StormBox Micro 2 Wireless Portable Speaker: 10W Loud Deep Bass Sound, IP67 Waterproof Bike Speaker with Bluetooth 5.3, 12H Playtime, TWS Pairing for Camping Travel Hiking

It’s always hard to judge any sort of speaker/headphone just from reviews but as a professional audio engineer and music producer, I’d like to give my thoughts. I have always loved Bluetooth speakers and have owned a lot of small speakers over the years (JBL, Anker, Bose, Oontz, etc.). While this speaker might not fit your needs, I’ll explain what I use this speaker for and my thoughts on it after owning it for a year. SOUND QUALITY I have spent a LOT of time with this speaker, both inside and outside, and I am very impressed with it. At first I wasn’t in love with the sound, but I managed to make a few tweaks that really helped me be happy with the sound. The best sound I’ve been able to get is by going into the app and making sure it’s set to the “Music” EQ followed by going into Spotify and boosting 60hz all the way on the “Equalizer” option in settings. For the types of music I listen to (country, pop, indie, rap, R&B, etc), this gets a nice full sound. While it can get quite loud, it really shines at lower volumes. I never go full volume on it as I don’t feel that is the intended use for speakers of this size. MY DAILY USES I personally find myself bringing it paddle boarding, camping, hiking, in showers, to hang out with friends, to the beach, and more. It’s super lightweight and easy to bring with you anywhere. I’ve had this thing fully submerged in water, in sand, in dirt, and it still works just like new. At first I wasn’t in love with the strap that it has but I now prefer it to the typical loop straps that speakers have. It’s very easy to hook it to backpacks/bags, paddle boards, tents, a shower rod, bikes, tree branches, etc. and is very sturdy. OTHER NOTES One of my friends has this speaker as well and when paired together, these sound even better. The range isn’t amazing when they’re connected, but I’ve been able to paddle board with this person and have the speakers stay connected the whole time. Another thing, the battery life on this thing is great. I have used this for entire trips and not had to charge it. NEGATIVES For anything where you’ll need higher volume (ex. parties, basketball, any larger indoor/outdoor space, etc.) this probably isn’t the right speaker. While this speaker can get loud enough for these things, you’d ideally want a larger speaker so that you can get a fuller sound. Any speaker that is this size just won’t have much bass, especially at loud volumes, so that’s not something specific to this speaker. FINAL THOUGHTS Overall, I think this speaker is great for this price and the size. Audio and music is my life so I have very sensitive and trained ears when it comes to this stuff. If that’s not the case for you, the minor differences might not actually make up for the higher price of this speaker when comparing it to some of the others of this size. For me though, it was totally worth it and I love my Tribit and hopefully you will too.

