Now that i have rewatched this video in 2024, i appreciate this Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 more, it's a wonderful little versatile speaker, now through the app i was able to upgrade the firmware from 1.2.4 to the latest which is 1.2.8 & there's a great difference The sound changed, it sounds more interesting & balanced now to me, more bass even at low volumes, less bright as it was before on 1.2.4, option of turning speaker off from app, option of individually turning off voice prompts...the upgrade was very easy & swift from the app, took less than 5 mins, if you have time, you might want to check out the fw 1.2.8, the sound signature has changed for better
I bought a Bose Flex speaker based on this review, was very impressed. Then a bought a 2nd one to pair in stereo, listing to Diana Krall's Temptation, both together in stereo mode is the best bang for buck in sound quality out there for it's size and form factor IMO.
@@alanrossreviews Sorry I've just realized that I've posted on the wrong video. Should have replied on your Bose Flex review. I've had a couple of refreshments. I live in Thailand and it 10.30pm here, not 4.30am where you are in the UK Alan, so that should make it OK.😀
Watching on my Soundcore Motion Boom Plus 😂😂 my strap just broke on 1 of my Bose Micros trying to see if I should buy another 1 or switch - cheap straps 🤦 I lost 1 & 1 just broke It seems like Bose is still the king 👑✨ it's all about that bass bby 🗣️🔊
@@alanrossreviews Definitely has that “warmth” to it. The clarity of the stormbox struck me right away tho off first listen. Can’t go wrong with either I don’t think, but that price difference ain’t it 😂😂😂
The tribit is no good. I've gone through 4 of them all Blew out after 6 months. I'm going with bose. The the reason why I like the speakers is for the strap .I use it for work or on my electric scooter. But now I'm getting a bose in the mail soon. Thanks for the review
La parte de atrás del Tribit que parece ser de un plástico me gustaría saber si es fuerte aguantará golpes o caídas? Me gustaría saber para así comprarla. Gracias 😃👌🏻
A-yo Another Allen Ross review. That means another major go with the infor wars on the Bluetooth speakers. I must say. Happy Easter can the little speakers pull a rabbit out of the boom I don't know but I'll bet some quid on it if it could
How secure does the tribit mounting strap seem? I'm looking for something I can mount on my mountain bike hammering through janky terrain and concerned it would rub.
Supposedly, or better yet allegedly 😂, there’s a second iteration of the Soundlink Micro that’s pretty close to being released. I read this recently but don’t remember where 🤔 I’m going to cop the StormBox Micro 2 mainly because of its larger battery. That was my only with grip v1. Btw, does the Tribit app have an EQ for the XSound Mega?
well hope its a decent leap forward, i like the bose warm signature but micro now showing its age like the rest of us 🥳 no eq yet but they say it will come.... 🤷♀️
Hi Sir thank you for your review. Whats the best small size speaker for podcast listening?the clerest vocal of the speaker to listen to thank u so much
i just ordered a teufel rockster cross, i don't know if teufel ships to the uk but maybe this would also be an interesting speaker for you to review and conpare to speakers like the xtreme 3 and motion boom. I'm curious how they compare and would love to see that video.
Hello Alan, based on this video, i was convinced to go with the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 even though i love warm sound signature like that of Motion Boom, but for what its worth the Tribit is the better call for me here, i mostly listen to it with its back on the ground & drivers & buttons facing upwards(off axis), it arrived my destination 2 days ago with firmware 1.1.8 but i see the new update pop up to update to version 1.2.4 Is it advisable to update to this 1.2.4, which firmware sounds the best so i can stick to it, the one you used on this video is 0.1.8 Thanks!
wow, Bose sounds so much worse. Plz make comparission Tribit micro2 vs Jbl clip4 (vs some more models if You like) , both are probably now best in class of little portable speakers.
@@alanrossreviews Nice sound form City, I would really like if you could test the Vifa Oslo since I can't think of a better sounding portable speaker at any size/price (maby Copenhagen xD) but it definitely outperforms minirig 3 2.1 with more detailed and much faster sound... Edit: Discount code in the message below for 30% off from all Vifa speakers
@@alanrossreviews Still unnecessarily expensive in here, its around 300 USD. So i will wait price drop...However, two anker boosts are just wonderful, i am using it everyday...
@@alanrossreviews Oh.. I suppose all the videos bigging it up are all hyping it because its new and... visuals. You are not keen on any of the ultra portables due to them not even coming close in sound quality to their bigger brothers right?
No i just have to be focused on what is most interesting to me because i cant do more than one or two videos a week sadly, so don't have the time for them all, 😭
@@alanrossreviews the sl micro 2 will just come with usb c charging...just like they did on the soundlink 2 (special edition)...put in a usb c charging port..
Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 for my money. Although sound signature is a matter of preference the value of the Micro 2 is undeniable in comparison when you can get 2 for the price of 1 Bose Micro. Also, even though the Tribit app has some issues an app is always better than no app. Thank you for another awesome review and comparison, Alan! 😁👍👏
Hi Alan, what sounds better in your opinion Soundcore 3 or micro 2? I like the size of micro 2 however I like the durability of the Soundcore 3. Thanks!
soundcore 3 is fuller and micro 2 is crisper. they are probably on the same level but sound very different. the micro 2 is more versatile. i wouldnt get the soundcore 3 anyway, id get the boost or the maxsound plus over it.
The Bose soundlink Micro was the first and only micro speaker I ever had 2 years ago. It was ok but no matter how I tried to use it I couldn't get myself to like it so less than 1 year I sold it. The Tribit wins for me but I still couldn't find a use for it😅 OH I just got my second Motion Boom and God damn Alan it makes a difference. My first unit is overall sounds a bit better than my second one. But the second one doesn't distort and it has more mids. I think you may be surprised of the outcome compared to the Boombox 2 and SRS-XG500😯
well whens the video coming? im moving closer to dong this myself 🥳 yeah there does seem a lot of variation in tuning between these cheaper speakers i guess because of low tolerances.
The video should be this week but a hour ago my phone hit my night stand and cracked my display 😭 and it's slowly turning black. And the top of my screen is acting funny. So this week I plan on doing 3 videos and then I will work my way on repairing my phone if i can make it that far 😰
Hm. I am on the fence going one way or the other. Is it possible to adjust Tribit via EQ to be closer to the sound profile of Bose? I tend to prefer deeper bass that comes out of Bose and Tribit is too bright for me. I have tested few smaller speakers and where they fail for me is sound quality on lower volumes
Now that i have rewatched this video in 2024, i appreciate this Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 more, it's a wonderful little versatile speaker, now through the app i was able to upgrade the firmware from 1.2.4 to the latest which is 1.2.8 & there's a great difference

