Short answer: pick by priority, the Zealot ZE41 for value, the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2 for deep bass in a smaller box. The ZE41 is called the absolute best value for bass performance, play time and max volume in the boombox class, but it is the heaviest and biggest boombox around. The Blast 2 goes pretty deep yet sounds quite muddy from its boosted lower and upper bass.
Buy the Zealot ZE41. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2 and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
If battery life is a priority, the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2 is rated for 30 hours versus 4 hours for the Zealot ZE41.
