Short answer: the Tribit Stormbox Mini+ for inputs, the W-King D8 Mini for output and EQ modes, though neither ranks well in its class. The Mini+ is IPX7 waterproof with app EQ presets, AAC, TWS, USB-C and a built-in mic, but it is not a great sounding speaker with really weak bass. The D8 Mini puts out 30W with switchable indoor and outdoor EQ modes, though its midrange is recessed and its treble harsh. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 179 medium speakers; for better sound, the EarFun Uboom L ranks #2 at $49.79.
Buy the W-King D8 Mini. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $10 with the Tribit Stormbox Mini+ does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
There is a real battery-life gap here: the W-King D8 Mini is rated for 24 hours, the Tribit Stormbox Mini+ only 12 hours.
