Tribit’sStormBox speakeris the latest unit to be released by the company.
I wasn’t disappointed.
There is also a multi-function button between the two.
Each button makes a satisfying click so you know you’ve activated it.
The multifunction button has a number of operations depending on the gesture you use.
Play and pause is controlled by a single click of the button.
it’s possible for you to also answer calls with the multi-function button.
A single click answers and ends a call.
Rejecting the call is simply a matter of two presses.
Depressing the button will activate your smartphone’s voice assistant.
Moving down the unit there is a four-dot battery indicator, below which sits the Bluetooth connection button.
Below that is the XBass button for ramping up the bottom end.
There is also a rubber carry strap that connects to the top of the speaker.
Take it With You, Anywhere
As I’ve mentioned, the StormBox is eminently portable.
The speaker can withstand temporary submergence in up to three feet of water for up to 30 minutes.
you’re able to even use it in the shower.
This gives you even more freedom as you enjoy your music.
I tested this range in an outdoor space and found it to be approximately correct.
Tribit suggests that the battery can squeeze out around 20 hours of playback.
There’s a caveat to this, though.
As with all portable Bluetooth speakers, this depends on the volume of playback and the audio content.
I played various different DJ mixes, in several styles, from SoundCloud for five hours while I worked.
There is also the ability to daisy-chain two speakers together via one smartphone.
So, How Does it Sound?
Throughout the testing playlist, I didn’t notice the 360-degree sound from the StormBox falter once.
Trebles sound nice and crisp, without the tinny sound that some portable speakers ruin your top-end with.
The bass is where the StormBox really stands out, though.
However, a quick click of the XBass button and the bass opens up in an almost cavernous manner.
Despite this bass boost, the lows remain clear and don’t overpower the mids or trebles.
Should You Buy One?
The Tribit StormBox is a fantastic little speaker and comes highly recommended here.
