Tribit StormBox Micro 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker, 10W, 12H Playtime

It’s always hard to judge any sort of speaker/headphone just from reviews but as a professional audio engineer and music producer, I’d like to give my thoughts. I have always loved Bluetooth speakers and have owned a lot of small speakers over the years (JBL, Anker, Bose, Oontz, etc.). While this speaker might not fit your needs, I’ll explain what I use this speaker for and my thoughts on it after owning it for a year. SOUND QUALITY I have spent a LOT of time with this speaker, both inside and outside, and I am very impressed with it. At first I wasn’t in love with the sound, but I managed to make a few tweaks that really helped me be happy with the sound. The best sound I’ve been able to get is by going into the app and making sure it’s set to the “Music” EQ followed by going into Spotify and boosting 60hz all the way on the “Equalizer” option in settings. For the types of music I listen to (country, pop, indie, rap, R&B, etc), this gets a nice full sound. While it can get quite loud, it really shines at lower volumes. I never go full volume on it as I don’t feel that is the intended use for speakers of this size. MY DAILY USES I personally find myself bringing it paddle boarding, camping, hiking, in showers, to hang out with friends, to the beach, and more. It’s super lightweight and easy to bring with you anywhere. I’ve had this thing fully submerged in water, in sand, in dirt, and it still works just like new. At first I wasn’t in love with the strap that it has but I now prefer it to the typical loop straps that speakers have. It’s very easy to hook it to backpacks/bags, paddle boards, tents, a shower rod, bikes, tree branches, etc. and is very sturdy. OTHER NOTES One of my friends has this speaker as well and when paired together, these sound even better. The range isn’t amazing when they’re connected, but I’ve been able to paddle board with this person and have the speakers stay connected the whole time. Another thing, the battery life on this thing is great. I have used this for entire trips and not had to charge it. NEGATIVES For anything where you’ll need higher volume (ex. parties, basketball, any larger indoor/outdoor space, etc.) this probably isn’t the right speaker. While this speaker can get loud enough for these things, you’d ideally want a larger speaker so that you can get a fuller sound. Any speaker that is this size just won’t have much bass, especially at loud volumes, so that’s not something specific to this speaker. FINAL THOUGHTS Overall, I think this speaker is great for this price and the size. Audio and music is my life so I have very sensitive and trained ears when it comes to this stuff. If that’s not the case for you, the minor differences might not actually make up for the higher price of this speaker when comparing it to some of the others of this size. For me though, it was totally worth it and I love my Tribit and hopefully you will too.

The Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 has been greatly improved over the prior version and this is a class leader for small, portable, rugged, TWS speakers. Tribit has improved the sound clarity, soundscape, power in both volume and battery playtime, and better connection with BT 5.3. This newer version can even charge other electronic devices using it's USB port. The original Tribit Stormbox Micro was better than the Bose Soundlink Micro due to better base output, battery life and ruggedness at half the price of the Bose. If you bought the Bose, you wasted your money on a name and that's it. With the newer Tribit Stormbox Micro 2, the sound over the original is much clearer and louder due to an extra watt (10 versus 9 or 20 versus 18 if you have two paired as TWS which really showcases these micro speakers' performance.) The best way to describe the difference of the newer Micro 2 over the original is that the original Micro sounds a tad muffled on the high end. There is a noticeable crisper clarity with the Micro 2. The bass is also louder without being muddier. When playing them against each other (two TWS paired Micros vs two TWS paired Micro 2s,) its hard to believe the two pairs of speakers are not just from the same company, but from the same family (compared to Tribit's other offerings.) The improved sound is noticeable at most volumes, but more so when volume is at 40% on up.) The newer Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 speakers also work with Tribit’s app allowing you to customize the EQ setting. This definitely helps make the speakers shine even more and again, these speakers are a top notch improvement over the former model and the competitors just right out of the box. EQ adjustment is icing on the cake. If your budget can afford it, get two of the Micro 2 speakers. The Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 once paired remember each other and announce which is the left and which is the right channel speaker (it remains constant between them.) The TWS pairing process is a superior improvement over the prior model and listening to TWS with proper placement is so much more pleasurable than headphones or earbuds. Now add the additional performance of 12 hours of playtime vs. 8 of the original, better BT connection, and the charging function for relatively the same price and size (the Micro 2s are just a few MM thicker) and Tribit have hit a grand slam on this updated model. They did the same for their original GO speakers as well! Tribit is the best budget friendly speaker and headphone provider on the market. Well done Tribit! Well done!!!

