Short answer: the Bogasing M5. It ranks #61 of 177 medium speakers by sound quality (rated 3.5/5) at $52.99 and is still sold new; the Xdobo X8 ranks #158 (rated 2.3/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used.
Why pick the Xdobo X8: A cheap splash resistant speaker that plays loud for background music outdoors, with aux and microSD playback. The tradeoff: The single full-range driver is the limitation.
The Bogasing M5 is the better-sounding, longer-running choice. A compact, backpack friendly speaker with very long battery life and USB-C charging at a budget price. It is rated for 30 hours of battery against 15 for the Xdobo X8. It is rated IPX7 against IPX5 for the Xdobo X8. Watch for: Front/rear driver configuration.
Buy the Bogasing M5. It is rated higher for sound quality and still sold new, while the Xdobo X8 is discontinued.
