Short answer: the Tribit Stormbox Mini+ for features, the Soundcore 2 for battery life. The Tribit is IPX7 waterproof with app EQ presets, AAC, TWS pairing, USB-C charging and a built-in mic for calls, but it is not a great sounding speaker with really weak bass. The Soundcore 2 runs 24+ hours from a 5200mAh cell, though its bass does not go as deep as others.
Buy the Soundcore 2. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Tribit Stormbox Mini+ and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
There is a real battery-life gap here: the Soundcore 2 is rated for 24 hours, the Tribit Stormbox Mini+ only 12 hours.
