Short answer: the Zealot ZE41 for value, the Tribit Stormbox Blast for a box you can move. The ZE41 is called the absolute best value in the boombox class for bass performance, play time and max volume, but it is the heaviest and biggest boombox speaker around. The Blast is amazing for its size and competes with some Party-size speakers, though it dips at 5.5kHz and gives up a little detail.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox Blast. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Zealot ZE41 and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
There is a real battery-life gap here: the Tribit Stormbox Blast is rated for 30 hours, the Zealot ZE41 only 4 hours.
