Tribit - StormBox Blast

Alan Ross's pound for pound best speaker. Bit heavy but for its price betters a jbl extreme, even competes with boomboxes.

2 tribit stormbox blasts still piss on soundcore speakers, under £300. Loudness and decent sound ,don't always mix as most speakers drop highs and lows in high volumes.

I bought both the Boom 2 and Blast (link below) and listened side-by-side and preferred the bass and overall response from the Tribit Blast. There’s a Blast 2 that I’ll be reviewing, but at $300 it is a big jump from the $150 blast 1. [Tribit StormBox Blast 1](https://a.co/d/fm4MQqN)

The Tribit Stormbox Blast at Black Friday $140 on Amazon is your best bet. It's universally considered one of the best sounding boomboxes at even 2-3x the price. Buying two for under $300 will rock your garage. Plus it has a class leading 30+ hour battery. It's a no brainer! If you want something smaller (and not so ugly looking) but sounds HUGE(!) is the Bose Max at Black Friday $300 on the Bose website, you can get a 10% new user coupon and use a cashback site to get it even lower priced. I like their size and can absolutely rock a garage. I have the extra money so I got the Bose, but if I was a student, it'd be the Tribit all day! Remember that all these BT "toys" will have their batteries eventually wither away leaving you with a brick. And the sound CAN'T(!) compete with a powered audiophile 2.1 system either..... But for garden or garage background music, these two models should put a smile on your face. 👍

A lag free Aux like the Motion+ is the best you'll do or similar devices (some boomboxes like Tribit or Earful). Some Aux ports carry lots of lag so you need to look at test specs. Alan Ross at the end of his vids show the Aux lags. VERY useful info.

I lost my original Motion Boom and it was a stellar speaker. You could have it in your bedroom at very low volumes and still get good sound. I hear from alan ross the most recent ones are handicapped by worse components, but... \*beware\* the Boom 2. I made the mistake of buying it and it's just unsuitable for bedroom listening. It's like the amplifier is always running at full tilt even at low volumes, and it has a very noticeable hiss/whine. To add insult to injury it's not constant, it keeps turning itself on and off so you can't just ignore it. It might just be the component lottery, I don't know. So two "original" booms, even with the cost-cutting, \*might\* still be a good buy. You just couldn't beat them for portability, I could stick two in my backpack and still have room for all my stuff, or take just one and forget that I was carrying it until I needed to charge my phone. I miss it. That said... the Stormbox blast weighs a ton but it has an aux input, so it can be used for actually playing music, not just consuming it. It's too heavy for me to lug around, but it's a good all-round package. I'm still waiting for a good compromise: basically an original Motion Boom with an aux in.

It does sound great, but it was very middy for myself.

I use it on a construction site clipped on to my tool belt so it’s pretty much perfect if not a little awkwardly shaped which is my only gripe. If I need something that I can leave stationary to cover a larger area I bought a Stormbox blast, and that lasts me an 8hr work day easily and is just loud enough for most jobs.

I have the blast 2 and comparing it to the blast 1 it sounds ok, the blast 2 has more bass, volume and power. Compared ing the two side by side at different volume levels the blast 2 sounds dull, I love the bast 1 sound signature I hope they come out with updates and retune it a bit

I actually had the boombox 1 for a while the went to the extreme 3, blast 1 now 2, the blast 1 has a little more bass then the boombox and sounds a little better surprisingly, the blast 1 is also a little louder, the blast 2 has actually a lot more bass then the blast 1 and with its new update it sound’s actually better, if you have the money I would suggest a blast 2 + it’s a new speaker and more future proof

