Short answer: the W-King X10-1, though neither ranks well in its class. It ranks #90 of 113 boombox speakers by sound quality, rated 2.4/5, at $139.99; the Turtlebox Gen 3 ranks #105, rated 2.1/5, and costs $430, so there is little reason to consider the other one. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 113 boombox speakers; for better sound, the Tribit Stormbox Blast ranks #2 at $199.99.
The W-King X10-1 is the longer-running, lighter choice. An affordable stereo boombox with a very long battery, loud output, waterproofing and a power bank for charging phones. It is rated for 42 hours of battery against 25 for the Turtlebox Gen 3. At 6.5 lbs (2.95 kg) it weighs noticeably less than the Turtlebox Gen 3 at 10 lbs (4.54 kg). It has an adjustable EQ, which the Turtlebox Gen 3 lacks. The tradeoff: Rolled off treble, not much bass.
Why pick the Turtlebox Gen 3: A loud, waterproof and crushproof outdoor speaker with a big battery, device charging and party mode linking. It links with other speakers (Turtlebox Party Mode), which the W-King X10-1 cannot. The tradeoff: Sounds basically identical to the original and the Turtlebox Gen 2: each generation mainly added features, not sound quality.
Buy the W-King X10-1. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Turtlebox Gen 3 and costs less, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.
