Just bear in mind that if your budget is bigger then there are absolutely better-sounding speakers out there.
The Tribit StormBox 2 very much colors inside of the lines when it comes to design.
Despite this, I was pleasantly surprised by the Tribits performance.
There are more features where that came from, too.
But perhaps the StormBox 2s most impressive party trick is its battery life.
This speaker has serious playing power.
Is it the best-sounding speaker on the market?
Fortunately, what you get is very generous, considering the price youll pay.
Want even more room-filling sound?
Youre in luck: you’ve got the option to chain several StormBox 2s together.
It’s possible to augment the sound in other ways as well.
Tribit estimates the speaker will last you up to 24 hours of solid listening time.
Thomasby Sonny Rollins, I was instantly struck by how crisp and immediate the toms sounded.
All in all, I have little to complain about when it comes to the middle of the mix.
This hypothesis was borne out when probing the lower frequencies the speaker could manage.
Its just a little too soft to have any impact, like being hit by a cotton-candy cannonball.
Fortunately, there is a way to take care of this.
Flicking on XBass mode helped mitigate some of that wooliness.
Not bad for $135.98 / 120 / AU$258, all in.
There are no vibrant color options on offer here, either.
But not every speaker has to be an aesthetic revolution.
The Tribit is also suitably rugged.
You cant expect the kind of precision and quality that pricier components and less lossy codecs can deliver.
However, what the StormBox 2 does for its price is seriously impressive.
If youre wanting thumping bass or audiophile-grade sound, youll have to spend a bit more to get it.
Should you buy the Tribit StormBox 2?
Anyone who doesnt want to compromise on sound quality should be looking to invest in a higher-end speaker.
If you want a Bluetooth speaker that draws comment, this may not be the one for you.
But in return for that price, it offers a whole lot.
