These are not really the same size class, and that is the honest framing here. The Dewalt DCR010 Jobsite Bluetooth Speaker ranks #96 of 114 large speakers by sound quality at $101.99; the Turtlebox Gen 3 ranks #103 of 111 boombox speakers by sound quality at $430. Both are rated below 3.0/5 for their class (114 large speakers and 111 boombox speakers), so if sound quality matters, look higher up the rankings.
The Dewalt DCR010 Jobsite Bluetooth Speaker is the lighter option. Reviewers and years of owners call it very loud for its size, with stereo sound from two 3 inch drivers and bass that grows with volume, and it holds up to drops on job sites. At 4 lbs (1.8 kg) it weighs much less than the Turtlebox Gen 3 at 10 lbs (4.54 kg). Watch for: Its bass is nowhere near as deep as top ranked large speakers like the JBL Xtreme 5 and Tribit Stormbox Lava, which reach down to about 43 Hz and 44 Hz.
The Turtlebox Gen 3 is the longer-running, tougher pick. Waterproof (IP67, and it floats) and crushproof, with stainless steel hardware and quality amplifier parts inside. It is rated for 25 hours of battery against 10 for the Dewalt DCR010 Jobsite Bluetooth Speaker. It is rated IP67, while the Dewalt DCR010 Jobsite Bluetooth Speaker has no water resistance. It has a microphone input for karaoke or announcements, which the Dewalt DCR010 Jobsite Bluetooth Speaker lacks. The catch: Sounds basically identical to the original and the Turtlebox Gen 2: each generation mainly added features, not sound quality.
Buy the Dewalt DCR010 Jobsite Bluetooth Speaker ($101.99) for a large speaker; the Turtlebox Gen 3 ($430) suits a boombox speaker instead.
