Short answer: the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3, if you are buying new. The Tribit Xsound Mega ranks higher than it (#21 vs #110 of 175 medium speakers, 4.1/5 vs 2.9/5) but is discontinued, so only consider it used; the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3 is still sold new at $79.99.
The Tribit Xsound Mega is the better-sounding, deeper-bass choice. Deepest bass of any medium size speaker. Its bass reaches about 47Hz before falling 10dB, against 76Hz for the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3. Alan Ross Reviews measured it at 100dB at full volume, against 87dB for the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3. It is rated for 20 hours of battery against 14 for the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3. The catch: Single driver, not stereo.
The Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3 is the lighter choice. IP67 rated, floats, and is rated to survive a 5 ft drop onto hard surfaces. At 0.9 lbs (420 g) it weighs much less than the Tribit Xsound Mega at 2.2 lbs (1.02 kg). The catch: Not stereo, barely any bass.
Buy the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3 new; the Tribit Xsound Mega is no longer sold new, so it only makes sense as a used find.

Tribit Xsound Mega: $116.70 Discontinued Amazon $116.70 eBay
Pros: Deepest bass of any medium size speaker. Use xbass mode for flattest frequency response. Measured bass extension of 47Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Single driver, not stereo. Lack of detail. Lack of upper treble, peaky lower treble. Not great off axis. Keep in mind this speaker gives up some sound quality for deeper bass. Discontinued.

Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3: $79.99 Amazon $79.99 eBay
Newer model: the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4, ranked higher, rated 2.9/5, released Jun 2024.
Older models: the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 (ranked lower, rated 2.9/5) and the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom (ranked lower, rated 2.9/5). See every Ultimate Ears Wonderboom, Boom and Megaboom generation.
Pros: IP67 rated, floats, and is rated to survive a 5 ft drop onto hard surfaces. 14 hour battery: longer than the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2. Measured bass extension of 76Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Not stereo, barely any bass. Boosted 93Hz upper bass. Cuts bass heavily at high volume. You can tell from the micro USB that they are just feeding you the same crap hardware over and over, this is inexcusable for a product released in 2022. Not technically a 360 speaker, only front and rear.
