Short answer: the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2. The Micro 2 is best in class sound, though phone charging is finicky. The Xiaomi Sound Pocket offers 5W output, IP67 waterproofing, 10-hour battery life, a 0.4 lbs (200 g) design and Bluetooth 5.4 with TWS, but it is bass light, vocals get harsh above about 80% volume and it can walk across hard surfaces at higher volume.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $14.40 saving on the Xiaomi Sound Pocket is not enough to make up the difference.
