Short answer: the Beats Pill 2024. It ranks #78 of 177 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 3.3/5, at $99.95. The Tribit Stormbox 2 ranks #104, rated 3.0/5, at $69.99, $29.96 cheaper, not enough of a saving to outweigh the sound-quality gap.
The case for the Beats Pill 2024: A compact waterproof speaker with long battery life, fast charging, a power bank port and stereo pairing. Watch for: Boosted upper bass, somewhat thuddy.
The case for the Tribit Stormbox 2: A light, waterproof everyday speaker with a long rated battery and an Xbass mode that fills out the low end. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Beats Pill 2024 lacks. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Beats Pill 2024 lacks. The catch: Drivers on the side, so it will have a rolled off treble listening to it face on.
Buy the Beats Pill 2024. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $29.96 saving on the Tribit Stormbox 2 is not enough to make up the difference.
