[@Random_4400]

I just subscribed, the amount of sheer effort put into this video was incredible, the most important aspect was those frequency response graphs, for me that is very very important when buying any speaker and i can't explain how much i appreciate the effort you put into this video Thank you.

thanks for review, professional work as allways. now we wait for comparission Tribit vs JBL Boombox vs 2xsmall MotionBoom

[@pawew6312]

Very good idea for copmarison

[@_-Z-]

I'm interested to see what the Stormbox Blast can do after you've adjusted the eq. For the money I'd prefer the Blast as things currently stand but we'll see if Soundcore can pull a rabbit out of their hat with their continued firmware updates. 🐰🎩 Thank you for another excellent comparison, Alan! 😁👍👏

[@ThibautMahringer]

Soundcore told me that 00.36 would come in 2 weeks, supposedly it will fix the 6khz peak 🙏

[@_-Z-]

I hope so. 🤞 It could sway my opinion back to the Boom+ if they get it right. I think a rematch comparison might be in order after the next Boom+ update and after Alan has had a chance to eq it and the Blast.

[@ThibautMahringer]

@@_-Z- Boom Plus can't match the bass of the Tribit, but if it can sound more detailed without that terrible 6khz peak, it would justify the fact of having both. The tight nature of Boom Plus bass is awesome. The speaker just need some tweaking to be great... 😭 (Though I'm already quite happy with my latest EQ changes. But quite isn't enough.)

[@alanrossreviews]

if anyone still cares 🤭

[@alanrossreviews]

sure, once i get a chance to eq the blast we will revisit these comparisons

[@christianchavez8888]

I’ve been watching your videos for a decent amount of time and this is my first comment. Over here in the US. I have to say your videos are extremely entertaining and very informative. I have a lot of speakers and a lot of them I have bought because of you. Everyone asks why the hell I have so many speakers, I tell them because they all sound different and I use them for different circumstances. I like hearing the differences of all the speakers. And basically all your analysis are spot on. It all started with the motion+ and then my collection just exploded from there lol. I have the motion boom, Sony xb43, jbl extreme 3, charge 5, flip 6, a lot of the Tribits including 2x maxxsound plus’s which sound very open and neutral and very surprising. soundlink flex, xsound mega which I think is somewhat comparable to the flex. I also have the UE megablast which Is kinda like the motion plus but 360 and less bass. I also have the wonderboom 2 which is very throwable like you say. I have the rave mini which I use at work, I have the rave, the big one. It’s a little bass heavy but your ears adjust shortly. I got the boombox2 also only after you reviewed it. Got it for $370 which I think is a steal. I think I’m gonna pass on the boom plus and might consider the stormbox blast. Not until you review the blast and boombox 2. So, so far the boombox 2 has the deepest bass of the speakers I have. I really enjoy deep bass over punchy bass. I’ll just stick with the motion boom and maybe get another for stereo, but it’s just so ugly, but I know it would be worth it. Just waiting for the blast to be available here in the states. Keep up the good work and I will always watch your videos!

[@premierapro]

Since that you have started this kind of listening diversity like me... You might want to try to listen to a pair of the "Xdobo x8 Max" playing in TWS mode as it will do this 6d effects kinda sounding feature in all your musics which i found it quite cool besides having one of the best deep bass and highest clarity speaker amongst its class. Have a try, and you won't regret having that unique speaker in your collections! ✌

[@alanrossreviews]

i think this is the best way to enjoy our hobby, they all sound different and can be enjoyed in different ways 👌

[@premierapro]

@@alanrossreviews it all began from you Alan.. I believe we are addicted to it and there is no way out now!.. Lol..

