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 Monster Rockin’ Roller 270 ranks #104, rated 2.1/5, at $208.99, $71 cheaper, which does not close the gap in sound quality.
The Tribit Stormbox Blast 2 is the better-sounding, deeper-bass pick. 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 53Hz for the Monster Rockin’ Roller 270. At 19.2 lbs (8.7 kg) it weighs noticeably less than the Monster Rockin’ Roller 270 at 28.7 lbs (13 kg). It is rated IP67 against IPX4 for the Monster Rockin’ Roller 270. The catch: Sounds quite muddy with the boosted lower and upper bass.
The Monster Rockin’ Roller 270 is the longer-running option. A wheeled party speaker with an enormous battery, sound spread wide around it and a wireless phone charging pad. It is rated for 100 hours of battery against 30 for the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2. Watch for: Bass not as deep as competitors, less neutral than ION speakers.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $71 saving on the Monster Rockin’ Roller 270 is not enough to make up the difference.
