Short answer: the Tronsmart Halo 100. It ranks #79 of 126 large speakers by sound quality, rated 3.2/5, at $109.99; the Tronsmart Force Max ranks #91, rated 3.0/5, and costs $119.99, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
The Tronsmart Halo 100 is the longer-running pick. A loud, affordable outdoor party speaker with RGB lights, water resistance, and a USB port to charge phones. It is rated for 18 hours of battery against 13 for the Tronsmart Force Max. It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the Tronsmart Force Max. Watch for: Not a very smooth frequency response.
The case for the Tronsmart Force Max: A waterproof party speaker that spreads sound in all directions, with power bank charging and plenty of playback options. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Tronsmart Halo 100 lacks. Watch for: Sonido Pesado found the Tronsmart Halo 100 clearly better, with clearer mids and highs.
Buy the Tronsmart Halo 100. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Tronsmart Force Max and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
