Short answer: the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2. It ranks #31 of 112 boombox speakers by sound quality, rated 3.8/5, at $279.99. The Yeahbox Sonic Boom Max 3 ranks #59, rated 3.2/5, at $228.99, $51 cheaper, which does not close the gap in sound quality.
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. The catch: Sounds quite muddy with the boosted lower and upper bass.
Why pick the Yeahbox Sonic Boom Max 3: A large party speaker with powerful bass, a big fast charging battery and app EQ for outdoor parties. Watch for: There is limited independent testing and the water/dust rating is reported inconsistently across listings.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $51 saving on the Yeahbox Sonic Boom Max 3 is not enough to make up the difference.
