Soundcore Rave Neo 2 vs Pyle Portable Bluetooth PA Speaker 800W

The Soundcore Rave Neo 2 is the better all-around speaker for most shoppers. It is IPX7 waterproof and floats, runs up to 18 hours per charge, and pairs with other PartyCast 2.0 speakers for a bigger setup. The 12-inch PA speaker wins on raw size and inputs: a 12-inch subwoofer, XLR, mic and instrument jacks, a wired mic in the box, FM radio and USB/SD playback. Its battery is the weak point, rated at only about 2 to 3 hours, so it is best for short sets near an outlet.

• Choose the Soundcore Rave Neo 2 if you want a rugged, waterproof speaker that runs all day, floats in the pool and syncs with other Soundcore speakers.
• Choose the 12-inch PA speaker if you need microphone and instrument inputs, a wired mic in the box and a big subwoofer for DJ sets or karaoke.
