Score: 83/100
Doss SoundBox XL
Score: 76/100Rankings
The Tribit XSound Go delivers 16 W of loud, balanced sound with a 24-hour battery and IPX7 waterproof durability. Its bulkier form factor and modest bass performance may deter users seeking ultra-compact or deep-bass speakers. Suited for budget-conscious outdoor enthusiasts needing long playtime.
The DOSS SoundBox XL is a budget-friendly speaker offering 32 W output and strong bass with up to 10 hours of playtime. Its weight and lack of water resistance make it less suited for on-the-go outdoor scenarios. Ideal for indoor gatherings where power and bass matter more than portability.
