Short answer: the Tronsmart Bang 2. It ranks #56 of 126 large speakers by sound quality, rated 3.6/5, at $109.99. The W-King D8 ranks #61, rated 3.5/5, at $69.98, $40.01 cheaper, a saving that is not big enough to make up the sound-quality gap.
What the Tronsmart Bang 2 does well: A loud party speaker whose bass holds up at high volume, with water resistance, a long battery, app EQ and a shoulder strap. It links with other speakers (multi-speaker pairing), which the W-King D8 cannot. It has an adjustable EQ, which the W-King D8 lacks. The catch: Verdicts against the Soundcore Boom 2 and the Tribit Stormbox Lava were split: Dominik Reviews preferred the Soundcore Boom 2, and several listeners found the Bang 2’s mids muffled and its highs subdued without custom EQ.
Why pick the W-King D8: An affordable stereo boombox with four drivers, waterproofing, and a long battery for backyard and beach playlists. Watch for: Bass is limited by its 49Hz specification.
Buy the Tronsmart Bang 2. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $40.01 you would save on the W-King D8 does not close the gap.
