I've been a victim of this same phenomenon, but I cut the cycle and finally bought a decent speaker. I checked the recommendations of reddit and went ahead with Tribit Stormbox 2 which costed around 6K. I wanted to go for Emberton II but I compared and saw that Tribit and Bose Flex 2 had better quality at the same price point. But Tribit Stormbox Lava was a bit heavier for my purpose, so Stormbox 2 it is. And I'm actually quite happy with the bass and the sound. Let's see how long this lasts. Prior to this, I owned a Xiaomi speaker of around 1.3K and some other pocket speaker which I got as a gift from my company.
Stormbox 2 or Lava should be on your radar. These things are loud!
I own the Earfun and the Tribit. The Earfun is the easy winner. Punches way above it's class and budget
I was not sure the size you needed, but I have had a chance to try the Tribit Stormbox 2 or Soundcore Glow or Motion 300. 👍
Tribit Stormbox 2 or Tribit Blast have great reviews in wired mag. Blast 159 and Stormbox 2 at 80.
It depends what size you want. The Bose is very good if you want a small speaker. The Tribit Stormbox 2 is a very good smaller speaker that competes with the JBL Flip 6. It has a very good review by Wired .
The Tribit Stormbox 2 is good you like the cylinder style.
All I know is that I can have my Stormbox 2 blasting for 12 hours over the loudness of a double forklift.
I have the stormbox 2 and play it in a loud facility while wearing earplugs and driving a double forklift. Full blast gets me 7 hours and 75% will last me my whole 12 hour shift.
Motion 100 is not comparable to the UBoomL . I have both and the Motion is great but it's a much smaller less powerful speaker so unless you want it for portability I would get the UboomL or the two Tribit speakers which are also very good .
I have two Tribit Stormboxs GEN2. I love the sound of those speakers, but you need two of them. Mine are about four years old and I still use them for travel and around the house. Recently replaced for outdoor with two Soundcore Boom V2s which have a much different sound profile even with the customizable EQ. The Stormbox’s are such a cleaner sound. I wouldn’t hesitate to give two xSound Plus2s a run.
Go for tribit Stormbox 2...beats all with ease
Go for it man. It's the best value for money.
