Our Verdict

Tribit Stormbox Micro 2

Bose SoundLink Micro (2nd Gen)

The Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 and the Bose SoundLink Micro (2nd Gen) are very similar-looking small speakers. They're both highly portable and designed to withstand the elements, although the Bose has a slightly higher IP68 rating, meaning it can withstand deeper submersion in water. The Bose also puts out a bit more bass, but the Tribit gets a touch louder and lasts about an hour longer off a single charge. The Tribit is the only one with a built-in mic for voice assistant support, which might be the decisive factor for some.
