Short answer: the Tronsmart Halo 200, though neither ranks well in its class. Both are rated 2.8/5 for sound quality (#72 and #74 of 98 boombox speakers), and the Tronsmart Halo 200 costs $169.99 against $219 for the Monster Bambox, and with sound quality even, the cheaper one is the better buy. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 98 boombox speakers; for better sound, the Tribit Stormbox Blast ranks #2 at $199.99.
The Monster Bambox is the longer-running, tougher choice. Rated for up to 48 hours from a long life LiFePO4 battery, with IP67 waterproof and dustproof rugged housing, Auracast linking, a 30 watt USB-C charge out, a microphone input, app controlled EQ presets and 256 RGB lights. It is rated for 48 hours of battery against 18 for the Tronsmart Halo 200. It is rated IP67 against IPX4 for the Tronsmart Halo 200. It links with other speakers (Auracast), which the Tronsmart Halo 200 cannot. The catch: No measurements or reviews, so its rating is estimated, and the 300 watt figure is peak power (100 watts RMS).
What the Tronsmart Halo 200 does well: 15,000mAh battery rated 18 hours; charges in 3.5 hours. The catch: Not as deep bass as some of the top ranked.
Buy the Tronsmart Halo 200. Both are rated the same for sound quality, and it costs $49.01 less than the Monster Bambox.
About the ratings: the Monster Bambox’s rating is estimated from measured siblings and predecessors rather than its own measurements, with a likely range of 2.4 to 3.2, so this verdict could change once it is measured.