The Bose sounds dramatically better... The tribit it took punchy and treble rich...the Bose sounds like a hifi speaker with deep warm bass...

Yessir Alan with another Major Major upload 😉😉

@@alanrossreviews Always.
I gotta take the Stormbox Micro in this comparison.
Bose sounds to dull to me, and the stormbox is cheaper 🤪🤪
It does sound dull compared to the micro 2 but till now i really liked its warm signature

Was this review made on the old firmware ? I heard the new makes it sound eeeven better
firmware is on the top of the sound clips
Ahhhhhh. So what do you recommend...
bose warmer, tribit leaner = your taste

Yup so many speakers.... So little time.... 😭
@@alanrossreviews i can really recommend it, it's a serious bass cannon. And a really exciting listen compared to the motion boom as well.
God I love the sound selection truly !!
👍
Is there a way of using this to project the audio from a phone call, while still using the mic on your phone?
what small speakers that have most deep bass in your experience, Alan?
its another great review video btw :)
in what size price. you know motion boom is best value for deep bass.
if you want smaller there is the bogasing m4.
Just any prize will doo
Okay thanks, ill check it out
nice review like Always tribit rock it
thank you though tribit have their off days. remember the stormbox pro? 😂
@@alanrossreviews yes this one was eveything except pro, do you know anything about the tribit boombox or tribit stormvox blast, looks very nice
I'm assuming you didn't test the maximum volume on the stormbox with the EQ you had on the lower volumes tests?
it was already at maximum on the 75% test so no po9nt in including it for 100% test i thought.

Are you going to compare the tribit stormbox 2 with any of the jbl flips.
the flips would trounce it, this is a micro speaker 😜
@@alanrossreviews True. 😅
Small speakers showdown ! Both are great, but one is more expensive than the other... 😝
can you guess which one?? 😝
And cheaper one sounds better too.
@@alanrossreviews The tribit is 1 billion dollars 😋
Bose
Interessting Video!
👍
I dont understand this recorded volume. Why one on 40 and other on 80%. Why recorded on different volume and comparing. Why not compare at same level.
Equal loudness is the point
wow, Bose sounds so much worse.
Plz make comparission Tribit micro2 vs Jbl clip4 (vs some more models if You like) , both are probably now best in class of little portable speakers.
Also compare Marshall Willen vs Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 please..
on th to-do list but by all accounts willen not so great.
Tribit 😍
yup! 😁

use it as "parbank"
indeed!
Tribit wins in my book for better sound and clearer buttons. but i personally would never use such small speakers.
