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
Tribit Xsound Mega: medium sized mono speaker with fun bass and light show. geni.us/xsoundmega
Bass Heavy Speakers:
Tribit Stormbox Blast: Almost a JBL Boombox killer for 1/3rd the price geni.us/stormboxblast
Soundcore Motion Boom Plus: Hard to beat for price, weight and loudness. A bit harsh. geni.us/motionboomplus
Very Deep bass (40hz) but lacks clear mids and highs JBL Boombox 2: geni.us/jblboombox2
Harman Kardon Go+ (mid and upper bass heavy but with decent balance): Play geni.us/goplay
Onyx Studio 6 (warmer than the 7, bass heavy in balance): geni.us/onyxstudio6
Bag of Riddim 2: dollops of mid and upper bass help to give a warm and open sound. Fun listen but not so accurate. 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, mono but has a very clear and dynamic sound at low volumes and can go reasonably loud. Bit 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 the standard for size/quality ratio?
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

The link for Tribit doesn't link to the speaker? Do you have one that does?
I think it's a great result for the Blast. Even if it's not a Boombox killer it can get very close to the bass and have more detail for significantly less money. If it's all about the bass the Boombox wins but it's a little harder to justify the price when the Blast is now an option. Thank you for another outstanding comparison, Alan! 😁👍👏
Yes close and having listened more now its track dependent, on some tracks its neck and neck
Well to be fair the boombox 2 is a bit outdated where as the this speaker just is brand new like few weeks ago
It's all about firmware 😈
@@spartan_a1176 outdated but hey its still kicking ass.
@@jedvaulten02 🙂
I come to your channel for speaker comparisons but I've been finding new music to listen to as well. Thanks!
its a win win 😝👍
It's only been two comparisons so far but I'm really impressed with the stormbox blasts overall sound 👍 I can't wait to see how it holds up against 2 Motion Booms but until then keep up the good work you're videos are always top notch quality and keep bringing me back wanting to see more 😃
yup, it sounds better the more you listen 👍
@@alanrossreviews
Are you absolutely sure about this?
I don't care about price.
But you're saying that the triblast offers a better detailed sound quality?
Loved this comparison video.Thanks🎉
Thanks for watching! 👍
You should make a video explaining the EQ options and what each bar does. I know that video will be a huge hit.
👍
Another Alan Ross Review's is a major major go 🤘✌️ still breaking down the inforwars on the Bluetooth speaker game 🎮🎯
yup! im still in the game!!!!!!! 😁
Thank you for all the work you put into these videos! Loads of love man xx
I have a question if you can kindly answer it.. If money is no object, what would you recommend for a portable speaker that delivers both great bass and a decent clarity? Bonus if it supports TWS.
i cant answer that because i haven't been able to get hold of the true expensive high end portables due to costs 😭 when ive requested a sample for review i get blanked.
@@alanrossreviews Bummer!! You give such good and detailed videos I can’t find a reason why they won’t send you stuff! Anywho thanks man, I have the anker motion boom and was thinking of upgrading to the newer brother but tried it in person and it was… well not very good tbh!
nope, they are milking the boom name really
Great video as always. I got to say, I lose it every time I hear your sound clip of you saying jbl over and over at 20:37! These big speaker companies still think they can charge all this money for their name. Well obviously these other speaker companies can achieve good sound and deep bass at a fraction of the cost. Got my blast the other day and I have to say I’m very impressed! The good thing is, is that the blast isn’t too big, when comparing it to the boombox 2 or Sony xg-500, but it’s definitely heavy.
its the speaker a lot of people have been waiting for in terms of parties and price 🥳🥳
Nearly 6,000,000 views, congratulations! Would you consider reviewing plug in speakers? They're good for outside in the garden haha
ha! i cant even cover everything with the portable speakers let alone branching out. id rather do one thing well than lots of things so-so is where i am right now but never say never. i just like youtubing so i dont care what i do even if its not speakers 👍 but whatever i do i have to be making a difference.
absolutly awesome review alan!! as i said? i would not buy the tribit unless it was run through the ALAN ROSS LAB!! we did the boom plus!! always wanted a JBL BOOMBOX, but not paying 500 pounds, quids, or dollars for it as most. most of my junk cars are 500$ lmfao!! but i just now orderd the tribit stormbox blast. only from the only most trusted you tube channel!! comeplete with british comedy! from the scuvy lads across the pond! much thanks and good day sir!
