Short answer: the Sony ULT Tower 7. It ranks #1 of 51 party speakers by sound quality, rated 4.7/5, at $548. The Onn XL Wireless Party Speaker ranks #11, rated 4.1/5, at $249, $299 cheaper, a saving that is not big enough to make up the sound-quality gap.
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. The tradeoff: Sound favors punch and a forward/bright top end over refinement.
The Sony ULT Tower 7 is the better-sounding, longer-running pick. A big, loud party speaker on wheels with punchy bass, a 30 hour battery, 360 degree sound and inputs for mics and instruments. It is rated for 30 hours of battery against 16 for the Onn XL Wireless Party Speaker. The catch: The reviewer notes that Auracast pairing is not backward-compatible with Sony’s older Party Connect speakers, and the hard-plastic corners lack protective rubber bumpers.
Buy the Sony ULT Tower 7. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $299 with the Onn XL Wireless Party Speaker does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
