Alan Ross Reviews Top Picks:
Pound for pound world champion:
Soundcore Motion Boom: geni.us/motionboom
Amazingly deep bass to 40hz for its size and price.
For a leaner more agile sound with seven more deep bass for the same price try the Mifa Wildbox
Still worth a look:
My former world champ the Soundcore Motion Plus can still offer great clarity.
geni.us/soundcoremotionplus
£50 champion:
Great bass for its size, Soundcore Boost: geni.us/soundcoreboost
A little bigger but a decent listen for full body sound at a decent price ($50) BOGASING M4 (some distortion issues): geni.us/bogasingm4
Bass Heavy Speakers:
Harman Kardon Go+ (mid and upper bass heavy but with decent balance): Play geni.us/goplay
Onyx Studio 6 (warmer than the 7, maybe too bass heavy in balance): geni.us/onyxstudio6
Bag of Riddim 2: not much deep bass but dollops of mid and upper bass help to give a warm and open sound. A good fun listen but not so accurate in reproduction. geni.us/bagofriddim
Hi End Picks
Minirig mk3 2.2 system: geni.us/minirigmk3
Great for portable low deep kick: Onyx Studio 6 (more bass than Onyx 7): geni.us/onyxstudio6
Monitor Like openess and neutrality but lacks deep bass Audio Pro C3: geni.us/audioproc3
Travel Speakers:
Marshall Stockwell 2: geni.us/stockwell2
offers a decent immersive sound with full and tight bass. Beware though it does not go very loud
JBL Charge 5: geni.us/jblcharge5
Only mono but has a very clear and dynamic sound at low volumes and can go reasonably loud but will become a little screechy over 80%.
Bose Soundlink Flex: geni.us/bosesoundlinkflex good bass heavy sound for its compact travel friendly size.
Denon 250bt, no longer made but sets the standard for size/quality ratio for travel (battery drain issues)
JBL Flip 6: geni.us/jblflip6 louder than the Bose Soundlink Flex and has better highs (though too much, bit harsh) but not as full sounding as the Flex.
Beosound A1 1st gen: sounds better than 2nd gen and goes louder but has app, connectivity and battery issues. Very deep bass for small size and clearer than the Bose Flex. geni.us/a1gen1
Best Mini/Micro Options:
Bose Soundlink Micro (warm): geni.us/bosesoundlinkmicro
Tribit Stormbox Micro 2(clinical): geni.us/tribitmicro2
Also consider Beosound A1 1st gen (more HiFi). geni.us/a1gen1
Minirig Mini 2: geni.us/minirigmini2
Worth a Look:
W-King T9: geni.us/wkingt9
The T9 is a reasonably loud and balanced party speaker with a big bright detailed sound.
Budget Loud Boombox: no clear winner but my pick for fun outside listen would be:
W-King X10-1 for form factor and loudness geni.us/wkingx10
W-King D9 for bass with a little smoother signature: geni.us/wkingd9
Tribit Xsound Mega: medium sized mono speaker with fun bass and light show. geni.us/xsoundmega

[@downtowngary6646]

Great review as always. Glad you so eloquently pointed out how the placement and orientation of a speaker (and especially this type of speaker) impacts its perceived sound quality. You can in effect “EQ” a speaker simply by where you put it and how you place it there. I personally own a Bose SoundLink Micro, Bose SoundLink Flex, Tribit Micro 1, Tribit Micro 2, and several other small high quality Bluetooth speakers. This new Tribit Micro 2 and the Bose Flex are my 2 personal favorites. They are different speakers in many ways and so they play different roles in my needs. Right tool for the right job. Just want you to know that my business for 30 plus years has been working with high end sound equipment and sound engineers in a major downtown theater. I truly appreciate high quality equipment and the technology that makes it happen. Your love of sound gear truly comes across in your reviews. Much appreciated! I’ll wrap my comments up with this. This little inexpensive speaker is a marvel. I highly recommend your viewers to get two of them to do true wireless stereo and be prepared to be blown away!

