Short answer: the Sony ULT Tower 7. It ranks #1 of 54 party speakers by sound quality, rated 4.7/5, at $648. The Tronsmart Halo 300 ranks #18, rated 3.9/5, at $349.99, $298.01 cheaper, not enough of a saving to outweigh the sound-quality gap.
The Sony ULT Tower 7 is the better-sounding, longer-running choice. 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 20 for the Tronsmart Halo 300. 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.
The Tronsmart Halo 300 is the lighter choice. A clean, clear sounding wheeled party speaker with good kick bass and mic, guitar and XLR inputs for karaoke or live use. At 30.9 lbs (14 kg) it weighs much less than the Sony ULT Tower 7 at 50.3 lbs (22.8 kg). Watch for: The W-King T12 reaches deeper with thicker bass.
Buy the Sony ULT Tower 7. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $298.01 with the Tronsmart Halo 300 does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
