This Tiny Speaker BLEW ME AWAY! 🔊 | Tribit StormBox Mini+ Review (MUST SEE!) - YouTube

What We Loved

• Bluetooth connection stabilityOf course, it connects very quickly to your phone. Once you're connected, it always directly connect again to your phone.
• Control button responsivenessthe big volume knobs always good.
• Frequency response balancethe sound is really good that comes out of a small speaker like this
• Handle or strap qualityI also love this strap because you can hook it on your backpack and then listen to the music or hook it on your belt or uh something else. Uh you can you can hook it uh in your tent or on a boat so you don't lose it or you don't drop it.
• Loudness / maximum volumeeven when you want to have a little bit louder music, it still works perfect for me. Of course, you don't can play big parties with it
• Setup simplicityIt's very simple. Push it on, connect it with a Bluetooth tool
• Value for moneyFor me, I think it's worth each penning of it.
• Water resistance ratingI didn't throw it in the water, but if they say it's water resistant, I believe them. Even when you check out here on the back, it's a decent waterresistant ceiling where you can charge. So, I believe it's really waterresistant.
• Weight convenienceit's a decent format. You can put it easy in your bagit's not too big. It's pretty heavy, but that's the battery.

Just Okay

• Battery life (if portable)I didn't test if the battery is really working for 12 hours.if you use it normally and not as loud. Then of course the battery life is longer.
• Lighting effectsyou can turn the light on or off. For me, the light is not a thing. I don't use it. I don't get it why people want to use it because it has not really to do something with the sound. I can imagine children like it. And uh if you are in a dark space and you have some light, it's okay. But for me, it doesn't bring something extra to the sound

• Value for moneyIt's priced at around $40All that under $40.it kind of Verdict makes more sense than going for a brand name speaker that cost double for the same output
• Water resistance ratingit does come with an IPX7 rating, which means it can survive splashes and rain or even being dropped in water for a bit.I haven't dunked this in the pool, but it handled a bit of sink spray without any issues.definitely safe for the beach, kitchen, or shower if you're into that stuff, but I wouldn't submerge this deep

• Speakerphone qualitydoes have a built-in mic as well so you can use it for speakers and calls
• Surround sound simulationit does have 360 soundmaybe due to the way they've done the 360 sound as well. It just sounds so echoey

Needs Improvement

• Frequency response balanceThere's absolutely zero bass to the soundit sounds so so tiny and so like empty
• Lighting effectsthere's only like two settings for the lights. One of them is like really fast flashing and the other one is kind of like really slow flashingboth of them look kind of just as bad as each other

What We Loved

• Build qualityPro number one is definitely going to the build quality and aesthetics.I totally dig the Stormbox line. I love the fabric feel of their speakers.
• Control button responsivenessthey're in a raised plastic tactile button that's actually pretty clicky.ginormous buttons in the front. Nice and big, easy to see.
• Frequency response balanceI am very impressed. It seemed to hit in all the right spots.with a minor tweak here and there on the custom EQ, I was certainly able to bring out some deeper and brighter sounds.
• Handle or strap qualitywe have a nice fabric finger strap that has the Tbit name
• Lighting effectsLastly, we have the passive radiator on a shock absorbing pad system that houses the LED lights.it just wouldn't be considered a storm box without it.we're only going to get two modes to choose from. Yeah, mode one or mode two.
• Multi-speaker pairing reliabilityNow we're getting true wireless sound when pairing two speakers together.It's going from one speaker to the next. That is some true wireless surround.
• Speakerphone qualityhas a built-in mic to enjoy hands-free calls. That's pretty dope.

Just Okay

• Distortion at high volume-Some distortion at high volumessome distortion is to be expected past the 80% volume mark.

Needs Improvement

• Multipoint connectivityit doesn’t feature multipoint connectivity.