[@alanrossreviews]

and at half the price of the bose! 😝😝 thanks for the comments, much appreciated! 👍

Yeah, I think the micro 2 is definitely worth the extra $ between the two with the advantage of volume, the controls being easier to see, better battery, and the option of app support. It is really un JBL-like of Tribit to allow the new gen to connect to the old but props to them for doing that. Thank you for another outstanding Alan Ross Review! 😁👍👏

[@alanrossreviews]

I believe prices vary by country but I think the Micro 1 is better value on Amazon Australia as it's two thirds the price of the Micro 2 (or Micro 2 costs 50% more) at their discounted price. I got a Micro 1 because it seemed to be better value.

Great review! Thanks Alan!

I just might have to get a Micro 2 after seeing this. That is an excellent improvement in sound. I love that extra emphasis on the deep bass by trading off upper bass.

[@alanrossreviews]

plus the ability to tweak the tuning...

[@bluetooth_speaker_junkie]

Oooo how can I forget that! Its also got an EQ. You can definitely make the lower bass more prominent through it.

[@Wigglythegreat2]

Thanks Alan for this review. The improved battery life and the ability to use the Stormbox Micro 2 as a power bank is really nice to see. This power bank option could really be a life saver. One of the few times I forgot to charge my phone ahead of time, I had a bad crash on my bicycle and couldn't call for a ride. I ended up riding several miles with some injuries, fractured collar bone, sternum, etc. and my bike was a bit messed up too. I really would have loved to have had a battery power bank then. I know my helmet was broken in a dozen different spots so at least I didn't bounce my head directly off the pavement. I need to preserve what little brain power I have. 😀

[@lukabosnjak3829]

This is probably the best sound-price ratio "micro" speaker ever. I would like to see a comparison with Minirig mini 2 and especially Vifa City (I bought it for 40$) which may actually be the best sounding...

[@alanrossreviews]

stay tuned...................

[@blueflash9897]

Vifa city sounds good but the terrible battery life made it a bad speaker… to be a good overall sounding Bluetooth speaker you need to have a decent battery life. Plus it’s $150 on Amazon so what give? I thought apple was greedy didn’t know vifa was too

[@Schmidteren]

The first Anker Soundcore Mini sounds better than 2 and 3. And is under half the price of this. It might not sound just as good, but for under half the price. I think it's probably still better value!

[@simonsaysrewind]

Perfect... im in 50s and i ride an ebike... so this is definitely an upgrade i love especially with battery improvement which was certainly needed. I hope tribit do a all in one stereo double the length speaker with same strap (possibly a wider strap).

“Smaller is better just ask my girlfriend” 😂😂😂 Another banger as usual Alan, I like the Micro 2 here. More brighter sound, but it ain’t something that’s too ear fatiguing on me.

[@alanrossreviews]

what was the last speaker you bought? what you got your eyes on?

[@thatboyneedssomemilkholemd819]

@@alanrossreviews Bought 2 speakers actually the Charge 5 and onyx Studio 7 😁😁 Was able to get both for a very good price, so I bit the bullet. I’m really enjoying both so far (both for different listening purposes obviously) Still got my eyes on 2 motion pluses or a 2.2 minirig setup. Motion+ the more likely buy of the 2, because that minirig setup cost is 😟😟

[@augusto9431]

I think that the updated is the one that wins it here . They sound both very pleasant but the 2 sounds like it packs more instruments in it , and it has more battery.

Hey Ross, have you by chance had a chance to hear the Marshall Willen? If money isn’t the issue, would you go for the Willen or Stormbox Micro 2?

[@alanrossreviews]

No not heard the willen, i havent heard anything that makes me want to try it. The micro 2 is great for its size

[@mctfzipmail]

Hi Alan! They're some funtions there are really important for a teacher and I havent seen no one reviewing on that way. One is been able to be great on voice, great middles; been loud enough to a good size room with some noise AC ON; having battery long enough to play 9 hours with no recharge (we really have outlets enough for that; and the most important to be able to connect to a bluetooth mic so we don have to loose out our voices in a few years. All that in a portable speaker like that pocket tribit. would be a huge success with professors.

[@alanrossreviews]

and how big is that market? 🤣

[@BigRedToni]

Nice video Alan! I discovered your videos some time ago, they are quite interesting, i really appreciate all the data. Do you think the Tribit Micro 2 sound better than the Soundcore Mini 3, both using the app?

[@alanrossreviews]

i bricked my micro 2 during a firmware update so sadly cant compare now

[@BigRedToni]

@@alanrossreviews Sorry for that, Hope you find a solution and we have more comparisons 😝😝 I think i will go for the micro 2, Thanks Alan!