Hi there, since you are interested in Tribit and Earfun, I just recorded two video of Blast VS Uboom X few days ago, feel free to check that out and comment about my videos. I heard that Boom2 is good vaule speaker, but I only have blast and Uboom X in my hand, the Blast 2 is something that no one knows what it is going to be. 1. The Indoor one: [\[Low volume section\] UboomX vs StormBox blast ,The first impression from a ordinary customer (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0AWNy_i4dM) 2. The Outdoor one:[The best UboomX VS Blast in Youtube...?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsM2c3Z8rMs&ab_channel=pokketa) My outdoor one using my own DIY microphone and I think it give very good result, the video quality is shit because I am using a action camera but the audio is really good IMHO, guys if you really want to know how blast against UboomX outdoor that is your video. My previous posts: [The first one](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bluetooth_Speakers/comments/1g0e1dh/my_uboomx_arrived/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) [The second one](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bluetooth_Speakers/comments/1g0xazs/uboomx_vs_blast_a_first_impression_from_a/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) [The 3rd one](https://www.reddit.com/user/HunterFromPokke/comments/1g1z8l7/the_quick_conclusion_of_uboomx_vs_blast_outdoor/)

I got a Uboom X coming as well, but my only worry is EarFun might scam Oluv and his viewers with differences between his test units and the sold ones. Unlikely, but I don't like the company. Uboom L was so damn nice and it took 5min to sell my Tribit Blast as it sounded so baf in comparison. For the price etc I doubt the Uboom X won't be value.

these are all worth their weight in gold: $150 on Amazon - TriBit Stormbox Blast $140 on Amazon ($70/ea) - 2x Soundcore Motion Boom $138 on Amazon ($69/ea) - 2x Anker Soundcore Motion+ $112 on Amazon ($56/ea) - 2x Soundcore Motion 300's $107 on Amazon - Soundcore Motion Boom Plus $100 on Amazon ($50/ea) - 2x Earfun UBOOM L i personally own the TriBit, the Soundcore Motion+, the Earfuns, and I also was able to score a Harman Kardon Onyx 7 for $130 which is right in your price range. I love all of these speakers a lot, but the Harman Kardon has the best bass for the kind of music that I listen to.

Well it is a cheap plastic speaker that looks and feels like it was put together in a poor remote Chinese factory. While the sound quality isn't bad by any means, it's really not anything impressive, so sorry not everyone is blown away this speaker. I would take my HK Onyx Studio 7, Motion Boom Plus 2,Sony XG500, or even the Stormbox Blast over this any day. The highs and mids are flat and lifeless and while the bass is without a doubt impressive, it is boomy and muddled and overpowers the music on certain tracks. It is a decent speaker at low to mid volume depending on the type of music. If you want to get upset and insult my ears, feel free, but my opinion stands. This speaker will collect dust until I find someone to pawn it off on. Maybe they will enjoy it as much as you think everyone else should.

I returned mine because it was directly comparable to a Sonos One. Sure it’s nice that it’s portable, but the One gets much louder for less than half the price. Went and picked up a Tribit Stormbox Blast for portability and have been really happy with this one. (Which is still about half the EpicBoom price)

It comes in the semi truck and I buckle it in for the ride. Better than the truck speakers 🤷‍♂️

I agree with the other replies that two speakers are better than one. It depends on how big you are willing to carry around. My favorite that I've settled on is the Soundcore Boom 2. Although it is slightly larger than my idea size for a portable speaker, the handle makes it easy to move around. In my opinion it is just about the perfect balance of size, clarity, and bass for a portable speaker. It has great sound and great bass (even outside). It just won't fit in a small spot. For a smaller speaker, I would recommend the Earfun Uboom L or the Soundcore Motion 300 or the Bose Soundlink Flex. Again, a pair of these in stereo will get the best most room filling sound. All of these are small and easy to carry and easy to place anywhere. If you just want one speaker, I would recommend the Tribit Stormbox Blast or the Earfun Uboom X. They both sound great, with full sound, clarity, and deep bass. But they are huge! Probably not easily carried from room to room, but that that is your decision to make. The Soundcore Boom 2 would be good as a single speaker too, with a smaller size, but it won't sound quite as good as these other two.

Look up the Boominator for a DIY festival speaker project. Roskild has boominator camps where people hook them up together and cook everyone's ear drums. Car batteries are freaking heavy. Lithium is better. A pair of good BT party speakers like the Stormbox Blast can put out a decent amount of bass for the size and will be useful for more than just "festival" camping. The 12v forum at [speakerplans.com](http://speakerplans.com) has lots of wagon systems and other battery powered rigs to get ideas from.