I was having a hard time choosing between this, and Oontz angle 3 Pro, and a Doss Soundbox Pro. Im looking for something primarily for the house to be used in a bedroom/office. EVERY SINGLE ONE WAS A WINNER and I wouldnt hesitate to choose any of the 3. Sound quality was very very....VERY comparable with each one and pretty much a wash (explained below). I dont like letting my batteries drain so I cant vouch for battery life on each one, but im not worried. Below is why I would choose each model, hopefully it helps you. Also if it matters, I listened to Radiohead-The National Anthem and Skrillex-Rumble to test the speakers. --Why I would choose this speaker (Tribit Stormbox Micro 2): This one is the most travel friendly. Its the smallest and has a strap across the backside of it so you can easily attach it to a backpack, bike, UTV/ATV or any type of bar....the straps so tight to the body of the speaker that you can even put it on something as small as a car antenna and itd hold securely. Since the strap is snug to the body it stays secured. They dont list the wattage and this had the lowest wattage of the bunch at 10w compared to the other 2 at 20w/21w each.....but it was without a doubt equally as loud as the other two with trebles and bass being on par with the other two. Id really like to see how loud and clean a tribit with higher wattage sounds if this 10w speaker matched the higher wattage speakers I compared it to in my test. --Why I would choose the Oontz Angle 3 Pro instead: This one was the biggest and beefiest which I am a fan off....but I dont want you to think its a brick. its still plenty light where it wont feel like a burden lugging it around. This one also has a ocean/boat theme color pattern which is sweet and almost swayed me since i will be using this on my boat too. The other thing that almost swayed me was that the speaker can be used as a powerbank!!! So this ones sound is just as good as the other but the standout features are the looks, and the fact that it can be used as a powerbank which can come in very handy. Its not included but they have a bracket mount that clamps on to stuff.......not sure how it would hold up to movement and things like that but there is that option out there. These can also be paired with other Oontz speakers for a multi speaker set up. --Why I would choose the Doss Soundbox Pro: I hate to admit it but the price....and I actually chose this one over the Tribit and Oontz after my sound tests. The sound was on par with the other 2 (similar wattage to the Oontz) and I liked this one just a hair more than the Oontz because it was a little crisper sounding where the Oontz was a little fuller...if that makes sense. So with the sound being the same, the fact that I could ALSO pair multiple Doss speakers for a multi speaker set up just like the Oontz (this is a great feature for when entertaining guests/having a small party/get-together), and considering I'd primarily be using this in a bedroom (where the powerbank wouldnt come in as handy like the Oontz has).....I had to choose this one. I didnt realize it was the cheapest until I had finished testing all 3 and went back to the invoice. This is the best bang for your buck speaker of the 3 and im big on value....but dont mind spending either if the value is there.

Pros: Audio quality is good. Bluetooth pairing is seamless. I've been using this as a shower/bathroom speaker for almost a year and its speaker functions have held up fine. Con: I'm not sure what's going on with the battery/charge indicator. It holds a charge for a long time given my use of it (maybe 3-5 hrs a week), so I only have to charge it once a month ish, or maybe ~6 times total so far. Previously, charging had been about what I expected: It took several hours to fully recharge, but overnight was plenty to top it off even if it was mostly depleted. Yesterday I realized it had been a while since I charged it. Even though it was showing 3 dots (~50% charge), I decided to plug it in and leave it overnight. I used a charging cable that shows the current draw, and it indicated about 4A of current. When I checked in the morning, it still showed 3 dots with the 4th dot blinking, just like it did when I first plugged it in, and showed 2A of current draw I unplugged the cable and turned it on, and the charge indicator showed 3 LEDs. I turned it back off, gave it a few seconds, then plugged it back in, and it again showed 3 solid and the 4th blinking, and 2A draw. This was very different from my post charging experience with this speaker, but all indications were that it was still trying to charge, so I left it alone to continue charging during the day. I came back in the evening to find it still showing 3 solid with 4th blinking, but now 0A shown on the cable display. I unplugged the cable, waited a few seconds, and plugged it back in, and it showed 4 solid and 1 blinking, and still 0A draw. I unplugged it and turned it on, and it showed 5 solid LEDs. I decided to take the speaker off the charger and start using it again. So I'm not sure if the battery is degrading, or if the charge level meter is going screwy, or what's going on. If the speaker didn't have this bit of weirdness, I'd give it 5 stars.

