Tribit - XSound Plus 2

I consider my tribit x sound plus 2 to be quite smol. Best bass and best bang for buck speaker in today’s time according to me.

Tribit x sound plus 2 checks all the boxes and then some. Portable AF, its smol. Durability: it’s one of the only speakers in that size that doesn’t have exposed bass radiators like jbl,sony,uboom,etc. it is water proof for handling a splash. Also the best part is you can make it sound like any other brand’s sound signature that you prefer via the EQ option in its app. I use mine with aux mostly and sometimes via Bluetooth. It sounds equally good via both connections tho. It sounds like a proper hifi system is being played if you hide the speaker and ask someone lol. If you’re budget isn’t limited then you can also buy two to play in tandem, I am contemplating to do the same, just waiting for a sale/discount to buy a second one. The only problem is that it needs at least 40-50 hours of music playback initially to burn in and drivers to open up and sound as good as they now, also manual EQ sounds best, preset EQs provided in app sound pretty quite.

On paper I don’t know, in real life I experienced no latency watching movies with tribit x sound plus 2

Yes and it should easily fit your budget. According to me it is the best sounding speaker under 100$ and it’s got app support which translates to equaliser,firmware updates,sound on off options, speaker auto off function. And aux capability,Bluetooth 5.3. Basically you get this and you’re set for a decade lol.

I’ve used it with aux a fee times so there’s obviously no latency with that. But 90% of the time I use it with Bluetooth and never faced any latency while watching movies or series with these connected to tv via Bluetooth.

I can vouch for tribit x sound plus 2.

No idea about how it compares but I’ve heard in reviews that uboom L’s bass seems hollow and doesn’t go as deep. Tribits bass I can actually feel in my bed when its playing on the bedside table

Id wait for amazon great Indian festival sale in October and it might go down to its launch price of ₹3400

You’re in luck that the best speaker (yes it has aux and phenomenal sound quality) under 80$ is being sold around 50 right now. You may also use my coupon “JTDNLXSK” for additional discount. Here is the link https://tribit.com/products/tribit-xsound-plus-2-portable-bluetooth-speaker

In that size category I haven’t heard deeper bass than tribit stormbox flow or tribit x sound plus 2 while saving you some money. Both of them retail for around ₹6-7k. Also once they arrive, let them burn in for a month before you judge. The difference after burn in is night and day literally. Plus in they both support app connectivity in which you should drag each bar in equaliser to ‘+5’. Cheers !

After the burn in, Low end is most definitely there and its nice and tight like bose

I got the tribit x sound 2 and after a week of burn in it sounds better than eonderboom 2 upto 70% volume. That too only indoors. For louder volumes and overall better sound outdoors, wonderboom is more versatile.

I got it for about $41 (3400 rupees) and after a month of burn in with the equaliser I have set (increase all bars to +5) it sounds so pleasant and great, more than value for money !

Tribit doesn’t sell directly where I’m at. I got it from amazon and loved the speaker later on so much that I got one more lol.

I don’t experience any.

I already got 2 and love em post EQing the sound according to my taste 🙂

Tribit x sound plus 2 according to me is the best sounding speaker under not just 5 but ₹10k

I can vouch for this in terms of having the best sound in any small speaker under not just 5k but even under 15k. Also if you want to go below 4k then go for soundcore x100 or tribit stormbox flow.

2018-I used to think highly of UE brand and got a wonderboom 2 which I loved to the core. How loud it could get without any distortion at all. 2024 I got a tribit x sound plus 2 just because I wanted to try something different and it was on sale for just $41 and I found it pretty flat and boring sounding. Not cheap and tiny like Chinese speakers/brands but not better than wonderboom. I kept the speaker anyways, set an equaliser with all frequencies turned to ‘+5’ and used the speaker for a month. Even though I used to think speaker burn in period is a placebo and it’s just my ears getting used to its sound signature but nope the tribit speaker when once again compared to wonderboom 2 after a month or burn in it blew the wonderboom out of the water by miles ! It’s sound separation became crystal clear while the bass got bigger and deeper simultaneously making my wonderboom sound harsh in comparison now lol. So yes you can get better than UE for probably half the price. Cheers !

Agreed ! I used to think highly of my wonderboom 2 and thought it was well worth the price until I heard tribit x sound plus 2 which costed way less and sounds like speakers three times the price of wonderboom lol

Tribit x sound plus 2 sounds great indoors. Sounds like a proper hifi system is playing at low volume. Very small in size and looks like beats pill in terms of form factor. Costs less and has companion app for features like manual eq, you can set sleep timer so that it can switch off while playing white noise/podcast, or you could keep it switched on 24x7 or let it switch off in 15 minutes if nothing is playing, firmware updates are easy via app, if you don’t feel like getting out of the cozy bed and speaker is far away you can switch it off via the app lol. Only issue is that it initially needs at least 30-40 hours of music play back as a burn in, post that it’s sound quality really shines ! I am contemplating to get a second one to play in tandem.

