Short answer: the Beats Pill 2024 for better sound quality, the Tribit Xsound Go for the lower price. The Beats Pill 2024 ranks #78 of 177 medium speakers, rated 3.3/5, at $99.95. The Tribit Xsound Go ranks #101, rated 3.1/5, at $34.99, $64.96 cheaper.
The Beats Pill 2024 is the deeper-bass choice. A compact waterproof speaker with long battery life, fast charging, a power bank port and stereo pairing. Its bass reaches about 56Hz before falling 10dB, against 83Hz for the Tribit Xsound Go. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Tribit Xsound Go lacks. The catch: Boosted upper bass, somewhat thuddy.
The Tribit Xsound Go is the lighter pick. A very light, inexpensive waterproof stereo speaker with long battery life for travel and casual listening. At 0.8 lbs (380 g) it weighs much 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. Watch for: Lacking quite a bit of bass compared to bigger speakers.
Buy the Beats Pill 2024 when sound quality outweighs the price for you, and the Tribit Xsound Go when the price outweighs sound quality instead.
