Short answer: the W-King X20S. It ranks #30 of 113 boombox speakers by sound quality, rated 3.8/5, at $150.99; the Soundcore Boom 2 Plus ranks #39, rated 3.6/5, and costs $169.99, which makes this an easy call rather than a real tradeoff.
Why pick the W-King X20S: A lighter, waterproof boombox with clear mids, plenty of volume, FM radio and a handle plus shoulder strap. The catch: Less bass and depth than the W-King X20 and about 3dB quieter, and at maximum volume its mids and highs start to drown out the bass.
The Soundcore Boom 2 Plus is the lighter pick. A fairly light stereo boombox, easy to carry to the beach or park. At 8.4 lbs (3.8 kg) it weighs much less than the W-King X20S at 13.8 lbs (6.25 kg). Watch for: Warm tuning meaning a rolled off treble and some upper bass boost.
Buy the W-King X20S. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Soundcore Boom 2 Plus and costs less, which makes it the one to get unless you need something the other one does better.
