Short answer: the Bumpboxx Flare8 Pro, though neither ranks well in its class. It ranks #74 of 113 boombox speakers by sound quality (rated 2.8/5) at $449 and is still sold new; the Bumpboxx Flare 8 ranks #82 (rated 2.6/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 113 boombox speakers, so if sound quality matters, consider the Tribit Stormbox Blast instead, ranked #2 at $199.99.
What the Bumpboxx Flare8 Pro does well: A retro boombox for karaoke and live use, with two wireless mics, guitar and mic inputs, and lots of power. The catch: No independent measurements or tested reviews have been published, so its tonal balance, bass extension and real output can’t be compared with ranked speakers.
What the Bumpboxx Flare 8 does well: A retro styled party speaker with FM radio, water resistance and high volume for small outdoor parties. The tradeoff: Bass is thuddy rather than deep or controlled, and there is no app to improve the tuning.
Buy the Bumpboxx Flare8 Pro. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the Bumpboxx Flare 8 is discontinued, so it is only available used.