I was having a hard time choosing between this, and Oontz angle 3 Pro, and a Doss Soundbox Pro. Im looking for something primarily for the house to be used in a bedroom/office. EVERY SINGLE ONE WAS A WINNER and I wouldnt hesitate to choose any of the 3. Sound quality was very very....VERY comparable with each one and pretty much a wash (explained below). I dont like letting my batteries drain so I cant vouch for battery life on each one, but im not worried. Below is why I would choose each model, hopefully it helps you. Also if it matters, I listened to Radiohead-The National Anthem and Skrillex-Rumble to test the speakers. --Why I would choose this speaker (Tribit Stormbox Micro 2): This one is the most travel friendly. Its the smallest and has a strap across the backside of it so you can easily attach it to a backpack, bike, UTV/ATV or any type of bar....the straps so tight to the body of the speaker that you can even put it on something as small as a car antenna and itd hold securely. Since the strap is snug to the body it stays secured. They dont list the wattage and this had the lowest wattage of the bunch at 10w compared to the other 2 at 20w/21w each.....but it was without a doubt equally as loud as the other two with trebles and bass being on par with the other two. Id really like to see how loud and clean a tribit with higher wattage sounds if this 10w speaker matched the higher wattage speakers I compared it to in my test. --Why I would choose the Oontz Angle 3 Pro instead: This one was the biggest and beefiest which I am a fan off....but I dont want you to think its a brick. its still plenty light where it wont feel like a burden lugging it around. This one also has a ocean/boat theme color pattern which is sweet and almost swayed me since i will be using this on my boat too. The other thing that almost swayed me was that the speaker can be used as a powerbank!!! So this ones sound is just as good as the other but the standout features are the looks, and the fact that it can be used as a powerbank which can come in very handy. Its not included but they have a bracket mount that clamps on to stuff.......not sure how it would hold up to movement and things like that but there is that option out there. These can also be paired with other Oontz speakers for a multi speaker set up. --Why I would choose the Doss Soundbox Pro: I hate to admit it but the price....and I actually chose this one over the Tribit and Oontz after my sound tests. The sound was on par with the other 2 (similar wattage to the Oontz) and I liked this one just a hair more than the Oontz because it was a little crisper sounding where the Oontz was a little fuller...if that makes sense. So with the sound being the same, the fact that I could ALSO pair multiple Doss speakers for a multi speaker set up just like the Oontz (this is a great feature for when entertaining guests/having a small party/get-together), and considering I'd primarily be using this in a bedroom (where the powerbank wouldnt come in as handy like the Oontz has).....I had to choose this one. I didnt realize it was the cheapest until I had finished testing all 3 and went back to the invoice. This is the best bang for your buck speaker of the 3 and im big on value....but dont mind spending either if the value is there.

Range is very good. Standard setup as Bluetooth Device. Excellent value for the money at $50. Sound is comparable to more expensive units, like Bose and JBL, but smaller. Looks like a square hockey puck. I bought one of the original StormBox units back in 2020. Worked all day mounted to a bicycle handlebar. Loud enough to hear while hitting tennis balls at a wall. I bought a few more of the version 2, which are improved. The battery of the first one wore out a couple years ago. It sat around for a couple years, then I took it apart just for curiosity. Pried the grating off with a butter knife. Removed six little Phillips screws, pulled the innards apart. There was a little blue Li-Ion battery, with three wires and a little white plastic connector. With a bent needle nose pliers I pulled the plastic connector off, pulled off the welded connectors from the + and - ends. Then I looked for a replacement for the battery, figuring I would need to solder the ends. Luckily, I spotted this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FDRX87BF?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title $16. A replacement battery that looked exactly like the original, with a 3-wire connector! I bought it, put it in, and it works! Still, the original StormBox doesn't have the Bluetooth range of the StormBox 2. So, I will use it as a speaker in my old car, powering it with USB alongside my phone. Good for long drives and my own music. The old StormBox finds a new role. Happy ending.

Having had 3 Tribit buds before, I knew they were innexpensive with good to great sound/build quality. I settled on the Micro 2, and man I am glad I did! Easy to use. Excellent battery life. Good to great sound. Using my "Rocket Player" by JRT Studio apps built in configurable eq, music sounds better (to me) than the Tribit apps eq. LOUD! VERY loud! It can fill a 30 foot by 30 foot room better than my 3 speaker pioneer am/fm cd/casset ( 8" sub, 4" mids, 2 tweeters, 100w) stereo system. Lots of bass and mids though, not much highs, making it a bit muddy. Built right. Very heavy compared to jbl and other brands. Makes me think it has a preamp or amp inside, which is good. Its what you want with a quality speaker, like the speakers of the 80's n 90's. Also explains the weight of such a small bt speaker. Good price. Has a snappable rubber strap on one side, fixed on the other side, so you dont fumble with it attaching it to a backpack, belt loop, shower rod, bike handle bars, seat belt, or for putting cash or credit cards in it. Uses Siri commands for hands free. Pairs easy. Makes for a VERY good alarm also. My alarm clock isnt very loud, and I have been using this as my alarm speaker with my phone. VERY effective. But large/fat fingers might have trouble pressing the little indented buttons to turn it on and pair it for hands free driving in older vehicles. That and the fact that the speaker turns itself off if nothing is playing on it for a while are the only downsides to it (for me) as I wanted to use it in the car as a hands free calling and music player, as well as an in pocket hands free music and phone device that doesnt need wires and constant charging. EDIT: I dont know if its because I bought the Tribit boombox and downloaded the app for it, or if having my Rocket Player app on all the time now, but I have no issues with the speaker shutting itself off anymore. It stays on until I physically turn it off now. Sweet! That is why its 4 stars instead of 5. My friend said he can hear me very clearly, and I can hear him better than on my high end phone. Think I am going to get the shower version of this speaker, that can get really wet, and maybe the boombox for mowing the lawn, housework, and car repair. :D Would DEFINITELY reccomend to anyone, except maybe extreme audiophiles

The Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 has been greatly improved over the prior version and this is a class leader for small, portable, rugged, TWS speakers. Tribit has improved the sound clarity, soundscape, power in both volume and battery playtime, and better connection with BT 5.3. This newer version can even charge other electronic devices using it's USB port. The original Tribit Stormbox Micro was better than the Bose Soundlink Micro due to better base output, battery life and ruggedness at half the price of the Bose. If you bought the Bose, you wasted your money on a name and that's it. With the newer Tribit Stormbox Micro 2, the sound over the original is much clearer and louder due to an extra watt (10 versus 9 or 20 versus 18 if you have two paired as TWS which really showcases these micro speakers' performance.) The best way to describe the difference of the newer Micro 2 over the original is that the original Micro sounds a tad muffled on the high end. There is a noticeable crisper clarity with the Micro 2. The bass is also louder without being muddier. When playing them against each other (two TWS paired Micros vs two TWS paired Micro 2s,) its hard to believe the two pairs of speakers are not just from the same company, but from the same family (compared to Tribit's other offerings.) The improved sound is noticeable at most volumes, but more so when volume is at 40% on up.) The newer Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 speakers also work with Tribit’s app allowing you to customize the EQ setting. This definitely helps make the speakers shine even more and again, these speakers are a top notch improvement over the former model and the competitors just right out of the box. EQ adjustment is icing on the cake. If your budget can afford it, get two of the Micro 2 speakers. The Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 once paired remember each other and announce which is the left and which is the right channel speaker (it remains constant between them.) The TWS pairing process is a superior improvement over the prior model and listening to TWS with proper placement is so much more pleasurable than headphones or earbuds. Now add the additional performance of 12 hours of playtime vs. 8 of the original, better BT connection, and the charging function for relatively the same price and size (the Micro 2s are just a few MM thicker) and Tribit have hit a grand slam on this updated model. They did the same for their original GO speakers as well! Tribit is the best budget friendly speaker and headphone provider on the market. Well done Tribit! Well done!!!

Amazingly powerful compact speaker. Portable, easy to charge, great sound, surprisingly strong bass from such a small speaker. Reasonable price. Love it.

Short version: I've tried a passel of different speakers for listening to audio books. Hands down this provides the best volume and clarity. Longer version: I'm an older fella and my hearing isn't what it used to be. I enjoy listening to audio books. At home I just listen to my phone in speaker mode. At work, I use Sony over the ear headphones. When walking, I use Sony earbuds. But in my car, the phone's volume is insufficient to overcome the road noise. My car's sound system was replaced by a screen for a backup camera and the audio performance is awful. So I've been searching for a Bluetooth speaker that I can use in my car. That will let me hear the road, horns, sirens, etc., while still letting me listen to audio books. Most Bluetooth speakers seem to be heavily focused on the bass end of the audio spectrum. And for some types of music, that's probably desirable. But for my old ears, I need excellent clarity in the mid and high end. I've tried JBL, Bose, and Sony Bluetooth devices. And for some narrators, they work okay. But my benchmark is Wyrd Sisters (Terry Pratchett), narrated by Celia Imrie. Ms. Imrie has a soft voice and being female her voice seems to require good mid and high range audio response. And until I received the Tribit Stormbox Micro II I had almost given up on finding something that didn't make her voice sound muddy. Hands down the Tribit Stormbox Micro II sounds GREAT! I've now listened to hours of audio from both audio books, podcasts, Tune-in Radio, and Amazon Prime movies, and I just love the sound from this Tribit gadget. As an added bonus, I can use the 4.7 amp-hour batter in the Tribit speaker to charge my phone. Normally I don't need to do that, but every so often I'm out and having the Tribit as an extra battery pack feels like a nice bit of extra security. The USB-C plug is a rugged charging connector (way better than the USB-micro on one of my Bose speakers, and definitely better than the, now slightly broken, barrel connector on my Sony speaker). I heard the Tribit Stormbox Micro II can be paired with a second speaker to provide stereo. I have not used or tested this feature. But it seems like a nice thing to have if I wanted to sit outside and listen to music on my patio while working or reading. Given the price, adding a 2nd Tribit seems pretty reasonable to get stereo. I guess the only downside is that Tribit is if "buy American" is your thing, which it is for me if I have the option, Tribit might be a non-starter. But as far as I can tell, if I want a made in America Bluetooth speaker, I would have to solder that up myself.