Tribit Stormbox Mini+ Review: A Great Cheap Portable Speaker | WIRED

What We Loved

• App reliabilityadds compatibility with the free Tribit companion app (which sports an equalizer and a few other settings)Tribit’s newly added, app-based EQ function is worth experimenting with.this lets you save 15 of them. I had better luck with the five built-in presets (Music, Audiobook, Classical, Rock, and Jazz).
• Bluetooth codec supportintroduces the AAC codec (for arguably better audio, especially on iPhones).
• Build qualityIts cylindrical body is wrapped in wear-resistant fabric weave and capped at both ends with rubbery silicone.which sits behind a protective rubber gasket.
• Distortion at high volumeyou can ramp the StormBox up to 100% with almost no distortion.
• Frequency response balanceClear, balanced sound.
• Lighting effectsFun LED lights.the StormBox Mini+ has a small LED halo on top, with your choice of two music-synced patterns: breathing or blinking.
• Loudness / maximum volumeyou can ramp the StormBox up to 100% with almost no distortion. At that level, you’ll easily annoy your neighbors.
• Multi-speaker pairing reliabilityyou can pair two Stormbox Mini+ models for surprisingly good stereo soundconnecting the 3.5mm aux-in port disables the Bluetooth connection, so no stereo pairing is possible when using an analog source.
• Value for moneyUltra affordable.for its unique combination of price, sound quality, and features, you’d be hard pressed to find another waterproof model that checks as many boxes.
• Voice assistant responsivenessI also had no problem summoning Siri.
• Voice clarityIt can’t quite match the midrange clarity of UE’s Miniroll ($80), and yet I didn’t find it lacking clarity.
• Water resistance ratingAn IPX7 rating means it should survive immersion in water down to three feet for 30 minutes, but given that it floats (upside down), I doubt you’ll ever put that to the test. It certainly handled a bit of bobbing in my kitchen sink.
• Wired input availabilityHas speakerphone and 3.5mm inputs.Another feature you won’t find is the StormBox Mini+’s 3.5mm AUX input, which sits behind a protective rubber gasket.

Just Okay

• Battery life (if portable)Tribit claims you’ll get 12 hours of playtime on a single charge (you’ll need 2.5 hours to charge it from empty).it was closer to 9.5 hours.These aren’t the best specs for a portable speaker, but given that you can get almost a whole day out of a charge, they aren’t a deal-breaker, either.
• Speakerphone qualityThe speakerphone function works well.the gain on the built-in mic is a tad on the low side. If I moved further than about two feet from the speaker, my voice became a lot fainter.
• Stereo imaging accuracyRealistically, because the drivers are horizontally opposed, you’re never going to get true stereo separation.
• Weight convenienceA bit heavy for the size.at 1.3 pounds, it’s surprisingly weighty.

Needs Improvement

• Dust resistance ratingJust keep in mind that the “X” in IPX means no dust resistance.
• Status indicatorsThe StormBox Mini+ has no visual indicator for volume level, and the only battery indication happens when the level drops to 20% or lower (the power button blinks). The LED ring could be used for both.

Tribit Stormbox Mini Plus review: an budget Bluetooth speaker that does the basics but sadly lacks sonic oomph | TechRadar

What We Loved

• Bluetooth rangeBluetooth 5.4 means dropouts aren’t going to happen
• Control button responsivenessa handful of attractive buttons for volume, Bluetooth connectivity, and RGB lighting – all the kind of size that’s perfect for tapping while in the pool.Along its side are chunky, tactile buttons for volume and playback
• Drop resistance durabilityI accidentally dropped it a few times and it’s always fine and eager to work once more.Accidentally, I dropped it from about 5ft onto concrete and, again, all good here.
• Handle or strap qualityit’s easy to carry in one hand, too, thanks to its strap.there’s also an easy-to-grab strap that is the perfect size for most hands.
• Lighting effectsI rather liked the RGB lighting. It’s not too in your face and the two presets both look nice without overcomplicating matters.
• Setup simplicityEasy to useit’s all a nice checklist of the essentials and everything is suitably speedy to get using. Nothing is too complicated.
• Voice clarityFor me, listening to podcasts was fine
• Water resistance ratingit has the strength of being IPX7 waterproof and very robustIt has IPX7 waterproofing so it’ll happily sit in the pool without issue.
• Weight conveniencethe Tribit Stormbox Mini Plus is nevertheless pretty light. I found no issue with carrying it around
• Wired input availabilitythere’s a comparatively rare AUX port if you need it.