[@miguelcaraballo9366]

Mr Ross according to your reviews, last micro you like the most was Soundcore Mini 3. How about a review between Mini 3 and Stormbox micro 2??

[@alanrossreviews]

i would need to compare them side by side. watch this space.

[@android584]

I bought a Micro 1 and a Micro 2 this year but sadly their ability to pair in party mode or TWS seems to be disabled. I'm thinking that Tribit did not intend for them to pair and that they have "corrected" that in firmware updates. I'm pretty sure I did all I could multiple times over to get them to pair one way or the other the best I could get was a connection sound followed by a disconnection sound (suggesting it was actually connecting to the other speaker but the firmware was instructed to disconnect the different hardware).

[@alanrossreviews]

havent tried hooking them up in a while, if they disabled that its pretty poor showing from tribit.

[@jesusk1358]

Correct. They don't pair any more. Pairing was probably a bug because from the manual, you have to have 2 stormbox micro 2 or 2 micro 1 to realise the stereo mode.

[@thekidbart4528]

I have the Bose Soundlink Micro, JBL Clip 4 and now just got in today from Amazon the Tribit Stormbox Micro 1, should I return it for the 2? Probably not I’ll give it to my little brother and I’ll order the 2 next week or so, with spring coming here in the states and jumping back on the long bike rides I think I need the brighter sound since riding a bike in NYC next to cars and busy roads the brighter sound will definitely help.

[@alanrossreviews]

there is a firmware update coming that will beef up the bass a bit

[@b_14-m8p]

Hi Alan! How did you get the measurement of original track?? That's really incredible for reference and tuning! 27:32

[@alanrossreviews]

just load the track into a spectrum analyser 👍

[@b_14-m8p]

@@alanrossreviews got it! 🤔That means you can tune the speaker base on the originalfreq response of the track and you get the perfect tune of the speaker? On the graph it shows almost similar, there are just difference in Lows department but mids and highs are mostly overlaying with the graph.

How is it sound compared to Anker Soundcore mini 3 pro after EQ? Im looking for something portable that could be fasten to belt / bag etc Love your reviews !

micro 2 is better

[@ampersandyandy9482]

I'd love to find eq settings I can use in poweramp without downloading the app, which would be a problem for a reason or two.

[@KnightSparhawk]

When the Micro 1 and 2 are paired in stereo do they play the way they've been individually tuned? or does the Micro 2 eq itself to match the Micro 1?

[@alanrossreviews]

i havent tested it but im told they retain original individual eq.

[@KnightSparhawk]

@@alanrossreviews Thanks

[@ykang568]

I've got the Micro 1, usually use them in stereo mode. How would mix and match Micro 1 and 2 affect the listening experience?

[@alanrossreviews]

well of course different tuning and volume scale so not perfect but still nice

[@blueflash9897]

Did tribit made an app where you can use the eq? lol I’m using it and I turn the bass all the way up.

[@jeffwatson4908]

Not watching the vid just listening to the sound I did not hear a big difference, I have a 1. But it is not intended as a home speaker. It was intended for biking and outdoors generally where the sound difference is more academic. The sound characteristics of the 1 may sound a bit boxier but not under the crazy circumstances where I use it. I would be much more critical of one I wanted for indoor sedentary use. Nice that you go to this much trouble to enlighten us in general. Thank you.

[@philjoysavio6805]

what You like more Tribit micro 2 or Jbl Clip 4 ? I own clip4 and think if buying Tribit2 insteadof Clip is reasonable.... Maybe You could make biger comparission of 4-5 small portable speaker, which have best sound in 2022.

[@alanrossreviews]

Its amazing what they can do in such a small form factor. 👍

[@pedroduraes2545]

How do you make the frequency measurements, do you measure the noise of the speaker playing some frequency, or do you measure the frequency itself? I notice on my stormbox micro, at 70% volume in between 60 to 100 herts is pushing almost max power at those frequencys, about 1 decible lower than max volume

[@pedroduraes2545]

Also notice that the difference is smaller in the micro 2, maybe micro 2 does not make a lot of other noises when playing bass notes. My micro 1 makes weird noise when playing 50herts max volume

Hello Alan. Thabks for the videos. Need your opinion. The price in my country for soundcore boost is $110, stormbox micro 1 is $62, maxsound plus $80. I actually prefer boost because of its sound signature, but the price doesnt make sense here. If I have to choose between the other two, which one do you recommend? The purpose of usage is for travel. I have already motion boom, motion plus, flare 2 for any other usages. 50% of tbe decision are made after watching your channel.

