Short answer: the Bogasing G4. It ranks #27 of 177 medium speakers by sound quality (rated 4.0/5) at $42.49 and is still sold new; the Xdobo X8 ranks #158 (rated 2.3/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used.
The case for the Xdobo X8: A cheap splash resistant speaker that plays loud for background music outdoors, with aux and microSD playback. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Bogasing G4 lacks. The tradeoff: The single full-range driver is the limitation.
The Bogasing G4 is the better-sounding, deeper-bass pick. A light, affordable waterproof speaker with surprisingly strong bass for its size, solid loudness, long battery life and stereo pairing. Its bass reaches about 56Hz before falling 10dB, against 65Hz for the Xdobo X8. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 15 for the Xdobo X8. It is rated IPX7 against IPX5 for the Xdobo X8. The tradeoff: The upper treble is boosted and uneven, while the mids sit slightly behind the bass and highs, so it is not a neutral choice for vocal-focused music.
Buy the Bogasing G4. It is rated higher for sound quality; the Xdobo X8 is no longer sold new.
