Short answer: the JBL Charge 5 Wifi. It ranks #29 of 182 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 4.0/5, at $139.95. The Ortizan X10 ranks #165, rated 2.2/5, at $29.97, $109.98 cheaper, which does not close the gap in sound quality.
The JBL Charge 5 Wifi is the better-sounding, deeper-bass choice. A rugged waterproof speaker with punchy, warm sound plus Wi-Fi streaming over AirPlay and Chromecast, long battery life and a phone charging port. Its bass reaches about 53Hz before falling 10dB, against 64Hz for the Ortizan X10. It charges over USB-C rather than Micro USB. The catch: Shouty upper mids.
The Ortizan X10 is the longer-running, lighter pick. A cheap waterproof speaker with colorful LED lighting, a long rated battery and stereo pairing. It is rated for 30 hours of battery against 20 for the JBL Charge 5 Wifi. At 1.3 lbs (590 g) it weighs much less than the JBL Charge 5 Wifi at 2.2 lbs (1 kg). It keeps a wired aux input, which the JBL Charge 5 Wifi lacks. The catch: Not much bass, very rolled off treble.
Buy the JBL Charge 5 Wifi. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $109.98 with the Ortizan X10 does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
