Short answer: the W-King D8. It ranks #58 of 115 large speakers by sound quality, rated 3.5/5, at $79.99; the DALI Katch G2 ranks #85, rated 2.8/5, and costs $750, so there is little reason to consider the other one.
The W-King D8 is the better-sounding option. An affordable stereo boombox with four drivers, waterproofing, and a long battery for backyard and beach playlists.
The DALI Katch G2 is the lighter option. A slim, elegant waterproof stereo speaker with a built in strap, a very long battery, and high quality Bluetooth. At 2.4 lbs (1.1 kg) it weighs much less than the W-King D8 at 5.4 lbs (2.43 kg). It supports aptX HD Bluetooth, which the W-King D8 lacks. The catch: Loses bass quickly after 40% volume.
Buy the W-King D8. It is rated higher for sound quality than the DALI Katch G2 and costs less, which makes it the one to get unless you need something the other one does better.