Blast gets better the more i listen , and after some taming of xbass in eq for indoor listening. Suddenly the bb2 is becoming unlistenanble 😱
Finally I have been waiting
first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you are todays Boombox 😝
that dip in the blast makes the blast sounding v shape,has pinpoint mids unlike the bb2 has wider soundstage and broader mids,the volume of the cabinet makes the bb2 a more balance speaker while the blast somewhat like a klipsch reference speaker tuning which makes it v shape sounding and clear sounding,its now a matter of preference.
thanks for your input 👍
@@alanrossreviews thanks bro youre reviews are spot on
They sound both really good but i think there are more details in sound on JBL Boombox 2. Thanks for the videos!
dont mistake peaks for details.
@@alanrossreviews ahh
Very good comparision as allways! In value, tribit wins by far.
Agreed!
Best review as always, have you tested the Turtle box?
nope not tried that one
Hi Alan - enjoying your reviews and persona. You really, really need to get your hands on a Monitor Audio S150 / S200. Though Discontinued can be got on eBay for £80 or so. They have Class D Amp, C-Cam, Apt X, Passive Radiator, Aux In, Bluetooth, 60 Watts, all in a neat upright bookshelf speaker... What Hifi say "Bags of Sonic Ability 5*****". I firmly believe you should do a Video on it - it may just "Kill" everything. Thanks Mate
you had me till quoting what hi-fi 🤣🤣🤣🤣 anyways i will take a look
ah mains powered, im trying to stay in the battery powered portable niche for now
For three times the price its no question, Tribit all day every day.
When Alan Ross uploads, it just makes the world a better place 😙😙😙.
This video gonna be 🔥🔥🔥
i wish i felt the same way 🤭🤭🥳
@@alanrossreviews lmaooo.
You’re the best Alan. The combination of comparisons, measurements, being able to always learn something from you, and can’t forget the humor you always throw into these videos. Ain’t no other channel like it 🎉🥳🥳
my mum says the same thing, i have banned her from oluvs channel 😝
@@alanrossreviews 😂😂😂
Awesome content like always. I should be getting my blast tomorrow. Hey Alan did you get a chance to play with the EQ on the blast? Will you share the settings if you did. Thanks bro.
yes will do a video on it but the difference is not what you might have hoped for.
@@alanrossreviews thanks for your time.
Nice video! Maybe I’ll pass on the blast cause I already have the boombox2. Unless they have a nice discount or coupon. Thank goodness I didn’t pay full price for the boombox2. Thanks again for your time and very in-depth videos!
Ok one last question! In another video you said the soundcore motion boom plus isn't good for listening to accept at high volumes... Which Bluetooth speaker under $200, cheaper the better, would you probably recommend for low and high volumes? That don't make ears bleed etc . Sorry if bugging now but will be last question like this
great review from u sir .......JBL still good .....but Tirbit also nice.....
yup 👍
Thanks for this vid! I love the tribit look, and the lights, but is it possible to turn the lights off if you wish to?
Yep, the switch is right on the speaker 👍
@@alanrossreviews Thanks for your quick reply, and keep up your awesome work with your passion for speakers🥳
👍
Damn, and here I just settled on the Monster Adventurer Max and you just had to go ahead make this video. Amazon is going to blacklist me for all my returns 😂
we have all been there 😭😭
Monster Adventure max and motion boom plus which has better bass?
Does the monster Adventure max sound good? Compare to W-king X10?
never had the monster adventure
@@ehiztechgadgets9ja I compared it to the w-King T9 and I preferred the warmer sound of the Monster. T9 was brighter, a bit louder, with less lower end bass. Can’t go wrong with both though. Really depends on what you’re looking for in a speaker.
