Short answer: the Soundcore Rave+ for reported sound quality, the Onn Large Party gen 2 for price and karaoke inputs. The Rave+ adds a custom EQ the original Rave lacked, with battery life our notes say exceeds the JBL Partybox 100 and customers praising its clarity and bass response, though it still has a pretty big lack of deep bass. The Onn costs less with physical karaoke mic and guitar inputs, though Consumer Reports found its own bass boomy and treble smeared with no app or EQ.
