Hats off to Tribit for allowing backwards compatibility with V1. I'm sure they could have tried to force owners of the original to buy two of the upgraded version if they wanted stereo pairing but it was a nice gesture on their part for it to work with V1. Thank you, as always, Alan for your detailed and thorough testing! 😁👍👏
I absolutely love your reviews bruv. You and Flossy Carter are the tops. Totally entertaining, brilliantly informative. I had no intention of buying anything today, and you talked me into it, with humour and actual bloody science. Superb
Very good video as always. I’m going back and watching a lot of your videos because they’re so entertaining. Two of these speakers in stereo really sounds special. What a slam dunk! I have two of the version 2’s and can tell you once they’re connected in stereo they are permanently linked. You asked this in one of your videos, don’t know if someone already answered.
Just want to say thank you for your technicality , im a technical guy looking for technical answers in a world full of non technicals, Thank you for this, you earned a sub. . . i think this might meet my needs, relatively flat , true stereo, and with a aux port , so latency should be excellent [in theory at least] thanks!!!
@@alanrossreviews i bought Max sound plus... Thanks to u But there is lot of latency in audio via aux port .... Is it my unit problem or it's there with every Max sound plus....
Noice. 👍 Great upgrade but I wasn't expecting an even bigger upgrade like even a more precise sound cause it is already impressive .. but I hope a new model of this maybe Tribit Maxsound 2 with a titanium drivers and even deeper bass maybe that can go up against flip 6 and boost in terms of warm bass.
everyone is so different, again one of those instances where i have to ask, what are you looking? none are perfect and each have strengths. when you sound stormbox, the original? i wouldnt get that, the new upgraded stormbox pro is better.
i bought Max sound plus... Thanks to u But there is lot of latency in audio via aux port .... Is it my unit problem or it's there with every Max sound plus....
Hey alan thanks for the review. If i gave the budget do you suggest i spend extra and get the motion + or the maxsound plus sounds similar to motion +?
I just bought one of these and it arrived with zero battery charge. Press the button to power on and it immediately powered down. Is that usual for these, shipped with a dead battery? 3 hours charge so I can use it.. find the treble really harsh above about 50%. Wonder if could be a faulty/ returbed unit?
Not usual but it does happen. If you don't even like it's tuning id send it back. Clearly you want a warmer sound. What speakers have you liked in the past?
I had distortion in one speaker after a week of use it was horrible sent it back for a replacement and hasn't distorted yet sounds great has some decent bass for the size I know they are more focused in a neutral sound not too much bass to overwhelm the speaker at higher volumes
@@alanrossreviews I was really confused between these two in terms of pairing because I wanted something to work for both indoors and outdoors. Plus the limited amazon sale is also on and their price is almost the same.
@@alanrossreviews for the budget? Compared to others?? Hard to see a more vfm product.. i wouldn’t mind if the old hardware is used as it is good enough!! i love the V1.. I wasn’t really keen on getting the v2, but your review has compelled me to purchase the v2. I was searching for a new portable speaker starting from Sonos roam to jbl charge 5 to the new soundcore boom motion plus.. the v2 comes here like the dark knight saving my money and gives me stereo!! Don’t mind the extra steps to pair to the V1 honestly..
Bro now what will i do😐.... Is there any fix for this..... I bought coz i had midi keyboard and wanted a good sound quality speaker with aux port that didn't have latency.... Till now i thought there can't be latency via aux port .... I had 20$ speaker which didn't have latency via aux port ....

I want to buy a new BT speaker as my Tronsmart died. Right now I'm deciding between Maxsound Plus and Stormbox Micro 2. What would you recommend? MS is 43€ and Micro 60€ on the Amazon right now. Or maybe go for XSound Go?
Hello, the new xsound go also comes with stereo pairing... Is it backwards compatible with the old version of xsound go? Because I already have the old version of it(it has BT 4.2 and Mico usb) would be great if i could connect the new version of it in stereo mode
@@alanrossreviews thank you sir for the quick reply. I think it has everything to do with inherent property of bluetooth 5 to be backward compatible with Bluetooth 4. Not anything tribit intended to do per se.
Confused between Stormbox v2 (Usb-C) and Maxsound Plus v2 (stormbox is 5 USD more). In your other video, you said that Maxsound Plus is better than Stormbox when listening head-on. Can you confirm that? Also have you measured latency for Stormbox v1 or v2?
depends what you call better, maxsound plus is very neutral while stormbox was a different kind of speaker, better for 360 of course. i havent tried v2. v1 was quite ordinary. i dont have a latency measurement for v1.