Old 3 star Review- I got this to replace my clip 3 instead of the clip 4. My clip 3 randomly died after a year of light use so I wanted to try a different brand. I know the previous tribit had short battery issues. This one definitely lasts long off a full charge but it seems to be discharging itself. I'll shut it off with 3 bars battery and it'll be completely dead 3 days later with no use. Not cool. I'm outside the return window but definitely would have got the jbl instead. Update to 5 stars: Tribit customer support reached out to replace my current unit free of charge. I didn't email them or anything so that was just based off my previous review. They also did not request i change my review at anypoint they just wanted to correct the issue. Excellent customer service on their part and product support. I received the replacement and it was a returned speaker (non-functioning and clearly open). Not their fault amazon fulfillment orders do this alot (even though people blame the company). Amazon often just resells the returned items as new. I reached out again and they sent another speaker to the address on file. This one does not have the same issue with the battery draining while not in use. Each speaker got here in 2 days and they told me to dispose of the defective item so i didn't have to go to UPS and deal with all that. For the support of the company alone this speaker is worth it. They replaced it no problem with no inconvenience on my end. The speaker sounds great, the strap holds much better than i thought it would, and now that it doesn't drain the battery life is great. All in all i definitely recommend the Tribit knowing thee company stands behind it!! (all the email responses were within the same day too) And FYI i reached out to JBL (unlike i did with Tribit) because i was so stunned my clip 3 stopped working. I got a generic response that my message was received and no follow up (months later at the point of writing this)

Range is very good. Standard setup as Bluetooth Device. Excellent value for the money at $50. Sound is comparable to more expensive units, like Bose and JBL, but smaller. Looks like a square hockey puck. I bought one of the original StormBox units back in 2020. Worked all day mounted to a bicycle handlebar. Loud enough to hear while hitting tennis balls at a wall. I bought a few more of the version 2, which are improved. The battery of the first one wore out a couple years ago. It sat around for a couple years, then I took it apart just for curiosity. Pried the grating off with a butter knife. Removed six little Phillips screws, pulled the innards apart. There was a little blue Li-Ion battery, with three wires and a little white plastic connector. With a bent needle nose pliers I pulled the plastic connector off, pulled off the welded connectors from the + and - ends. Then I looked for a replacement for the battery, figuring I would need to solder the ends. Luckily, I spotted this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FDRX87BF?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title $16. A replacement battery that looked exactly like the original, with a 3-wire connector! I bought it, put it in, and it works! Still, the original StormBox doesn't have the Bluetooth range of the StormBox 2. So, I will use it as a speaker in my old car, powering it with USB alongside my phone. Good for long drives and my own music. The old StormBox finds a new role. Happy ending.

First let me give a shout-out to Flossy Carter - based on his YouTube review I purchased this small bluetooth speaker and it's a major win! If you require long battery life this has it - it is a battery BEAST (in a good way). I use this everyday while getting ready in the bathroom - shave and shower (and you know the rest) which takes me about 20-30 minutes in the morning (15 if I got to get out the door with a quickness) - I've had this since around May 17th and as I write this it's July 27th I've had to charge this ONCE - let me repeat ONE TIME. I don't know how long it took to charge but I know it wasn't anything like 20 minutes it was likely more than an hour. Watch the short video I've uploaded you can see the battery meter is on 3 out of 5 so I have several weeks left before it's next needed charge. Okay, so if you don't really care all that much about battery life (who doesn't have USB C cables laying around?) but want to know how this little bandit sounds - it sounds good, very good! I've paired it with my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ and either play Spotify or SiriusXM radio app on the speaker and the lows, mids and highs come in very nicely. Even if I paid double for what this goes for here on Amazon (I wouldn't because I'm pretty cheap) it would still be a good buy - for the listed price it's very hard to beat. I've had NO ISSUES (pairing, cutting out, dropped audio, etc.). I really can't comment on the app - when you first pair this to your device it acts as though you need to install the app - I suppose that if you have two of these you may need to but I'm a simpleton and don't have two of these so I deleted the app and it's worked perfectly. I've only had a couple phone calls taken on this and no complaints and the call audio was very clear if not a little too much bass. I run my EQ settings pretty much "flat" and it's my opinion that you don't need to compensate for lack of highs or lows with rock, talk, alternative, country or rap. If I had to find an issue with this it would only be (and it's very minor) that pressing the power button on the front of the speaker is a little difficult or takes a bit more force than I'd like - on the plus side you won't turn it off by accident. The cloth top isn't my favorite but it seems to be popular since "smart assistants" all seem to have gone to that type of material for their speaker grills - it doesn't look bad - hasn't really collected any dust or lint and probably would hold up to normal use for at least a few years. I'm tempted to buy another and "squirrel" it away incase this ever dies and I can't find it again but really I'd just watch another Flossy Carter review and go for an "upgrade".