Tribit x sound plus 2 sounds great at half the price of your budget.

Tribit speakers actually sound like you’re playing a very big hifi speaker at low volume. Also there’s some discounts these days due to prime day sale. Tribit x sound plus 2 is the one I have and it sounds amazing for all the genres of music you mentioned. If that is available under 50$ then definitely go for it otherwise tribit stormbox Micro.

Go with this if it is available wherever you are. If unfortunately it isn’t then only the next best thing is tribit x sound plus 2 if you want stereo, stormbox if you want 360 sound and stormbox flow if you want good but mono sound. Cheers !

I have only heard motion 300 on youtube speaker comparison videos. I personally own two tribit x sound plus 2 speakers (yes I loved one of thos so much in terms of sound quality that I bought one more) so I can vouch for x sound plus 2 and I have suggested it to numerous people on this sub and they all loved it ! Also if you do end up buying it, let me know, I’ll share the best 3 equalisers (1-bass up, 2-balanced and 3-dialogue) for that particular speaker. Cheers !

So I got the speakers a few hours ago and after listening to it for around 1.5 hours I’ll say that my 3 year old wonderboom 2 which has apparently 17watts according to google, sounds much better and fuller than this ‘newer’ 30w speaker from tribit. I just called up amazon to initiate return as I’m dissatisfied and the sound and overall volume is wayyyy below my expectations. I thought I was upgrading from wonderboom but this is a true downgrade if I keep it. Alan Ross says he’s currently testing the new preset which I also heard on the speaker and it sounded lifeless just like most other presets because it seems the “new” drivers used aren’t more capable than the xsound go (the mini one) if not lesser tbh. Feels like they took cheaper drivers and forced DSP to drive them. The speaker sounds ok at 50% volume but below and above that it’s trash. Obvious bird’s ranking for this at 55 seems apt. I wonder where wonderboom 2 stands on their ranking because to me that sounds perfect for a small speaker.

Flip 6 should cost lesser than x sound plus lol. Tribit is giving better sound (like bose sound signature), more features like app connectivity, firmware updates, 9 band equaliser, sleep timer auto shut down, hardware eq button etc etc.if we ignore all these additional features and judge purely basis on sound even then tribit is far better. It sounds like a proper hifi system is playing. If someone would ask me which speaker would you take if both flip 6 and x sound plus 2 were free of cost, I’d pick up tribit any day. I can make my tribit sound like bose,jbl or however I want via different EQs. Contemplating to buy one more to play in tws mode.

All I know is that tribit x sound plus 2 sounds very quite and flat out of the box and also with preset equalisers provided by tribit. It’s sounds amazing in terms of bass and volume only post using custom eq. I’m not sure maxsound plus has an option to set a custom eq and all the other benefits like firmware updates, being able to set a timer to switch the speaker off or switch it off via the app or option to let the speaker stay on or auto off when nothing’s playing etc etc. basically all the features that come via tribit app connectivity, most importantly sound enhancement because I’m sure I can tune my x sound plus 2 to sound better than max sound plus any day via custom eq.

I’d recommend tribit x sound plus 2. This speaker will set you for at least a decade, while sounding phenomenal and saving some bucks too. It’s got a stereo sound and deep bass in a very small package,app support from which you can update firmware, set equaliser, toggle switch on switch off sounds, set timer for auto switch off, etc. or you can simply place it on a desk and play music via aux cable like I do. In future if you wish you can get one more to play music in tandem (that’s what I’m contemplating to do lol). The fact that you can make this speaker sound like bose,jbl,Marshall via eq, its that versatile.

If you can try a tribit x sound plus 2, it will resolve most of these issues. Source : I have it and switched off the “tones” altogether. The buttons on top are a little more prominent and EQ button even has 3 light colors to differentiate between which eq you’re using. Battery at zero, speaker will play music as soon as it’s plugged in. The sound is good from all directions even though it is a directional speaker. Aux cable doesn’t need to be removed for Bluetooth music playback. Back flap for ports is the easiest operable I’ve used yet (on sony and UE speakers it almost broke my nails & patience). Lastly firmware updates happen via tribit app not a laptop/cable etc. also EQ manoeuvring can get it to sound like Bose, JBL, Marshall or however you want !

My tribit x sound plus 2 has 30w of stereo(2 front facing speakers 15w each with a bass radiator in the middle and an additional bass radiator at the back). Also the wonderboom 2 I use has two speakers on each side and I could actually feel the left and right channels pushing separate sound effects while watching movies when connected to it. Even the tribit one when kept in front of you and playing dolby atmos stereo sound check passes it with flying colors.

