Short answer: the Ultimate Ears Everboom. It ranks #34 of 126 large speakers by sound quality, rated 3.9/5, at $149.99. The Tronsmart Bang 2 ranks #56, rated 3.6/5, at $109.99, $40 cheaper, which does not close the gap in sound quality.
The Ultimate Ears Everboom is the lighter option. A light, waterproof speaker that plays in every direction, with warm sound, a long battery and linking with many speakers. At 2.1 lbs (949 g) it weighs much less than the Tronsmart Bang 2 at 5.8 lbs (2.63 kg). The catch: Careful placement and volume setting remain important for balanced sound.
The Tronsmart Bang 2 is the longer-running choice. A loud party speaker whose bass holds up at high volume, with water resistance, a long battery, app EQ and a shoulder strap. It is rated for 26 hours of battery against 20 for the Ultimate Ears Everboom. The tradeoff: Verdicts against the Soundcore Boom 2 and the Tribit Stormbox Lava were split: Dominik Reviews preferred the Soundcore Boom 2, and several listeners found the Bang 2’s mids muffled and its highs subdued without custom EQ.
Buy the Ultimate Ears Everboom. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $40 saving on the Tronsmart Bang 2 is not enough to make up the difference.
