Different classes, so treat this as a step-up-or-not question rather than a head-to-head. The Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 ranks #1 of 62 small speakers by sound quality at $35.39; the Tribit Xsound Plus 2 ranks #36 of 179 medium speakers by sound quality at $64.99.
The Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 is the lighter pick. 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 Tribit Xsound Plus 2 at 1.8 lbs (798 g). The tradeoff: Finicky phone charging, which doesn’t usually work.
The Tribit Xsound Plus 2 is the louder, deeper-bass choice. An affordable waterproof stereo speaker with long battery life and an app EQ that can tune it to sound well balanced. Its bass reaches about 55Hz before falling 10dB, against 65Hz for the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2. Alan Ross Reviews measured it at 99dB at full volume, against 94dB for the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 12 for the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2. The catch: Boosted treble, boosted bass in the factory EQs.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 at $35.39 for a small speaker, or the Tribit Xsound Plus 2 at $64.99 for a medium speaker instead.
