Short answer: the W-King D8 Mini, though neither ranks well in its class. It ranks #135 of 177 medium speakers by sound quality (rated 2.6/5) at $49.99 and is still sold new; the Xdobo X8 ranks #158 (rated 2.3/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 177 medium speakers, so if sound quality matters, consider the EarFun Uboom L instead, ranked #2 at $49.79.
The Xdobo X8 is the lighter pick. A cheap splash resistant speaker that plays loud for background music outdoors, with aux and microSD playback. At 1.9 lbs (860 g) it weighs noticeably less than the W-King D8 Mini at 2.8 lbs (1.26 kg). The catch: The single full-range driver is the limitation.
The W-King D8 Mini is the better-sounding, longer-running pick. An inexpensive water resistant stereo speaker with indoor and outdoor sound modes and a long rated battery. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 15 for the Xdobo X8. It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the Xdobo X8. The tradeoff: Recessed midrange, harsh treble.
Buy the W-King D8 Mini. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the Xdobo X8 is discontinued, so it is only available used.
