Tribit - Stormbox Micro

Tribit Micro is a great pocket speaker. Earfun Uboom X is a high value bass blaster. Bose soundlink flex is a nice middle ground speaker and the JBL flip & Charge have good bass for the size.

New Pill is supposed to be decent. Bose Flex is a nice compact speaker that fits in backback too. Earfun uboom L is that weight category and a good budget option. I have a Soundcore Motion Plus that has worked well for a few years. It is a heavy little speaker compared to the ones mentioned above. I have a little Tribit stormbox mico for crusin on the bike that does a good job for it's small size.

> tribit xsound plus Not sure about the new X-sound plus 2. I had a little Tribit Xsound go that was fairly neutral and own a Tribit Micro that is great for the size. I would not call them "dark" or bass heavy. Just kind of flat. I think you would want to use the eq and cut the highs if you are sensitive to those frequencies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8tm3FwCkWM I had big ass Tribit Blast that really thumped but it is not "portable". Bose soundlink Flex is probably going to sound better but it is $150 and the Tribit is half the price. In the sub $100 range the Soundcore motion Boom is still a contender if you like the bass.

I replaced my old ue Roll with a little Tribit stormbox micro and it was a nice improvement in bass & battery. I have a Motion + and it is not as portable as the Tribit Micro or JBL Flip but gets much louder if necessary. In the sub 2lb speaker category the Earfun Uboom L is probably the best bang for the buck.

Manufactures do not always rate "watts" the same and often exaggerate the numbers. The off-brand 200watt BT speaker might have 10 watts rms. Tribit Micro is a decent speaker for the size. The smaller Select go 5 will be easier to clip to a belt but I would prefer the bass from the Tribit.

Soundcore select 4 go. Better sound and less expensive than the JBL tiny sized speakers. My Tribit stormbox micro fits in a big jacket pocket. The Micro 2 is often recommended around here.

If I'm traveling alone, none. If I'm traveling with my wife or other people, I bring the Tribit Stormbox Micro. It's small, has decent battery life and USB-C. It's louder than I need it to be as I'm not trying to have anyone else here it. My wife and I enjoy having it in our accomodations. We do not bring it anywhere else.

Oh, right on! I'm an SEO and deal with theoretical situations like this almost daily (running my own LLM on my MacBook Pro with Python), and I love what you've done here. The results aren't surprising and match what I thought might be the Top Five most loved/commented-on speakers. I've owned several of the speakers on the list and only kept a few, particularly Bose Flex 2s and Tribit Stormbox Micro 2s. I also own a number of high-end WiFi-capable speakers (my entire setup is Apple TV/AirPlay 2 hybrid ecosystem), and I consider my Sonos Move 2s to be among the very best for portable speakers. For the same money, they blow away the Bose Smart Speaker. I've got a Stormbox Lava coming this week, though...along with a Brane X. It'll be interesting to see how those rank in 12 months, considering how new they are.

I’ve got the StormBox Micro 2s paired up and strapped to the lifelines in my sailboats cockpit. They’re secure, and sound damned good. That’s my recommendation.

I have owned a number of Tribit speakers over the last few years and they've gotten better and better over time. Currently, I have the Stormbox Micro 2s (pair, on my sailboat), and a Stormbox Lava, for use as an AUX-in portable amp for my EWI, and also for rocking out to dock parties when I don't want to grab my Brane Xs or Move 2s. The Lava's use case for me is just perfect, and I like the style and sound...after setting up a few different flavors of EQ for indoors and outdoors, and musical styles. Those Micro 2s, though? DUDE...I will buy a pair of Micro 3s the minute they come out. Those little fuççers are damned good for how I use them...sailing in all sorts of conditions in San Francisco.

Yes! You’ve got exceptional taste! I’ve owned a number of the Gen. 1s, and just picked up a pair on Woot (new!) for $140 each. Totally a steal. Paired up, they’re kind of unbeatable, especially for the price I paid.

I have had a number of StormBox Micro speakers, 1 and 2. The 2 is slightly heavier (11 oz), but the sound it produces is remarkable given its size. I can recommend this micro speaker.

Tbh, i started out with a tribit strombox micro. Later for about 5 years. I loved it but now it's all woren out. Want to evolve my music experience.

I have the OG Tribit stormbox micro. The thing sounds amazing and it won't die. I've been waiting to upgrade to the 2 but this thing sounds amazing and it just won't quit

Tribit stormbox micro is half the size of flex. Sounds much better than other small speakers.

Sony’s last wave of portable speakers were not great so I think a lot of people didn’t bother trying the new ones. For context, I prefer not having to mess with EQ to find the best sound, but I will do it to see if there’s any improvement over the default or the included extra bass mode (xbass, ult, etc). Speakers used to need to be EQ’d but the newest ones sound great without needing to mess around (for my ears). For portable, the sony ult field 1 is my sweet spot for sound quality and size. I used to carry around the bose soundlink flex, but it lays flat or on the side while this one can stand straight up, taking much less space. The passive radiators give it a ton of bass and I honestly prefer the sound over the flex. The tribit micro is “smaller” but takes up more space when using. The tribit stormbox 2 is a good budget option. Boom 4 was not worth the price. For home, the partyboxs are great but so big, also too big are the boombox, blast, motion boom plus, etc. The bose soundlink max is big but still pretty small in comparison and it sounds massive. Really easy to take room to room. The speakers that I am looking at that might replace it are the brane x, or the sony ht-ax7 for portable surround. Will be checking out the tribit lava soon.

Micro(2), Blast(2) and Lava are great. XSound Plus (2) and Stormbox(2) alright, but there are better speakers in that size imo. Stormbox Mini(2) just blows.

The Soundcore mini or Tribit Micro are good. They do run off the battery, but my main usuage of a Wonderboom is podcasts in the bathroom while showering or on a home office desk. Most of these speakers get 12 hours of use. So, I just recharge my speaker once a week for roughly an hour.
