Short answer: the LG Xboom Stage 301. It ranks #36 of 113 boombox speakers by sound quality, rated 3.7/5, at $229.99. The W-King X10-1 ranks #90, rated 2.4/5, at $139.99, $90 cheaper, a saving that is not big enough to make up the sound-quality gap.
The LG Xboom Stage 301 is the better-sounding, deeper-bass option. A wedge shaped karaoke speaker with a swappable battery and multiple standing positions. Its bass reaches about 43Hz before falling 10dB, against 63Hz for the W-King X10-1. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the W-King X10-1 lacks. It links with other speakers (Auracast), which the W-King X10-1 cannot. The catch: overpriced for what it is.
The W-King X10-1 is the longer-running, lighter option. An affordable stereo boombox with a very long battery, loud output, waterproofing and a power bank for charging phones. It is rated for 42 hours of battery against 12 for the LG Xboom Stage 301. At 6.5 lbs (2.95 kg) it weighs much less than the LG Xboom Stage 301 at 13.7 lbs (6.2 kg). It is rated IPX6 against IPX4 for the LG Xboom Stage 301. The catch: Rolled off treble, not much bass.
Buy the LG Xboom Stage 301. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $90 you would save on the W-King X10-1 does not close the gap.
