Short answer: the Tribit Xsound Plus 2 for better sound quality, the Soundcore Motion 100 for the lower price. The Tribit Xsound Plus 2 ranks #32 of 136 medium speakers at $60. The Soundcore Motion 100 ranks #39 at $47, $13 cheaper.
What the Tribit Xsound Plus 2 gets right: Use this EQ for the best sound quality. The tradeoff: Boosted treble, boosted bass in the factory EQs. Peak at 320hz, dip at 500hz.
The case for the Soundcore Motion 100: Use Oluv’s EQ for the flattest response. The catch: Not very deep bass, slight distortion. Real-world battery falls well short of the 12-hour claim at higher volumes (closer to 4 hours at max).
