Thanks Alan, it is so unfortunate that there so many fake reviewers out there who have no understanding of physics and acoustics, you can take pride of your commitment and honesty not to mention you deep grasp of signal processing and acoustical science. I think while these manufacturers tune these speakers to suit the majority of non critical listeners who just want loud in your face sound, think a lot of it also is the fact a lot of these multi way speakers focuses very little on crossover design

[@alanrossreviews]

yup! they would be better off probably having full range woofers than messing with crossovers. i mean when you see how they boost the subwoofer then why bother with a crossover? 😂😂 im sure its not to help with directivity!

[@gregjukes6897]

Hi Alan, 2 years ago I was looking for a portable speaker and found your honest video on the Tribit Stormbox blast. And as a result I purchased one and have never looked back, so I thank you for that. I’m now in the market to upgrade my setup as I’ll be moving into a bigger house and would like some multi room sound as well as expanding the sound of the Blast when in a big room. I was wondering if you’d recommend getting another stormbox blast, get a couple of the smaller Tribit speakers? I was tempted by the Blast 2 as it’s “bigger and better” but after watching this video I’m not so sure now. Your advice would be very much appreciated.

[@alanrossreviews]

The blast 2 can probably be eqd nice but i havent tried. For me thw go play 3 is spot on but small battery. If you already have one blast a 2nd makes more sense for immersive sound.

[@gregjukes6897]

@ Thanks for your reply Alan. I think a second blast will be the route I go. It may not be until closer to Christmas so it’s possible more development on the EQ for a Blast 2 has happened and we can have a real comparison on how it performs compared to the Blast 1 £ for £ value. Thanks again and keep the honest and informative reviews coming 👍🏼

[@megakebab1702]

Sup alan, gotta update you with something. I got a pair of soundlink flex gen 2's (for 200 dollars) And unlike many unprofessional reviewers on youtube that popped up lately, i actually clearely hear an improvment. The eq does a world of difference here. I added a little bit highs and lot's of mids to the eq (bass stays on 0) And wow it became so much different sounding than the old flex. Vocals and mids are stronger. It's way less vshaped, the bass is less boomy and deeper it seems like, the highs are more detailed and crisp. It's great. One thing i'd do is turning off the position eq adapt feature, it gets too bright when laying it down if you have increased highs on eq. Would like your opinion about the 2nd gen. I think bose did it

If the Uboomx were worth comparing, you would include it in a video. However, out of consideration for Oluv and his sensitivities, you’ve chosen not to present facts that may not be in his favor, thus avoiding any further detailed commentary on that speaker. Fair and correct from you-those who understand will understand, and those who don’t, won’t. Great work!

[@alanrossreviews]

Honestly i didnt use the uboom x because its not in this league of big bass speakers. I mean personally i prefer the blast over the uboom x but they are kinda same level. Boom 2 plus has more headroom than uboom x.

[@waynedexter]

“…out of consideration for Oluv…” Dang dude! Have you just started watching Alan’s content? Also, instead of just asking why the UBoom X wasn’t included in the mix folks instead decide to take a giant leap into accusatory mode, and without receipts to back it up. Insufferable, much?

[@Blckwrgrymn]

Let’s be clear, I wasn’t judging Alan. It’s obvious he likely didn’t include the Uboom X out of consideration for his friendship with Oluv. Knowing Alan, the Uboom X wouldn’t have done well in his review anyway. No need to misinterpret my words. ​@@waynedexter

[@alanrossreviews]

@@Blckwrgrymn just to be clear. The uboom x is not a proper boombox, this was a proper test of boomboxes, not for one second did i think the uboom x might be one to consider. The blast 1 was here because its the og blast and anyways i prefer the blast 1 to the uboom x. Not for one second would being a friend of someone effect my reviews. However i wouldnt say we had a friendship as such, just that we apparently have put differences to the side. im not naive enough to think the timing of the uboom x release had nothing to do with Oluv reaching out to me. I was happy to help when he asked.

If it's too long, you can copy it and paste it in Google translation and you can listen to it instead. A nice life hack. Google translation has that speaker feature. Like an audiobook. I like EDM, like Riddim, dubstep, trap, DEATHSTEP and etc and I like portable speakers that have batteries. I already have JBL Partybox 310, 2 of them. Partyboxes are done, but I want a Boombox next. Battery life must be at least 20 hours. Many songs I listen to have 40 Hz - 32 Hz and many of my songs have a build up that has 60 Hz - 50 Hz in them. (Build up is before the drop.) According to your Hz measurments, Tribit Stormbox Blast 2 has too much upper bass, but also little bit deeper bass than JBL Boombox 3 and with 50 Hz EQ band you can get little bit deeper bass with Tribit Stormbox Blast 2. Tribit Stormbox Blast 2 also has little bit louder deep bass, but as I said, loudness doesn't matter to me, the maximum bass frequency extension does. And distortion also matters. Speakers with a lot of bass have distortion. Distortion is terrible. I didn't plan to buy JBL Boombox 3, because of the 700Hz peak, but it was 250€ only, so I bought one. I own JBL Boombox 3 and JBL Boombox 3 has 34 Hz maximum bass frequency extension. Upper bass doesn't ruin Tribit Stormbox Blast 2, but because it has massive upper bass, can it play deeper bass than 40 Hz without distortion? I have music that has sometimes 50 Hz - 60 Hz and the deepest EQ Tribit Stormbox Blast 2 has is 50 Hz. If it has distortion, it ruins the listening experience. I put, mids and treble to minimum and bass EQ settings to maximum in JBL Boombox 3. JBL Boombox 3 doesn't have upper bass, it doesn't have distortion. JBL Boombox 3 Wifi exists, but JBL Boombox 3 Wifi doesn't have multiconnect. I play JBL Boombox 3 with my JBL Boombox 2 and JBL Charge 5s sometimes. JBL Boombox 3 Wifi also has the deepest bass of all 3, but no multiconnect, I can't play it with other JBL speakers. Tribit Stormbox Blast 2 is cheaper and I am speaker collector. I like collecting speakers. I want to try some other brands too. JBL Boombox 4 isn't here yet, so why not.

