Short answer: the Zealot ZE51. It ranks #16 of 113 boombox speakers by sound quality, rated 4.1/5, at $235.33. The Tronsmart Halo 200 ranks #76, rated 2.8/5, at $169.99, $65.34 cheaper, which does not close the gap in sound quality.
The Zealot ZE51 is the better-sounding choice. A big stereo boombox with clean, wide sound and low distortion at high volume for outdoor parties. The tradeoff: The Zealot ZE41 still wins on raw bass depth and price.
The Tronsmart Halo 200 is the longer-running, lighter option. 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 4 for the Zealot ZE51. At 13.4 lbs (6.1 kg) it weighs much less than the Zealot ZE51 at 26 lbs (11.81 kg). The catch: Not as deep bass as some of the top ranked.
Buy the Zealot ZE51. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $65.34 saving on the Tronsmart Halo 200 is not enough to make up the difference.
