Short answer: the Tribit Stormbox 2 if sound quality matters most, the Philips TAS3150 if price matters most. The Tribit Stormbox 2 ranks #104 of 176 medium speakers, rated 3.0/5, at $69.99. The Philips TAS3150 ranks #138, rated 2.6/5, at $30, $39.99 cheaper.
The Tribit Stormbox 2 is the better-sounding option. A light, waterproof everyday speaker with a long rated battery and an Xbass mode that fills out the low end. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Philips TAS3150 lacks. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Philips TAS3150 lacks. Watch for: Drivers on the side, so it will have a rolled off treble listening to it face on.
What the Philips TAS3150 does well: A cylindrical waterproof speaker with RGB lights, aux, USB and microSD playback, and stereo pairing. The tradeoff: In Lcn Sound Tech’s listening test the midrange dominated, treble stayed muted until about 70% volume, and the bass was dry and punchy rather than deep.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox 2 if sound quality is the priority over the price, or the Philips TAS3150 if the price is the priority over sound quality.
