Short answer: the Xdobo Wow Max. It ranks #21 of 113 boombox speakers by sound quality, rated 3.9/5, at $206.09. The Hopestar A65 ranks #57, rated 3.3/5, at $159.99, $46.10 cheaper, which does not close the gap in sound quality.
In a matched volume sound test listeners were split. The Xdobo Wow Max delivers deeper bass that many preferred, but its midrange and vocals are recessed. The Hopestar A65 sounds more open with more vocal presence and plays louder, though with less bass.
The Wow Max is better reviewed overall, with a more refined balance between its bass and treble. The A65 is the one to pick if maximum volume and vocal clarity matter more than deep bass.
Both include wireless microphones for karaoke, two with the Wow Max and one with the A65, and both are big, heavy boomboxes meant for outdoor parties.
Buy the Xdobo Wow Max. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $46.10 with the Hopestar A65 does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
