Short answer: the ZZA K8 if price is everything, the Zealot ZE41 for the fuller package. The K8 is completely insane value for the money, but its very V-shaped frequency response can be harsh in the treble. The ZE41 is $219.95 against the K8’s $40 and still the absolute best value for bass performance, play time and max volume, at the cost of being the heaviest and biggest boombox around.
Buy the Zealot ZE41. It is rated higher for sound quality and still sold new, while the ZZA K8 is discontinued.
