Short answer: the W-King D9, though neither ranks well in its class. It ranks #98 of 120 large speakers by sound quality (rated 2.5/5) at $89.98 and is still sold new; the T&G 118 ranks #119 (rated 2.0/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 120 large speakers, so if sound quality matters, consider the Soundcore Boom 2 instead, ranked #10 at $99.99.
The W-King D9 is the better-sounding, longer-running option. A compact, punchy boombox with a very long rated battery, water resistance, and power bank output for casual outdoor use. It is rated for 40 hours of battery against 9 for the T&G 118. Watch for: Treble rolls off early, limiting air and fine detail, while owner reports note Bluetooth interference and some noise at maximum speaker volume.
The T&G 118 is the lighter option. A very cheap, waterproof speaker with stereo pairing, a speakerphone, and USB-C charging, now discontinued. At 2.4 lbs (1.1 kg) it weighs much less than the W-King D9 at 4.4 lbs (2 kg). The tradeoff: A lot of distortion above 50%, no bass.
Buy the W-King D9. It is rated higher for sound quality; the T&G 118 is no longer sold new.
