Short answer: the Zealot ZE51. It ranks #16 of 113 boombox speakers by sound quality, rated 4.1/5, at $235.33. The Onn Pro X Large Boom Boombox ranks #49, rated 3.4/5, at $199, $36.33 cheaper, which does not close the gap in sound quality.
The Zealot ZE51 is the better-sounding pick. A big stereo boombox with clean, wide sound and low distortion at high volume for outdoor parties. The catch: The Zealot ZE41 still wins on raw bass depth and price.
The Onn Pro X Large Boom Boombox is the longer-running, lighter pick. A powerful, waterproof party boombox with a 20 hour battery and light modes at a low price. It is rated for 20 hours of battery against 4 for the Zealot ZE51. At 17.2 lbs (7.8 kg) it weighs noticeably less than the Zealot ZE51 at 26 lbs (11.81 kg). It is rated IP67 against IPX5 for the Zealot ZE51. Watch for: Bass not as deep as higher ranked speakers like the JBL Boombox 3, JBL Boombox 4, or Tribit Stormbox Blast.
Buy the Zealot ZE51. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $36.33 you would save on the Onn Pro X Large Boom Boombox does not close the gap.
