Short answer: the Tribit Xsound Plus 2. It ranks #36 of 177 medium speakers by sound quality (rated 3.9/5) at $69.99 and is still sold new; the Huawei Sound Joy ranks #40 (rated 3.8/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used. The Huawei Sound Joy’s replacement, the Huawei Sound Joy 2, is rated 3.5/5 at $154.73.
The case for the Tribit Xsound Plus 2: An affordable waterproof stereo speaker with long battery life and an app EQ that can tune it to sound well balanced. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Huawei Sound Joy lacks. It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the Huawei Sound Joy. Watch for: Boosted treble, boosted bass in the factory EQs.
What the Huawei Sound Joy does well: A waterproof speaker with a separate tweeter, long battery life and good loudness, with a Devialet mode for its best sound. Watch for: Boosted treble, not quite as deep of bass as a JBL Charge 5.
Buy the Tribit Xsound Plus 2. It is rated higher for sound quality and still sold new, while the Huawei Sound Joy is discontinued.
