Love Tribit! We got the StormBox Micro and it sounds really good for being so small. I love that it has a strap to mount it to bike handles. I have a JBL roughly the same size and I think the Tribit has a better bass. And it was cheaper than the JBL too. The StormBox Micro is going on 6 years with moderate use.
I've pretty much almost leaned away from the big brands, but now it's Soundcore vs Tribit...have had two of the Tribit Micros and think they're amazing for the size, price. Only thing is for party mode, no one has Tribits, everyone has JBL, and I frequent some dance parties where it's nice everyone can just party mode their JBLs. Think Soundcore has more party mode compatible speakers than Tribit? Like Tribit has to be same speaker.
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.
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.
Biggest outdoor speaker I would consider that does not cost a fortune and fits in a backpack is the Tribit Lava. There are blue JBL Charge 6 speakers at Walmart for $119. Those are popular and fairly compact, (tiny bit smaller than the $56 Earfun Uboom L). I normally use a little Tribit Stormbox Micro for personal use outdoors. Love the form factor and think sound is good for the size. You can get a pair of those little suckers from aliexpress for around $70.
My original model from Tribit is holding up great, zero issues with the battery/sound after about 4 years of occasional use. My buddy just lost his BT speaker and needs something for his bicycle asap otherwise I would keep it. The only speaker of this size that i know of that beats the Tribit Micro 1 in sound quality is the Tribit Micro 2. Good quality/design & better value than UE & JBL imo. You have to step up to a larger & heavier speaker to get anything that sounds better. Some people on this forum have a beef with Earfun but the $50 Uboom L is another good sounding high value speaker that just killed it in every speaker shootout on youtube and is the next size up from the Tribit micro.
I own tweeters bigger than x-sound go. The Tribit has plenty of high end but I think the bigger Soundcore Motion Plus is my favorite compact speaker for vocals. Tribit stormbox micro and Minirig Mini are other speakers to consider if you pick up a pair for stereo.
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.
> 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.
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.
Megablast weighs 2.4lbs (About the same weight as my Soundcore Motion plus. I have a .6lb Tribit Micro that does a nice job for its size but it does not have much bass outdoors. (It straps on to handlebars easily). A speaker like the JBLflip weighs about 1lb and has more bass than my little Tribit. The Earfun Uboom L is just a little bit heavier than a Flip but has better sound and costs less. At 1.4lbs it is a whole lb. less than the Megaboom. The small Uboom will sound better than the Tribit Micro or any of the extra small speakers so I would consider that option if you want something significantly smaller than a hyperboom that does not sacrifice your sound .
The OG Tribit Stormbox is a 1.2lb speaker. The Jbl Flip 6&7 and the Earfun Uboom L are about the same size/weight and get good reviews. Soundcore Motion 300 and Bose Soundlink Flex are also popular compact speakers. I use a smaller Tribit Micro when on the go and it sounds really good considering how small it is.
If you have the space for bookshelf speakers I would check out the Dayton Audio B65A ($120 at Parts Expres.). They have a retro wood design that looks great to me. These are powered monitors with 6.5" woofers which should pump out enough bass that you will not really need a subwoofer in most rooms. They are not tiny speakers Wire them directly to your phone/computer for movies and critical listening and use the built in BT for casual listening. These should sound better than any $300 battery powered BT speaker and you will still have $180 left in your budget for portables which is enough to get both a midsize Tribit Lava & compact Tribit Micro or combination of other battery powered portables.

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 makes some nice speakers for the price. Stormbox, Xsound, or Stormbox micro if you want a smaller size. All under $100. I just ordered a Xiaomi 30w out of curiosity, which was about $60 CAD
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.
I have the same one. Been on top of Canadian mountains covered in dust from riding ATVs and it's been fully submerged on a sailboat in the Caribbean. Best bang for your buck speaker on earth
I have a tribit storm box micro. One of my best electronics purchases ever. Such a big sound for a tiny speaker. Have had it for years, took it all over the world on travels, mount it on my bicycle when I go for rides. Been exposed to rain, sand etc and still going strong.
Look into tribit! Sobrang sulit nya para sakin. Very good audio quality that wont break the bank.i have the tribit storm box micro.
