What the Tronsmart Bang Max does well: A loud, feature packed party speaker with big bass, app EQ, lights, and separate mic and guitar inputs. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Onn Medium Party Speaker Gen 2 lacks. It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the Onn Medium Party Speaker Gen 2. The catch: Its bass-first tuning prioritizes impact over accuracy: upper mids and lower treble can sound unnatural, while fine midrange and treble detail are limited.
