Short answer: the Bogasing G4. It ranks #27 of 179 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 4.0/5, at $42.49; the Sony SRS-XE200 ranks #146, rated 2.5/5, and costs $69.99, which makes this an easy call rather than a real tradeoff.
The Bogasing G4 is the better-sounding, longer-running choice. A light, affordable waterproof speaker with surprisingly strong bass for its size, solid loudness, long battery life and stereo pairing. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 16 for the Sony SRS-XE200. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Sony SRS-XE200 lacks. Watch for: The upper treble is boosted and uneven, while the mids sit slightly behind the bass and highs, so it is not a neutral choice for vocal-focused music.
What the Sony SRS-XE200 does well: A waterproof speaker with simple dedicated buttons, fast charging, and a shape that can prop up a phone or tablet. It supports LDAC Bluetooth, which the Bogasing G4 lacks. It links with other speakers (Party Connect up to 100 speakers), which the Bogasing G4 cannot. The tradeoff: Sounds hollow.
Buy the Bogasing G4. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Sony SRS-XE200 and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
