Short answer: the Minirig Mini 2 for an even balance, the Tribit Stormbox Micro 3 for a bit more bass. The Mini 2 is very neutral, though it calls itself splash resistant with no official water rating. The Micro 3 goes a little deeper than the previous model but sounds thuddy and distorted by default and needs an EQ, and it costs $43.24 less.
Buy the Minirig Mini 2. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $43.24 saving on the Tribit Stormbox Micro 3 is not enough to make up the difference.
There is a real battery-life gap here: the Tribit Stormbox Micro 3 is rated for 24 hours, the Minirig Mini 2 only 12 hours.
There is a real gap in water resistance: the Tribit Stormbox Micro 3 at IP68 (extended submersion) against the Minirig Mini 2, which has Splash resistant (splashing).
