Different classes, so treat this as a step-up-or-not question rather than a head-to-head. The Tronsmart Halo 200 ranks #75 of 112 boombox speakers by sound quality at $169.99; the Tronsmart Halo 260 ranks #28 of 51 party speakers by sound quality at $249.99.
The Tronsmart Halo 200 is the lighter option. A three-way party speaker with dynamic lighting, an 18 hour battery and broadcast linking for many speakers. At 13.4 lbs (6.1 kg) it weighs noticeably less than the Tronsmart Halo 260 at 21.1 lbs (9.58 kg). The tradeoff: Not as deep bass as some of the top ranked.
Why pick 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. Watch for: 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 200 at $169.99 if you want a boombox speaker. Buy the Tronsmart Halo 260 at $249.99 if you want a party speaker instead.