I tested the Tribit StormBox Micro 2 side-by-side with the Bose SoundLink Micro (2nd Gen) and I ended up keeping the Tribit. I use during highway construction. Its loud enough. Sounds good indoors too. The rubber strap is good for the belt or bike. The Bose definitely sounds “nice” at first—smooth, balanced, and polished—but it also feels heavily processed. Everything sounds a bit compressed and controlled, like there’s a lot of DSP shaping the sound. Because of that, things like snare drums and transients don’t really cut through the mix the way they should. The Tribit, on the other hand, sounds more raw and alive. Snare hits in rock tracks actually crack and jump out at you instead of getting smoothed over. It feels less processed, with better dynamics and attack. The low end is also surprisingly strong for the size, without overpowering everything else. At the end of the day: Bose = smoother, more “polished” sound Tribit = more dynamic, punchy, and engaging For actual listening—especially rock—the Tribit just felt more natural and fun, so that’s the one I kept.

Good quality and sound

Excellent as a desktop speaker and the blue colour gives it a nice unique look.

Ich verwende schon eine Weile die Tribit Stormbox Micro und habe sie mir aufgrund der für mich zu geringen Akkulaufzeit mit einem etwas größeren Akku (Typ 18650 mit 3500 mAh statt der werksseitigen 2400 mAh) ausgestattet. Die neue Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 bringt einen noch größeren Akku (Typ 21700 mit 4700 mAh) direkt mit und ist soeben angekommen. Der Karton ähnelt dem der ersten Version stark, er ist genauso lang und breit (13x13 cm), aber zwei Millimeter dicker (6,5 vs. 6,3 cm). Der stabile Karton ist an der Unterseite mit zwei Klarsicht-Klebesiegeln versehen, die sich leicht mit einem Messer durchtrennen lassen, ohne den Karton zu beschädigen. Der Deckel lässt sich leicht abnehmen und darunter kommt die mehrsprachige Bedienungsanleitung zum Vorschein, auch Deutsch ist neben Englisch, Französisch, Spanisch, Italienisch, Japanisch und Chinesisch dabei. Unter der Anleitung liegt die in eine milchige Kunststofftüte gehüllte Stormbox Micro 2 in einem Pappeinsatz. Aus der Tüte geschält kommt einem von der Stormbox ein leicht chemischer Geruch entgegen. Wahrscheinlich sind das Ausdünstungen der Klebstoffe, die sich bald verflüchtigen dürften, denn schließlich ist die Stormbox Micro 2 fabrikneu. Unter der Stormbox befindet sich noch ein 60 cm langes USB A auf USB-C-Kabel. Die Stormbox Micro 2 ist minimal breiter und länger (je zwei Millimeter) als die erste Version und auch etwas dicker (5 mm). Sie misst etwa 10x10 cm und ist 4,5 cm dick. Am ehesten bemerkt man das leicht höhere Gewicht von 312 g gegenüber den 296 g der ersten Version. Auffälliger sind aber die leichten Designänderungen. Grundsätzlich ist das Design zwar sehr ähnlich, aber man merkt das Facelift als vielen Details, etwa den nun prägnanteren Bedienelementen und dem Silber glänzenden Schriftzug. Die Tasten lassen sich vor allen in dunkleren Umgebungen deutlich besser erkennen. Der IP67 Staub- Wasserschutz ist geblieben. Die Oberschale besitzt nach wie vor einen Stoffbezug in Schwarz mit grauen