Short answer: the DALI Katch G2, if you are buying new. The Harman Kardon Citation 200 ranks higher than it (#13 vs #84 of 105 large speakers, 4.5/5 vs 2.8/5) but is discontinued, so only consider it used; the DALI Katch G2 is still sold new at $750.
The DALI Katch G2 is the longer-running, lighter option. A slim 2.4 lbs (1.1 kg) stereo speaker with IPX7 waterproofing, a 30-hour battery, aptX HD Bluetooth and a USB power bank output. It is rated for 30 hours of battery against 8 for the Harman Kardon Citation 200. At 2.4 lbs (1.1 kg) it weighs much less than the Harman Kardon Citation 200 at 6.3 lbs (2.85 kg). It is rated IPX7 against IPX4 for the Harman Kardon Citation 200. Watch for: Loses bass quickly after 40% volume.
The Harman Kardon Citation 200 is the better-sounding pick. A 6.3 lbs (2.85 kg) portable smart speaker with Wi-Fi, Google Assistant, IPX4 protection, an 8-hour rated battery and deeper bass than any Onyx. The catch: Overly boomy by default, you can short press the Bluetooth and volume down buttons simultaneously to decrease the bass, and the Bluetooth and volume up buttons simultaneously to increase it.
Buy the DALI Katch G2 new; the Harman Kardon Citation 200 is no longer sold new, so it only makes sense as a used find.
