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 Xiaomi Sound Party ranks #20 of 179 medium speakers by sound quality at $135.84.
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 Xiaomi Sound Party at 2.6 lbs (1.2 kg). The tradeoff: Finicky phone charging, which doesn’t usually work.
The Xiaomi Sound Party is the louder, deeper-bass choice. A versatile outdoor speaker with warm, balanced sound, fully waterproof build, long battery life, a phone charging port and a handy retractable handle. Its bass reaches about 54Hz before falling 10dB, against 65Hz for the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2. Alan Ross Reviews measured it at 102dB at full volume, against 94dB for the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2. It is rated for 26 hours of battery against 12 for the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2. The tradeoff: The sound evidence is mixed rather than universally glowing.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 at $35.39 for a small speaker, or the Xiaomi Sound Party at $135.84 for a medium speaker instead.
