Different classes, so treat this as a step-up-or-not question rather than a head-to-head. The Soundcore Rave 3S ranks #20 of 53 party speakers by sound quality at $299.99; the W-King X20 ranks #43 of 113 boombox speakers by sound quality at $229.99.
What the Soundcore Rave 3S does well: A big party speaker with two wireless microphones, a remote, and a vocal removal feature for karaoke nights. It links with other speakers (Auracast), which the W-King X20 cannot. The catch: Some upper bass and upper mids boost.
The W-King X20 is the longer-running, lighter option. A loud stereo party speaker with a large subwoofer, a 24 hour battery with power bank, and water resistance. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 12 for the Soundcore Rave 3S. At 15.9 lbs (7.2 kg) it weighs noticeably less than the Soundcore Rave 3S at 21.6 lbs (9.8 kg). It is rated IPX6 against IPX4 for the Soundcore Rave 3S. Watch for: Rising frequency response but upper treble rolled off, 700Hz and 1.2kHz peaks.
Buy the Soundcore Rave 3S ($299.99) for a party speaker; the W-King X20 ($229.99) suits a boombox speaker instead.
