Short answer: the Soundcore Boom 2. It ranks #10 of 126 large speakers by sound quality, rated 4.5/5, at $99.99; the Tronsmart Force Max ranks #91, rated 3.0/5, and costs $119.99, so there is little reason to consider the other one.
The Soundcore Boom 2 is the better-sounding, longer-running pick. A light, waterproof large speaker with deep bass for its size, a 24 hour battery and fun lighting. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 13 for the Tronsmart Force Max. At 3.7 lbs (1.68 kg) it weighs noticeably less than the Tronsmart Force Max at 5.6 lbs (2.54 kg). Watch for: Only a single midrange driver, so you only get stereo for the tweeters.
What the Tronsmart Force Max does well: A waterproof party speaker that spreads sound in all directions, with power bank charging and plenty of playback options. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Soundcore Boom 2 lacks. Watch for: Sonido Pesado found the Tronsmart Halo 100 clearly better, with clearer mids and highs.
Buy the Soundcore Boom 2. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Tronsmart Force Max and costs less, which makes it the one to get unless you need something the other one does better.