Got the bb2 on sale for $300… yes the blast is a better value but I like the sound of the bb2 more… plus I already have a couple of jbl speakers so this will be a nice add on to my collections
I am very eagerly awaiting the boombox 3. I have been waiting years for them to include a subwoofer like the Aiwa Exos 9 did from the beginning. If they tune it properly, I would imagine the speaker would be able to retain both powerful mids and bass at high volumes thanks to separate drivers balancing the frequencies. With that said, I do worry that JBL may be a little light on the amount of power supplied to the speakers (compared to something like the Exos 9 which I believe is close to 200 watts). Currently I use the UE hyperboom as my go speaker for big sound, but this boombox 3 could sway me as the hyperboom doesn't have a sub to extend into those lower frequencies. I guess we will have to wait and see!
keeping all drivers from interfering with themselves and keeping directivity even will be no mean feat 👍
Boombox 2 good bass but lacked midrange. However, after the 0.5.3.0 update, the eq was adjusted to solve this problem.
Hi alan can you tell us speakers with great low/ sub bass performance? Or like a ranking /top list
Check the description of my videos. Deep bass is now the stormbox blast at the price 👍
tribit is really good for this price :D what did you do with your arm :P? I really like this bear with jacket :D
That bear kinda looks like me? 🤔 Nothing interesting arm wise, just shed door incident
Alan if you had to choose one speaker to listen to between the blast an the motion boom which one would you choose?
Omg, so so different, too early to say, only really the big 5.5 khz dip stopping it being a good all rounder
GREAT REVIEW! so what to do now.....
New Tribit for 224 EUR (233 USD) or used JBL Boombox 2 for 277 EUR (281 USD)? Mostly for outdoor parties, I'd like the nice bass but loudness is also desired? In the future I could probably go for a second, used Tribit to pair them... Or perhaps 2x Soundcore Motion boom plus would make more sense, 1 is currently for 177 EUR ( 184 USD).
I own 2x Motion Booms which I love in terms of loudness, clarity but there is just not enough bass for my needs ;(
if you are thinking of adding a 2nd then go for the blast.....more options with it too
Damn it Alan I was just getting ready to go to sleep 😭and you gave me the video I been wanting so I gotta watch it rn 😁
it had to be done 😝😝
I'm glad you answered that this is no killer to the JBL Boombox 2. But I do highly perfer the soundstage on the 2 as well. The Stormbox blast sounds to narrow and screechy in my personal opinion great review
using eq to tame the highs a little and reduce the upper bass via eq and now im liking the blast more than the bb2, actually the bb2 actually sounds off compared to the blast. lets see if its like that over a long listen.
Definitely and that is also the reason why I take so long. I'll test out the Tribit later on in time.
Nice review. Wasn't hyped for the blast at all to be honest. Most surprising.
not perfect but great value and with some good options thanks to app eq, only let down by big 5.5 khz dip on my version.
Awesome, guess It is hard to beat the boombox2 bass. But Tribit is a lovely speaker for the price.
its close though 👌
@@alanrossreviews yes and it got light😎
Yeah although at $500, you could get like three of the competitors speakers. Hell you could get five or six motion booms! (Although I don't think it has party casting functionality).
yup tws with two only
@@alanrossreviews tws is so mutch better than partycast Who got 100 speakers 😅 But some wide stereo sound i great 👍🏻
Love your reviews. Please test the W-KING D10, it's a lot cheaper, I got one for my son and am very impressed. Much, really much cheaper than competition and two of them (still often for less than one of the others) will blow anything away, while one already will be very close IMO.
Very loud, good bass, no fancy EQ options, not too heavy, but with a large battery and nice lights.
i have one, im not quite as glowing as you though, if i ever get a chance i will of course do a video on it
@@alanrossreviews I wonder why, it sounds great to my ears, same like other reviews appear to be. It doesn't have the fancy EQ others have though, but it's a lot cheaper.
well i didnt listen for long, i will need to give it more time and burn in.
what do You think about Marshall Wooburn 3, as a ultimate portable speaker and competitor to TribitBlast/Boombox 2-3 ??
