Short answer: both are discontinued, so this only matters if you are buying used. Used, the Audiocase S10 is the better pick: it ranks #14 of 17 battery-powered PA speakers by sound quality (rated 3.1/5), against #16 (rated 2.8/5) for the dB Technologies B-Hype M. If you want one new, the Electro-Voice Everse 12 ranks #1 at $1,046.91.
The Audiocase S10 is the better-sounding, longer-running option. A very loud battery PA speaker, with two 10 inch woofers, a removable 30 hour battery, and mic or instrument inputs. It is rated for 30 hours of battery against 4 for the dB Technologies B-Hype M. It supports aptX Bluetooth, which the dB Technologies B-Hype M lacks. The tradeoff: Not great sounding at low volumes.
Why pick the dB Technologies B-Hype M: A portable 10 inch battery PA speaker that comes with a wireless mic, wheels, and a built in media player for presentations. The catch: No deep bass.
Buy the Audiocase S10 only if you find one used in good condition; both are discontinued, and it is the better rated of the two. For a new speaker, start with the Electro-Voice Everse 12 instead.