I tested the Tribit StormBox Micro 2 side-by-side with the Bose SoundLink Micro (2nd Gen) and I ended up keeping the Tribit. I use during highway construction. Its loud enough. Sounds good indoors too. The rubber strap is good for the belt or bike. The Bose definitely sounds “nice” at first—smooth, balanced, and polished—but it also feels heavily processed. Everything sounds a bit compressed and controlled, like there’s a lot of DSP shaping the sound. Because of that, things like snare drums and transients don’t really cut through the mix the way they should. The Tribit, on the other hand, sounds more raw and alive. Snare hits in rock tracks actually crack and jump out at you instead of getting smoothed over. It feels less processed, with better dynamics and attack. The low end is also surprisingly strong for the size, without overpowering everything else. At the end of the day: Bose = smoother, more “polished” sound Tribit = more dynamic, punchy, and engaging For actual listening—especially rock—the Tribit just felt more natural and fun, so that’s the one I kept.

Owned it for I think two years now. I used to bring a big speaker with me for Moto camping and wanted something a bit smaller without compromising battery life/sound. This thing is absolutely perfect, sounds super loud (not even for its size, just in general) and tons of battery life. Fantastic.

Good quality and sound

Ich vergleiche hier den Micro 2 vor allem mit dem Micro 1, seinem Vorgänger also, den ich jahrelang hatte. Wir klären auch die Frage, warum er in den Bewertungen so gut abschneidet und was die Verbesserungen sind, um am hart umkämpften BT Lautsprecher Markt mithalten zu können. Nun, zunächst einmal ist er minimal größer als sein Vorgänger, 2mm zu jeder Seite, kaum zu vernehmen und wiegt 18gr mehr. Der Akku ist gewachsen. Statt 8 Std. Soll er nun 12 Stunden schaffen, zusätzlich hat er nun die Möglichkeit ein Smartphone z.B. aufzuladen und dient als Powerbank. Den hauptsächlichen Anteil am Gewichtszuwachs wird auch der Akku mit seiner höheren Kapazität ausmachen. Ein weiterer Vorteil ist, dass die Tasten im Vergleich zum Rot des Lautsprechers mit starken Kontrasten nun auch sehr gut optisch hervorstechen. Beim Vorgänger war es Ton in Ton. Zudem sind die Tasten mit einem deutlich besseren Druckpunkt versehen und lassen sich damit eindeutig besser nutzen. Ein weiterer großer Vorteil ist nun die App Unterstützung und die dadurch gegebene klangliche Anpassungsmöglichkeit. Natürlich nur in einem gewissen Rahmen, aber dazu später mehr. Zudem wurde die Aufladedauer von 3 Stunden und 30 Minuten auf 2 Stunden und 15 Minuten reduziert, was deutlich praxistauglicher ist. Zudem sind die gummierten Füßchen einfach nich mehr herausgestellt und sehen nun wirklich wie Füße aus. Die Neuen haben nun 10 Watt maximale Leistung, die Vorgänger haben 9 Watt. Die Tribit App ist schnell im Google Play gefunden und installiert. Die App findet die Lautsprecher dann auch schnell. Fast Pair von Google wird nicht unterstützt, aber sie lassen sich schnell im Bluetooth Menü koppeln und tauchen dann auch in der App auf. Das erste Update für die Firmware taucht auch schon auf. Die Installation dauert 5 Minuten inklusive automatischem Neustart 5 Minuten, geht fix und reibungslos. Es war von Version 1.1.4 auf 1.2.8. Wir haben nun die Möglichkeit den Lautsprecher umzubenennen, in kläglich mit Presets, zum Beispiel Rock, Hörbuch stimmenbetont, Party, Klassisch etc. einzustellen. Oder aber, Man kann den EQ selbst frei einstellen. Genauso, wie beim Soundcore Motion 300, der eine Klangänderung für den anderen Lautsprecher im z.B. gekoppelten TWS Modus übernimmt, ist es auch bei den Tribits. Das macht die Sache einfach und logisch. Immerhin hat man ganze 9 Bänder zur Verfügung. Eine ganz Menge also und ganz damit auch fein justieren. Der 15khz Regler bringt aber kaum Veränderung. Alle anderen haben aber einen guten Impact! Die Presets bewirken eine deutlich hörbare Veränderung und haben damit ihre