Short answer: the Klipsch Detroit. It ranks #81 of 120 large speakers by sound quality, rated 3.1/5, at $235.11. The DOSS Extreme Boom ranks #115, rated 2.1/5, at $75.99, $159.12 cheaper, a saving that is not big enough to make up the sound-quality gap.
The Klipsch Detroit is the better-sounding, deeper-bass pick. A rugged, fully waterproof stereo boombox with a long battery, fast USB-C charging, and power bank output. Its bass reaches about 55Hz before falling 10dB, against 65Hz for the DOSS Extreme Boom. It links with other speakers (Broadcast Mode), which the DOSS Extreme Boom cannot. The tradeoff: Weird boosted upper bass, bass not very deep.
The DOSS Extreme Boom is the longer-running pick. An affordable waterproof outdoor speaker with a long rated battery, power bank output, and bass heavy sound for casual parties. It is rated for 30 hours of battery against 20 for the Klipsch Detroit. The tradeoff: The measured 65Hz -10dB bass point means it lacks true low bass despite its boomy voicing.
Buy the Klipsch Detroit. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $159.12 saving on the DOSS Extreme Boom is not enough to make up the difference.
