Short answer: the Soundboks 4 only for extreme max volume, the Onn Large Party gen 2 for a small fraction of the price. The Soundboks 4’s removable 40-hour battery and high-efficiency drivers make it tied for the loudest battery speaker here, though it is very large, not stereo, and not as neutral or deep-bassed as the JBL Partybox lineup. The Onn costs a small fraction of the price with karaoke mic and guitar inputs and wheels of its own, though Consumer Reports found its bass boomy and treble smeared.
