Short answer: the Tribit Stormbox Blast. It ranks #2 of 112 boombox speakers by sound quality, rated 4.5/5, at $179.99; the B&O Beolit 20 ranks #48, rated 3.4/5, and costs $749, which makes this an easy call rather than a real tradeoff.
The Tribit Stormbox Blast is the better-sounding, longer-running choice. A boombox with bass and volume that rival bigger party speakers, quite neutral sound, and a 30 hour battery. It is rated for 30 hours of battery against 8 for the B&O Beolit 20. It is rated IPX7 against IPX4 for the B&O Beolit 20. It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the B&O Beolit 20. The catch: Lacks a bit of detail compared to the top ranked speakers in other size categories, dip at 5.5kHz.
The B&O Beolit 20 is the lighter option. A premium designer portable with 360 degree sound and a top that doubles as a wireless phone charger. At 6 lbs (2.7 kg) it weighs much less than the Tribit Stormbox Blast at 12 lbs (5.45 kg).
Buy the Tribit Stormbox Blast. It is rated higher for sound quality than the B&O Beolit 20 and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
