These are not really the same size class, and that is the honest framing here. The Tribit Stormbox Blast ranks #2 of 113 boombox speakers by sound quality at $199.99; the Soundcore Rave 3S ranks #20 of 53 party speakers by sound quality at $299.99.
The Tribit Stormbox Blast is the longer-running, lighter option. 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 12 for the Soundcore Rave 3S. At 12 lbs (5.45 kg) it weighs much less than the Soundcore Rave 3S at 21.6 lbs (9.8 kg). It is rated IPX7 against IPX4 for the Soundcore Rave 3S. Watch for: Lacks a bit of detail compared to the top ranked speakers in other size categories, dip at 5.5kHz.
What the Soundcore Rave 3S does well: A big party speaker with two wireless microphones, a remote, and a vocal removal feature for karaoke nights. It has a microphone input for karaoke or announcements, which the Tribit Stormbox Blast lacks. It links with other speakers (Auracast), which the Tribit Stormbox Blast cannot. Watch for: Some upper bass and upper mids boost.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox Blast ($199.99) for a boombox speaker; the Soundcore Rave 3S ($299.99) suits a party speaker instead.