In fact I have an early tunable prototype of the Blast which has quite superior hardware and could be pushed even more than what Tribit did but I never took the effort to play around with it more as they never gave me any go to try something and probably wouldn’t have paid me anything. I am still glad I had the chance to try what I did for Earfun as this showed me how overpriced most products are in the audio world. Companies don’t even try to squeeze out what is possible out of a given hardware but rather want the consumer to buy the next crap the release with some useless new features but no real changes at all, best example is JBL… In the end I learned a lot and am satisfied with the result and would definitely love to try something similar or even better but it’s unlike this will ever happen. Right now I am working on an own headphone at least I can decide what to do and how to do it. I am just fighting with sample variation, once fixed this should easily outperform all other offerings on the market…

May I ask which of my settings are you referring to? Did you even use the all. Honestly, Studio 7 is a joke, the boom plus 2 even more not even talking about the Sony,this is plain terrible and a boomy distorting mess and you hear the Earfun owerpowering with bass, are you serious? There must be indeed a huge problem on your side, maybe you had some defective unit. The Stormbox Blast is indeed decent but it’s objectively worse sound wise so really not sure what you seem to be hearing.

In reality Earfun engineers were founders of Tribit some years ago, thus speakers like the Xsound Go, Maxsound Plus, their headphones which I also was involved were all developed by the current Earfun team but they decided to separate and do their own thing with a new company. It took quite a bit until Tribit released something decent after that with the Blast being the first (and maybe last) gem they managed. Honestly the Blast 2 is a desaster soundwise despite all the hype. 

Charge 5 or Flip 6. I bet on Black Friday the Charge 5 will be available under 150. Also if you really want it loud in there you can't go wrong with the Tribit Stome Blast and you can find that for 150 all the time.

No you won't get close to the bass on the jbl party box with the charge or flip. It decent for a small room or just to bring around the house with you or travel. You'll want to go with the Tribit Storm Blast to get the most bass at 150 buck mark. It's also waterproof so it can stay in your bathroom. Since you mentioned hiking probably the Flip 6 which has solid bass for its size and is pretty portable. JBL Clip is another option but it doesn't get very loud.

The only speaker that sounds good out of the box that I could think of is the tribit stormbox blast. Every budget soundcore/tribit speakers need a good eq to sound really good. The difference is night and day. U only have to set them once tho

?? Tribit has the best battery of all the boombox out there.

Probably because of the lights. It gets really bright. You can turn it off anytime. This thing lasts a full work shift at 50% vol and will have 60% battery left in my experience

Ouh i was talking about blast 1. It sounds so much better than 2 in every single reviews I have no plans of upgrading. Blast 2 is just louder and "boomier"

The ones I currently own are the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2, Soundcore Motion Boom, and Tribit Stormbox Blast. Micro 2 for travel and hikes, Boom for smaller parties and still reasonable for travel, Blast for camping and larger parties where I won’t be moving it much. Preciously had some sony speakers, a couple bose speakers, the soundcore motion+, and the uboom L, but I felt the Micro 2 and Boom satisfied my use cases better and I either returned or gave them away. I think I’ll likely upgrade my Boom to the Boom 2 and my Blast will probably be replaced by the Uboom X.

The Blast is definitely more suited for genres like Electronic Music and can be a bit mid and upper bass heavy but the fidelity and volume still impressed me enough to choose it. The X will be interesting to compare though especially since it seems to be quite Neutral from initial reviews.

I don’t think I’m a bot but the Earfun Uboom X is genuinely a great speaker that, for lack of a better term, punches above its weight. The EQ profiles and design give a lot of options for different settings where you might use it. Something that has to be said is that speakers will never last as long as they’re advertised when they are used outdoors at high volumes. I’d say the advertised playtimes are closer to what you’d get at 30-50% volume. I have the original Stormbox Blast and it’s nice, but the A/C charging limits its versatility imo. Something USB charged like the Uboom X would be easier to charge with a powerbank to extend its playtime when on a boat where you may be using it. I don’t dislike established brands like JBL and Sony, but it’s undeniable that you’re paying a decent chunk for the name and the sonic performance isn’t strictly better on something like the Boombox 3 vs the Uboom X.