Daseinsberechtigung. Des Weiteren kann man in der App die Box herunterfahren. TWS Modus fährt dann das Paar herunter. Sehr gut. Man kann die Töne und Klänge beim Koppeln alle einzeln ein- oder ausschalten. Dabei fiel mir auf das die Ansage im TWS Modus jetzt zeitgleich passiert. Was früher Left Channel und anschließend Right Channel war, ist jetzt RLEEghtft Channel, so sinngemäß. Aber es reicht ja wenn eine Box etwas von sich gibt, bei der anderen kann man ausstellen, im Grunde kann man es ganz ausstellen, so symbolisiert eine blaue LED den linken Kanal und die weiße LED an der Box den rechten Kanal. Dann kann man einen Countdown einstellen wonach sich die die Box automatisch herunterfährt, funktioniert auch paarweise im TWS Modus. Das automatische Herunterfahren fährt die Box runter, wenn 5 Minuten kein Signal kommt, oder die Box die Bluetooth Verbindung verliert. Praktisch, um Akku zu schonen. Schade, dass die Boxen in der App nicht mit ihrer Originalfarbe angezeigt werden. Sie laufen im TWS Modus absolut synchron. Die Verbindungsreichweite sind 15 Meter im Freien und im Gebäude auf jeden Fall 10-12 Meter. Schaltet man sie ein, sind sie nach 2 Sekunden gekoppelt und spielen bereits Klang ab. Sehr gut und dem Bluetooth des aktuellen Standard geschuldet. Das geht alles wirklich rasch. Klanglich macht die Neue allein wegen der EQ Einstellungsmöglichkeiten der Alten etwas vor. Es ist zwar keine ganz andere Welt, aber man hört es doch deutlich heraus. Ich möchte sogar sagen, dass wenn es ganz leise zugeht, der Vorgänger kaum schlechter, wenn nicht sogar etwas besser war. Die Neuen brauchen eine gewisse Lautstärke und ab ca. 30% lassen sie dann den Vorgänger hinter sich zurück. Denn dann klingen sie voller, dynamischer und klarer. Obwohl als Codec wieder nur SBC zur Verfügung steht. Die Bässe sind im Musik EQ ordentlich herauszuhören, mit gewisser Definition. Die Mitten sind deutlich und gut verständlich, alles hat seinen Platz und hört sich sauber an, ergänzt durch sehr ordentliche Höhen, die niemals zu scharf sind. Beginnt der Spaß bei etwa 25% Lautstärke, endet der Spaß bei etwa 80%, danach wird es unsauber und übersteuert hier und da. Es ist dennoch noch in Ordnung, aber eben nicht mehr wirklich schön. Zugegeben, Audiophil sind die kleinen Racker nicht, aber kommen wir zu den vielen guten Bewertungen stellen wir fest, es ist ihr Charme, ihre Handlichkeit, ihr sehr ordentlicher Klang im Verhältnis zur Größe, es sind die neuen Farben Jeansblau und dieses krasse Rot, es ist der Gummiriemen auf der Rückseite womit er überall zu befestigen ist, ob auf dem Rad, an dem Schubladengriff, oder sonst wo, es ist sein schnuckeliges Äußeres, es ist dieses stimmige Gesamtpaket. Er macht nicht wirklich etwas falsch, aber sehr viel richtig. Er wirkt zudem nach wie vor sehr gut verarbeitet, man hat dieses Gefühl, etwas Wertiges in der Hand zu halten. Es macht Spaß damit zu hören. Tribit macht Spaß. Auch der gute Support und die Hilfestellungen in der App zu vielen Fragestellungen mit den passenden Antworten zeigen, Tribit kümmert sich um die Kunden! Weiterhin sind sie zudem absolut robust und mit IP67 gegen Staub und Wasser geschützt. Das macht den Micro 2 zu einem wirklichen Upgrade, und nicht nur eine 2 im Namen und eine neue Farbe und gut ist. 👆 Fazit Nach wie vor ist eine der besten (kleinen) Boxen ganz groß. Hier passt vieles zusammen. Super Gesamtpaket und schwer in dieser Größenklasse zu überbieten. Alternativen: JBL Go 4, JBL Clip 5, Marshall Willen, die Liste ist lang. Die Gummiriemen auf der Rückseite haben längst nicht alle der Konkurrenten. 🥇 Referenzprodukt 👍 Absolute Kaufempfehlung! 👏 Vielen Dank für's Lesen dieser für Sie hoffentlich hilfreichen Rezension. Sie helfen mir mit ihrer Zustimmung weiterhin Produkte für den Kunden und damit für Sie auf Herz und Nieren zu testen!

Bu sınıfta rakipsiz bir ses netliği sunuyor. 12 saatlik pil süresi, boyutu, IP67 su ve toz geçirmezliği ile inanılmaz iyi bir ürün. Kesinlikle alabileceğiniz en iyi küçük hoparlör.
