Short answer: the LG Xboom Stage 301. It ranks #36 of 113 boombox speakers by sound quality, rated 3.7/5, at $229.99. The Tronsmart Halo 200 ranks #76, rated 2.8/5, at $169.99, $60 cheaper, which does not close the gap in sound quality.
The LG Xboom Stage 301 is the better-sounding option. A wedge shaped karaoke speaker with a swappable battery and multiple standing positions. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Tronsmart Halo 200 lacks. It links with other speakers (Auracast), which the Tronsmart Halo 200 cannot. The tradeoff: overpriced for what it is.
The Tronsmart Halo 200 is the longer-running option. A three-way party speaker with dynamic lighting, an 18 hour battery and broadcast linking for many speakers. It is rated for 18 hours of battery against 12 for the LG Xboom Stage 301. Watch for: Not as deep bass as some of the top ranked.
Buy the LG Xboom Stage 301. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $60 saving on the Tronsmart Halo 200 is not enough to make up the difference.
