Short answer: the LG Xboom Grab. It ranks #106 of 177 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 3.0/5, at $100.98. The W-King D8 Mini ranks #135, rated 2.6/5, at $49.99, $50.99 cheaper, not enough of a saving to outweigh the sound-quality gap.
The LG Xboom Grab is the better-sounding, lighter choice. A rugged waterproof speaker with elastic mounting straps, a long 20 hour battery, multipoint pairing and app room calibration. At 1.5 lbs (680 g) it weighs much less than the W-King D8 Mini at 2.8 lbs (1.26 kg). The tradeoff: Bass extension not as deep as the top speakers.
The W-King D8 Mini is the deeper-bass choice. An inexpensive water resistant stereo speaker with indoor and outdoor sound modes and a long rated battery. Its bass reaches about 63Hz before falling 10dB, against 75Hz for the LG Xboom Grab. It keeps a wired aux input, which the LG Xboom Grab lacks. It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the LG Xboom Grab. The catch: Recessed midrange, harsh treble.
Buy the LG Xboom Grab. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $50.99 with the W-King D8 Mini does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
