Short answer: the JBL Partybox Stage 320. It ranks #3 of 51 party speakers by sound quality (rated 4.6/5) at $499.95 and is still sold new; the Onn Large Party gen 1 ranks #38 (rated 2.7/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used. The Onn Large Party gen 1’s replacement, the Onn Large Party gen 2, is rated 3.9/5 at $129.
The JBL Partybox Stage 320 is the better-sounding, longer-running pick. An excellent sounding party speaker, with deep bass that holds up at high volume, wheels, a removable battery and mic inputs. It is rated for 18 hours of battery against 13 for the Onn Large Party gen 1. It is rated IPX4, while the Onn Large Party gen 1 has no water resistance. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Onn Large Party gen 1 lacks. The tradeoff: Slightly sibilant in the treble at full blast.
The Onn Large Party gen 1 is the lighter choice. A rolling party speaker with FM radio, a mic and guitar input, lights, and phone charging for casual outdoor parties. At 23.1 lbs (10.5 kg) it weighs noticeably less than the JBL Partybox Stage 320 at 36.4 lbs (16.5 kg). The tradeoff: Sound is not a strong reason to seek one out.
Buy the JBL Partybox Stage 320. It is rated higher for sound quality; the Onn Large Party gen 1 is no longer sold new.
