Short answer: the Tronsmart Halo 300. It ranks #18 of 53 party speakers by sound quality, rated 3.9/5, at $349.99; the W-King T12 ranks #22, rated 3.8/5, and costs $379.99, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
The Tronsmart Halo 300 sounded cleaner and more accurate side by side. Its three-way system with separate woofers, mids and tweeters kept things clear at 75 to 100 percent volume, where the W-King T12 can get slightly muddy because its woofers also play the mids.
The T12 is the stronger bass machine, reaching lower with a thicker, more powerful sound. The Halo’s bass holds back on battery, but plugged into AC power in a rematch it gained a lot more, while keeping its easily separated instruments and vocals.
Both have wheels, mic inputs and lights. The Halo adds guitar and XLR inputs; the reviewer’s suggestion for the best of both was to pair them.
Buy the Tronsmart Halo 300. It is rated higher for sound quality than the W-King T12 and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
If water resistance matters to you, the Tronsmart Halo 300 at IPX4 (splashing) holds up far better than the W-King T12 at no water resistance.
