These sit in different size classes, so this is not a straight ranking comparison. The Tribit Stormbox Micro 3 ranks #6 of 62 small speakers by sound quality at $56.76; the Soundcore 2 ranks #105 of 179 medium speakers by sound quality at $29.99.
The case for the Tribit Stormbox Micro 3: A tough strap on mini speaker with full waterproofing, a 24 hour battery and a power bank output. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Soundcore 2 lacks. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Soundcore 2 lacks. It charges over USB-C rather than Micro USB. The tradeoff: Bass is thuddy and distorted by default and needs EQ.
What the Soundcore 2 does well: A cheap, light waterproof stereo speaker with a long rated battery, an aux input and pairing with a second unit. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Tribit Stormbox Micro 3 lacks. It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the Tribit Stormbox Micro 3. The catch: Bass is specified only down to 70Hz, so the low end is limited.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox Micro 3 at $56.76 for a small speaker, or the Soundcore 2 at $29.99 for a medium speaker instead.
