Short answer: the Tribit Xsound Plus 2. It ranks #36 of 177 medium speakers by sound quality (rated 3.9/5) at $69.99 and is still sold new; the Xdobo X8 ranks #158 (rated 2.3/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used.
The Tribit Xsound Plus 2 is the better-sounding, deeper-bass choice. An affordable waterproof stereo speaker with long battery life and an app EQ that can tune it to sound well balanced. Its bass reaches about 55Hz before falling 10dB, against 65Hz for the Xdobo X8. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 15 for the Xdobo X8. It is rated IPX7 against IPX5 for the Xdobo X8. Watch for: Boosted treble, boosted bass in the factory EQs.
Why pick the Xdobo X8: A cheap splash resistant speaker that plays loud for background music outdoors, with aux and microSD playback. The catch: The single full-range driver is the limitation.
Buy the Tribit Xsound Plus 2. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the Xdobo X8 is discontinued, so it is only available used.
