Short answer: the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2. It ranks #31 of 113 boombox speakers by sound quality, rated 3.8/5, at $279.99. The Tronsmart Halo 200 ranks #76, rated 2.8/5, at $169.99, $110 cheaper, which does not close the gap in sound quality.
The Tribit Stormbox Blast 2 is the better-sounding, longer-running option. 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 18 for the Tronsmart Halo 200. It is rated IP67 against IPX4 for the Tronsmart Halo 200. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Tronsmart Halo 200 lacks. The catch: Sounds quite muddy with the boosted lower and upper bass.
The Tronsmart Halo 200 is the lighter choice. A three-way party speaker with dynamic lighting, an 18 hour battery and broadcast linking for many speakers. At 13.4 lbs (6.1 kg) it weighs noticeably less than the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2 at 19.2 lbs (8.7 kg). The tradeoff: Not as deep bass as some of the top ranked.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $110 you would save on the Tronsmart Halo 200 does not close the gap.
