Short answer: the Tronsmart Trip 2. It ranks #26 of 63 small speakers by sound quality, rated 3.3/5, at $19.99; the Sony SRS-XB100 ranks #43, rated 2.9/5, and costs $63, which makes this an easy call rather than a real tradeoff.
The Tronsmart Trip 2 is the better-sounding choice. A cheap, pocketable waterproof speaker with a long battery, a lanyard, app EQ, and microSD playback. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Sony SRS-XB100 lacks. The catch: 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.
What the Sony SRS-XB100 does well: A pocketable waterproof speaker with a long real world battery, a clip for bags, and stereo pairing. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Tronsmart Trip 2 lacks. The tradeoff: Not much bass.
Buy the Tronsmart Trip 2. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Sony SRS-XB100 and costs less, which makes it the one to get unless you need something the other one does better.
