Short answer: the W-King X20. It ranks #43 of 113 boombox speakers by sound quality, rated 3.5/5, at $229.99. The Monster Rockin’ Roller 270 ranks #104, rated 2.1/5, at $208.99, $21 cheaper, which does not close the gap in sound quality.
The W-King X20 is the better-sounding, deeper-bass choice. A loud stereo party speaker with a large subwoofer, a 24 hour battery with power bank, and water resistance. Its bass reaches about 42Hz before falling 10dB, against 53Hz for the Monster Rockin’ Roller 270. At 15.9 lbs (7.2 kg) it weighs much less than the Monster Rockin’ Roller 270 at 28.7 lbs (13 kg). It is rated IPX6 against IPX4 for the Monster Rockin’ Roller 270. Watch for: Rising frequency response but upper treble rolled off, 700Hz and 1.2kHz peaks.
The Monster Rockin’ Roller 270 is the longer-running choice. A wheeled party speaker with an enormous battery, sound spread wide around it and a wireless phone charging pad. It is rated for 100 hours of battery against 24 for the W-King X20. Watch for: Bass not as deep as competitors, less neutral than ION speakers.
Buy the W-King X20. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $21 you would save on the Monster Rockin’ Roller 270 does not close the gap.
