Short answer: the Treblab HD77. It ranks #77 of 135 medium speakers by sound quality at $59.67; the Tribit Stormbox 2 ranks #80 and costs $70, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
What the Treblab HD77 offers: Supports TWS pairing with a second HD77 for wider stereo sound. Watch for: Lacking quite a bit of bass compared to higher ranked speakers.
What the Tribit Stormbox 2 offers: A little better sounding than the Stormbox 1, less of a rolled off treble. Watch for: Drivers on the side, so it will have a rolled off treble listening to it face on.
Buy the Treblab HD77. It ranks higher for sound quality than the Tribit Stormbox 2 and costs less, so there is no real case for the other one.

Pros: A little better sounding than the Stormbox 1, less of a rolled off treble. Keep Xbass on for best frequency response.
