Short answer: the Stormbox Micro 2, clearly. These rank #32 and #1 out of 62 small portable speakers, at $22.99 and $35.39, and Tribit’s own step-up model is the far better-reviewed of the two.
The Stormbox Micro 2 is our own pick for best-in-class sound in this size. Our notes call it very neutral with much deeper bass than most speakers its size - a real step above the entry-level PocketGo, whose bass fullness comes at the cost of overall polish and whose frequency response is less refined.
The PocketGo answers with price, battery, and durability. It costs a fraction of the Stormbox Micro 2, runs longer on a charge (20 hours against 12), and edges it slightly on paper with an IP68 rating against IP67. The Stormbox Micro 2’s own weak point is finicky USB-C phone charging that our notes say usually doesn’t work - not an issue on the PocketGo, which doesn’t offer power-bank output at all.
Buy the Stormbox Micro 2 if sound quality is the priority - it’s genuinely one of the better speakers in this size class. Buy the PocketGo if you want something disposable-cheap with longer battery life and don’t need the extra polish.
