Short answer: the Aiwa Exos-10, if you are buying new. The Aiwa Exos-9 ranks higher than it (#9 vs #44 of 113 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 $399.99.
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.
