Short answer: the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2. It ranks #31 of 113 boombox speakers by sound quality, rated 3.8/5, at $279.99. The Gemini GRV-650L ranks #56, rated 3.3/5, at $149.95, $130.04 cheaper, which does not close the gap in sound quality.
The Tribit Stormbox Blast 2 is the better-sounding, deeper-bass choice. A big, waterproof party speaker with deep bass, very high volume, a 30 hour battery and two mic inputs. Its bass reaches about 40Hz before falling 10dB, against 47Hz for the Gemini GRV-650L. It is rated for 30 hours of battery against 9 for the Gemini GRV-650L. It is rated IP67 against IPX5 for the Gemini GRV-650L. Watch for: Sounds quite muddy with the boosted lower and upper bass.
What the Gemini GRV-650L does well: A great value party speaker with an included wireless mic, remote, FM radio and water resistance. The catch: Not quite as deep bass as the top ranked speakers.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $130.04 saving on the Gemini GRV-650L is not enough to make up the difference.
