Short answer: the LG XL7. It ranks #22 of 50 party speakers by sound quality at $496.19; the Audiocase S10 ranks #34 and costs $892, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
What the LG XL7 offers: Wheels and handle. Watch for: Treble is recessed, bass isn’t as deep as a Partybox 310.
What the Audiocase S10 offers: One of the loudest in category. Watch for: Not great sounding at low volumes.
Buy the LG XL7. It ranks higher for sound quality than the Audiocase S10 and costs less, so there is no real case for the other one.
If battery life is a priority, the Audiocase S10 is rated for 30 hours versus 20 hours for the LG XL7.
If water resistance matters to you, the LG XL7 at IPX4 (splashing) holds up far better than the Audiocase S10 at no water resistance.
