Short answer: the Aiwa Exos-10, if you are buying new. The Aiwa Exos-9 ranks higher than it (#9 vs #37 of 85 boombox speakers, 4.2/5 vs 3.5/5) but is discontinued, so only consider it used; the Aiwa Exos-10 is still sold new at $159.99.
The older Exos 9 sounds better. Side by side, owners find the Exos 9 clearer with tighter bass and no breakup, while the Exos-10’s bass is looser and boomier. The Exos 9 is a ported three-way design; the Exos-10 uses one 6.5” woofer with passive radiators.
Features went both ways. The Exos-10 adds FM radio and a spectrum analyzer display, but drops the Exos 9’s 5-band EQ for simple bass and treble controls, and its battery is no longer removable.
The Exos 9 is discontinued, so it is a used buy. A replacement battery keeps an Exos 9 going.
Buy the Aiwa Exos-10 if you want one new; the Aiwa Exos-9 is discontinued, so only look for it used.

Aiwa Exos-9: $250 Discontinued eBay

Cons: Bass is limited by its 44Hz specification. There is no companion app. Discontinued.

Aiwa Exos-10: $159.99 Amazon eBay
Older model: the Aiwa Exos-9 (ranked higher, rated 4.2/5).
Pros: Clear, clean treble with good separation of instruments and vocals, and no distortion even near full volume in a side by side test against the W-King X20, where it kept up in loudness at 90%. A 200W RMS tri-amplified design with a 6.5” woofer and four passive radiators, FM radio with presets, aux and USB inputs, a remote, analog-style VU meters and Party Sync with 100+ speakers.
Cons: It lacks deep bass: even with bass maxed it rolls off around 50Hz, where the W-King X20 and Zealot boomboxes reach deeper, and it is about 2dB quieter at full volume. Owners comparing it with the Aiwa Exos 9 it replaces find the older model clearer with tighter bass, and the Exos 10 drops the Exos 9’s 5-band EQ (only bass and treble) and removable battery. Claimed battery life is 12 hours.
