Short answer: the Xiaomi Sound Party. It ranks #20 of 182 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 4.1/5, at $135.84. The DBSONO X-Blast F37 ranks #118, rated 2.8/5, at $69.99, $65.85 cheaper, not enough of a saving to outweigh the sound-quality gap.
The Xiaomi Sound Party is the better-sounding, longer-running option. A versatile outdoor speaker with warm, balanced sound, fully waterproof build, long battery life, a phone charging port and a handy retractable handle. It is rated for 26 hours of battery against 8 for the DBSONO X-Blast F37. It is rated IP67 against IPX5 for the DBSONO X-Blast F37. Watch for: The sound evidence is mixed rather than universally glowing.
The DBSONO X-Blast F37 is the lighter choice. An affordable splash resistant speaker with a separate woofer and tweeter, long Bluetooth range and stereo pairing. At 1.7 lbs (771 g) it weighs noticeably less than the Xiaomi Sound Party at 2.6 lbs (1.2 kg). The tradeoff: Very recessed lower mids, peaky upper mids, just not a great frequency response overall.
Buy the Xiaomi Sound Party. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $65.85 you would save on the DBSONO X-Blast F37 does not close the gap.