@@alanrossreviews Whoa thanks for such a prompt response! I'm still confused though. Here in India, it's 2.7k for 1 xsound go, and 4.7k for a maxsound+.

Is there a way to use both in stereo but connected via cabel (as somekind of diy budget minirig thingy) with something like a splitter or I don't know how it could work or if there is something like a splitter? :)
These have 3.5mm AUX-input. So yes, with a 3.5mm stereosplitter and cables, or a stereomixer, you should be able to do this. But straightforward splitting also means reducing (dividing) the original signalstrength per output.
@@Wuppie62 Ok thanks! Now I understand. So in my case it would probably be better to go with the Minirig System which is build to connect multiple speakers for stereo listening with cables so I don't degrade the volume/audiosignal with the stereosplitter approach
@@carlosvenu I wouldn't conclude this. It's the same situation in principle. But I think it depends wether you split a stereo line signal in a seperate left and right signal, or in two stereo signals. My experience of a small loss of volume is based upon the situation where you split one headphone output into two, for playing over two headphones simultaneously. The MiniRigs themselves are not stereo. You need two ofcourse. The MiniRigs are louder than the Tribits, but also waaaaaaaay more expensive.
Hi Alan. I bought an amazing Tribit Maxsound + and will get another. Very impressed. However, the latency is a serious issue when trying to view movie content. I thought the answer would be to plug in the supplied hardwire cable - but no... The latency is equally bad. How can this be? is there a way to delay the picture output to match the sound??

Hey Alan! Is it possible to run an aux cable as the input into one of the Maxsound Plus models and enable TWS for stereo playback? Thanks for doing these reviews.
@@alanrossreviews I’ve not heard anyone cover this possible feature in a review. It would be awesome if one of the units could broadcast it’s AUX input to the other unit via Bluetooth TWS. Thanks for response!
I have a problem with my device (upgraded), my speaker don’t have sounds but actually connected to my phone. It’s pain in the a$$. And i don’t usually use it, just a few times.😔 Dunno what the problem.😔
Maybe I got a defective unit, but I returned my USB-C "upgraded" Maxsound Plus because you can't leave it plugged in. I have a 27" monitor that I use as a TV in my bedroom, and I can leave an Xtreme 3 plugged into it for speakers, and that works great. I can leave the Xreme 3 plugged in 24/7 and it'll stay charged. But the USB-C Maxsound Plus charges until the battery is full, then the charging light goes off, then it won't charge again unless you unplug and replug it. It can't run off mains power. It'll charge the battery once, then drain the battery, then shut off. And it's not going to start charging again unless you unplug it and plug it back in.
@@alanrossreviews I have a blue GG and a black NT. It was the NT that I was using. It probably wasn't a big delay, but it was enough that it was a problem. I had it connected to the booth monitor out of a DJM-900NXS and had PAs on the master out, and it was out of sync. I'll try to actually measure the lag later tonight...
I tried measuring it just now and I'm getting 30 ms in normal mode and 25 ms in LFM/debug on the NT. It seems low, but at 125 bpm a 16th note is 30 ms. It sounds completely jarring if there's a closed hi-hat in the mix. I'm not sure why I thought LFM fixed it. Well, actually ... It was when I was DJ-ing a birthday party last month on 4/20. I was full of cheap merlot and a couple other substances. That probably had something to do with it. But it's all complicated, right? The party was in a fenced-in back yard. If the sound is bouncing off something 5 meters away it's going to take 25 ms.
@@alanrossreviews Tested all my JBL speakers 😁 JBL EON 610 1/4" line inputs = < 2 ms PartyBox Encore Essential 3.5mm aux = 15 ms PartyBox Encore Essential 1/4" mic = 10 ms Xtreme 3 GG normal 3.5mm aux = 30 ms Xtreme 3 GG debug/LFM 3.5mm aux = 25 ms Xtreme 3 NT normal 3.5mm aux = 30 ms Xtreme 3 NT debug/LFM 3.5mm aux = 25 ms Charge 4 normal 3.5mm aux = 33 ms Charge 4 debug/LFM 3.5mm aux = 29 ms
Once you have the upgraded MSP(USB C) Tribit would say that you're on the latest firmware. Wished that it had an app of some sort. Also, really tempted to buy a second MSP too
@@drcover the soundcore motion boom absolutely destroys the JBL lmfao it actually beats the Xtreme 3 as well. You could buy two booms to listen in stereo for the price of one JBL charge 5
@@alanrossreviews The closing date is June and I still have to finish mastering the track, not sure when the results are announced, probably July / August, I'll keep you posted.
