Short answer: the JBL Partybox 330, if you are buying new. The JBL Partybox 310 ranks higher than the Tronsmart Halo 300 (#4 vs #18 of 54 party speakers) but is discontinued; its replacement, the JBL Partybox 330, is rated 4.6/5 at $629.95 and is still sold new.
The JBL Partybox 310 is the better-sounding pick. A top party speaker with remarkably deep bass and balanced sound, wheels and a handle, now discontinued but worth buying used. Watch for: It is very large, at 688 x 326 x 368mm and 37.5 lbs (17 kg), so it is a poor fit for small spaces or carrying far.
What the Tronsmart Halo 300 does well: A clean, clear sounding wheeled party speaker with good kick bass and mic, guitar and XLR inputs for karaoke or live use. The tradeoff: The W-King T12 reaches deeper with thicker bass.
Buy the JBL Partybox 330, the replacement for the discontinued JBL Partybox 310; it is rated higher for sound quality than the Tronsmart Halo 300.