Just Okay

• Battery life (if portable)Battery life 12 hours (quoted)The battery life is a fine-if-unremarkable 12 hoursMore would be nice but it’s not the end of the world

Needs Improvement

• Distortion at high volumewhen you crank up the volume, the audio quality definitely dips.Audio quality weakens the louder it gets
• Frequency response balanceBass is weak and the general sound is pretty muffled.
• Loudness / maximum volumeKeep it low, though, and you won’t have many complaints at this price point.You love music loud The Tribit Stormbox Mini Plus sounds poorer the louder it gets.
• Stereo imaging accuracyThe soundstage is quite weak, too, with 360-degree sound appearing to be more of a buzz term than something that is actually noticeable.

The only Bluetooth speaker you need for pool parties costs less than $40: no, I’m not joking | Tom's Guide

What We Loved

• Everyday usabilityI think I've found my go-to speaker not just for parties by the water or at the beach, but for everyday use too.Having used the speaker in the shower, while cooking, while having a nice dinner in my balcony, and while chilling by my friend's pool, it didn't take long for the StormBox Mini+ to become my go-to speaker for everyday use.
• Frequency response balanceI never thought a speaker that costs less than $40 could actually sound good. It's difficult to find great, detailed sound at such a low price, especially in a small, portable speaker — but the StormBox Mini+ has proved me wrong.This speaker sounds like a Bose, it has to be at least $100.
• Handle or strap qualityThere's also a handy strap located on the top of the speaker in case you want to hook it up to a carabiner, or carry it around your finger to look super cool.
• LED lighting effectsRunning along the length of the speaker's passive radiator is an LED lighting strip which reacts to and dances with the beat of the song playing.It works like a charm, dancing along to the bass and sub-bass in tracks like Pink Floyd's 'Money' and the harp in Lana Del Rey's 'Video Games.'It can even keep up with the high tempo in Charli XCX's Brat album, which is saying a lot.It's the perfect speaker to show off at a pool party, thanks to the dazzling light show (very bright in the dark, by the way).
• Loudness / maximum volumeThis is the only Bluetooth speaker you need for pool parties, trust me.
• Multi-speaker pairing reliabilityWhen two StormBox Mini+ speakers are synchronized by holding down the Bluetooth button on each speaker, they sound incredible.Audio travels between the two speakers really well too.
• Price / value for moneyI never thought a speaker that costs less than $40 could actually sound good.One of the Tribit StormBox Mini+'s biggest selling points is that its very cheap, retailing for just $39 / £29.That makes it one of the cheapest speakers we've tested here at Tom's Guide, and definitely the most affordable one I've personally reviewed.
• Stereo imaging accuracySo why get just one when you can get two, sync them up and get stereo sound?When two StormBox Mini+ speakers are synchronized by holding down the Bluetooth button on each speaker, they sound incredible, making you feel like you're engulfed in the audio or like you're at the movies.Tribit sent me two speakers so I could test the stereo mode, and I'm pleased to report that it's fantastic.Audio travels between the two speakers really well too, so one moment you'll be hearing Lana Del Rey serenading you in one speaker and then her vocals will travel to the other, and then both speakers will burst with her ethereal voice.
• Water resistance ratingIt needs to be waterproof enough that it should survive if it falls into the water.The StormBox Mini+ is IPX7-rated, which means it can be submerged in 1 meter (about 6 feet) of water for up to 30 minutes, and it works fine if water splashes on it too.No condensation in the shower had a negative impact on the speaker.I also washed a spoon and accidentally let the powerful stream of tap water hit it at just the right angle that the water flew right at the speaker — and it was fine!
• Weight convenienceThe Tribit StormBox Mini+ is a take-anywhere-able speaker, as it measures just 4.68 x 3.58 x 3.58 inches and weighs 19.2 ounces, so you can easily carry it around in your backpack without feeling weighed down.
