Oh no :( It really does sound, like nobody bothered to tune it or even listen to it critically. It is really too bad, cause it looks really good on paper with aptx and a 'sub'. Would love a comparison between the champ boost and flare 2, they are only 15 euros apart where I live :) Good job mate love you channel!

[@alanrossreviews]

yes that would be an interesting one but on axis i would think the boost would win and off axis the flare 2 would win.

[@dominiksx]

@@alanrossreviews yeah I'm sure you're right, although to be honest, what I'm really interested betweeen those two is the thump they provide at normal listening volumes. They are both just perfectly sized for travel in my opinion.

[@Jul0570]

Great review 👍🏼 thanks for the comparison 😁

[@alanrossreviews]

not much to say sadly 🤪

[@_-Z-]

I want to believe you got a broken unit but other credible reviews lead me to believe it is the tuning. Other reviewers praise it but I think they're translating louder = better (although it is at its own best at max volumes). It's unfortunate because I think it had a lot more potential based on the specs. As is, I don't think the price is really justified by what you get compared to other available alternatives on the market. I recently purchased the flare 2 based on one of your earlier reviews and I'm enjoying it so far. I'm also pleased to see that it still holds up well compared to newer "360 °" options. Excellent review, as always, BTW!

[@alanrossreviews]

i really dont know what to make of it but i am going to try a second unit.

[@DarcyWhyte]

Hey, I've got two of the Stormbox Pro and love them. I'm wanting more power. Should I get the stormbox blast? The pro are 40 wats each so I have 80 watts. The blast is only like 90 watts but it's bigger so perhaps it's more efficient? Is the blast worth getting? Or if I want more power than my pair or pros, is there a better solution? Thanks in advance!

[@supremevisor]

It really sounds broken or at least not tuned at all. Would be interesting to hear Tribit's explanations on this. Prob they will send another one.

[@alanrossreviews]

well this is from amazon, i will try a second one.

[@thewhitewolf2687]

i think the sub is not working

[@PumpkinssNailStation]

Got the pro to test out and it’s ok for what I would use it for and its £70 on amazon sale so for me just for the garden or travel or bbq in the garden I don’t mind it , it’s ok I played mine for 4 days so 5-6 hours in the garden and was ok didn’t die on me at reasonable sound

[@sgtearache5303]

Yeah, the Pro is a bit of a miss really, although mine doesn't seem quite as bass lite as what you've got there Alan. Definitely doesn't do what I expected it might though...I'm glad I got it for the 40% off intro price.

[@alanrossreviews]

i will try a second unit as i cant believe they really thought that was ok.

[@sgtearache5303]

@@alanrossreviews excellent, I look forward to the follow-up. Also worth noting that the "360 degree" designation seems a bit weird to me as it's a stereo speaker so listening from the left or right side definitely doesn't give you a balanced sound really...

[@AMIGA79]

Thank you for your effort and this great review. My problem with the Stormbox Pro is not the almost non-existent low bass, but the much too boosted upper bass range with XBass ON at normal volume. The relation is not right. Call me crazy, but even though the sound of the device doesn't really blow me away with some titles, I bought a second Stormbox Pro. And yes, I like the sound very much. Better than 2 UBoom, better than 2 1More, better than 2 Motion+. But only from 60-70% does the bass come through reasonably. In the range where all the others get thinner, the Stormbox Pro starts to sound normal. Same phenomenon in a direct comparison between 1 Stormbox Pro and 1 Motion+. Up to 50-60% you think, is the "subwoofer" asleep? Turn both units up to 80% and go into the next room. What remains from the Motion+ are shrill highs and "pok pok pok". The Stormbox Pro leaves much more music, and yes, now you can hear the bass. But the tuning is still strange. At least unusual. Very good for outdoors, but indoors and at normal volume I miss some warmth, depth, smoothness. Even more curious: I am not a hardcore advocate of driver burn-in. But after a month now, the Pro sounds much more pleasing. Or maybe I've got used to the sound and am talking myself into it so that I don't get angry about the money I've wasted. Just kidding. I like the Pro very much in duets (TWS-paired), especially with instruments. Electro is also great, but there are more suitable alternatives for trap and deep house and other low-bass music. (Sorry for my writing; "deepl" helped me to translate german-english)

[@alanrossreviews]

if you are enjoying it job done, thats all that matters!

[@taylorfox2339]

Curious about the Braven BRV-X/2. Feels like you get a lot of sound for your money, what do you think?

My wife has the old stormbox, I have a couple of the pro. I actually think you have a bum unit. My pair of pros sound great. Price is high, but at 40%off I like them.

They nailed the original stormbox, it's such a great BT speaker. I put it again UE Megaboom and several other speakers and found it makes music sound more pleasing to the ears. I wish they took the sound from the original stormbox and made it louder and better battery life.

[@alanrossreviews]

i have no idea what they were thinking about with the pro 🙈

[@jemus3606]

the original stormbox was tuned by "oluv´s gadgets". he has a good ear and is pretty picky. tribit on their own without external expertise seem to be a bit helpless in terms of sound-tuning.

Hi Alan, considering the quality of Tribit speakers I think that you have got a defective/broken speaker. It's impossible that Tribit sells such a bad sounding speaker! I suggest to ask Tribit for support so we will also know about customer service quality.
