Short answer: the Klipsch Nashville. It ranks #83 of 177 medium speakers by sound quality (rated 3.3/5) at $89.99 and is still sold new; the Xdobo X8 ranks #158 (rated 2.3/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used.
The Klipsch Nashville is the better-sounding, longer-running pick. A rugged, rubber coated waterproof speaker with long battery life and fast charging that can also charge your phone. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 15 for the Xdobo X8. It is rated IP67 against IPX5 for the Xdobo X8. The catch: Upper bass boost.
Why pick the Xdobo X8: A cheap splash resistant speaker that plays loud for background music outdoors, with aux and microSD playback. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Klipsch Nashville lacks. The catch: The single full-range driver is the limitation.
Buy the Klipsch Nashville. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the Xdobo X8 is discontinued, so it is only available used.
