Just get the Tribit Stormbox 1. It's the best value for money.
While I love the flex the bass is sometimes overwhelming I think the best for you is bang Olufsen a1. Though it's not stereo but it has separate tweeter. Maybe motion 300 but I m not sure because I had it for a small period of time.
Ah. I don't know what the current gen of tribit stormbox sounds like - I have the og (then known as xboom) and like it, its 2 drivers fire out left and right so it's somewhat 360. Basically it's a taller version of what you've got but sounds a lot better. Unfortunately you managed to pick one of the few acknowledged duds in Tribit's lineup with that speaker.
just received my s89 today, it's straight ass. I prefer the sound quality of my Tribit Stormbox so much more than this. the bass is sloppy so it's all high treble and muddy bass, but you don't even feel the bass it's just flop of the passives. anyone who swings this so hard is obviously a paid shill for the company.
I’d second the Tribit Stormbox also; I feel like it has so much power behind it and you can crank it pretty loud before it’s sound quality begins to suffer.
Stormbox is nice for sure. I own two
I recommend tribit stormbox
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.
I had a Tribit Stormbox. Awesome bass and that was the best boombox you could get for under $200 IMO. Earfun Uboom X is my go to budget blaster now but if you need something more portable and lighter than 9lbs check out some reviews of the Soundcore Boom 2 or even more compact Bose flex2.
I am guessing it was little can sized Tribit Stormbox that is about the size of the JBL Flip. Look at the Soundcore Boom 2 for a good upgrade in output. A Tribit Lava would also be a decent upgrade.