Tribit x sound plus 2 fits the bill while sounding exactly like bose soundlink/flip 6 and costing 1/4th. Also it doesn’t have exposed bass radiator which means you won’t have to worry about bass radiators getting pushed in/ damages while travelling.

Forgot a few more things, the form factor is like a small soundbar and stereo separation is perfect! I would suggest whichever option you go with do check if the speaker is mono like flip 6 and soundlink or stereo so that when you’re sitting in front of the PC you’ll be able to hear left sounds on left and right ones towards right. Cheers !

So Id suggest you upgrade to the latest firmware and set your own eq by raising all of the frequency bars to “+5” and assign this eq as default for the hardware eq button as well. This eq brings out the volume and bass to its true potential like none of the presets provided by tribit do. Glad to se you got great sound while saving some money, cheers !

I have a Tribit Xsound plus 2 and it sounds great inside. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CKXQBFWZ I also have the older model of it, the Max sound plus. I would bring it to my old job and co workers would be impressed on the sound it had playing in a grocery store before we opened. But I dropped it in there and it doesn't sound the same now.

Tribit xsound plus 2, just got it for around 1600 pesos during the sale.

Check for flash sale and vouchers, got mine from lazada.

Bro got this in the recent sale , 4500 and 10% off , all features are working as expected unlike Uboom L. I got Alan ross's EQ , is that the best sounding ?

Yes saw your post , i am yet to try this setting , i like Alan's setting except that bass seems a bit too loud.

Yeah just buy it on a sale, I bought it recently on a sale and everyone in my family is loving it

In addition to the speakers mentioned in the other comments, i can now confirm that the Tribit Xsound Plus 2 also has settings in the Tribit mobile app that can permanently disable all sounds (the speaker remembers the settings) ... I imagine all Tribit speakers that are supported by the Tribit mobile app can have sounds disabled. I ordered the Tribit as well for testing, mostly because it has a much longer battery life and a handy EQ switch button to quickly switch between modes. Also has a fresh new firmware but no idea if that makes it more neutral or not. This Tribit speaker looks and sounds pretty great so far. I like that the mini subwoofer is in the back, so it can be placed near a wall for added oomph without compromising the rest of the sound spectrum. I also ordered the Earfun UBoom L, Anker Soundcore Motion+, Anker Soundcore Boost -- yet to test

Just go for it. It will be one of those best products you have ever bought

Tribit X sound 2, if you want to save some bucks and get similar quality + more functions (App support with plenty of options to play with, fully customisable EQ etc.)

It's one of the best speakers I have had till date. It's not loud like other 30w speakers but the sound is so pleasant. It never gets tiring, I can listen to it for hours at stretch.

I bought Tribit xsound plus 2. It's really good, has aux input, Custom EQ and many other features. Would definitely recommend it

2 Soundcore Boom 2, 1 Tribit Xsound Plus 2, 2 Jeecoo M30 desktop speakers and 1 JBL Clip 3.

I bought the Xsound Plus 2 too. Its nice but felt it was a little overpriced here in India for Rs. 6700 ( $80 USD )

Bass is just excellent but if you compare with jbl sound quality is not so good but according to price worth buying if you are bass lover just go for it.

Got mine for about 44 dollars (2599 pesos). The normal sound quality sounds fine. The Xbass definitely sounds too boomy and heavy but I think it is because of the acoustics in my house.

New software update has been released and I'd say I like the xbass off preset which is the default. Before it sounded really really thin. It just makes me want to switch the xbass on. Now it sounds a bit thicker and bassier.

Wait isn't that going to increase the volume also? Did you try playing it in max vol? Im scared, I might break mine...

Oh okay, at least I know my speaker will be fine. I did try the all max preset and it kind of sounds like the Maxsound Traditional preset.

Have you tried flat preset? It sounds like it has more bass then the "Xbass Off"

I just got one and it’s a decent shower speaker. Not really great for outdoors though

Tribit Xsound go, If you want it to be small Tribit Xsound plus 2 if you want boomboom Try the code (Freefool) at checkout for a discount, maybe it still works

I just ordered mine It's gonna be awesome

It sounds fine and the input lag is minimized so thats a plus

I've been using it for the past few days and I really like It sound wise, dont know about battery (i dont listen to music for such long periods of time anymore) but you should know I used a range of Tribit speakers. It started with the release of first version of xsound go I would not buy those again: The Stormbox (shitty battery life, sounds ok) And Stormbox Pro ( too much for my taste but is loud and sounds good). XSound Go was the deal, Maxsound Plus is also dope (heavy if you mean to keep it in your pocket for longer than an hour or two) So with all that in mind the speaker sits at a solid 9/10 sound wise compared to other speakers (I dislike the eq button)

best is relative. great sound for money value you get with soundcore motion plus or tribit xsound plus 2. But then you moght want tuse teh app and try ew settings. best portabilty and out of the boy usability ou get with jbl flip 6, ue wonderboom, or sony ult field 1. The latter is a little bigger than the others, but includes speakerphone, a flexile strap and vertical and horizontal positioniong, so its the most practical one.

