Short answer: the Tribit Stormbox ranks #91 of 134 medium speakers at $68; the Tribit Stormbox 2 ranks #79 at $70. Close enough in price that the ranking gap is the deciding factor.
The case for the Tribit Stormbox: IPX7 water resistant, dual pairing for stereo setup, excellent battery life (20 hours), instant on/off buttons, 97dB max volume. The tradeoff: Muffled sounding, treble dips from 5khz-12khz.
What the Tribit Stormbox 2 gets right: A little better sounding than the Stormbox 1, less of a rolled off treble. The catch: Drivers on the side, so it will have a rolled off treble listening to it face on.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox if the price matters more than the ranking. Buy the Tribit Stormbox 2 if the ranking matters more than the price.

The Two Speakers In Full
Tribit Stormbox: $68 Amazon
Pros: IPX7 water resistant, dual pairing for stereo setup, excellent battery life (20 hours), instant on/off buttons, 97dB max volume
Cons: Muffled sounding, treble dips from 5khz-12khz. Listening from the front is the worst frequency response, lay it down facing up with xbass off for the smoothest response. Not technically a 360 speaker, only front and rear.
