Short answer: the W-King D8. It ranks #58 of 115 large speakers by sound quality, rated 3.5/5, at $79.99; the Xdobo X8 Max ranks #83, rated 2.9/5, and costs $105.99, which makes this an easy call rather than a real tradeoff.
Why pick the Xdobo X8 Max: A feature packed waterproof boombox with a huge battery, power bank output, and enough volume for outdoor background music. The tradeoff: The voicing is bass-heavy with thin, boosted highs that can turn harsh, and reviews report distortion rather than clean dynamics when pushed hard.
The W-King D8 is the better-sounding, longer-running choice. An affordable stereo boombox with four drivers, waterproofing, and a long battery for backyard and beach playlists. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 15 for the Xdobo X8 Max.
Buy the W-King D8. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Xdobo X8 Max and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
