Short answer: the Tribit Stormbox 2. It ranks #104 of 179 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 3.0/5, at $69.99. The Skullcandy Terrain ranks #169, rated 2.1/5, at $49.93, $20.06 cheaper, a saving that is not big enough to make up the sound-quality gap.
The Tribit Stormbox 2 is the better-sounding, longer-running choice. 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 14 for the Skullcandy Terrain. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Skullcandy Terrain lacks. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Skullcandy Terrain lacks. The catch: Drivers on the side, so it will have a rolled off treble listening to it face on.
The Skullcandy Terrain is the lighter choice. A waterproof speaker with a wrist wrap for carrying and pairing with other Skullcandy speakers. At 1 lbs (458 g) it weighs noticeably less than the Tribit Stormbox 2 at 1.3 lbs (593 g). It links with other speakers (SKDY Multi-Link, up to 99 speakers), which the Tribit Stormbox 2 cannot. Watch for: No bass, very rolled off treble.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox 2. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $20.06 saving on the Skullcandy Terrain is not enough to make up the difference.