@@alanrossreviews BTW, things got put on hold a bit because my Mackie Big Knob audio interface blew up, so I had to find a replacement, ended up with the Behringer Studio XL after sending the M-Audio Air 192/14 back. I've done a little unboxing / review of it, nothing like the quality vids you produce, but if you're interested in learning a little about these types of interfaces used for creating my music, come check it out, a comment from a professional such as yourself would mean a lot :-) ruclips.net/video/PewV7QgxWlY/видео.html
Have you seen techmoan, with the M90 mini and micro? They are great novelty items. Don't think they will sound too great but claiming huge battery life. I suggested he let you review te sound quality of them as they are sold out already
Thanks for another outstanding demonstration Tribit definitely caught lightning in a bottle with The MaxSound Plus It boggles my mind that Tribit didn’t stick with what’s tried and true but instead comes out with speakers like the StormBox Pro and the XSound Mega. The Mega is especially a missed opportunity because it’s so close. But with that said at least now I can pair 2 MSP for TWS, and it was a pleasant and welcome surprise that I can do that with 2 different versions ☺️
Just subscribed, love the content. Would love to hear your input in mini speakers like their Tribit Micro 2. I do like this one but I feel the micro would be better with less space in my backpack
had the V1 for a while. very smooth and warm sound but lacking some bass as most speakers at this size. but if it's just for light listening etc. it's perfect.
Pretty much ALL Bluetooth speakers are for light or non-serious listening. No audiophile would sit down with a drink and a cigar in their easy chair to listen to their favourite albums in front of a Bluetooth speaker, much less this shrimpy one.
the soundcore motion boom plus will be announced today, absolute destruction! It's available to pre-order now at a discount and will be available on May 30th.
hey alan there are news, Marshall upgrade it the emberton and have a new speaker the Willen should be competence from tribit stormbox micro, bose micro and others.
Bloody mind reader you are Alan....I got the updated version a few weeks back and was going to interest you in comparing v1 with v2. Job well done mate. Thanks to your reviews, now I own the Tribit maxsound plus and a W-king D8-1...yea, that one has a new version too....so would it be possible to compare them the same way you did here? #alanrossrocks
trouble with wking is they change the firmware bot most people have no idea they expect you to contact them about firmware. so comparing speakers is really a test of firmware's more than anything.
@@alanrossreviews That might be Alan, but from what I can see the new D8 seems to have different tweeters, it has TF support now and IPX6...looks to me like a v2 of the product - unlike D9 /D9-1 or X10 / X10-1. Anyhoo, maybe once you stop working for Soundcore, W-king will give you a job and a D8-1 🤣🤣🤣
@@alanrossreviews I ended up with 2 Tribit maxsound plus (second one on the way) and the D8 for those headbanging moments where I care more about bass at lower volumes than sound accuracy. FFS, I even started to listen to EDM music since I got it 🤣 Amazon should pay you commission for all the pull through sales....
Nice review ALAN. I bought two of the upgraded version and gave the original to my Mom. I absolutely love these speakers. I own quite a few BT speakers and these paired in stereo are one of the best sounding speakers K own.

Nope, not with my v1 and v2 pair at least. If a pair of v2 speakers have wireless lock then maybe its possible.
@@alanrossreviews I’ve not heard anyone cover this possible feature in a review. It would be awesome if one of the units could broadcast it’s AUX input to the other unit via Bluetooth TWS. Thanks for response!
I have a problem with my device (upgraded), my speaker don’t have sounds but actually connected to my phone. It’s pain in the a$$. And i don’t usually use it, just a few times.😔 Dunno what the problem.😔
you cant play music?
@@alanrossreviews Yes sir.
Maybe I got a defective unit, but I returned my USB-C "upgraded" Maxsound Plus because you can't leave it plugged in. I have a 27" monitor that I use as a TV in my bedroom, and I can leave an Xtreme 3 plugged into it for speakers, and that works great. I can leave the Xreme 3 plugged in 24/7 and it'll stay charged. But the USB-C Maxsound Plus charges until the battery is full, then the charging light goes off, then it won't charge again unless you unplug and replug it. It can't run off mains power. It'll charge the battery once, then drain the battery, then shut off. And it's not going to start charging again unless you unplug it and plug it back in.
yup mine is the same 🤓
btw i just measured the aux on my x3 for lag and it was zero. what version x3 you got?
