Short answer: the KEF Muo gen2. It ranks #96 of 177 medium speakers by sound quality (rated 3.1/5) at $249.99 and is still sold new; the Xdobo X8 ranks #158 (rated 2.3/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used.
What the Xdobo X8 does well: A cheap splash resistant speaker that plays loud for background music outdoors, with aux and microSD playback. It keeps a wired aux input, which the KEF Muo gen2 lacks. The tradeoff: The single full-range driver is the limitation.
The KEF Muo gen2 is the better-sounding, longer-running pick. A stylish waterproof stereo speaker with aptX Adaptive, USB-C audio input, Auracast and long battery life. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 15 for the Xdobo X8. It is rated IP67 against IPX5 for the Xdobo X8. It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the Xdobo X8. The tradeoff: Lacking deeper bass.
Buy the KEF Muo gen2. It is rated higher for sound quality and still sold new, while the Xdobo X8 is discontinued.
