Short answer: the Tribit Stormbox Blast. It ranks #2 of 113 boombox speakers by sound quality, rated 4.5/5, at $199.99. The Tronsmart Halo 200 ranks #76, rated 2.8/5, at $169.99, $30 cheaper, not enough of a saving to outweigh the sound-quality gap.
The Tribit Stormbox Blast is the better-sounding, longer-running choice. 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 18 for the Tronsmart Halo 200. It is rated IPX7 against IPX4 for the Tronsmart Halo 200. Watch for: Lacks a bit of detail compared to the top ranked speakers in other size categories, dip at 5.5kHz.
The case for the Tronsmart Halo 200: A three-way party speaker with dynamic lighting, an 18 hour battery and broadcast linking for many speakers. It has a microphone input for karaoke or announcements, which the Tribit Stormbox Blast lacks. Watch for: Not as deep bass as some of the top ranked.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox Blast. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $30 saving on the Tronsmart Halo 200 is not enough to make up the difference.
