Short answer: both are discontinued, so this only matters if you are buying used, though neither ranks well in its class. Used, the Ortizan M8 is the better pick: it ranks #120 of 126 large speakers by sound quality (rated 2.1/5), against #125 (rated 2.0/5) for the T&G 118. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 126 large speakers, so if sound quality matters, consider the Soundcore Rave Neo 2 instead, ranked #21 at $84.99.
The Ortizan M8 is the longer-running option. An affordable waterproof speaker that plays loud background music, with power bank output and a long rated battery, now discontinued. It is rated for 18 hours of battery against 9 for the T&G 118. Watch for: Bass is limited for the stated output and can distort or rattle at high volume, undermining its party-speaker ambitions.
The T&G 118 is the lighter pick. A very cheap, waterproof speaker with stereo pairing, a speakerphone, and USB-C charging, now discontinued. At 2.4 lbs (1.1 kg) it weighs much less than the Ortizan M8 at 4.6 lbs (2.1 kg). The catch: A lot of distortion above 50%, no bass.
Buy the Ortizan M8 only if you find one used in good condition; both are discontinued, and it is the better rated of the two. For a new speaker, start with the Soundcore Rave Neo 2 instead.
