Short answer: the Onn Medium Party Speaker Gen 2. It ranks #65 of 112 boombox speakers by sound quality, rated 3.1/5, at $90; the Marshall Tufton ranks #88, rated 2.4/5, and costs $474.95, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
The Onn Medium Party Speaker Gen 2 is the better-sounding, tougher option. An affordable waterproof party speaker with a big woofer, lights, a karaoke mic input and FM radio. It is rated IPX7 against IPX2 for the Marshall Tufton. It links with other speakers (Party Sync Mode), which the Marshall Tufton cannot. The catch: Lacking detail compared to the Onn Large Party gen 2 and not as deep of bass.
The case for the Marshall Tufton: A classic Marshall styled boombox with a long battery, quick charging and sturdy construction that spreads sound all around. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Onn Medium Party Speaker Gen 2 lacks. Watch for: Not much lower bass, upper bass boomy, boosted treble, not very balanced overall.
Buy the Onn Medium Party Speaker Gen 2. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Marshall Tufton and costs less, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.
