Short answer: the Onn XL Wireless Party Speaker. It ranks #11 of 49 party speakers by sound quality (rated 4.1/5) at $249 and is still sold new; the Panasonic SC-TMAX5 ranks #40 (rated 2.5/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used.
The Onn XL Wireless Party Speaker is the better-sounding, battery-powered pick. A compelling all-in-one party and karaoke package: dual 8-inch woofers, 240W claimed output, two included wireless microphones, dual mic/guitar inputs, karaoke effects and USB-A phone charging. Its battery is rated for 16 hours, while the Panasonic SC-TMAX5 needs an outlet. It is rated IPX4, while the Panasonic SC-TMAX5 has no water resistance. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Panasonic SC-TMAX5 lacks. Watch for: Sound favors punch and a forward/bright top end over refinement.
The Panasonic SC-TMAX5 is the lighter choice. Ac-powered operation and stereo playback make its feature set practical for its intended room or portable use. At 14.3 lbs (6.5 kg) it weighs much less than the Onn XL Wireless Party Speaker at 44 lbs (19.96 kg).
Buy the Onn XL Wireless Party Speaker. It is rated higher for sound quality and still sold new, while the Panasonic SC-TMAX5 is discontinued.
