Short answer: the Tronsmart Bang Max. Both are rated 3.4/5 for sound quality (#52 and #48 of 112 boombox speakers), and the Tronsmart Bang Max costs $229.99 against $749 for the B&O Beolit 20, so with nothing between them on sound quality, price settles it.
The Tronsmart Bang Max is the deeper-bass, longer-running option. A loud, feature packed party speaker with big bass, app EQ, lights, and separate mic and guitar inputs. Its bass reaches about 39Hz before falling 10dB, against 45Hz for the B&O Beolit 20. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 8 for the B&O Beolit 20. It is rated IPX6 against IPX4 for the B&O Beolit 20. The tradeoff: Its bass-first tuning prioritizes impact over accuracy: upper mids and lower treble can sound unnatural, while fine midrange and treble detail are limited.
The B&O Beolit 20 is the lighter pick. A premium designer portable with 360 degree sound and a top that doubles as a wireless phone charger. At 6 lbs (2.7 kg) it weighs much less than the Tronsmart Bang Max at 12.8 lbs (5.8 kg).
Buy the Tronsmart Bang Max. Both are rated the same for sound quality, and it costs $519.01 less than the B&O Beolit 20.
