Short answer: the DOSS Soundbox XL. It ranks #85 of 126 large speakers by sound quality, rated 3.1/5, at $79.99; the Tronsmart Force Max ranks #91, rated 3.0/5, and costs $119.99, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
The DOSS Soundbox XL is the lighter pick. A light, affordable speaker with a built in subwoofer, splash resistance, microSD playback, and stereo pairing. At 1.2 lbs (557 g) it weighs much less than the Tronsmart Force Max at 5.6 lbs (2.54 kg). It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the Tronsmart Force Max. The catch: A little hollow sounding.
The Tronsmart Force Max is the tougher pick. A waterproof party speaker that spreads sound in all directions, with power bank charging and plenty of playback options. It is rated IPX6 against IPX4 for the DOSS Soundbox XL. It has an adjustable EQ, which the DOSS Soundbox XL lacks. The catch: Sonido Pesado found the Tronsmart Halo 100 clearly better, with clearer mids and highs.
Buy the DOSS Soundbox XL. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Tronsmart Force Max and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
