Short answer: the Tribit Stormbox Blast, which matches far pricier bass for less than half the money. Its bass is almost as deep as a JBL Partybox 100 and it gets a genuinely neutral tuning with Oluv’s or Alan Ross’s EQ, though it lacks a bit of detail compared to the top-ranked speakers in other size classes. The Turtlebox Gen 3 has a recognizable rugged design but ranks near the bottom of the boombox class here.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox Blast. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Turtlebox Gen 3 and costs less, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.
