Short answer: the Skullcandy Terrain 2, though neither ranks well in its class. It ranks #151 of 175 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 2.4/5, at $59.99. The Walla Sound ranks #162, rated 2.2/5, at $49.99, $10 cheaper, which does not close the gap in sound quality. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 175 medium speakers, so if sound quality matters, consider the EarFun Uboom L instead, ranked #2 at $49.79.
The Skullcandy Terrain 2 is the longer-running, tougher option. Rated for 14 hours, up from the first generation, with IPX7 waterproofing, an LED light show, a wrist strap and Multi-Link pairing with up to 99 Skullcandy speakers. It is rated for 14 hours of battery against 8 for the Walla Sound. It is rated IPX7 against IPX5 for the Walla Sound. It charges over USB-C rather than Micro USB. Watch for: No measurements, so its rating is estimated from listening impressions.
The case for the Walla Sound: IPX5 water resistant, 8-hour battery life, shockproof construction, Bluetooth 5.0, MicroSD card support, AUX input, built-in HD microphone, voice assistant compatible, lightweight 0.7 lbs (300 g). The tradeoff: No bass, gets distorted when turned up.
Buy the Skullcandy Terrain 2. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $10 with the Walla Sound does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
Worth knowing: the Skullcandy Terrain 2 has not been measured yet. Its rating is estimated from related models, with a likely range of 2.1 to 2.8, so treat this verdict as provisional.

Pros: Rated for 14 hours, up from the first generation, with IPX7 waterproofing, an LED light show, a wrist strap and Multi-Link pairing with up to 99 Skullcandy speakers. Reviewers hear more bass and cleaner mids than the Skullcandy Terrain.
Cons: No measurements, so its rating is estimated from listening impressions. It builds on the Skullcandy Terrain, whose thin bass and rolled off treble rank near the bottom of its class, and there is still no app or EQ.
