Short answer: the EarFun Uboom L. It ranks #2 of 179 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 4.6/5, at $49.79; the Sony SRS-XE200 ranks #146, rated 2.5/5, and costs $69.99, so there is little reason to consider the other one.
The EarFun Uboom L is the better-sounding choice. A great value medium speaker with clear, natural sound, waterproofing, and a Video Mode that keeps audio in sync with video. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Sony SRS-XE200 lacks. The tradeoff: It cannot produce real low-bass rumble or fill a large, noisy space, and the top end loses some detail.
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 EarFun Uboom L lacks. It links with other speakers (Party Connect up to 100 speakers), which the EarFun Uboom L cannot. The tradeoff: Sounds hollow.
Buy the EarFun Uboom L. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Sony SRS-XE200 and costs less, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.
