Soundcore Anker 3
Score: 78/100
Tribit StormBox 2
Score: 81/100Rankings
The Tribit StormBox 2 is a cylindrical portable speaker delivering 40 W of 360° sound with IP67 durability and a built-in power-bank, offering up to 24 hours of playback. Its older Bluetooth version, heavyweight design, and absence of an aux input temper its appeal for users seeking the latest connectivity and ultra-light portability. Best suited for outdoor parties and users who need long battery life and ruggedness.
The Soundcore Anker 3 offers a lightweight design, 24-hour playback, and BassUp-enhanced bass in a waterproof IPX7 package. However, its modest 85 dB SPL and lack of app-based EQ limit its suitability for larger gatherings. Best suited for solo travelers and shower use.

Professional reviewers commend the Soundcore 2 for its ultra-portable form factor, long 24-hour battery life, and robust IPX7 waterproofing, making it ideal for outdoor personal listening. However, they criticize its limited loudness, modest bass extension, and absence of app-based EQ, suggesting it is better suited for solo use rather than group gatherings.
Everyday users overwhelmingly value the speaker's endurance, waterproof durability, and surprisingly punchy bass given its size, often rating it near-perfect for travel and daily use. Recurring complaints focus on insufficient volume for parties, occasional Bluetooth dropouts, and a basic build compared with newer models.
Professional reviewers view the StormBox Pro as a well-balanced portable speaker that combines strong bass, 360° coverage, and rugged durability, though they wish it offered an auxiliary input and a more current Bluetooth version.
Consumers generally praise the long battery life, waterproof construction, and the convenience of the built-in power bank, while recurring concerns focus on its weight and the missing driver detail information.