[@premierapro]

BTW @@alanrossreviews, Is there any way to fix the 5k Hz dip and the 6k peak using their own apps? Or maybe you mind including the best EQ guidance/setting to fix those particular sound defects on your next post someday? Just for those "Hot speakers" with such problem so that we will be more happy with our decision respectively, thus will improve our listening pleasure as it took me ages to get the best sound from the EQ when such things occurred. It might help me to not getting another speaker anymore as well! Lol

[@Ricky_RSC]

I think Motion Boom is ugly too, so i bought a carrying strap case (got it for 5 USD), to take it to my dance trainings and protect it, now it feels and looks much better, people think it's part of the speaker and they find it kinda cool

[@Pablo-hw5ik]

Awesome review as always Allan! For the price, the Stormbox Blast is better for me due to the deeper bass and louder sound. The soundcore is also good but you have to sacrifice sound for portability. I'm curious to see how the Stormbox Blast performs against the boombox 2.

[@markwexy1621]

As always, great review Alan. Such a tough decision, I think I'm gonna have to buy the Stormbox Blast and compare it with my Motion Boom Plus that I already have. And by the way Soundcore has assured me that there is going to be a fix for the bloated radiator issue.

[@ThibautMahringer]

I hope the solution is not to reduce bass or else everyone will be mad

There are are so many terrible people out there pretending to understand sound and fidelity. They all sicken me.

I love openly eccentric people and you to me are in that category. As I said years back I can’t understand why you don’t have a million subscribers. To me your honesty is a breath of fresh air. Thank you.

[@alanrossreviews]

slightly insane 😁 this is a compliment right?? 🤭

[@mcjonner]

If you could level out the treble with eq or an update it could be a great speaker even though to big for me. Happy to see someone take down the JBL boom box a notch

[@analyticalaudio1102]

Thank you for this comparison. You've described the differences in great detail, which I find very helpful. In your comparison, I like the Blast better than the Boom Plus. To judge, however, I would have to hear it in person - with my individual 3rd Party EQ settings and my favorite music. I'm already very happy that your verdict was not unequivocal and that it was in favor of the blast under all circumstances. Since two Blast cost 460 euros, the purchase was unnecessary for me. For me, the 300 euros for two Boom Plus was a self-imposed limit.

[@alanrossreviews]

of course, thats the bottom line everyone should know, ultimately hear it in person in your own room with your own ears on the actual drivers to really know the speaker.

[@hollywoodsaint57]

Soundcore is a better speaker in my opinion...tribit just lasts longer in respects to power

[@ypoora1]

The dip in the highs on the Blast actually makes it so i prefer the Boom Plus in this comparison- Does it EQ out? I will say the Blast definitely out-booms the Boom in this comparison. The mid-cut in reaction to people disliking the 6Khz peak is absolutely obscene. Then again, i might also be a bit of a treble masochist; my favourite headphones are the Beyerdynamic DT 990...

[@emmanuelnoel494]

Thanks Alan for the long awaited review and comparison of the Stormbox Blast. . I'm liking the sound of the Stormbox Blast but I'm sticking with MB+...hoping the sound issues will be fixed. I haven't seen any issues with the radiators yet...will find that out this weekend when I take out in the sun at the beach. I see a revised MB+ on the horizon...they have to. Hopefully they will offer a discount to those who got the first MB+ units.

The deeper bass and weight will be the decider between them

[@hollywoodsaint57]

I have them both Soundcore Pros: super light as an everyday use to work nice bass, mids & Hi's set your own EQ Awsome strap can charge in vehicle thru cigarette lighter Cons: -sometimes the bluetooth seems like it skips or disconnects and fast forwards my music during the song which is embarrassing while im driving in my 18 wheeler big rig - Battery drains fast on xbass and without it Tribit Pros: - nice bass - preset your own EQ - cool LED lights - Battery lasts a long while while not on xbass - can charge other devices from tribit Cons: - no strap (had to order one separately from another vendor) - super heavy - its a plug in cord in the wall (detachable of course) overall felt I gotter better sound from soundcore as it is louder than Tribit....as heavy as it was i couldnt understand why Souncore was significantly lighter but has better sound. I use tribit as a backup but in the end I chosr Soundcore as my Primary speaker for work

[@JayyBird93]

Will you share the strap you bought for your Tribit please?

