Buying advice

Which should you buy?

The Boom 2 Plus is the clear pick on raw spec strength, leading by 32.4 points on the Mars Score. The margin is wide enough that the underdog only makes sense if its individual strengths line up with what you specifically need.

Both ship with comparable stereo pairing, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
