Short answer: the Tronsmart Trip 2. It ranks #26 of 63 small speakers by sound quality, rated 3.3/5, at $19.99; the JBL Go 4 ranks #30, rated 3.2/5, and costs $49.95, which makes this an easy call rather than a real tradeoff.
The Tronsmart Trip 2 is the longer-running choice. A cheap, pocketable waterproof speaker with a long battery, a lanyard, app EQ, and microSD playback. It is rated for 20 hours of battery against 7 for the JBL Go 4. Watch for: Beautiful Zar DJ found the JBL Go 4 warmer with weightier bass, while the Trip 2’s bass is dry and thin, and some listeners found its treble exaggerated.
The JBL Go 4 is the lighter pick. A pocket sized waterproof mini speaker with a loop for hanging and app EQ. At 0.4 lbs (190 g) it weighs much less than the Tronsmart Trip 2 at 0.7 lbs (340 g). Watch for: Not much bass at all, especially with electronic/bass-heavy tracks pushed past ~50% volume.
Buy the Tronsmart Trip 2. It is rated higher for sound quality than the JBL Go 4 and costs less, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.