@@alanrossreviews I have a blue GG and a black NT. It was the NT that I was using. It probably wasn't a big delay, but it was enough that it was a problem. I had it connected to the booth monitor out of a DJM-900NXS and had PAs on the master out, and it was out of sync.
I'll try to actually measure the lag later tonight...
I tried measuring it just now and I'm getting 30 ms in normal mode and 25 ms in LFM/debug on the NT. It seems low, but at 125 bpm a 16th note is 30 ms. It sounds completely jarring if there's a closed hi-hat in the mix.
I'm not sure why I thought LFM fixed it. Well, actually ... It was when I was DJ-ing a birthday party last month on 4/20. I was full of cheap merlot and a couple other substances. That probably had something to do with it.
But it's all complicated, right? The party was in a fenced-in back yard. If the sound is bouncing off something 5 meters away it's going to take 25 ms.
@@alanrossreviews Tested all my JBL speakers 😁
JBL EON 610 1/4" line inputs = < 2 ms
PartyBox Encore Essential 3.5mm aux = 15 ms
PartyBox Encore Essential 1/4" mic = 10 ms
Xtreme 3 GG normal 3.5mm aux = 30 ms
Xtreme 3 GG debug/LFM 3.5mm aux = 25 ms
Xtreme 3 NT normal 3.5mm aux = 30 ms
Xtreme 3 NT debug/LFM 3.5mm aux = 25 ms
Charge 4 normal 3.5mm aux = 33 ms
Charge 4 debug/LFM 3.5mm aux = 29 ms
O Firmware pode ser atualizado pelo usuário via app?
Stormbox or maxsound plus upgraded? Pls. Help
Maxsound plus or motion plus or soundcore boost or mifa wildrod or uboom l or for serious bass and fun the motion boom
@@alanrossreviews is maxsound plus better than stormbox outdoors? Which is good on high volume?
Can i charge this product realme 18 watt fast charger.
i thought you was tech knowledge?? 😂😂no it charges at 7.5 watts
Once you have the upgraded MSP(USB C) Tribit would say that you're on the latest firmware. Wished that it had an app of some sort. Also, really tempted to buy a second MSP too
How to update tribit maxsounf plus
instructions are out there. you will needs the actons media product tool.
I love the way you talk 😄
then thats gotta be a good thing 🤗
can you compare the tribit xsound mega with the motion boom?
the mega cant match the charge 5, it will have no chance against the boom!
@@alanrossreviews are you saying that the boom has better sound than charge 5? Does it has more bass?
@@drcover the soundcore motion boom absolutely destroys the JBL lmfao it actually beats the Xtreme 3 as well. You could buy two booms to listen in stereo for the price of one JBL charge 5
@@davidbezzant9820 Whether or not Motion Boom beats Xtreme 3 is up for debate, Motion Boom have deeper bass but Xtreme 3 is more satisfying
@@ThibautMahringer Small Vifa Helsinki beats Xtreme 3, motion boom does the same...
Hey alan would maxsound plus be an upgrade over flip 3 in terms of loudness & bass
I earlier had flip 3
Yeah the clarity you get from them in TWS is unmistakeable, they sound good, nice review!
thank you 😁😁 when do we get the result of the contest???
@@alanrossreviews The closing date is June and I still have to finish mastering the track, not sure when the results are announced, probably July / August, I'll keep you posted.
@@alanrossreviews BTW, things got put on hold a bit because my Mackie Big Knob audio interface blew up, so I had to find a replacement, ended up with the Behringer Studio XL after sending the M-Audio Air 192/14 back. I've done a little unboxing / review of it, nothing like the quality vids you produce, but if you're interested in learning a little about these types of interfaces used for creating my music, come check it out, a comment from a professional such as yourself would mean a lot :-)

How does the bass compare to a Flip 5?

