Short answer: the W-King D320. It ranks #49 of 177 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 3.6/5, at $52.92; the Sonos Play ranks #56, rated 3.5/5, and costs $299, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
What the Sonos Play does well: A Wi-Fi and Bluetooth portable with wide stereo sound, a long lasting swappable battery, waterproofing and full Sonos multiroom support. It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the W-King D320. The catch: Bass distorts noticeably on bass-heavy tracks at default settings, and the distortion persists even after enabling Trueplay tuning and manually pulling bass back in the app.
Why pick the W-King D320: An affordable waterproof travel speaker with loud, punchy bass, long battery life, an aux input, microSD playback and app EQ. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Sonos Play lacks. The tradeoff: A single D320 is not stereo, and its warm balance trades away some detail and upper-treble air.
Buy the W-King D320. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Sonos Play and costs less, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.
