Short answer: the Devialet Mania if sound quality matters most, the Xdobo X8 Max if price matters most. The Devialet Mania ranks #52 of 115 large speakers, rated 3.6/5, at $899. The Xdobo X8 Max ranks #83, rated 2.9/5, at $105.99, $793.01 cheaper.
The Devialet Mania is the better-sounding choice. A compact, good looking Wi-Fi and Bluetooth stereo speaker with Alexa built in and splash resistance. The tradeoff: Not very loud.
The Xdobo X8 Max is the longer-running, tougher pick. A feature packed waterproof boombox with a huge battery, power bank output, and enough volume for outdoor background music. It is rated for 15 hours of battery against 10 for the Devialet Mania. It is rated IPX7 against IPX4 for the Devialet Mania. The catch: The voicing is bass-heavy with thin, boosted highs that can turn harsh, and reviews report distortion rather than clean dynamics when pushed hard.
Buy the Devialet Mania when sound quality outweighs the price for you, and the Xdobo X8 Max when the price outweighs sound quality instead.
