Which should you buy?
The Boom 2 Plus is the clear pick on raw spec strength, leading by 9.8 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.
The Tufton doesn't pull ahead on any single popular-comparison spec — its strengths sit in the spec table groups rather than the headline advantages.
Pick the Boom 2 Plus if you care most about output power and low-end response. Its strongest claims are output power, low-end response, water resistance.
Both ship with comparable battery, stereo pairing, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: the Boom 2 Plus is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
