Different classes, so treat this as a step-up-or-not question rather than a head-to-head. The Onn XL Wireless Party Speaker ranks #11 of 53 party speakers by sound quality at $249; the Turtlebox Gen 3 ranks #105 of 113 boombox speakers by sound quality at $430.
The case for 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. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Turtlebox Gen 3 lacks. The tradeoff: Sound favors punch and a forward/bright top end over refinement.
The Turtlebox Gen 3 is the longer-running, lighter pick. A loud, waterproof and crushproof outdoor speaker with a big battery, device charging and party mode linking. It is rated for 25 hours of battery against 16 for the Onn XL Wireless Party Speaker. At 10 lbs (4.54 kg) it weighs much less than the Onn XL Wireless Party Speaker at 44 lbs (19.96 kg). It is rated IP67 against IPX4 for the Onn XL Wireless Party Speaker. The catch: Sounds basically identical to the original and the Turtlebox Gen 2: each generation mainly added features, not sound quality.
Buy the Onn XL Wireless Party Speaker at $249 if you want a party speaker. Buy the Turtlebox Gen 3 at $430 if you want a boombox speaker instead.
