Short answer: the Tribit Stormbox Blast. It ranks #2 of 112 boombox speakers by sound quality, rated 4.5/5, at $179.99. The Onn Medium Party Speaker Gen 2 ranks #65, rated 3.1/5, at $90, $89.99 cheaper, not enough of a saving to outweigh the sound-quality gap.
The Tribit Stormbox Blast is the better-sounding, longer-running option. A boombox with bass and volume that rival bigger party speakers, quite neutral sound, and a 30 hour battery. It is rated for 30 hours of battery against 20 for the Onn Medium Party Speaker Gen 2. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Onn Medium Party Speaker Gen 2 lacks. It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the Onn Medium Party Speaker Gen 2. Watch for: Lacks a bit of detail compared to the top ranked speakers in other size categories, dip at 5.5kHz.
What the Onn Medium Party Speaker Gen 2 does well: An affordable waterproof party speaker with a big woofer, lights, a karaoke mic input and FM radio. It has a microphone input for karaoke or announcements, which the Tribit Stormbox Blast lacks. It links with other speakers (Party Sync Mode), which the Tribit Stormbox Blast cannot. The tradeoff: Lacking detail compared to the Onn Large Party gen 2 and not as deep of bass.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox Blast. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $89.99 saving on the Onn Medium Party Speaker Gen 2 is not enough to make up the difference.
