Short answer: the Tribit Stormbox Lava. It ranks #3 of 120 large speakers by sound quality, rated 4.6/5, at $139.99. The DOSS Extreme Boom ranks #115, rated 2.1/5, at $75.99, $64 cheaper, which does not close the gap in sound quality.
The Tribit Stormbox Lava is the better-sounding, deeper-bass option. A loud, waterproof large speaker with strong bass, a long battery and an aux input, for far less than its rivals. Its bass reaches about 44Hz before falling 10dB, against 65Hz for the DOSS Extreme Boom. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the DOSS Extreme Boom lacks. It has an adjustable EQ, which the DOSS Extreme Boom lacks. The catch: XBass can make the low end muddy and obscure vocals, while the deepest notes lose authority and clarity falls at maximum volume.
Why pick the DOSS Extreme Boom: An affordable waterproof outdoor speaker with a long rated battery, power bank output, and bass heavy sound for casual parties. The catch: The measured 65Hz -10dB bass point means it lacks true low bass despite its boomy voicing.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox Lava. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $64 with the DOSS Extreme Boom does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
