Short answer: the JBL Partybox 330. It ranks #2 of 54 party speakers by sound quality, rated 4.6/5, at $629.95. The Tronsmart Halo 300 ranks #18, rated 3.9/5, at $349.99, $279.96 cheaper, which does not close the gap in sound quality.
The JBL Partybox 330 is the better-sounding choice. A rolling party speaker with deep bass, a removable battery, a light show and inputs for mics and a guitar. The catch: It remains very large and heavy, and the sound improvement over the JBL Partybox Stage 320 is modest rather than transformational.
The case for the Tronsmart Halo 300: A clean, clear sounding wheeled party speaker with good kick bass and mic, guitar and XLR inputs for karaoke or live use. The catch: The W-King T12 reaches deeper with thicker bass.
Buy the JBL Partybox 330. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $279.96 saving on the Tronsmart Halo 300 is not enough to make up the difference.