Kontrasten. Die gummierte untere Schale ist bei der neuen Version nun Schwarz statt dunkelgrau, was etwas edler wirkt. Auch die Riffelungen auf der Unterseite sind etwas anders gestaltet. Die praktische Haltschlaufe auf der Unterseite ist bei der Mirco 2 etwas straffer, was aber auch daran liegen könnte, dass sie etwas neuer ist. Damit lässt sich die Box beispielsweise wunderbar an einem Fahrradlenker, Oberrohr oder Zaun befestigen. Die Gummifüße auf der Unterseite sind ebenfalls geblieben, sie halten jedoch etwas besser. Dank der Füße vibriert die Box auf Untergründen nicht. Die neue Stormbox 2 bietet einige Vorteile: Etwas mehr Musikleistung (10 W statt 9 W), einen deutlich größeren Akku und eine Möglichkeit, die Box mit der Tribit-App steuern zu können. Dank des größeren Akkus spielt die Box einerseits viel länger. Wie lange genau, ist stark von der Lautstärke abhängig. Bei 50 % Lautstärke spielt meine 12 Stunden, während meine alte Stormbox mit dem eingebauten größeren Akku nach 8 Stunden schlapp macht. Die Restkapazitätsanzeige des Akkus ist allerdings ziemlich ungenau. Sie wird per Bluetooth zwar in 10%-Schritten angezeigt, fällt aber die ersten Stunden nur sehr langsam. Selbst nach 11 Stunden Spielzeit sind es noch 50 %, während eine Stunde später 20 % angezeigt werden, wo die Box bereits Akku leer meldet. Zudem lässt sich die Stormbox Micro 2 sogar als Powerbank verwenden, lädt also externe Geräte. Dafür benötigt man jedoch einerseits ein passendes Kabel und andererseits habe ich nicht mehr als 6,5 Watt Ladeleistung gemessen (ca. 4,9 V 1,3 A). Während ein Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite 5G und Realme GT geladen wurden, klappte es bei einem Sony Xperia XZ3 nicht, dort betrug die Ladeleistung trotz nur halb vollem Smartphoneakku lediglich 1 Watt. Bei 60 % und weniger Akkukapazität der Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 hat die Ladefunktion bei mir allerdings ausgesetzt. Laut Anleitung soll sie im Betrieb eigentlich bis 50 % Akkukapazität externe Geräte laden, ausgeschaltet sogar bis 30 % runter. Zeit, das Aufladen zu testen: Das erfolgt über die offen liegende USB-C-Buchse mit 12 V und 1 A, also 12 W. Ganz leer benötigt sie etwa 2 Stunden und 15 Minuten zum vollständigen Aufladen. 22,75 Wh zeigte mein Messgerät am Ende des Ladevorgangs an, wobei Ladeverluste mit inbegriffen sind. Übrigens lässt sich die Stormbox auch beim Aufladen weiterverwenden. Mit externer Stromquelle steht einem unbegrenzten Musikgenuss also nichts im Wege. Apropos Musikgenuss: Der Klang der Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 ist absolut identisch zur Vorgängerversion, sie spielt lediglich in der Spitze minimal lauter. Bis etwa 50 % Lautstärke klingt sie sehr ausgewogen mit einem guten Bass, ausgewogenen Mitten und differenzierten Höhen. Bei höheren Lautstärken kommt dann der Bass nicht mehr mit. Apropos Bass: Der Frequenzgang startet bei 70 Hz. Ganz tiefe Frequenzen spielt sie also nicht oder nur sehr leise. Ich habe aber nur ein Musikstück finden können, wo das leicht auffällt (Doin‘ it Right von Daft Punk, bei dem der dritte Bassschlag ca. bei Sekunde 27 nur leicht hörbar ist). Für die geringe Größe ist der