Short answer: the Tribit Xsound Plus 2. It ranks #36 of 177 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 3.9/5, at $69.99; the LG Xboom Grab ranks #106, rated 3.0/5, and costs $100.98, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
The Tribit Xsound Plus 2 is the better-sounding, deeper-bass pick. An affordable waterproof stereo speaker with long battery life and an app EQ that can tune it to sound well balanced. Its bass reaches about 55Hz before falling 10dB, against 75Hz for the LG Xboom Grab. It keeps a wired aux input, which the LG Xboom Grab lacks. It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the LG Xboom Grab. The tradeoff: Boosted treble, boosted bass in the factory EQs.
Why pick the LG Xboom Grab: A rugged waterproof speaker with elastic mounting straps, a long 20 hour battery, multipoint pairing and app room calibration. It links with other speakers (Auracast), which the Tribit Xsound Plus 2 cannot. The tradeoff: Bass extension not as deep as the top speakers.
Buy the Tribit Xsound Plus 2. It is rated higher for sound quality than the LG Xboom Grab and costs less, which makes it the one to get unless you need something the other one does better.
