Short answer: the LG Xboom Bounce. It ranks #33 of 115 large speakers by sound quality, rated 4.0/5, at $103.17; the Klipsch Detroit ranks #76, rated 3.1/5, and costs $235.11, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
Why pick the Klipsch Detroit: A rugged, fully waterproof stereo boombox with a long battery, fast USB-C charging, and power bank output. Watch for: Weird boosted upper bass, bass not very deep.
The LG Xboom Bounce is the better-sounding, longer-running choice. A tough, waterproof speaker that survives drops and extreme temperatures, with a long battery and multipoint pairing. It is rated for 30 hours of battery against 20 for the Klipsch Detroit. At 2.9 lbs (1.32 kg) it weighs much less than the Klipsch Detroit at 5.5 lbs (2.5 kg). It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Klipsch Detroit lacks. Watch for: Bass extension not as deep as the top speakers.
Buy the LG Xboom Bounce. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Klipsch Detroit and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
