Short answer: the JBL Partybox 130 for a more neutral, fuller sound, the W-King T9 Pro on price. The T9 Pro is noticeably cheaper with 250W of peak power and its own removable battery, but it sounds warm and somewhat gritty next to the 130’s more neutral tuning. The 130 also has a removable battery, plus a handle and wheels, though it is boomier and less clear than the smaller Partybox 120 and costs more for it.
Buy the JBL Partybox 130. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $278.46 you would save on the W-King T9 Pro does not close the gap.
Water resistance is not close: the JBL Partybox 130 is rated at IPX4 (splashing), well ahead of the W-King T9 Pro at no water resistance.
