Short answer: the Tribit Xsound Go ranks #78 of 136 medium speakers by sound quality at $31.99; the Soundcore 2 ranks #81 at $29.99. Close enough in price that the sound-quality gap is the deciding factor.
The case for the Tribit Xsound Go: Well balanced sound. The tradeoff: Lacking quite a bit of bass compared to bigger speakers.
What the Soundcore 2 gets right: 24+ hour battery life from a 5200mAh cell. The catch: Bass doesn’t go as deep as others.
Buy the Tribit Xsound Go if sound quality matters more than the price. Buy the Soundcore 2 if the price matters more than sound quality.
