Short answer: the Zealot S95. It ranks #37 of 113 boombox speakers by sound quality, rated 3.7/5, at $157.41; the Tronsmart Halo 200 ranks #76, rated 2.8/5, and costs $169.99, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
The Zealot S95 is the better-sounding, tougher pick. An affordable stereo boombox with water resistance, a power bank output and linking for up to 100 speakers. It is rated IPX6 against IPX4 for the Tronsmart Halo 200. It links with other speakers (PartyAdd up to 100 speakers), which the Tronsmart Halo 200 cannot. The tradeoff: A little rolled off up top and not that balanced through the rest of the range.
The Tronsmart Halo 200 is the longer-running choice. A three-way party speaker with dynamic lighting, an 18 hour battery and broadcast linking for many speakers. It is rated for 18 hours of battery against 12 for the Zealot S95. The tradeoff: Not as deep bass as some of the top ranked.
Buy the Zealot S95. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Tronsmart Halo 200 and costs less, which makes it the one to get unless you need something the other one does better.
