Short answer: the Zealot S95. It ranks #37 of 112 boombox speakers by sound quality, rated 3.7/5, at $157.41; the Tronsmart Bang Max ranks #52, rated 3.4/5, and costs $229.99, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
The Zealot S95 is the better-sounding option. An affordable stereo boombox with water resistance, a power bank output and linking for up to 100 speakers. It links with other speakers (PartyAdd up to 100 speakers), which the Tronsmart Bang Max cannot. The catch: A little rolled off up top and not that balanced through the rest of the range.
The Tronsmart Bang Max is the deeper-bass, longer-running pick. A loud, feature packed party speaker with big bass, app EQ, lights, and separate mic and guitar inputs. Its bass reaches about 39Hz before falling 10dB, against 45Hz for the Zealot S95. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 12 for the Zealot S95. The catch: Its bass-first tuning prioritizes impact over accuracy: upper mids and lower treble can sound unnatural, while fine midrange and treble detail are limited.
Buy the Zealot S95. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Tronsmart Bang Max and costs less, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.
