Short answer: the Soundcore Boom 2. It ranks #10 of 120 large speakers by sound quality, rated 4.5/5, at $99.99. The DOSS Extreme Boom ranks #115, rated 2.1/5, at $75.99, $24 cheaper, a saving that is not big enough to make up the sound-quality gap.
The Soundcore Boom 2 is the better-sounding, deeper-bass option. A light, waterproof large speaker with deep bass for its size, a 24 hour battery and fun lighting. Its bass reaches about 47Hz before falling 10dB, against 65Hz for the DOSS Extreme Boom. At 3.7 lbs (1.68 kg) it weighs noticeably less than the DOSS Extreme Boom at 5.6 lbs (2.52 kg). It links with other speakers (PartyCast 2.0 up to 100 speakers), which the DOSS Extreme Boom cannot. The catch: Only a single midrange driver, so you only get stereo for the tweeters.
The case for the DOSS Extreme Boom: An affordable waterproof outdoor speaker with a long rated battery, power bank output, and bass heavy sound for casual parties. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Soundcore Boom 2 lacks. The tradeoff: The measured 65Hz -10dB bass point means it lacks true low bass despite its boomy voicing.
Buy the Soundcore Boom 2. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $24 with the DOSS Extreme Boom does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
