Tribit XSound Go Red
Score: 85/100
Soundcore Select 4 Go
Score: 79/100Rankings
The Tribit XSound Go (Red) offers 16 W of sound, a 24-hour battery, and app-controlled EQ for customizable audio. However, its bass depth is modest and real-world battery performance can be lower than the advertised claim. Ideal for users wanting a waterproof speaker with customizable sound on a budget.
The Soundcore Select 4 Go is an ultra-portable Bluetooth shower speaker offering up to 20 hours of playtime and IP67 waterproof, floatable protection. Its modest 5 W output limits maximum volume, and occasional Bluetooth hiccups can occur at the edge of its range. Ideal for solo swimmers, shower users, and travelers who value portability and durability.
