Short answer: the JBL Boombox 4. It ranks #20 of 113 boombox speakers by sound quality, rated 4.0/5, at $549.95. The Hisense VoyageBoom ranks #66, rated 3.1/5, at $249.99, $299.96 cheaper, a saving that is not big enough to make up the sound-quality gap.
The case for the Hisense VoyageBoom: A big waterproof boombox with a 24 hour battery, a built in handle and a power bank. It keeps a wired aux input, which the JBL Boombox 4 lacks. It has a microphone input for karaoke or announcements, which the JBL Boombox 4 lacks. The catch: Jagist compared it directly with the Tronsmart Halo 210 and called it not close: bass fades above about 65 percent volume, mids take over and the woofer distorts near the top.
The JBL Boombox 4 is the better-sounding pick. An extremely loud boombox for its size with fully waterproof, dustproof build, a long battery and a flexible app EQ. The catch: Pretty overpriced for the category.
Buy the JBL Boombox 4. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $299.96 with the Hisense VoyageBoom does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
