Short answer: the LG Xboom Grab. It ranks #106 of 179 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 3.0/5, at $104.99. The Sony SRS-XE200 ranks #146, rated 2.5/5, at $69.99, $35 cheaper, which does not close the gap in sound quality.
The LG Xboom Grab is the better-sounding pick. A rugged waterproof speaker with elastic mounting straps, a long 20 hour battery, multipoint pairing and app room calibration. Watch for: Bass extension not as deep as the top speakers.
What the Sony SRS-XE200 does well: A waterproof speaker with simple dedicated buttons, fast charging, and a shape that can prop up a phone or tablet. It supports LDAC Bluetooth, which the LG Xboom Grab lacks. It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the LG Xboom Grab. Watch for: Sounds hollow.
Buy the LG Xboom Grab. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $35 saving on the Sony SRS-XE200 is not enough to make up the difference.
