Short answer: the Soundcore Mini 3 on value, the Stormbox Micro 3 for a little more depth. The Micro 3 goes a little deeper than the last one at $56.76, but its bass is thuddy and distorted by default and needs an EQ to fix. The Mini 3 costs $41 and has deeper bass than most speakers in its size, though it rolls off the highs.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox Micro 3. It is rated higher for sound quality; the Soundcore Mini 3 is no longer sold new.
Battery life favors the Tribit Stormbox Micro 3: rated for 24 hours against 15 hours for the Soundcore Mini 3.
