Tribit - StormBox Blast 2

A brief fact-based comparison between the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2 and the EarFun UBOOM X. The only advantages of the Blast 2 are a slightly higher maximum volume with acceptable sound, connection options for microphones (with reverb control) and the more elaborate party lighting. The UBOOM X has advantages in all other aspects. It can produce a deeper bass and a better overall sound quality, i.e. a more linear frequency response, better clarity, more authentic separation and reproduction of instruments and vocals. It really does have audiophile qualities. It can be charged more quickly via USB C, a shoulder strap is included, it is noticeably smaller, lighter and significantly cheaper. It can therefore be said that the UBOOM X is the better overall package for most users. It is the speaker for music lovers. The Blast 2, on the other hand, is better suited for smaller (karaoke) parties. For a real party, however, I would prefer a JBL PartyBox 320 or something even bigger.

As an alternative to the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2, you should also take a look at the EarFun UBOOM X. A brief fact-based comparison: The only advantages of the Blast 2 are a slightly higher maximum volume with acceptable sound, connection options for microphones (with reverb control) and the more elaborate party lighting. The UBOOM X has advantages in all other respects. It can produce deeper bass and better overall sound quality, i.e. a more linear frequency response, better clarity, more authentic separation and reproduction of instruments and vocals. It has truly audiophile qualities. It's faster to charge via USB C, it comes with a shoulder strap, it's noticeably smaller, lighter and, depending on what's on offer, only costs about half as much. Or in other words, for the same money you could buy two UBOOM X and use them in TWS. Two speakers in stereo sound more than twice as good as just one and really bring music to life with their wide sound stage. So you could say that the UBOOM X is the better overall package for most users. It is the speaker with the best price-performance ratio and is equally suitable for music lovers and smaller parties. The Blast 2, on the other hand, is only better suited for smaller karaoke parties. For a really big party, however, I would prefer one/two JBL PartyBox 320 or something even bigger.

Some pretty strange recommendations have been made here so far. With the EarFun UBOOM X, you undoubtedly get the best sound for your money. I compared it individually and as a stereo pair with my hi-fi system at home. And we tested them in a friend's music studio. [https://ibb.co/3rHmRRT](https://ibb.co/3rHmRRT) Of course, they weren't on a par with the $3000 ATC SCM 16 monitors and the ADAM Audio Sub12, nor with my Canton Ergo RC-L floorstanding speakers, but they performed damn well up to a medium volume level. And that's saying something. The UBOOM X is not a speaker that sounds good for its price, but a speaker that sounds sensationally good for a portable Bluetooth speaker. It has hi-fi qualities and it's a pleasure to sit in front of it and consciously listen to music. This thing sounds so good that it regularly puts a grin on your face. I don't know the space conditions in your room. For your budget of 250 $, you could also buy two UBOOM Xs and use them in TWS as a stereo system. Please note, two speakers in stereo sound more than twice as good as one and the music only really comes to life with a wide sound stage. The UBOOM X is far superior in terms of sound to the three speakers mentioned in you post headline. I can't understand how anyone can still recommend the Tribit Stormbox Blast 1 today. Most people who have heard both speakers, like me, see the UBOOM X as having advantages in overall sound quality and it also has a deeper and more powerful bass. In addition, the Blast 1 is noticeably larger and heavier, cannot be charged via USB C but requires a power adapter, has no shoulder strap and is more expensive. So what's in its favor? The comparison between the EarFun Uboom X and the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2 is more interesting: The advantages of the Blast 2 are a slightly higher maximum volume with acceptable sound, connection options for microphones (with reverb control) and the more elaborate party lighting. The UBOOM X has advantages in all other respects. It can produce deeper bass and better overall sound quality, i.e. a more linear frequency response, better clarity, more authentic separation and reproduction of instruments and vocals. It has truly audiophile qualities. It's faster to charge via USB C, it comes with a shoulder strap, it's noticeably smaller, lighter and, depending on what's on offer, only costs about half as much. Or in other words, for the same money you could buy two UBOOM X and use them in TWS. So you could say that the UBOOM X is the better overall package for most users. It is the speaker with the best price-performance ratio and is equally suitable for music lovers and smaller parties. The Blast 2, on the other hand, is only better suited for smaller karaoke parties.

I loved the OG storm box blast. Picked up the blast 2 and immediately returned it. I think it sounds awful.

I have a pair of stormbox micro 2 and a stormbox blast 2... the micros are best in class for the size.. the blast 2 is a bass cannon.

If size isn't a concern go for the JBL 310. It's a better speaker that costs less than the boombox 3. The Xtreme 3 is underwhelming compared to its competitors. The uboom x sits nicely between the Xtreme and the boombox series and is another speaker I would recommend. The tribit Stormbox blast 2 is also good for the money and probably the closest speaker to the boombox 3. It's not as clear as the boombox 3 but it's significantly cheaper.

I found in the shower once you get to boombox speakers the bass is overwhelming and takes away from the rest of the song. I honestly prefer my motion 300 over my Stormbox blast in the shower because it's clearer and the bass isn't overwhelming.

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 have that update and eq, it sounds a little brighter but loses bass, I have my own eq that makes it a bit better but it distorts at max volume, I’m going to keep it in xbass and wait for hopefully another update

Best for price to sound I can recommend is Soundcore boom 2. Cheaper than the charge 5 and 6 but can go on with xtreme 4, bose soundlink max and other mid size speakers. For Bass heavy then its the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2, you can get two for the same JBL Boombox 3 but still have some money left

Tribit storm box blast 2. It’s got bass sound and not too big. Forget the ones mentioned before this reply.

