Different classes, so treat this as a step-up-or-not question rather than a head-to-head. The Tribit Stormbox Pro ranks #40 of 134 medium speakers at $90; the Xdobo X8 Max ranks #55 of 75 large speakers at $73.
The case for the Tribit Stormbox Pro: 24 hour battery life (60% volume, XBass off). Set against that: Bottom woofer was fixed in a later firmware, upgrade for best sound.
What the Xdobo X8 Max gets right: 100W output power, IPX7 waterproof, 15-hour battery life with power bank function, 20,000mAh battery capacity, Bluetooth 5.0. The catch: Overly boosted bass, thin treble, highs are boosted and harsh.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox Pro at $90 if you want a medium speaker. Buy the Xdobo X8 Max at $73 if you want a large speaker instead.