Klang auf jeden Fall wunderbar und locker das Geld wert. Apropos Geld: Dank 30 % Gutschein, den Tribit vor dem Produktlaunch an alle per E-Mail registrierten Interessenten verteilt hat, habe ich lediglich 42 Euro bezahlt. Aber auch den Normalpreis von 60 Euro wäre die Box für mich wert. Da ich auch die alte Tribit Stormbox Micro besitze, habe ich natürlich auch den Party- und den Stereomodus ausprobiert. Zwar steht in der Bedienungsanleitung, dass das nur mit zwei Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 funktioniert, aber es funktioniert auch mit einer Mischung aus der ersten und zweiten Version. Holla die Waldfee, gemeinsam machen die ordentlich Alarm! Der Stereomodus funktioniert aber nur richtig, sofern die Micro 2 der Stereomaster ist. Ist dagegen die alte Version der Master, spielt die Micro 2 beide Kanäle und die alte nur den linken. Ist die Micro 2 der Master, dann spielt sie den linken Kanal und die alte Micro den rechten. Als Pärchen klingen die beiden Boxen erst recht wunderbar! Die Steuertasten arbeiten bei zwei verbundenen Boxen synchron und beide Boxen spielen auf nahezu demselben Lautstärkepegel. Die Stereobasis ist ganz leicht nach rechts verschoben, weil die Stormbox Micro 2 minimal lauter spielt. Apropos Tasten: Die mittlere Steuertaste löst je nach Modus (Musik hören oder telefonieren) verschiedene Funktionen aus. So lässt sich die Musik anhalten, weiterspielen, zum nächsten und vorherigen Titel springen oder ein Sprachassistent starten (Siri & Co, nicht getestet). Die Tribit-App funktioniert nur mit der neuen Stormbox Micro 2. Mit ihr lässt sich die Firmware anzeigen, meine Box hat die Version 0.1.8. Ob auch Updates möglich sind, wird die Zukunft zeigen. Vielleicht verbessert Tribit die Akkuanzeige noch mit einem Update, wünschen würde ich mir das. Zudem ist es möglich, Equalizer einzustellen, die sich nur direkt auf die Box auswirken, nicht auf andere Audiogeräte, auch nicht auf die alte Version. Nutzt man also ein gemischtes Paar im Stereo- oder Partymodus, dann wirken die Equalizer nur auf der neuen Version. Neben dem Standardequalizer mit angehobenen Bässen und leicht angehobenen Höhen gibt es auch einen Hörbuchmodus mit angehobenen Mitten und weniger Bass sowie Höhen. Zudem lässt sich ein Custom-Equalizer auf den Bändern 80, 160, 320 und 640 Hz sowie 1,28, 2,5, 5, 9 und 15 kHz individuell im Bereich von je +/- 6 dB anpassen. Eine weitere Funktion der App ist die Möglichkeit, das automatische Abschalten auf eine feste Zeit umzustellen, also quasi ein Sleep-Timer. Wie bei der alten Version lässt sich auch bei der Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 die obere Schale mit sanfter Gewalt abhebeln, das funktioniert beispielsweise gut mit einem dünnen, aber stabilen und breiten Metallspachtel. Man sieht im Vergleich zur alten Version deutlich, dass die neuere einen größeren Lautsprecher besitzt, die passive Bassmembran ist hingegen gleichgroß. Löst man die sieben Kreuzschrauben, lässt sich die Box öffnen, um beispielsweise den Akku auszutauschen. Da eine Lithium-Ionen-Zelle in der Standardgröße 21700 verwendet wird, kann man günstig Ersatz besorgen, falls der Akku mal an Altersschwäche leiden sollte.
