Short answer: the Tribit Stormbox Micro 3. It ranks #6 of 63 small speakers by sound quality, rated 4.2/5, at $56.76. The Tronsmart Trip 2 ranks #26, rated 3.3/5, at $19.99, $36.77 cheaper, not enough of a saving to outweigh the sound-quality gap.
The Tribit Stormbox Micro 3 is the better-sounding pick. A tough strap on mini speaker with full waterproofing, a 24 hour battery and a power bank output. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Tronsmart Trip 2 lacks. The tradeoff: Bass is thuddy and distorted by default and needs EQ.
The case for the Tronsmart Trip 2: A cheap, pocketable waterproof speaker with a long battery, a lanyard, app EQ, and microSD playback. The tradeoff: Beautiful Zar DJ found the JBL Go 4 warmer with weightier bass, while the Trip 2’s bass is dry and thin, and some listeners found its treble exaggerated.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox Micro 3. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $36.77 you would save on the Tronsmart Trip 2 does not close the gap.
