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 Tribit Xsound Plus 2 ranks #36 of 179 medium speakers by sound quality at $64.99.
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 Tribit Xsound Plus 2 at 1.8 lbs (798 g). The catch: Bass is thuddy and distorted by default and needs EQ.
The Tribit Xsound Plus 2 is the louder, deeper-bass option. An affordable waterproof stereo speaker with long battery life and an app EQ that can tune it to sound well balanced. Its bass reaches about 55Hz before falling 10dB, against 62Hz for the Tribit Stormbox Micro 3. Alan Ross Reviews measured it at 99dB at full volume, against 93dB for the Tribit Stormbox Micro 3. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Tribit Stormbox Micro 3 lacks. The tradeoff: Boosted treble, boosted bass in the factory EQs.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox Micro 3 ($56.76) for a small speaker; the Tribit Xsound Plus 2 ($64.99) suits a medium speaker instead.
