Short answer: the Onn Large Party gen 2, since the Sony GTK-XB72 is discontinued with uneven tuning either way. The GTK-XB72 adds ClearAudio+ processing and a LIVE SOUND 3D mode with FM radio and app control, but our notes describe no deep bass at all, a weird midrange peak and rolled-off treble. The Onn costs far less with karaoke mic and guitar inputs, FM radio and wheels, though Consumer Reports found its own bass boomy and treble smeared.
