Short answer: the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2, #1 of 62, which the notes call best in class for sound. The original Micro is quite neutral but gets murky and slightly sharp near max volume. The Micro 2’s tradeoff is finicky phone charging that usually does not work. The Tribit Stormbox Micro is discontinued; its replacement is the Tribit Stormbox Micro 3.
