The Tribit Stormbox 2 takes all the good points of the original Stormbox and improves them even further , for example USB Type C charging and more powerful at 34 Watts, it comes, 360° sound, and the ability to pair 2 storm box speakers together to give you that full room stereo surround sound.
In the box, you get a simple user manual. The USB type A to type C charging cable and the speaker itself, Taking a look at the speaker itself. This is definitely a simple but nice looking speaker,It’s not too heavy, but does have a good heft to it, which is always a good thing.
There are 3 very large buttons on the front meaning you can easily control your music with them. be it play pause track forward track back or volume up-and-down. All around the speaker is a fabric mesh material, which gives the Stormbox a premium feel in the hand.
Round the back is where you have all your buttons power button Bluetooth button X based button, which is basically a base boost, and then you have your link, button so you can connect more than one speaker. Lower down down you have a waterproof flap and inside of this, you have your Auxiliary port and USB C charging port
Diving into the audio specifications The Stormbox 2 has a total of 34 W, it has 248 mm full range drivers as well as 2 passive radiators one on the top and one on the bottom they’re encased in a rubber shock system, that easily handles all the vibrations as you crank up the volume.
There is a slight Ark on the base, so when you’re listing into it, you could place it on its side, or upright as well and it’s not going to interfere with the bottom radiator. As far as connectivity goes this has Bluetooth 5.3 which compared to older Bluetooth versions, will give you better range, better battery life and better quality, according to the specs, this also has up to 150 feet of range.
those two channels on both ends vibrate quite a bit to give the bass response and the “oomph” that you feel as it pushes the air about. Yes, it’s good, yes it’s fun to experience, but there’s also a crisp treble and detailed mid response too. It’s a great all-rounder.
You can control the StormBox 2 via the Tribit app, which enhances your listening experience. While you can’t turn the speaker on remotely, the app offers equalizer presets, including ‘Audiobook,’ ‘Classical,’ ‘Rock,’ and ‘Jazz.’ Additionally, you can customize the EQ and toggle the ‘XBass’ mode on or off.
The StormBox 2 lives up to its self-proclaimed portability. It’s easily held in one hand, lightweight, and won’t take up much space in your bag or backpack. As for water-resistance, it’s rated IPX7, which means it’s more than sufficient for protection against water. However, it hasn’t been specifically tested against dust, hence the “X” in IPX7.
The speaker also allows you to take calls using its built-in microphone, whether you’re at home or on the go. While the clarity might be better when using your phone or computer alone, having this feature is a bonus, especially considering its price point. As for design, although it shares similarities with the original StormBox, the upgraded feel—thanks to the fabric and indented buttons—gives it a more premium vibe compared to its plasticky predecessor.
The sound from this speaker was better than a normal speaker of the same size. The bass was really good, and the battery life was better than expected. It’s a great design and you can also get a couple of these and daisy chain them together to enjoy an amplified sound.
The Stormbox 2 is available from Amazon UK for £62.99 or Tribit Direct for $67.99
