Short answer: the DBSONO X-Blast F37, though neither ranks well in its class. It ranks #118 of 182 medium speakers by sound quality (rated 2.8/5) at $69.99 and is still sold new; the Tribit Stormbox Mini ranks #154 (rated 2.4/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used. The Tribit Stormbox Mini’s replacement, the Tribit Stormbox Mini+, is rated 2.5/5 at $39.99. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 182 medium speakers, and the EarFun Uboom L, ranked #2 at $49.79, is a better place to start if sound quality matters.
The DBSONO X-Blast F37 is the better-sounding, deeper-bass choice. An affordable splash resistant speaker with a separate woofer and tweeter, long Bluetooth range and stereo pairing. Its bass reaches about 49Hz before falling 10dB, against 85Hz for the Tribit Stormbox Mini. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Tribit Stormbox Mini lacks. The catch: Very recessed lower mids, peaky upper mids, just not a great frequency response overall.
The Tribit Stormbox Mini is the longer-running, tougher option. A waterproof stereo speaker with RGB lighting and USB-C charging, now discontinued. It is rated for 12 hours of battery against 8 for the DBSONO X-Blast F37. It is rated IPX7 against IPX5 for the DBSONO X-Blast F37. It keeps a wired aux input, which the DBSONO X-Blast F37 lacks. The catch: Lacking quite a bit of bass.
Buy the DBSONO X-Blast F37. It is rated higher for sound quality; the Tribit Stormbox Mini is no longer sold new.
