Short answer: the Beats Pill 2024. It ranks #78 of 179 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 3.3/5, at $99.95. The Tribit Stormbox Mini+ ranks #145, rated 2.5/5, at $39.99, $59.96 cheaper, which does not close the gap in sound quality.
The Beats Pill 2024 is the better-sounding, longer-running option. A compact waterproof speaker with long battery life, fast charging, a power bank port and stereo pairing. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 12 for the Tribit Stormbox Mini+. The tradeoff: Boosted upper bass, somewhat thuddy.
The Tribit Stormbox Mini+ is the lighter option. An inexpensive waterproof speaker packed with features, including app EQ, an aux input, microSD playback and stereo pairing. At 1.2 lbs (544 g) it weighs noticeably less than the Beats Pill 2024 at 1.5 lbs (680 g). 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: Not a great sounding speaker, really weak bass.
Buy the Beats Pill 2024. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $59.96 saving on the Tribit Stormbox Mini+ is not enough to make up the difference.
