Short answer: the JBL Partybox Club 120. It ranks #6 of 54 party speakers by sound quality, rated 4.5/5, at $399.95. The Tronsmart Halo 300 ranks #18, rated 3.9/5, at $349.99, $49.96 cheaper, which does not close the gap in sound quality.
The JBL Partybox Club 120 is the better-sounding, lighter choice. A party speaker on wheels with quite neutral sound, a removable battery, and mic and guitar inputs. At 23.8 lbs (10.8 kg) it weighs noticeably less than the Tronsmart Halo 300 at 30.9 lbs (14 kg). Watch for: High price, and JBL’s wired daisy chain only works with other JBL speakers.
The Tronsmart Halo 300 is the longer-running choice. A clean, clear sounding wheeled party speaker with good kick bass and mic, guitar and XLR inputs for karaoke or live use. It is rated for 20 hours of battery against 12 for the JBL Partybox Club 120. The catch: The W-King T12 reaches deeper with thicker bass.
Buy the JBL Partybox Club 120. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $49.96 with the Tronsmart Halo 300 does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
