Short answer: the Skullcandy Terrain/Terrain XT/Terrain XL for better sound quality, the Doss Soundbox Pro for the lower price. The Skullcandy Terrain/Terrain XT/Terrain XL ranks #129 of 136 medium speakers at $49.24. The Doss Soundbox Pro ranks #130 at $29.99, $19.25 cheaper.
On the Skullcandy Terrain/Terrain XT/Terrain XL side: IPX7 rated with a carry strap. Set against that: No bass, very rolled off treble.
The case for the Doss Soundbox Pro: 20W output, waterproof (IPX6), excellent battery life (20 hours), extra bass button and LED lights, MicroSD card support, dual woofer drivers. The tradeoff: Barely any bass.
Buy the Skullcandy Terrain/Terrain XT/Terrain XL if sound quality matters more than the price. Buy the Doss Soundbox Pro if the price matters more than sound quality.
If sound quality matters at all to you, skip both of these and look higher up the 136 medium speakers instead.
