Short answer: the JBL Xtreme 3 for treble and balance, the W-King X10 for output, battery and features. The Xtreme 3 has better treble and deeper bass than the Xtreme 2 and more balanced sound than the Xtreme 4. The X10 counters with 70W RMS and 120W peak output, a 42-hour battery, power bank function, IPX6 sealing and 106dB max volume, at the cost of heavily rolled off treble and less bass than the top ranked speakers.
Buy the JBL Xtreme 3 ($269.95) for a large speaker; the W-King X10 ($80) suits a boombox speaker instead.
There is a real battery-life gap here: the W-King X10 is rated for 42 hours, the JBL Xtreme 3 only 15 hours.
