These are not really the same size class, and that is the honest framing here. The Onn Medium Party Speaker Gen 2 ranks #65 of 113 boombox speakers by sound quality at $90; the Xdobo X8 Max ranks #88 of 120 large speakers by sound quality at $105.99.
The Onn Medium Party Speaker Gen 2 is the longer-running option. An affordable waterproof party speaker with a big woofer, lights, a karaoke mic input and FM radio. It is rated for 20 hours of battery against 15 for the Xdobo X8 Max. It links with other speakers (Party Sync Mode), which the Xdobo X8 Max cannot. The tradeoff: Lacking detail compared to the Onn Large Party gen 2 and not as deep of bass.
The Xdobo X8 Max is the lighter option. A feature packed waterproof boombox with a huge battery, power bank output, and enough volume for outdoor background music. At 6.3 lbs (2.86 kg) it weighs much less than the Onn Medium Party Speaker Gen 2 at 11 lbs (5 kg). It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the Onn Medium Party Speaker Gen 2. The catch: The voicing is bass-heavy with thin, boosted highs that can turn harsh, and reviews report distortion rather than clean dynamics when pushed hard.
Buy the Onn Medium Party Speaker Gen 2 ($90) for a boombox speaker; the Xdobo X8 Max ($105.99) suits a large speaker instead.
