunately, it lacks an EQ and uses micro USB to charge. In contrast, the smaller Minirig holds its own by getting a bit louder with better dynamics and offers bass and treble sliders to alter the sound. While its battery life is shorter, you can fast charge it (if you have a 20W USB-C PD adapter) and use it as a power bank for your devices, too. Like the Bose, you can pair it with other compatible speakers. On the downside, its controls aren't as intuitive, and its IPX4 rating isn't as tough.
