Short answer: the Soundcore Rave Neo 2. It ranks #21 of 120 large speakers by sound quality, rated 4.2/5, at $84.99; the Tronsmart Halo 100 ranks #75, rated 3.2/5, and costs $109.99, so there is little reason to consider the other one.
The Soundcore Rave Neo 2 is the better-sounding, deeper-bass choice. An affordable waterproof party speaker with loud output, solid bass, a long battery, lights and linking with many speakers. Its bass reaches about 44Hz before falling 10dB, against 49Hz for the Tronsmart Halo 100. Alan Ross Reviews measured it at 107dB at full volume, against 104dB for the Tronsmart Halo 100. It links with other speakers (PartyCast 2.0 up to 100 speakers), which the Tronsmart Halo 100 cannot. Watch for: Slight treble rolloff.
The Tronsmart Halo 100 is the lighter pick. A loud, affordable outdoor party speaker with RGB lights, water resistance, and a USB port to charge phones. At 6 lbs (2.72 kg) it weighs noticeably less than the Soundcore Rave Neo 2 at 7.9 lbs (3.6 kg). Watch for: Not a very smooth frequency response.
Buy the Soundcore Rave Neo 2. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Tronsmart Halo 100 and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
