Short answer: the Tribit Stormbox 2. It ranks #104 of 179 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 3.0/5, at $69.99; the DBSONO X-Blast F37 ranks #117, rated 2.8/5, at $69.99. With prices this close, go by the sound-quality ranking rather than the cost.
The Tribit Stormbox 2 is the longer-running, lighter option. A light, waterproof everyday speaker with a long rated battery and an Xbass mode that fills out the low end. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 8 for the DBSONO X-Blast F37. At 1.3 lbs (593 g) it weighs noticeably less than the DBSONO X-Blast F37 at 1.7 lbs (771 g). It is rated IPX7 against IPX5 for the DBSONO X-Blast F37. The catch: Drivers on the side, so it will have a rolled off treble listening to it face on.
The case for the DBSONO X-Blast F37: An affordable splash resistant speaker with a separate woofer and tweeter, long Bluetooth range and stereo pairing. Watch for: Very recessed lower mids, peaky upper mids, just not a great frequency response overall.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox 2. It is rated higher for sound quality than the DBSONO X-Blast F37 at the same price, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.