I collect small bluetooth speakers. Over the years i keep trying new brands. I'm impressed with the Tribit XSound Plus 2 and even better for its great low price and 24H battery which there isn't many with that high battery. Clean sound and bass and the bass boost really thumps. It also has aux which is why I was looking around for a smaller speaker with aux because there isn't many besides the UBoom L which i also have but I also have a bunch of Soundcore like the Mini 3 and Motion 300 but theres no aux. I'm also looking to add the Tribit StormBox 2 which is another small speaker from them and it also has aux but it looks more durable and for travel and outdoor. From other brands those more durable and outdoor ones are made for travel and party uses are more bass focused and not as clean audio so have to compare but right now XSound Plus 2 I'm impressed.

Second this, hidden gem and one of the longest battery life on a speaker that size. Could also go with Soundcore and the Motion 300 but Tribit X Sound 2 is 24H while Soundcore is 13H

Thanks for the rec, and for seemingly reading through that rant of a post! That was my 2nd choice, kicking myself a bit now. It does look like a more natural successor to my Soundcore 2. I drove that thing until the wheels fell off (battery pooped)

I got it for free on amazon, can u help me out with the eq settings. I enjoy it out of the box but would love ot if the sound can be made clearer with bass more punchy

Just got my Xsound Plus 2 today and out of the box, the default preset EQs were very much a let down. Then, I set all the EQs to +5 as OP has suggested in a lot of comments and BAAAAM. Man, it shines now. The preset EQs almost mask the true potential of the speaker. I've been listening to it for 5-6 hours now any I'm pretty happy with it :)

I received my Tribit xsound plus 2 speaker today and this my first speaker and I don’t have any experience of Tribit maxsound plus Sood not know how good or bad this is from maxsound plus. I got it for 3,300 INR after the coupon code of early bird offer and for this price point it is stealer but still it is worth to buy if it is below 5,000 INR in India, I heard songs before and after the firmware update and I can clearly see the difference after the update surely it worth and it is loud too but below 50% volume you can hardly hear anything but still beyond the 50% it is surely one of the loudest speaker of its size and at 100% I didn’t experience any distortion also the bass is good. The real game changer is the app support and custom equalisation ability of the speaker the maxsound plus eq does a fine job and from it you can further customise the eq and fine tune it to your likings and I done mine and I have no issues. I would rate it 4 out of 5. If you can get it below 5000 INR it is worth a buy in my view. Thank you

I would rate it 4.5 out of 5 and 0.5 less only for the volume levels below 50% which makes practically useless to Reduce or increase below 50% of volume but it is a minor issue or can be bug in my one hope will improve in future updates if not also it’s okay because after 50% we can play with the levels which works fine and can be loudest of the segment in 100% volume without any distortion. If you can get it below 4,500 or 5000 INR it is worth a buy in my view. Thank you

I got this speaker and found it to be the only small size speaker with the same type of deep bass as the HK Onyx Studio. Obviously, it doesn't have the same epic sound as the Onyx as it's small, but it has the same type of defined deep bass.

Haven't burned it in yet. Impressive though, as I haven't heard that kind of bass from other speakers that size.

Soundcore and Tribit will work well within your budget. Tribit i personally like the Xsound plus 2 and its on sale right now at Amazon for 52 bucks and Tribit Stormbox Flow for 55

Agree, I have this speaker too. The latency via aux is almost imperceptible when I'm connecting it to my laptop or when playing my synthesizer (it's 16ms in Alan Ross' testing)

5 minutes auto off (when bluetooth disconnected) and 15 minutes auto off (bluetooth connected but no notification sounds/operation/music playing)

Sadly no. One way to mitigate this is to keep playing some music on the background (lower the volume). As long as there is sound playing on the speaker, however low the volume, it will stay on.

Hey sorry man I just realized there is a toggle for this auto off feature on the Tribit app! So it won’t be a problem for you then

Yes just tried this

I took your reccy mate, it's a really nice size and sounds great. What EQ settings are you using? I'm on firmware 2.5

Thanks Nathan, I think that's a deal breaker for me though! Cba to make sure something is always playing, and often my pc goes to sleep etc. Thanks though :)

Thanks mate, I ended up getting a Tribit x sound plus 2. It sounds great so far!

Boom 2. I know you said you are not fond of the looks, but it definitely has more bass then the original Boom, is clearer, and around the same size. If size and weight ain’t a factor though, I would recommend the Boom plus 2 or Boom plus (Tribit Stormbox Blast as the best option)
