Short answer: the JBL Partybox 330. It ranks #2 of 43 party speakers by sound quality (rated 4.6/5); the Tronsmart Halo 300 ranks #17 (rated 3.9/5).
Why pick the JBL Partybox 330: A highly complete rolling party speaker: removable battery, telescoping handle and wheels, light show, Auracast, USB-C lossless and optical inputs, plus dual mic/guitar inputs. The tradeoff: 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 240W party speaker with a 2.2 channel three-way layout (dual woofers, mid-tweeters and tweeters) angled for a 270° soundstage. The catch: The W-King T12 reaches deeper with thicker bass.
Buy the JBL Partybox 330. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Tronsmart Halo 300.

Older models: the JBL Partybox Stage 320 (ranked lower, rated 4.6/5), the JBL Partybox 310 (ranked lower, rated 4.5/5) and the JBL Partybox 300 (ranked lower, rated 4.3/5).
Pros: A highly complete rolling party speaker: removable battery, telescoping handle and wheels, light show, Auracast, USB-C lossless and optical inputs, plus dual mic/guitar inputs. It supplies a little more power than the JBL Partybox 310 and JBL Partybox Stage 320, while reviewers report better midrange clarity than the older JBL Partybox 310 and the same deep party-speaker bass.
Cons: It remains very large and heavy, and the sound improvement over the JBL Partybox Stage 320 is modest rather than transformational. JBL removed the dedicated mic gain/control knobs found on earlier models, a real drawback for frequent karaoke use. Do not upgrade from a JBL Partybox 310 or JBL Partybox Stage 320 just for the higher watt figure.

Tronsmart Halo 300 eBay
Pros: A 240W party speaker with a 2.2 channel three-way layout (dual woofers, mid-tweeters and tweeters) angled for a 270° soundstage. Side by side with the W-King T12 it sounded cleaner and more accurate, with instruments and vocals easier to pick out and good kick bass, and listeners report no distortion at any volume. Wheels and a handle, mic, guitar and XLR inputs, lights and a claimed 20 hours of battery.
Cons: The W-King T12 reaches deeper with thicker bass. On battery the Halo’s bass holds back from what its woofers could do, though plugged into AC power it gains noticeably more. It is currently out of stock at Tronsmart in the US.
