These are not really the same size class, and that is the honest framing here. The Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 ranks #1 of 62 small speakers by sound quality at $35.39; the Beats Pill 2024 ranks #78 of 179 medium speakers by sound quality at $99.95.
The Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 is the lighter choice. An excellent sounding small speaker, with surprisingly deep bass for its size and a strap that holds it on a bike or backpack. At 0.7 lbs (317 g) it weighs much less than the Beats Pill 2024 at 1.5 lbs (680 g). It has an adjustable EQ, which the Beats Pill 2024 lacks. Watch for: Finicky phone charging, which doesn’t usually work.
The Beats Pill 2024 is the deeper-bass, longer-running choice. A compact waterproof speaker with long battery life, fast charging, a power bank port and stereo pairing. Its bass reaches about 56Hz before falling 10dB, against 65Hz for the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 12 for the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 lacks. Watch for: Boosted upper bass, somewhat thuddy.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 at $35.39 for a small speaker, or the Beats Pill 2024 at $99.95 for a medium speaker instead.
