Short answer: the Onn Portable FM Boombox. It ranks #26 of 115 large speakers by sound quality, rated 4.2/5, at $74.83; the DALI Katch G2 ranks #85, rated 2.8/5, and costs $750, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
The Onn Portable FM Boombox is the better-sounding option. An excellent value waterproof boombox that floats, with reasonably deep bass, FM radio, lights and a long battery. It links with other speakers (Party Sync, pairs with 1 other onn. speaker), which the DALI Katch G2 cannot. Watch for: Reasonable frequency response, but not quite as smooth as some of the top-ranked speakers in this size.
The DALI Katch G2 is the longer-running, lighter choice. A slim, elegant waterproof stereo speaker with a built in strap, a very long battery, and high quality Bluetooth. It is rated for 30 hours of battery against 16 for the Onn Portable FM Boombox. At 2.4 lbs (1.1 kg) it weighs much less than the Onn Portable FM Boombox at 4.9 lbs (2.22 kg). Watch for: Loses bass quickly after 40% volume.
Buy the Onn Portable FM Boombox. It is rated higher for sound quality than the DALI Katch G2 and costs less, which makes it the one to get unless you need something the other one does better.
