Different classes, so treat this as a step-up-or-not question rather than a head-to-head. The Tribit Stormbox Blast ranks #2 of 113 boombox speakers by sound quality at $199.99; the W-King T12 ranks #22 of 53 party speakers by sound quality at $379.99.
The Tribit Stormbox Blast is the lighter, tougher pick. A boombox with bass and volume that rival bigger party speakers, quite neutral sound, and a 30 hour battery. At 12 lbs (5.45 kg) it weighs much less than the W-King T12 at 33.1 lbs (15 kg). It is rated IPX7, while the W-King T12 has no water resistance. The tradeoff: Lacks a bit of detail compared to the top ranked speakers in other size categories, dip at 5.5kHz.
What the W-King T12 does well: A large wheeled karaoke party speaker with dual 8 inch woofers, bass and treble knobs, and a long battery for big outdoor events. It has a microphone input for karaoke or announcements, which the Tribit Stormbox Blast lacks. The catch: Reviewer comparisons find the tuning boxy and less clear than the better-ranked party speakers, so its size and quoted power do not automatically translate to refined sound.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox Blast ($199.99) for a boombox speaker; the W-King T12 ($379.99) suits a party speaker instead.