Mid grade studio monitors or a small sub/satellite rig will sound better than a battery powered BT speaker for the bedroom. A pair of hefty Tribit Blast 2's or pair of "Earfun Uboom X" speakers will bring more than enough bass and have the wide stereo separation that only a pair of speakers can provide.

Pair of U boom x's are $240. That leaves the OP with $260 to spend on bass strings or a new pedal. Pair of Tribit Blast 2 will clobber a single overpriced JBL Boombox in stereo seperation and output and stll cost $100 less. Wired Bookshelf speakers will work better long term with no battery to bork out and better drivers/tweeters than any of the portable speakers.

Going to go with Tribit Stombox Blast 2. Not the best design looks wise but just seems like an incredible speaker.

Get tribit stormbox blast 2 or wking x20

For 150 your not going to find bass that you can really feel. I got the tribit stormbox lava for 90. And below 65 procent it has some serious bass. I am very impressed. I also have the tribit stormbox blast 2. That is a bass monster hahaha. Spend some more and get that speaker. Otherwis look at the zealot s95!! Very good price and awesome bass. Mine will arrive next week. I got it for 140. I Had a coupon on TEMU

JBL boombox 3, harman kardon go play 3, tribit stormbox blast 2 (a 30 hour rated battery) Jbl partybox encore. Best under 400$ speakers iv'e had from my experience. And yea i was confronting a bot not too long ago who thinks that a 130$ earfun speaker is more hifi than a jbl boombox

If you're able to find a boombox 3 for around 400$, go for it. If not, i think you'll be just fine with any of the tribit stormbox blasts, even the first gen which is still a very good speaker with a long battery life. You can get the second gen ofc as well. These are solid options that i prefer the most for long outdoor usage and durability.

If you want sonething for movies, you probably want something with a lot of bass and low latency / aux input for the lowest latency. Tribit stormbox blast 2 is my suggestion.

Not necesarily, the speaker will play mid and high frequencies well too

X20 is a replicated boombox 3. I don't really like it's tuning but for most people it's a better bang for a buck and it should do the job for you. I would also suggest looking at the tribit stormbox blast or blast 2. Both are pretty solid built

They're all water resistant, and sound quality is pretty good on them. I just like the x20 less.

?? 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"

Tribit Blast 2, if size is not of concern.

It’s much louder (bigger), deeper bass, more options like mic. input. So in those ways, yes it’s better. However if the “better” you’re looking for is size/portability in a bag. Plus having a better stereo soundstage, then 2 Lava’s are better.

I have 3 of them. Lava, blast 2 and uboom x. If you want power, get blast 2. Lava should be your last option. Doesn’t come close to blast 2 and uboom x. If you want good enough bass with pretty much “hifi” sound indoors. Can’t recommend uboom enough. I can send you proof of those 3 together if you want. I also have boombox 3 wifi too(best of the 3) Also I am from India. Uboom x used to be around 16k. Now it’s 18k. Was out of stock for more than a month.

Get the uboom then. It does good in my 30x20ft room. It has good enough bass and clarity. Don’t expect a powerhouse. If you want pretty good bass which will rumble your room. Get blast 2. Clarity is mediocre. Aren’t you interested in Jbl encore essential?? Bass is almost the same as blast 2 with good enough clarity. But battery is abysmal. 4 to 5 hours backup in 50% volume.

Battery depends on what songs you play too. If it has lots of bass. Expect the speaker to eat more battery. Also using blast 2 inside won’t be a problem but its main use is outdoors. The reason I recommended uboom instead of blast even though blast 2 has harder and louder bass is because, using indoor we tend to listen at 30 % 40% 50% volume. That’s where uboom shine. It has bass and clarity even in low volumes, in blast 2, you have to turn up the volume above 50%. And mid and clarity of blast 2 is not good compared to ubooom. 13k for encore essential, give it a try at nearby Croma or any electronic store. You can save some ₹₹ Also don’t expect uboom x to drop below 15k. It never went below 15k even in big billion days last year.

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.

Did the new update fix the boominess, I returned mine and got two Stormbox blasts 2 and are incredible when EQ’d

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.

The only thing rugged enough for a construction job is something dewalt/Milwaukee/etc.. I bought a tribit sb blast for the same purpose as you pretty much. It sounds 100x better than any tool brand speaker, but def not as durable, and I am always paranoid about it getting hit/falling over etc. Battery life is also very satisfactory, and is not as huge as others

JBL Charge 5, Boom 2, SoundLink Max, JBL Boombox 3, StormBox Blast, GO + Play 3. I returned them all. I would have kept Boombox 3 if I didn't feel like Boombox 4 was going to come out.

If the JBL Partybox 110/120 is too expensive, go for 2 or more UBoom X. You can pair them up, but be aware that party or tws mode will drain the battery faster (as is the case with all speakers). The Stormbox is nowhere loud enough. Strombox Blast would also work, but needs a bigger charger.

I have two Boom 2's and a MegaBoom and none of them compare to my Stormbox Blast. Even when they're linked up. The Booms are a bummer these days.

Stormbox Blast, is my pick.

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!

Bluetooth is backwards compatible, so doesn't matter if the phone is old, it'll still work with newer bluetooth speakers. I have 2 Stormbox Blasts and they sounds really good together. But if you want to save some money, check out the Earfun Uboom X instead.

For 30-40 people outside a charge might not be loud enough. Try a Sony xg300 or soundcore boom 2 at least. Better a soundcore motion boom plus 1/2, sony ult 7 or Tribit stormbox blast 1/2, or jbl encore.

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.
