Short answer: the LG Xboom Stage 301 for karaoke features, the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2 for bass. The Stage 301’s wedge design works as a karaoke hub with a removable, replaceable battery, multiple standing positions and Dual-Bar lighting, but it is overpriced and doesn’t have the greatest frequency response. The Blast 2 reaches pretty deep bass yet sounds quite muddy from its boosted lower and upper bass.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $50 saving on the LG Xboom Stage 301 is not enough to make up the difference.
There is a real battery-life gap here: the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2 is rated for 30 hours, the LG Xboom Stage 301 only 12 hours.
If water resistance matters to you, the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2 at IP67 (brief submersion) holds up far better than the LG Xboom Stage 301 at IPX4 (splashing).
