Different classes, so treat this as a step-up-or-not question rather than a head-to-head. The Tronsmart Halo 210 ranks #35 of 112 boombox speakers by sound quality at $179.99; the Tronsmart Halo 260 ranks #28 of 51 party speakers by sound quality at $249.99.
The Tronsmart Halo 210 is the lighter choice. A mid-size party speaker with deep, chest-thumping bass and a lot of output for its size. At 14.4 lbs (6.54 kg) it weighs noticeably less than the Tronsmart Halo 260 at 21.1 lbs (9.58 kg). The tradeoff: The tweeter turns harsh and piercing above about 80% volume, especially in the Sound Pulse mode, and the JBL Boombox 4 sounded better at 50 to 90% volume.
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. The catch: 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 210 at $179.99 for a boombox speaker, or the Tronsmart Halo 260 at $249.99 for a party speaker instead.
