Short answer: the Tronsmart Trip 2. It ranks #26 of 63 small speakers by sound quality, rated 3.3/5, at $19.99; the Tribit PocketGo ranks #32, rated 3.2/5, and costs $22.99, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
The case for the Tronsmart Trip 2: A cheap, pocketable waterproof speaker with a long battery, a lanyard, app EQ, and microSD playback. The tradeoff: 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 Tribit PocketGo is the lighter pick. A very cheap pocket speaker with a long battery, app EQ, and a loop so it can stand, hang, or lie flat. At 0.5 lbs (220 g) it weighs noticeably less than the Tronsmart Trip 2 at 0.7 lbs (340 g). It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Tronsmart Trip 2 lacks. Watch for: Battery life isn’t the biggest for this speaker class. JBL Go 5 has better build quality plus lightshow, Auracast, and AirTouch.
Buy the Tronsmart Trip 2. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Tribit PocketGo and costs less, which makes it the one to get unless you need something the other one does better.
