Our Verdict

Tribit StormBox Blast

Klipsch Groove XXL

The Tribit StormBox Blast is better than the Klipsch Groove XXL. The Tribit is a slightly larger speaker with built-in RGB lights, which you can customize in their companion app. Unlike the Klipsch, the Tribit's sound is customizable, too, thanks to its graphic EQ and presets. It has a longer-lasting battery life as well.
