Short answer: the Tronsmart Trip 2. It ranks #26 of 63 small speakers by sound quality, rated 3.3/5, at $19.99; the Xiaomi Sound Pocket ranks #61, rated 2.3/5, and costs $20.99, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
The Tronsmart Trip 2 is the better-sounding, 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 10 for the Xiaomi Sound Pocket. 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 Xiaomi Sound Pocket is the lighter option. A truly pocketable, very cheap waterproof speaker with USB-C charging and stereo pairing, fine for hotel rooms and travel. At 0.4 lbs (200 g) it weighs much less than the Tronsmart Trip 2 at 0.7 lbs (340 g). The tradeoff: Its 5W driver has little real bass, and vocals can become harsh as volume rises beyond roughly 80%.
Buy the Tronsmart Trip 2. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Xiaomi Sound Pocket and costs less, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.