Listening to all these through my sundaras. It seems you can clearly hear the 3d processing with this speaker as it changes from the tribit to any other speaker in the test. It's mostly those tweeter frequencies that are sounding clearly processed, but also wider/more diffuse even in the recording. Maybe I'm just crazy, but that was a clear difference between the tribit and the others. They all sounded more focused/coherent vs a more diffused sound from the tribit? Do I have this correct? When sitting in front of it it sounds like you would hear this almost like the sound stage is constantly changing in width

for what kind of listening? basically blast 2 gives bigger but more bloated bass till max volume where x20 wins obn battery. blast 2 warmer, x20 bit clearer, thinner

[@mattskull16]

@alanrossreviews it's for DJing for a small crowd, mainly melodic deep house

[@alanrossreviews]

@@mattskull16 me personally id get the blast 2 as its just more fun the bass driven sound IFFFF for louder volumes.

I never use a Bluetooth speaker for critical listening, I use my hifi separates for that, this speaker has a battery in it because it should be used outside, a flatish sounding speaker out doors wouldn't sound good, you need some boosted frequency ranges IE bass so it sounds better outside in a open space, if you do want to use it indoors then I would use it plugged in to the mains and use the 10 band EQ to get the sound that suites your needs, just reduce the mid bass and you will already improve the sound for indoor use, I'm not sure what the x-3d is for it takes most of the vocals out of the tracks, so if you really want to use it then maybe stick to music with no vocals.

Nowhere in any literature that i can find is it written any speaker with a battery is meant for outdoor use. Its actually very useful in a portable speaker that might go from room to room and especially in a bathroom to negate the need to keep plugging in. Outdoor eq is a matter of opinion of course. You can certainly have an outdoor response target that mimics indoor listening. However most people have different listening scenarios outdoors so modern outdoor eq tends to be more v shaped indeed. I have certainly heard low end seperates that sound awful and a decent bluetooth speaker, ideally two in stereo, sound superior for critical listening. Of course we all have our own parameters for what qualifies as critical listening. I would avoid hand waving away an entire industry. Indeed high seperates have been embracing bluetooth far more in recent years.

​@@alanrossreviewsI wouldn't use anything bigger than a JBL flip 6 size speaker for a bathroom unless you have a massive bathroom and even then a flip 6 would suit my needs in a bathroom, yes hifi has Bluetooth but it's not used for serious listening, maybe LDAC but that's pointless for Spotify at 320kbs, most hifi users including myself stream music now at 24bit/192khz or as close to that as we can, the tribit xl can actually be EQ'd to sound as good as you should expect from a portable boombox, WiFi speakers are the way forward now if the speaker is really good enough, stereo imaging will always be a portable speakers limit. Keep up the good work 👍

Any thaughs og the new update? The rumers tells it's mutch better now 🙂

[@alanrossreviews]

im outta the game........

[@jann8490]

@alanrossreviews thats sad, hope you are back soon,

[@AntoG4RS]

Dear Alan, I have now spent some hours comparing by myself UBOOM X, Soundcore Boom 2 Plus and Tribit Stormbox Blast. The UBOOM X is really a better speaker. The sound it emits, regardless of the frequency response is much cleaner. I know that you tested the previous FW version. Why don't you give it another chance with the latest FW?

[@alanrossreviews]

@@AntoG4RS because everytime i touch an earfun /oluv product it ends up toxic. Personally i prefer the blast.

[@AntoG4RS]

@alanrossreviews I hope that at least you try it for yourself. Everybody has its own personality and I like yours. And if your opinion is different from others, that's fine!

[@presencaeletro2377]

Ótimo vídeo.

[@alanrossreviews]

👍 👍

[@robirupnik2814]

Alan, do you think i need the blast 2 to upgrade my soundcore boom 2 plus? Or should i just wait for something newer to come...

[@alanrossreviews]

only if you want more ompphhh at very loud volumes

[@robirupnik2814]

@@alanrossreviews Thanks, but do you think maybe then its better to look into partybox 310 or 320?

[@alanrossreviews]

they are bigger of course but yes they will certainly be more powerful

[@thenewkinglouie6514]