[@gioviecelli]

Great test. congratulations Alan! And as I said a few days ago in his comments... this Tribit is better than the motion boom plus in everything! And if you test both in an open environment, the tribit is even better than the boom plus! when you test it against the JBL BB2 you will probably find the two very similar.. but the tribit costs much less! and THIS TRIBIT IS BETTER THAN the jbl on-the-go...In terms of portable boxes this tribit seems to be the best value for money today! Tribit Stormbox Blast and JBL Encore Essential are the best options today (in my opinion)! Better than them only the big tower boxes....but then they are no longer transportable! And for serious listening at home we still have the hk studio 6/7 but it doesn't have much power and doesn't have a good battery, which prevents it from being a box for outdoor use. I'm curious if in the next test you will be able to obtain a good equalization on the tribit that can compensate for the drop in it at 4.5 khz.

Soundcore rushed the release of the Boom Plus, probably handed it out to a couple of beta testers. The Tribit was out in the wild for months so they had more time to do proper field testing. The Boom Plus could have been a massive hit if it sounded like the Tribit and had proper testing. The fact that the Soundcore has low weight is a major advantage and in reality nobody gives a ***about the lights. All in all, the hype created by Soundcore and your realistic reviews made that I ordered the Tribit Blast for power and the Mifa Wildbox for portability. Btw, if you can get your hands on the JBL Encore essential: that is such a great sounding , handsome and decent priced speaker, if alone a battery upgrade would be possible. Keep up the good work! Next time, Anker should include you as a Beta tester to prevent such disasters.

[@alanrossreviews]

I tried to get the essential but nothing in uk currently. Yeah i dont want to be a beta tester 😭 im already doing more than i ever intended, this is just a hobby for me and the original goal was to give my opinion on these speakers and people can weigh up all the opinions out there. But its hard to not try and please the very people who are subscribing and taking the time to comment.

[@alexlittig7927]

All this positive talk on thr jbl essential so I bought one and it's awful. There is so much port noise it's insane. Even at the second volume step I can hear the port chuffing. Yes it plays very deep like 35hz but it's ruined by the port noise. It's very odd. It's odd. Nothing feels lose or anything or rattles around inside so I doubt it's defective. If you play a frequency test tone of and range between 35 and 55hz the port noise is so loud it sorta makes it hard to hear the actual bass. The noise it's audible from 15 feet away at mid volume. Probably going to return it.

[@naturerules3371]

I have a question. Take the Tribit for example in this video. There are 2 tweeters and 2 drivers for a total of 4 speakers. If I am only playing one of these Blasts at a time is it truly playing in stereo? Are there truly 2 channels being used? And if so can one appreciate the stereo separation and sound stage on this unit being it is not rather large? If I run two Blasts at the same time being paired via TWS, is the left channel (left Blast unit) being played COMPLETELY different sounding ( as in true stereo separation) than the right channel (right Blast unit) being played? I would really appreciate an answer. All of this has me stumped! I appreciate your videos immensely! Thank you!

[@alanrossreviews]

yes stereo in both cases. of course true stereo SOUND requires them properly spaced out in a equilateral triangle to the ears. close together it will depend on your ears what you hear and what you percieve but for me you do get a little bit more soundstage separation, that doesn't make it 3d like though.

I can't compare to anything in reality, because the only other speaker I own is the original extreme 1. I got the Stormbox blast.....and I totally LOVE it! For the price, it's unreal. It's loud, it's clear, the bass is deep, the highs and mids are fantastic. Now to compare to speakers costing 3 times the price and more....I digress. I'll keep it real. You wanna spend $200? Just get the Tribit. I don't see any weakness. It's not a high fidelity audiophile system. C'mon now.

"Blast has some notable problems" Such as?

[@TheAscendedTechNinja]

The huge dip and peak and as of now that's pretty much it

[@alanrossreviews]

the 5.5khz dip and the need of a mains lead to charge. but two for less than a bb2, hard to argue with that. i just wish xbass off was a balanced bass (not upper bass) and then the xbass was a big bass boost, as it stands there is no balanced bass mode

[@TheAscendedTechNinja]

I wouldn't really count the 12 volt Universal charger to be a big downside if it charges very fast

[@John_Stone_]

@@alanrossreviews That is a severe dip. Haven't come across any other freq. response charts for the Blast yet. Will be interesting to see if that finding is duplicated in all units. As stated, the other issues are very minor given the value level. Another small (personal) gripe would be the design/aesthetics.

