Different classes, so treat this as a step-up-or-not question rather than a head-to-head. The Tronsmart Halo 100 ranks #71 of 115 large speakers by sound quality at $109.99; the Tronsmart Halo 260 ranks #28 of 51 party speakers by sound quality at $249.99.
The Tronsmart Halo 100 is the lighter, tougher option. A loud, affordable outdoor party speaker with RGB lights, water resistance, and a USB port to charge phones. At 6 lbs (2.72 kg) it weighs much less than the Tronsmart Halo 260 at 21.1 lbs (9.58 kg). It is rated IPX7 against IPX4 for the Tronsmart Halo 260. Watch for: Not a very smooth frequency response.
The case for the Tronsmart Halo 260: A large party speaker that holds its bass together at high volume, with a claimed 200W from two woofers and two tweeters, a removable battery rated up to 17 hours, two 6.35mm mic or guitar inputs with echo, an aux input and a USB power bank output. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Tronsmart Halo 100 lacks. The tradeoff: Two side by side tests preferred the Tronsmart Bang 2 Ultra, which sounded more balanced with deeper bass at 50 to 80% volume, while the Halo 260 has pronounced treble.
Buy the Tronsmart Halo 100 at $109.99 if you want a large speaker. Buy the Tronsmart Halo 260 at $249.99 if you want a party speaker instead.
