Short answer: the Soundboks 2 for extreme output, the Onn Large Party gen 2 for a much lower price today. The Soundboks 2’s dual 10-inch woofers and silk-dome tweeter reach a claimed 124dB with a 40-hour removable battery plus aux, mic and guitar inputs, though at 33.1 lbs (15 kg) it lacks weather protection, an app or TWS pairing. The Onn costs far less with karaoke mic and guitar inputs and wheels of its own, though Consumer Reports found its bass boomy and treble smeared. The Soundboks 2 is discontinued; its replacement is the Soundboks 4.
