Short answer: the W-King D8 Mini, though neither ranks well in its class. It ranks #132 of 172 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 2.6/5, at $49.99; the Skullcandy Terrain ranks #163, rated 2.1/5, at $49.49. Close enough in price that the sound-quality gap is the deciding factor. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 172 medium speakers, so if sound quality matters, consider the EarFun Uboom L instead, ranked #2 at $49.79.
The W-King D8 Mini is the better-sounding, longer-running option. 30W output with switchable indoor/outdoor EQ modes. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 14 for the Skullcandy Terrain. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Skullcandy Terrain lacks. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Skullcandy Terrain lacks. Watch for: Recessed midrange, harsh treble.
The Skullcandy Terrain is the lighter pick. IPX7 rated with a nylon wrist wrap for carrying. At 1 lbs (458 g) it weighs much less than the W-King D8 Mini at 2.8 lbs (1.26 kg). The tradeoff: No bass, very rolled off treble.
Buy the W-King D8 Mini. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $0.50 with the Skullcandy Terrain does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
