Short answer: the Dayton Audio Boost, because the Tribit gives up too much sound quality. The Dayton’s compact soda-can body includes dual passive radiators, IPX5 water resistance, wireless stereo pairing and MicroSD support, with only some midrange peaks and slightly rolled-off treble. The Tribit Stormbox Mini+ adds IPX7, app EQ and USB-C, but it is not a great sounding speaker and its bass is really weak.
What the Dayton Audio Boost gets right: Compact soda-can design, dual passive radiators, IPX5 waterproof, wireless stereo pairing capability, MicroSD card support. The tradeoff: Some midrange peaks, treble slightly rolled off.
On the Tribit Stormbox Mini+ side: IPX7 waterproof, app support with EQ presets and AAC codec, true wireless stereo (TWS) capability, USB-C charging, built-in mic for calls. The catch: Not a great sounding speaker, really weak bass.
Buy the Dayton Audio Boost if the price is the priority over sound quality, or the Tribit Stormbox Mini+ if sound quality is the priority over the price.
Skip both if sound quality is the priority. There are better options higher up the 142 medium speakers.
Battery life favors the Tribit Stormbox Mini+: rated for 12 hours against 6 hours for the Dayton Audio Boost.
