Short answer: the Soundcore Rave 3S. It ranks #19 of 51 party speakers by sound quality (rated 3.8/5) at $299.99 and is still sold new; the Sharp PS-929 ranks #42 (rated 2.5/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used. The Sharp PS-929’s replacement, the Sharp XParty Sing PS-931, is rated 2.5/5 at $160.
The Soundcore Rave 3S is the better-sounding, tougher pick. A big party speaker with two wireless microphones, a remote, and a vocal removal feature for karaoke nights. It is rated IPX4, while the Sharp PS-929 has no water resistance. It links with other speakers (Auracast), which the Sharp PS-929 cannot. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Sharp PS-929 lacks. Watch for: Some upper bass and upper mids boost.
What the Sharp PS-929 does well: A battery party speaker with two woofers, a Super Bass button, lights, mic and guitar inputs, and a wired mic included. It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the Soundcore Rave 3S. Watch for: Bass extension is only about 60Hz at -10dB, so it lacks deep bass.
Buy the Soundcore Rave 3S. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the Sharp PS-929 is discontinued, so it is only available used.