[@danielh.461]

[@LukeMtech55]

Alan, I recently got two of the Tribit Stormbox 2 to just check them out because I've beeen out of the loop for awhile. Overall for the money there not bad at lower volumes but soon as you turn them up they get real screechy. I think for a small travel speaker they would be ok but for me I will take the Bose Flex. I personally think the Bose Flex sounds better then two of the Tribits paired up. I honestly think the Bose Flex is the best BT speaker they've ever released and well worth the $150. Just my two cents my friend.

[@alanrossreviews]

always welcome your input 👍 for sure the flex is one of their best value speakers, not cheap but for bose not out of step with other options.,

[@betelgeuse227]

If i remember well the Tribit has the same woofers as the boombox 2, that is why they sound alike

[@alanrossreviews]

[@jpmavichana]

Alan, which do you prefer one Tribit Blast or two Soundcore Motion Booms. I have two Motion Booms right now, and love it. However, I was thinking pf getting one Tribit Blast just in case I am missing some of deeper bass.

It's a close call, immersion vs deeper bass. Its not worth giving up two booms for one blast.

Hey Alan! Would like to get your take on this: I have a Motion Boom, and I really enjoy its output - most of my listening is at 50% volume. If I go for the Blast, how much lower will the volume be with the Blast, and in that level, is it still a good listen? I mean I know it goes louder, but volume matching the 2, is the Blast superior? I am willing to sacrifice size for sound quality. Thank you in advance!

well the blast will sound bigger and deeper, but look at the difference in weight and size, boom still best value.

Tried in the store sharp speaker,has a nice bass, tweeters are weaker but they aren't terrible.

I’m still curious why soundcore signature EQ does NOT sound like custom EQ with all sliders flat for me, but does for you. If I couldn’t have my motion boom plus sound how it does in custom EQ with all sliders flat, and it sounded identical to soundcore signature EQ, I would be upset because it doesn’t sound nearly as good.

[@alanrossreviews]

with sliders at zero?

[@gl4675]

@@alanrossreviews yes, for me, all sliders at 0 does NOT sound like ANY presets. For me, all sliders at 0 is how it sounds best. All the presets sound like they limit power one way or another to me. Despite it saying “bassup is not available with custom EQ” that has not been true for me, and you can also turn the bass enhancement on and off when using custom EQ, wether all sliders are at 0 or if if they are custom tuned.

Hi, Alan! I wanted to ask you, what do you think about the Sony XG500 speaker? Will you review it? I'm so curious!!! :D

[@alanrossreviews]

seems it needs 3rd party eq to sound decent so iw ill skip that one

[@AbsoluteFidelity]

Not bad at all considering its not EQed at all, very decent stock tuning. The Tribit actually has the potential to be a good 'critical listening' speaker, with proper extended bass and not that cheap mid bass boost we find on most speakers In my books, its the new VFM champ.

[@alanrossreviews]

whats with the new avatar??? 😁 yup Tribit are much better at stock tuning than Soundcore. The only issue may be its sheer weight.

I was finally able to test the Tribit Stormbox Blast (TSB) and pit it against two Motion Boom Plus (MBP). Although I've come to love the MBP, I find the TSB "better". The bass is clearly superior, but it can also score in the treble range. The mids are clearly more pleasant. In a direct A/B comparison, the MBP sounds like something out of an old earpiece. My personal EQ is very treble-heavy and pushes a Sony XB43 beyond its limits, for example. The TSB and MBP can handle it, with the TSB clearly distancing itself. An incredibly good BT speaker, especially as it plays excellently in all EQ modes. Wow!

​@@alanrossreviews I've now switched back to V0.29 with the Boom Plus (bought new), since a downgrade is not possible / not offered.

Think the more pronounced trebles suit my age (50) better. Happy to own the Boom Plus AND Stormbox Blast. Although the Blast sounds "better" in direct comparison, I prefer to play the Boom Plus. Maybe because I've always liked Anker and the Boom (my reference Speaker) made me feel positive.
