Different classes, so treat this as a step-up-or-not question rather than a head-to-head. The Tribit Stormbox Micro 3 ranks #6 of 62 small speakers by sound quality at $56.76; the Beats Pill 2024 ranks #78 of 179 medium speakers by sound quality at $99.95.
The Tribit Stormbox Micro 3 is the lighter choice. A tough strap on mini speaker with full waterproofing, a 24 hour battery and a power bank output. At 0.7 lbs (330 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. The catch: Bass is thuddy and distorted by default and needs EQ.
What the Beats Pill 2024 does well: A compact waterproof speaker with long battery life, fast charging, a power bank port and stereo pairing. The tradeoff: Boosted upper bass, somewhat thuddy.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox Micro 3 ($56.76) for a small speaker; the Beats Pill 2024 ($99.95) suits a medium speaker instead.
