Short answer: the Minirig 4 for better sound quality, the Tribit Xsound Go for the lower price. The Minirig 4 ranks #7 of 177 medium speakers, rated 4.3/5, at $229.95. The Tribit Xsound Go ranks #101, rated 3.1/5, at $34.99, $194.96 cheaper.
The Minirig 4 is the better-sounding, deeper-bass choice. A small, long lasting speaker that gets loud and can add a matching subwoofer, with a 30 hour battery. Its bass reaches about 56Hz before falling 10dB, against 83Hz for the Tribit Xsound Go. Alan Ross Reviews measured it at 106dB at full volume, against 98dB for the Tribit Xsound Go. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Tribit Xsound Go lacks. Watch for: Calls itself splash resistant and has no official water rating.
The Tribit Xsound Go is the lighter, tougher option. A very light, inexpensive waterproof stereo speaker with long battery life for travel and casual listening. At 0.8 lbs (380 g) it weighs noticeably less than the Minirig 4 at 1.2 lbs (550 g). It is rated IPX7 against Splash resistant for the Minirig 4. It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the Minirig 4. Watch for: Lacking quite a bit of bass compared to bigger speakers.
Buy the Minirig 4 if sound quality is the priority over the price, or the Tribit Xsound Go if the price is the priority over sound quality.
