Short answer: the Onn XL Wireless Party Speaker. It ranks #11 of 53 party speakers by sound quality, rated 4.1/5, at $249; the Sony SRS-XV500 ranks #16, rated 4.0/5, and costs $315.99, which makes this an easy call rather than a real tradeoff.
Why pick the Onn XL Wireless Party Speaker: A loud wheeled karaoke party speaker with punchy bass, two included wireless mics, and guitar inputs at a reasonable price. Watch for: Sound favors punch and a forward/bright top end over refinement.
The Sony SRS-XV500 is the longer-running, lighter option. A slightly warm party speaker with plenty of bass punch that gets very loud outdoors, plus karaoke inputs and a long battery. It is rated for 25 hours of battery against 16 for the Onn XL Wireless Party Speaker. At 24.7 lbs (11.2 kg) it weighs much less than the Onn XL Wireless Party Speaker at 44 lbs (19.96 kg). Watch for: RTINGS measured poor directivity, so the sound changes noticeably as you move off to the sides.
Buy the Onn XL Wireless Party Speaker. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Sony SRS-XV500 and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
