Short answer: the Onn Large Party gen 2 for the lower price and physical karaoke inputs, the Soundcore Rave for app-based karaoke. The Rave’s 20,000mAh battery claims 24 hours of play with AI-assisted karaoke that removes vocals in real time via the Soundcore app, plus included wireless microphones, though our notes describe a pretty big lack of deep bass and rolled-off treble. The Onn gen 2 costs less with wired karaoke mic and guitar inputs instead of an app-based feature, though Consumer Reports found its own bass boomy and treble smeared. The Soundcore Rave is discontinued; its replacement is the Soundcore Rave 3S.

Buy the Onn Large Party gen 2 for the lower price and physical karaoke inputs. Buy the Soundcore Rave if its included wireless mics and AI vocal-removal karaoke mode appeal to you more.

Water resistance is not close: the Onn Large Party gen 2 is rated at IPX4 (splashing), well ahead of the Soundcore Rave at no water resistance.
