Tribit StormBox 2 Bluetooth Speaker with 34W 360° Surround Sound, XBass Tech, 24H Playtime, IPX7 Waterproof, Bluetooth 5.3, TWS Pairing Portable Wireless Speaker for Outdoor

Met our expectations
Performed as expected…this one is a newer version of an older one we were using…we have it connected to our TV and find the sound is working to our satisfaction…we are in our 70’s so the hearing is dwindling and it is nice to have a speaker we can place closer to us….this speaker can be used in many locations ….sound is crisp and the clarity is 5 x 5 …after charging the battery seems to hold the charge…..we do think this speaker is a bit pricey.

Quality Speaker
You’ll rarely catch me writing a good review but I bought this speaker for camping and have been on the road with it for over a month. I’m also a DJ so I’m used to being picky about sound quality. This speaker has amazing sound quality and the battery life is great! It has loud bass and it’s very clear. Country music, dance music, rap, rock, this speaker can provide it all at a great quality. Honestly, it’s an absolute steal for the price! I often find myself using at half volume because it is loud! The only complaint is the screw on the strap comes undone regularly from being carried around and that’s why I am giving 4 stars instead of 5. I would personally recommend a button or something that isn’t twist off as when you are carrying it around, it naturally comes undone. Other than that, this costs much less than a JBL or other name brands all while providing the same great quality and battery life. If you’re looking into this speaker, jump on it and don’t look back!

Mixed Results; Bike Water Bottle Holder Friendly!
The good: The overall construction of the product is amazing. You can tell that it is very tough. I’ve rode my bike through the rain with this speaker on over an hour without any issues with performance, and it still looks brand new. The mesh cloth is very durable coming in and out of the water bottle cage and feels like it’ll last a long time. The product is very heavy which I regard as a positive in terms of durability.I like the simplicity of the controls. You can skip songs simply by double clicking the middle circle button so it’s easy to use while riding a bike without getting distracted. This was a definite advantage of this unit over others I looked at.The bad: Within just a few uses the strap that you use to pull the speaker in and out of position snapped off. It is held together by a very flimsy button. This part is critical for getting the speaker in and out of the side of your backpack, a bike, water bottle, cage or wherever else you use to store it and was one one of the key reasons why I bought the product.I wish they would have designed it with only one passive subwoofer portion coming out of the top. When you’re using the speaker outdoors, you lose a 50-60% of the bass unless the speaker is sitting on a perfectly hard surface, (This is a really poor design decision since speakers like these are mostly used outdoors while biking, hiking, going to the beach, etc. Where the speaker is often not used on a perfectly flat surface.). In contrast, when I bring the speaker indoors and use it on my office desk, the bass is overwhelming.A simple design change to include only one passive woofer on top would have resolved much ofthis issue and yielded a better quality product in my opinion.The audio is a little bit “tin-y” compared to a Cambridge angle speaker I purchased for about half the price and half the wattage from 3 or 4 years ago. But the bass performs better on this unit (indoors) and this works much better in a water bottle cage on a bicycle. It also has USB-C which my old speaker did not. If you’re like me and can’t stand carrying around two kinds of cables, USB-C is a must.Overall I would give this 3 and 1/2 stars. For the price I was expecting a little bit higher quality sound, but given how perfectly it fits onto my bike, I’m happy.

Big improvement over the first generation StormBox
My 6 year old original StormBox won’t take a charge so I decided to get a new one and the improvements made it worth the money. First off the new one has a USB-C charging port which is a huge improvement over the old micro USB port.Second the Bluetooth is the latest generation and pairing with an audio source is much improved. Third it’s more powerful. What’s not to love. Recommended.

I was inspired at a recent party after seeing the music was coming from a small speaker, something that I had disregarded as a real option for playing high quality sounding music in the home. This is because the cheap items I had experienced in the past never really impressed me but the market has massively moved on in recent years, with lots of quality brands making mini speakers for a range of uses and prices that had pretty much passed me by.I started by looking at the Bose SoundLink, the brand I had seen at the party, which was quite expensive. However, looking at the reviews online of many similar products, it became clear that I didn’t need to spend anything like as much and still get something just as good. There is a big difference in price, especially with some of the classic branded items, which all have great sound but are not night and day different or necessarily better than cheaper products. In fact, they sometimes lack the rich functionality and innovative thinking available from newer brands.The Tribit, for example, seems to hold its own against similar products three times the price. I had never even heard of the brand Tribit until I started researching but quickly focused in on the Stormbox 2 as a shortlist option. Before that I was very tempted by the Beats Pill, which seems to provide better quality sound than more expensive brands. In fact, I was about to purchase one but then realised the Stormobox 2 was half the price and for the same money as one Pill I could buy two Stormbox 2 units, link them and play them in stereo. No single speaker in the same product category is likely to outperform a stereo setup – you would have to spend considerably more money, and perhaps buy something from the next product category up.The speakers arrived within 24 hours, just in time for New Years Eve, and took me less than 5 minutes to unbox and setup. The sound and clarity is great and the stereo setup works really well. I listened to a single speaker first before linking the other, and this showed the improvement in sound when in stereo mode. This is a very cost effective and convenient alternative to having a full stereo setup with proper standalone stereo speakers, which no doubt will always be superior but takes up lots of space. Two of these Tribit mini speakers gives you more than enough stereo quality sound with decent bass in any room of the house. You can even take them outside, which I haven’t done yet.If you want outright volume and deep bass, you may need to spend more for something with a higher output but I have these in my kitchen and they easily fill the entire downstairs of the house. The build is very good quality and they appear strong and sturdy. I would have no reason to fear taking them outside or even being a bit heavy handed as they feel rugged. They came with 70% charge and I was able to play them all day long, late into the night and through the next day before the batteries went low and they needed their first charge.I downloaded the app to my phone when unboxing and before switching the first device on and have been impressed with how easy it is to use. The app may not be super advanced or win any awards but it does what it needs to do and I like that I am able to use its functions without logging in with an account – it just works as soon as you install it. I also like that you can have two smart phones linked to one speaker at the same time, so I can allow my son to use them too.All in all, this one impulse purchase has probably turned out to be the best of the holiday period. I took a bit of chance buying two at the same time, instead of trying one first and then maybe buying the second later if I liked it. However, I’m glad I took the plunge and just went all in, because they are really that good and I have zero reason to believe I made the wrong purchase or could have got something better for the money. No doubt someone will correct me on this in due course 🙂 all feedback welcome. They look great in the kitchen while remaining subtle and requiring hardly any space.I purchased two because they were on a deal, which made them a bit cheaper than the normal price. This meant buying two exactly matched the price of a single Beats Pill. That was my justification for getting two at the same time – man maths always wins 🙂 Filling the kitchen with music while I cook is a privilege that never gets old and is so easy to do now with decent quality but without bulky equipment. Tribit really has nailed it with this product in my opinion. For a brand I wasn’t even aware existed before researching the product category online, I must salute and thank Tribit for your excellent work.

Bardzo dobra jakość dźwięku, bateria dobrze trzyma, szybko się ładuje. Miałem poprzednia wersję – też byłem zadowlony. Bardzo ciekawa alternatywa dla droższych JBL.
