Short answer: the W-King D8 Mini, though neither ranks well in its class. It ranks #135 of 177 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 2.6/5, at $49.99; the Walla Sound ranks #163, rated 2.2/5, at $49.99. With prices this close, go by the sound-quality ranking rather than the cost. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 177 medium speakers; for better sound, the EarFun Uboom L ranks #2 at $49.79.
The Walla Sound is the lighter pick. A small shockproof speaker with an aux input, microSD playback and a built in microphone. At 0.7 lbs (300 g) it weighs much less than the W-King D8 Mini at 2.8 lbs (1.26 kg). The catch: No bass, gets distorted when turned up.
The W-King D8 Mini is the better-sounding, deeper-bass option. An inexpensive water resistant stereo speaker with indoor and outdoor sound modes and a long rated battery. Its bass reaches about 63Hz before falling 10dB, against 90Hz for the Walla Sound. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 8 for the Walla Sound. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Walla Sound lacks. Watch for: Recessed midrange, harsh treble.
Buy the W-King D8 Mini. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Walla Sound at the same price, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
