TribitStormBox Flow Bluetooth Speaker, Portable Wireless Speaker with XBass, 30H Playtime, IP67 Waterproof, Bluetooth 5.3, TWS, Custom EQ, Type-C for Outdoor Travel Beach

I did a test of a stereo pair of these against a stereo pair of Bose SoundLink Flex (2nd gen), and they are genuinely very very good.I am not an audio expert by any means, but I am a music lover. My goal was a stereo pair of bluethooths with an emphasis on quality over loudness. I did not want a single stereo "boombox" or similar because I want to spread them far apart in the room to create a "soundscape."In researching, I narrowed my options to this product, Bose SoundLink Flex and Soundcore Motion+. (The Soundcore has not yet arrived. I may or may not edit this review to include info about that comparison too.) Note that cost is a major factor, and when I bought these, they were exactly half the price of the USED Bose speakers you see pictured here.Sound quality:Bose have it, which is not surprising. What is surprising is that occasionally, the Tribits sounded better than the Bose. Complex mids and highs sound muddier on these than the Bose, but when it was simple or bassy, these were often as good as and sometimes better. Believe me though, comparisons aside these sound objectively good, especially for the price.Battery:I am not about to test claims, but in my limited testing, it appears battery claims are accurate on both products, which means the Tribit speakers last more than twice as long on a single charge. That said, 12 hours on the Bose is more than enough for me. If these had less capacity, they may weigh less, which would not be a bad thing.Usability:The app does not make you share all your personal details before you can use it fully, which is always nice, and it was intuitive and easy to use.I want to say that Tribit have done a good job on the stereo mode functionality. Pairing them together is easy, and they remember that they were paired when you turn them on again, which is a nice touch. Another nice touch is that when you turn one off in stereo mode, they both go off. The Bose don't do this, which feels like an oversight. I appreciate thoughtful touches, and I found myself pleased a number of times with the Tribits.Looks:They don't turn heads. The Bose look nice and come in attractive colours. These are drab and grey and boring, but hey, they're not art, they're just some speakers.Conclusion:The cost makes these utterly compelling. If you cannot justify $200-300+ to spend on a pair of Bose, but these are in your budget, go for it! You will not be disappointed. They are undeniably good value. Well-made, functional, solid, well-packaged even.

Great sound for the volume levelsDurable constructionGood battery lifeResponsive buttonsPlays music at almost max volume for about 6 hoursBeen using daily for a bit more than a year now at high volume most the time and it performs great

There's a ton of competition in portable speakers, so price matters a lot. At the time of writing this, this speaker runs $80 normally and ~$60 on sale. At $60, it's pretty good, very competitive with a nice mix of features. $80 opens it up to a lot more competition and while I think it is still a decent buy there, it no longer strongly stands out.I like the 3-setting EQ through the app that gets stored in the speaker's memory, this is the right way to do it, set it once and you no longer need the app. There's a button on the speaker to toggle through all 3 settings. Perfect. Battery life is good. Durability/construction is good.Sound quality is a little soft on the high end to me, but it having an EQ makes this no problem. Bass and volume output is also good, though it aggressively compresses bass a mid volumes, which is typical. If loud is all you care about there are better choices at $80, but this can sound great up to mid volumes, and the design is nice because you can get direct sound from it aimed, or pretty well diffused sound from it laying flat.It's also worth noting that it's heavy, but that's probably the price to pay for a nice size battery.I think my only real complaint is there is not aux input, I know that's not a big deal for many but I do still tend to end up using those every now and then. That and maybe I had too high expectations from it given how much I love my Xsound speakers that were under $30. Those are really standout products to me, they are GREAT for the size and cost.This one is good at $60, and just ok at $80. At $80 you really need to consider what balance of features you want and make sure it's a good fit.

I had this StormBox Flow for quite some time, and I have to say, I’m really impressed. The sound quality is phenomenal; it's so good that my coworker asked me to order one for him as well. The in-app EQ feature is a game-changer, allowing for precise tuning to get the perfect sound. The single driver with passive radiators does a fantastic job at enhancing the bass response.The build quality is solid. It feels like it can handle any job site—short of falling into a wood chipper, of course. The size is perfect for portability; it even fits nicely in my back pocket. The strap is a handy feature for hanging it off hooks, nails, heavy equipment, etc.Pairing it with other speakers is super easy thanks to a button that looks like an infinity symbol. I paired my speaker with my coworker's, and they sound great together with a super reliable connection, never dropped once.The design is sleek and aesthetically pleasing. Battery life is impressive, lasting through my typical 10-hour workday with about 40% to spare, even when playing at 65% volume. Plus, the IP67 waterproof rating means I don’t have to worry about using it outdoors or near water.The TWS (True Wireless Stereo) feature allows you to pair it with another Tribit StormBox Flow, creating an even more immersive listening experience. Whether you’re at a worksite, a beach, or just relaxing at home, this speaker delivers high-quality sound and dependable performance.Overall, I think it’s worth every penny. I’m extremely happy with this purchase and have no regrets. Honestly, I can’t think of any cons. Highly recommend.
