Short answer: the Yeahbox Sonic Boom Ultra. It ranks #11 of 112 boombox speakers by sound quality, rated 4.2/5, at $388; the Marshall Tufton ranks #88, rated 2.4/5, and costs $474.95, so there is little reason to consider the other one.
The Yeahbox Sonic Boom Ultra is the better-sounding, tougher choice. A massively loud boombox with deep bass, long battery life, and HDMI ARC so it can double as a TV soundbar. It is rated IPX6 against IPX2 for the Marshall Tufton. It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the Marshall Tufton. The tradeoff: The 500W peak-power rating doesn’t fully hold up: it gets noisy above roughly 80-90% volume, and the midrange isn’t fully refined, sometimes sitting a touch too forward.
The Marshall Tufton is the lighter choice. A classic Marshall styled boombox with a long battery, quick charging and sturdy construction that spreads sound all around. At 10.8 lbs (4.9 kg) it weighs much less than the Yeahbox Sonic Boom Ultra at 24.3 lbs (11 kg). The catch: Not much lower bass, upper bass boomy, boosted treble, not very balanced overall.
Buy the Yeahbox Sonic Boom Ultra. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Marshall Tufton and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
