Short answer: the Sony SRS-XV900 for party-scale output, the Tribit Xsound Go for portability. The XV900 gets slightly louder than the JBL Partybox 310 and its handle and wheels make it easy to move, but its bass is not as deep and it loses more low end at high volume than the Partybox 310 and every other speaker in its class. The Xsound Go is well balanced, very light at 13.4 oz and IPX7 rated with up to 24 hours of battery, though it lacks quite a bit of bass. The Sony SRS-XV900 is discontinued; its replacement is the Sony ULT Tower 9.
What stands out about the Sony SRS-XV900: It can get slightly louder than the JBL Partybox 310, with a handle and wheels that make it easy to move. The compromise: its bass isn’t as deep and loses more low end at high volume than the Partybox 310 and every other speaker in its class.
Buy the Tribit Xsound Go ($34.99) for a medium speaker; the Sony SRS-XV900 ($900) suits a large party speaker instead.
Water resistance is not close: the Tribit Xsound Go is rated at IPX7 (brief submersion), well ahead of the Sony SRS-XV900 at no water resistance.
