The W-King D8 Bluetooth speaker has a massive 50W of output, up to 24 hours of battery life, can charge your gadgets with its built-in 8000mAh battery, and has an IPX5 water resistance rating. It can even be stereo paired wirelessly with a second identical speaker.

At around $75 or £70, it’s less than a third of the price of the comparable JBL Xtreme 2. I’ll be comparing the budget speaker against the JBL, and also the LG PK7 I reviewed recently. I’ll be testing the sound quality both in and outdoors, which you’ll be able to hear for yourselves.

Do you need to spend more money to get something that sounds good? And is it missing any of the features of the pricier offerings.
