Short answer: a tie on sound quality. Both are rated 3.3/5 (#26 and #25 of 63 small speakers) at nearly the same price ($19.99 vs $22.99), so choose on features and fit.
What the Tronsmart Trip 2 does well: A cheap, pocketable waterproof speaker with a long battery, a lanyard, app EQ, and microSD playback. 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 Soundcore Select 4 Go is the lighter choice. A very inexpensive waterproof mini speaker with a strap, a long battery, app EQ, and stereo pairing. At 0.6 lbs (265 g) it weighs noticeably less than the Tronsmart Trip 2 at 0.7 lbs (340 g). The tradeoff: Not as deep of bass as higher ranked speakers.
Buy the Tronsmart Trip 2 or the Soundcore Select 4 Go on features: they are rated the same for sound quality at close to the same price.
