Short answer: the EarFun Uboom X on value, the JBL Boombox 3 Wifi for sheer output. The Boombox 3 Wifi is the loudest speaker in the category, though its bass is boosted. The Oluv-tuned Uboom X costs $159.99 against $389.95, a $229.96 gap, and only needs its out-of-the-box 0.33 firmware and EQ replaced to sound its best.
Buy the JBL Boombox 3 Wifi if you want one new; the EarFun Uboom X is discontinued, so only look for it used.
