Short answer: the W-King T9. It ranks #50 of 115 large speakers by sound quality, rated 3.6/5, at $111.23. The Xdobo X8 Max ranks #83, rated 2.9/5, at $105.99, $5.24 cheaper, a saving that is not big enough to make up the sound-quality gap.
The Xdobo X8 Max is the lighter, tougher pick. A feature packed waterproof boombox with a huge battery, power bank output, and enough volume for outdoor background music. At 6.3 lbs (2.86 kg) it weighs much less than the W-King T9 at 10.1 lbs (4.6 kg). It is rated IPX7, while the W-King T9 has no water resistance. Watch for: 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 T9 is the better-sounding, longer-running option. A loud stereo party speaker with a wireless microphone for karaoke, lights, a long battery and a power bank. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 15 for the Xdobo X8 Max. The catch: Peaks in the upper mids which makes it sound a bit harsh.
Buy the W-King T9. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $5.24 you would save on the Xdobo X8 Max does not close the gap.