So the micro 2 arrived in the mail today. I did a comparison with the micro 1 and I have to say that initial I preferred the sound of 1 a smidge more. Warmer. That is until I took them outside. Then I preferred 2. The brighter sound signature and extra volume helps to compete with traffic noise.

[@digitalDolby]

M1 is more V shape. M2 is warmer mids. I agree with you, it depends on personal taste. I have 2 M1 in stereo. That said, in louder volumes, the M2 trounces it due to better headroom.

I can’t seem to get v1 and v2 to pair correctly. They would pair but one speaker would b on stereo mode, v2, while the other would b on party. Then I would press the Bluetooth button on either speaker to see if I can rectify but then v1 would power down immediately.

Nice review, imo the new stormbox micro 2 is an upgrade, bigger bass(meaning deeper) and less on the upper region i'd say, treble extesion is smh similar to a jbl xtreme 3, not on power ofc but the sound, like a mix of a shouty and metalic tendency? Its what i'd say so. But for the size its about sequeezing the most out of sound, without making it too much of a mess i think in order to help to squeeze the power with loudness and bass its a nice aproach this tuning. This is a theory of mine tho so i might be i wrong xd.

Like there's this reviewer, he ALWAYS pick JBL over every speaker he reviews. Keep doing what you do and be honest with no bias.

[@alanrossreviews]

Thanks for that. Tribit did say they would send me one but its still being finalised

[@Frip36]

Song at 26:10 shows how less detail / less highs helps make a squeeky song or person's voice, less irritating. Less fatiguing. My broken hearing makes treble sound like tinfoil. Which is why I prefer the warmer Micro 1 to the brighter Micro 2. However, I love that the Micro 2 uses white for the main buttons. I totally despise the all black look. I hope the high contrast white fonts will catch on. I'm not a thief in the night. I DO NOT need a stealth micro speaker.

[@alanrossreviews]

yes smoother but less dymanic because of that

Hi Alan I bought the storm box micro 2 but it’s not pairing with my original storm box, need a little help.

You have to do it in the right order. I explained in the video

[@soumenchakraborty2450]

@@alanrossreviews hello Alan, im sure I did everything I could in the right way but it didn’t work, also I noticed the sound quality (the clarity) was muffled when compared to my original stormbox micro so there wasn’t much treble but my old one was doing well. After all this it’s making me think I got a defective unit but I’m not so sure.

Stormbox Micro 2 sounds decent but it's a drop in sound quality next to the Maxsound Plus. I recently purchased both. I'd recommend it only if you must have something to carry around in your pocket. I quickly gave up on the glitchy app, just EQ it with Jet Audio.

[@alanrossreviews]

Size will nearly always have the advantage when priced about the same. Youd have to move up to say the b&o a1 to get similar quality in a small package.

Was just about to purchase the Micro2 when I noticed Amazon is currently selling the Micro1 for 33% off @ $39.99. To me the Micro2 does sound better here, but I haven’t heard them in person for comparison. Do you think the sound profile and battery still make the Micro2 worth the extra price, considering this current Micro1 value proposition? Also, does TWS require a Micro2?

I have had two Tribit StormBox Micro for three years and I have finally decided to change them for this new version. At first I almost regret not noticing a substantial difference, but when I discovered its equalizer in the application... this is already another world. The most important and fundamental thing is its sound, and it has exactly what the previous one lacked: clean treble and sound clarity. Apart from: - 10W vs. 9 W (and it is quite noticeable, especially in TWS) - 12 hours of use on a full charge vs. 8 -Bluetooth 5.3 vs. Bluetooth 5.0 - Powerbank to charge other devices. - The App! fundamental to change its default sound since the equalization that is done to it (there are several predefined and also configurable) is saved in the speaker. Simply for this, the upgrade is worth it. - Fantastic and very easy configuration for TWS, nothing to do with the previous model. Best regards, my friend 🙂
