Tribit Stormbox Blast 2: $279.99 Amazon eBay

Pros: Pretty deep bass. Measured bass extension of 40Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Sounds quite muddy with the boosted lower and upper bass. Boosted treble around 6kHz. Xbass mode makes it sound even more muddy. Nowhere near as neutral and balanced as the first Blast and a big downgrade unless you only care about max volume

Setup: Try the EQ from Alan Ross at this timestamp of his video

Zealot ZE41: $259.90 Amazon Aliexpress eBay

Pros: The absolute best value for the bass performance, play time and max volume in the boombox class.

Cons: The heaviest and biggest boombox speaker around. A little rolled off up top and not that balanced through the rest of the range. Clarity isn’t as good as better speakers. Bass EQ is bloated and muddy sounding.
