Short answer: the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2. It ranks #31 of 112 boombox speakers by sound quality (rated 3.8/5) at $279.99 and is still sold new; the Demerbox DB2 ranks #74 (rated 2.8/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used.
The Tribit Stormbox Blast 2 is the better-sounding pick. A big, waterproof party speaker with deep bass, very high volume, a 30 hour battery and two mic inputs. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Demerbox DB2 lacks. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Demerbox DB2 lacks. Watch for: Sounds quite muddy with the boosted lower and upper bass.
The Demerbox DB2 is the longer-running, lighter option. A nearly indestructible waterproof speaker built from a Pelican case, with a 40 hour battery and dry storage. It is rated for 40 hours of battery against 30 for the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2. At 5.4 lbs (2.47 kg) it weighs much less than the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2 at 19.2 lbs (8.7 kg). The tradeoff: Bass is not as deep as better speakers.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2. It is rated higher for sound quality; the Demerbox DB2 is no longer sold new.
