Short answer: the W-King D10, though neither ranks well in its class. It ranks #80 of 113 boombox speakers by sound quality, rated 2.7/5, at $99.99; the ION Pathfinder 320 ranks #100, rated 2.2/5, and costs $129.99, so there is little reason to consider the other one. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 113 boombox speakers, so if sound quality matters, consider the Zealot S98 instead, ranked #25 at $146.99.
The W-King D10 is the better-sounding, lighter choice. An inexpensive boombox with a 42 hour battery, water resistance, a power bank and a karaoke mic input. At 7.9 lbs (3.6 kg) it weighs much less than the ION Pathfinder 320 at 22.7 lbs (10.3 kg). It has a microphone input for karaoke or announcements, which the ION Pathfinder 320 lacks. It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the ION Pathfinder 320. The catch: Upper bass boost, bass not that deep.
The ION Pathfinder 320 is the longer-running option. A wheeled party speaker with an enormous battery, splash resistance, FM radio and ports for charging phones. It is rated for 100 hours of battery against 42 for the W-King D10. The catch: Bass is not as deep as competitors.
Buy the W-King D10. It is rated higher for sound quality than the ION Pathfinder 320 and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
