Short answer: the W-King D8. It ranks #61 of 120 large speakers by sound quality, rated 3.5/5, at $69.98; the DOSS Soundbox XL ranks #80, rated 3.1/5, and costs $79.99, which makes this an easy call rather than a real tradeoff.
The W-King D8 is the better-sounding, deeper-bass option. An affordable stereo boombox with four drivers, waterproofing, and a long battery for backyard and beach playlists. Its bass reaches about 49Hz before falling 10dB, against 55Hz for the DOSS Soundbox XL. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 10 for the DOSS Soundbox XL. It is rated IPX7 against IPX4 for the DOSS Soundbox XL.
The DOSS Soundbox XL is the lighter option. A light, affordable speaker with a built in subwoofer, splash resistance, microSD playback, and stereo pairing. At 1.2 lbs (557 g) it weighs much less than the W-King D8 at 5.4 lbs (2.43 kg). Watch for: A little hollow sounding.
Buy the W-King D8. It is rated higher for sound quality than the DOSS Soundbox XL and costs less, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.
