Short answer: the Sony SRS-XE200, though neither ranks well in its class. It ranks #140 of 172 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 2.5/5, at $69.99. The Skullcandy Terrain ranks #163, rated 2.1/5, at $49.49, $20.50 cheaper, not enough of a saving to outweigh the sound-quality gap. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 172 medium speakers; for better sound, the EarFun Uboom L ranks #2 at $49.79.
The Sony SRS-XE200 is the better-sounding pick. IP67 rated with dedicated per-function buttons. It supports LDAC Bluetooth, which the Skullcandy Terrain lacks. It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the Skullcandy Terrain. The tradeoff: Sounds hollow.
The Skullcandy Terrain is the lighter choice. IPX7 rated with a nylon wrist wrap for carrying. At 1 lbs (458 g) it weighs much less than the Sony SRS-XE200 at 1.8 lbs (800 g). Watch for: No bass, very rolled off treble.
Buy the Sony SRS-XE200. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $20.50 saving on the Skullcandy Terrain is not enough to make up the difference.
