Short answer: the Teufel Rockster Air 2 for off-axis consistency, the Onn Large Party gen 2 for a fraction of the cost. The Rockster Air 2’s single horn-loaded compression driver gives more consistent off-axis sound and cleaner separation at volume than rivals like the JBL Partybox 130, with a 58-hour battery, though bass doesn’t reach as deep and there is no app or EQ. The Onn costs far less with its own karaoke mic and guitar inputs and wheels, though Consumer Reports found its bass boomy and treble smeared.
