Different classes, so treat this as a step-up-or-not question rather than a head-to-head. The Tribit Stormbox Blast ranks #2 of 70 boombox speakers at $179.99; the W-King T9 Pro ranks #29 of 44 party speakers at $171.49.
What the Tribit Stormbox Blast gets right: Amazing speaker given its size, competes well with some speakers in the Party size class. The catch: Lacks a bit of detail compared to the top ranked speakers in other size categories, dip at 5.5khz.
On the W-King T9 Pro side: 250W peak power, 120dB sound output with dual 6.5” woofers + dual 2.5” tweeters. The tradeoff: Sounds warm, somewhat gritty, not as detailed as higher ranked speakers.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox Blast at $179.99 if you want a boombox speaker. Buy the W-King T9 Pro at $171.49 if you want a party speaker instead.

The Two Speakers In Full
Tribit Stormbox Blast: $179.99 Amazon
Pros: Amazing speaker given its size, competes well with some speakers in the Party size class, bass almost as deep as a Partybox 100. Quite neutral in the default and xbass modes, but try Oluv’s EQ or Alan Ross’s EQ for a slightly more neutral sound. Oluv has mentioned v3.5 now uses his EQ as the defaults and sounds extremely good. 2 different light modes or can be turned off.
Cons: Lacks a bit of detail compared to the top ranked speakers in other size categories, dip at 5.5khz. Without the above EQ this speaker would rank around #4 in the rankings. The curved underside of the handle makes it a little harder to grip and can be uncomfortable to carry long distances.
