Soundcore Rave Party 2 vs Tribit Stormbox Blast (August 2026)

Short answer: the Stormbox Blast, and it isn’t a close call. The Blast ranks #2 of 71 boombox speakers at $199.99; the Rave Party 2 ranks #41 at $199.95, essentially the same price for a dramatically different result.

The Rave Party 2 doesn’t have a clear strength to point to. Our own pros entry for it is little more than a placeholder noting it may move around as better sound samples come in, while its cons flag a poor water rating and bass extension that doesn’t hold up.

The Blast earns its ranking with real numbers. Bass almost as deep as a JBL Partybox 100, a neutral default tuning, and a reviewer EQ that Tribit eventually adopted as the firmware default. None of that is matched here.

Buy the Stormbox Blast. At this price and in this class, there’s no real argument for the Rave Party 2 over it.

Tribit Stormbox Blast: $179.99 Amazon

Pros: Amazing speaker given its size, competes well with some speakers in the Party size class, bass almost as deep as a Partybox 100. Quite neutral in the default and xbass modes, but try Oluv’s EQ or Alan Ross’s EQ for a slightly more neutral sound. Oluv has mentioned v3.5 now uses his EQ as the defaults and sounds extremely good. 2 different light modes or can be turned off.

Cons: Lacks a bit of detail compared to the top ranked speakers in other size categories, dip at 5.5khz. Without the above EQ this speaker would rank around #4 in the rankings. The curved underside of the handle makes it a little harder to grip and can be uncomfortable to carry long distances.