How upgrade tribit maxsound plus software?
ask tribit for the firmware and guide
@@alanrossreviews thanks Alan
Tribit stormbox vs this one, which one is better?
will depend on use and taste, i prefer maxsound plus
@@alanrossreviews thank you🙏
Would be really cool to see you try an Alteclansing speaker on your channel. Would really like to see how they hold up in sound quality
they never get requested..till now 👍
Hi Alan, can u please best speaker under 20 USD
i dont really try many speakers that low in price 😲 sorry
Nice upgrade from tribit, the should have software where you upgrade your old ones
well its the hardware thats changed 🤷♀️
@@alanrossreviews well they can change alot with software changes too, but i don't think they want. they wont sell much as they think
Have you seen techmoan, with the M90 mini and micro? They are great novelty items. Don't think they will sound too great but claiming huge battery life. I suggested he let you review te sound quality of them as they are sold out already
look cute 😁 reminds me of the sharp upright turntable!
Thanks for another outstanding demonstration
Tribit definitely caught lightning in a bottle with The MaxSound Plus
It boggles my mind that Tribit didn’t stick with what’s tried and true but instead comes out with speakers like the StormBox Pro and the XSound Mega. The Mega is especially a missed opportunity because it’s so close.
But with that said at least now I can pair 2 MSP for TWS, and it was a pleasant and welcome surprise that I can do that with 2 different versions ☺️
i guess more party tuned speakers are what sells in larger numbers 🤷♀️
Just subscribed, love the content. Would love to hear your input in mini speakers like their Tribit Micro 2. I do like this one but I feel the micro would be better with less space in my backpack
i already did the micro 2, its a nice speaker.
@@alanrossreviews ok thanks will search for it on your channel
First 😋
Is the new one the same as the old one ? I sure want to know !
number one subscriber does it again! 🏅🏅 and yup, new features but same sound 👍
@@alanrossreviews You spoiled me the video ! 😭
😣💩
had the V1 for a while. very smooth and warm sound but lacking some bass as most speakers at this size. but if it's just for light listening etc. it's perfect.
its one of the few small neutral options. 🧐
@@alanrossreviews yep. those buttons could be bigger and clearer, though.
Pretty much ALL Bluetooth speakers are for light or non-serious listening. No audiophile would sit down with a drink and a cigar in their easy chair to listen to their favourite albums in front of a Bluetooth speaker, much less this shrimpy one.
the soundcore motion boom plus will be announced today, absolute destruction! It's available to pre-order now at a discount and will be available on May 30th.
motion boom plus! yup my social media has come alive alerting me to this 😝😝
I understand to have latency via Bluetooth but via aux this isn't good and worthy speaker if priority is aux ......
hey alan there are news, Marshall upgrade it the emberton and have a new speaker the Willen should be competence from tribit stormbox micro, bose micro and others.
Thanks for the update 👌
Quite a big difference in srereo.
yup, enough to double the pleasure.
Bloody mind reader you are Alan....I got the updated version a few weeks back and was going to interest you in comparing v1 with v2. Job well done mate.
Thanks to your reviews, now I own the Tribit maxsound plus and a W-king D8-1...yea, that one has a new version too....so would it be possible to compare them the same way you did here?
#alanrossrocks
trouble with wking is they change the firmware bot most people have no idea they expect you to contact them about firmware. so comparing speakers is really a test of firmware's more than anything.
@@alanrossreviews That might be Alan, but from what I can see the new D8 seems to have different tweeters, it has TF support now and IPX6...looks to me like a v2 of the product - unlike D9 /D9-1 or X10 / X10-1.
Anyhoo, maybe once you stop working for Soundcore, W-king will give you a job and a D8-1 🤣🤣🤣
To be honest i never really liked the d8 other than it gave big bass for reasonable price.
@@alanrossreviews I ended up with 2 Tribit maxsound plus (second one on the way) and the D8 for those headbanging moments where I care more about bass at lower volumes than sound accuracy. FFS, I even started to listen to EDM music since I got it 🤣
Amazon should pay you commission for all the pull through sales....
The c is def the best, change my mind
the c?
Was the marijuana picture your secret garden?😊
always! 🤗
Nice review ALAN. I bought two of the upgraded version and gave the original to my Mom. I absolutely love these speakers. I own quite a few BT speakers and these paired in stereo are one of the best sounding speakers K own.
classic for sure 👍
Just got my dad an upgraded model we paired those bad boys up and man they sound really good especially when it comes to classic rock 🪨 they sound so good I'm tempted to buy 2 for myself lol
do it 💪
Got the select pro for 60pounds.🤌🌚
why??
@@alanrossreviews coz its the motion boom with lights
