Short answer: the Zealot ZE21 for genuinely deep bass, the Onn Large Party gen 2 for the lower price and karaoke inputs. The ZE21 reaches an unusually deep 36Hz at -10dB for a battery boombox and supports TWS stereo pairing, but a pronounced 60-110Hz kick-bass dip and over-loud lower mids can make rock and pop sound hollow, and treble stays soft. The Onn gen 2 adds a handle, wheels, FM radio and karaoke inputs for less money, though Consumer Reports found boomy bass and smeared treble with no app or EQ to fix it.
