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.

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 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)

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 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

Will the new update bring out better highs by chance ? That's the only thing missing from this speaker

I think with the upcoming firmware updates, not only will it have better sound but it will allow us to link it to the Stormbox Blast 1 which to me is a big selling point since I own two V1's. Even the original Blast, I had to use the eq to set it up to my liking. I love that I have the flexibility to do that since everyone's music taste is different.

I hope so!

Get tribit stormbox blast 2 or wking x20

For this price i'd get the tribit stormbox blast 2 with a diacount through the official website.

The bose flex is very good, but it'a a small speaker. It sounds really good for the size. But the tribit blast 2 is way way way larger (boombox sized) And obvioisly is way more powerful. If you're limited in terms of size and portabiliy then yea the bose is a great pick, but for most sound for the price ratio the tribit will give you a way better value.

It's a portable speaker, relax. Portability has levels.

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.

?? 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"

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 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 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.

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.
