Short answer: neither Turtlebox stands out, but the Grande is the more capable of the two. The G2 offers a 100 hour battery at low to moderate volume and ranks near the bottom of the boombox class here. The Grande adds a bigger 158Wh battery for about three days of playback and an IP67 submersible shell, but the claimed 126dB does not hold up and it has barely any bass for a 10-inch woofer. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 113 boombox speakers, and the Tribit Stormbox Blast, ranked #2 at $199.99, is a better place to start if sound quality matters. The Turtlebox Gen 2 is discontinued; its replacement is the Turtlebox Gen 3.
Buy the Turtlebox Grande. It is rated higher for sound quality; the Turtlebox Gen 2 is no longer sold new.
