Short answer: the Stormbox Blast, and it isn’t close. It ranks #2 of 112 boombox speakers at $199.99; the Mix 2.0 ranks #94 at $219.99, $20 less for a dramatically weaker result.
The Mix 2.0’s own cons say it plainly: it doesn’t compete well with speakers of the same size class. Not much deep bass, a boosted upper bass that thuds rather than extends, rolled-off treble, and midrange that recedes rather than carries vocals.
Its feature list is genuinely solid on paper. IP67 waterproofing that floats, NFC pairing, a 100-foot Bluetooth range, and a built-in phone charger are all real conveniences. None of it is what the Stormbox Blast is winning on, which is the actual sound.
Buy the Stormbox Blast. At nearly the same price, there’s no measured reason to choose the Mix 2.0 over it.
If battery life is a priority, the Tribit Stormbox Blast is rated for 30 hours versus 20 hours for the Altec Lansing Mix 2.0.
