Short answer: the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2. It ranks #1 of 63 small speakers by sound quality, rated 4.5/5, at $35.39. The Tronsmart Trip 2 ranks #26, rated 3.3/5, at $19.99, $15.40 cheaper, which does not close the gap in sound quality.
The Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 is the better-sounding option. An excellent sounding small speaker, with surprisingly deep bass for its size and a strap that holds it on a bike or backpack. Watch for: Finicky phone charging, which doesn’t usually work.
The Tronsmart Trip 2 is the longer-running option. A cheap, pocketable waterproof speaker with a long battery, a lanyard, app EQ, and microSD playback. It is rated for 20 hours of battery against 12 for the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2. Watch for: Beautiful Zar DJ found the JBL Go 4 warmer with weightier bass, while the Trip 2’s bass is dry and thin, and some listeners found its treble exaggerated.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $15.40 with the Tronsmart Trip 2 does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
