Short answer: the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2 if sound quality matters most, the Onn Medium Party Speaker Gen 2 if price matters most. The Tribit Stormbox Blast 2 ranks #31 of 112 boombox speakers, rated 3.8/5, at $279.99. The Onn Medium Party Speaker Gen 2 ranks #65, rated 3.1/5, at $90, $189.99 cheaper.
The Tribit Stormbox Blast 2 is the better-sounding, longer-running pick. A big, waterproof party speaker with deep bass, very high volume, a 30 hour battery and two mic inputs. It is rated for 30 hours of battery against 20 for the Onn Medium Party Speaker Gen 2. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Onn Medium Party Speaker Gen 2 lacks. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Onn Medium Party Speaker Gen 2 lacks. Watch for: Sounds quite muddy with the boosted lower and upper bass.
The Onn Medium Party Speaker Gen 2 is the lighter option. An affordable waterproof party speaker with a big woofer, lights, a karaoke mic input and FM radio. At 11 lbs (5 kg) it weighs much less than the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2 at 19.2 lbs (8.7 kg). It links with other speakers (Party Sync Mode), which the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2 cannot. The catch: Lacking detail compared to the Onn Large Party gen 2 and not as deep of bass.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2 if sound quality is the priority over the price, or the Onn Medium Party Speaker Gen 2 if the price is the priority over sound quality.