Tribit stormbox blast, is best for under 200 and is waterproof with good battery 30 hours

Your whole account is uboom x spamming, I never said it wasnt a good speaker but your trying to say it's better than it is, probably for financial gain when it has issues when using any of oluvs EQ's in tws and party mode. The stormbox blast is a better more realistic sounding speaker without any special tuning that doesnt suffer with stuttering in tws and isn't much more in money, granted its bigger heavier and less travel friendly due to not having tws but it's far from dead and is the best in it's price range, ie slighty more As a stand alone speaker, uboom x is probably the best speaker in its price range, because of oluvs EQ'S bring it to life, but only being able to use it on 1 speaker at a time feels like an unfinished product pump and dump. It's funny you have not mentioned this in just 1 of your posts despite the app even saying it stutters using oluvs EQ's

If it's for a home speaker for around the house or maybe the back yard on a sunny day I recommend the harmon kardon go play 3, battery life is around 6 hours to 9 hours at normal listening levels, and it's probably the cheapest best sounding speaker in your price range while also saving you money. It's not a speaker that's travel friendly at all though, it has an exposed downward facing subwoofer, needs to be main charged, not waterproof and has a fabric type of cover. For a speaker for outside and inside the tribit stormbox blast is hard to beat for sound quality and price, it has a 30 hour battery life but is mains charged only. Another speaker that is good is earfun uboom x, it's a little lighter and smaller plus cheaper than the blast and takes usb fast charge. It doesnt sound quite as good as the blast but it's really close to as good and very eq able plus has carry strap making it more travel friendly

I still need to try the EarFun uBoom X - but I do like how light the Boom 2 is, the Stormbox Blast sounds a bit better to me, but its kind of heavy. The Boom 2 doesn't lag far behind in sound, and is a whole lot lighter. I've also shared my full thoughts on the Boom 2 here: [https://www.outeraudio.com/soundcore-boom-2/](https://www.outeraudio.com/soundcore-boom-2/)

Stormbox blast 2 that I have has very good bass.. it's under your price point.. can't really suggest anything else because besides a jbl extreme 2 that's all I have... the jbl has no bass compared to the stormbox.. again it's a extreme 2.. not 4.

Leaves it in the dust... it's much better.

Mr. Obvious obviously downvoted this too. I returned my UBOOM X it was hot trash. The Stormbox Blast 2 is where it’s at.

I know this post is from a while ago, but I wanted to chime in just in case you're still looking for recommendations. The **Tribit Stormblast** you were leaning toward is definitely a solid choice for bass-heavy genres like dubstep, trap, and drum and bass. It’s got great bass for the price and is waterproof, which makes it perfect for beach trips or tubing. However, if you're still in the market for a new waterproof Bluetooth speaker, these options might catch your interest: 1. **JBL Charge 5** – If you liked the Charge 4, the Charge 5 is even better. It has improved bass and sound quality, plus it's still waterproof (IP67), so it's great for outdoor adventures. 2. **Ultimate Ears Megaboom 3** – It’s been getting a lot of praise for its 360-degree sound and strong bass, making it a great choice for bass-heavy music. Plus, it’s still fully waterproof (IP67) and rugged. 3. **Anker Soundcore Motion+** – This one’s still a strong budget option with impressive bass and waterproofing (IPX7). It gives you great sound for its price range. If you haven't already made a decision, I actually wrote a blog post on the best waterproof Bluetooth speakers that includes various options for different needs, including the bass-heavy sound you're looking for. Feel free to check it out for more info! \[[https://voyedy.com/best-waterproof-bluetooth-speakers/](https://voyedy.com/best-waterproof-bluetooth-speakers/)\] Hope this helps, and happy listening!

It's been a few years since I listened to the Stormbox Blast, but I believe both the Defender and Turtlebox are louder. Rtings measured 96.7 dB from the Stormbox Blast, which is about what I recall. The Blast is a great speaker, but it's not as loud as these.