I know, it is home speaker, but dimmensions, weight and price are similiar to Boombox series, its even cheaper than BB3 .....
I suspect it may play significantly better, than typical portable speaker. Technical data says, it goes 15Hz deeper..... First reviews are very promissing.
never listened to it, sorry.
I ordered mine out of frustration! I live on a small island in the Philippines and I exercise about 5 days a week outside in a cabana, a concrete slab 10' x 10' with a roof. Kareoke capital of the world I turn my marshal emberton on which is only 20 watts and the neighbors turn their music on and I can't hear mine. I'm a foreigner and I live here so I have to keep my cool and cannot throw their speaker in the ocean. I only play during exercise about 1.5 hours. The storm box with higher wattage of 90 watts the neighbors hopfully will let me do my exercise before turning their stuff on.
io will go loud but plenty of louder speakers.
Hey Alan do you if the Xaomi Bomber speaker any good!?
Sorry don't have it 😱
I will say again,
the best guy in the youtube
you are not wrong 😛😛👍

welcome aboard 👍👍👍
The recent Boombox 2 update added a 3band eq(version 0.5.3.0)
When are you getting a Diamondboxx M or L or XL? They will destroy anything on the market. The Diamondboxx M and JBL Boombox I tested and it’s not even close. The Diamondboxx wins easy.
You, at the very end of the video: "Take care of yourself"
Me, instantly thinking: "specially with the shed door!" 😁
Yeah it was already too late for me, didn't want anyone else making the same mistake, 😭
@@alanrossreviews 😆
For stereo speakers pairing to give a party club feel in my van
One in the front of my van
One in the rear of my van
Which would you recommend?
Tribit or BB2?
tribit
Try it with custom EQ to get the bass lows the xbass mode only boosts the mid bass range and lowers the deep bass
I did a video on this, my experience was different. Pushing bass in custom eq cant go more than xbass unless you reduce mids and highs relatively
@@alanrossreviews I thought I noticed a difference in rap songs for sure but maybe because it kind of caps the mids and trebles instead of boosting the lowest frequency... I also did it on the tribit app and my phone
had to watch it again!!!! the jbl, flossy joke?? that was freekin killer Alan!!! we laughed our asses off! lmfao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
we??? are you sitting with flossy? 😝😝
@@alanrossreviews not!!! I don't have white shoes either...lol!!
Hi Alan, i have the Mifa Wildbox with the original firmware and i use it indoor & outdoor, do you think a 2nd Wildbox will be a good option or better change it to 1 Tribit Stormbox Blast?
That's a hard call, i imagine two mifas are louder but they won't do tws or go as deep
@@alanrossreviews i am thinking the same thing as Dave, but should I go with 2 Tribits to get the good stereo? 😅
@@alanrossreviews mifa did promise.me yesterday that they will come with an app for EQ this summer and also TWS will be available then also.
Alan, if i let 2 Wildboxes play together now will it be a lot worse then TWS?
if you want the stereo id get the boom over the wildbox but blast will go deeper than both options.
@@alanrossreviews Thanks masta 🤘
Can you comapre 2 Tribit with 1 JBL (because you can buy 2 Tribit for 1 JBL) and then compare the specs? you get my point right.
The Boombox 3 got me kicked out of the Motel 6 in Hollywood.
So , when is the partybox encore coming?😁😁 its still the boombox 2 for me... only thing i hated back when i had it is that the handle scratches soooo easily. And the kick bass dissapearing at 80 to 100%.
When ive cleared my current to do list and can source one 😁
@@alanrossreviews we can work together on getting one, its 240 pounds here. (Euro to pound). I could send it to you as i dont think shipping costs are that high
well lets see how it pans out, i have a ton of stuff to get through as it is 😂😂 appreciate the offer 👍
Customized eq. on the tribit stormbox blast vs Jbl Boombox 2 would be interesting.
not really, you cant get more bass than xbass gives so in terms of a bass battle this was it 😝
@@alanrossreviews yes that's right. but what about a separate custom equalizer? For example, I have the Dolby Atmos EQ from one plus and thus get more bass from 47hz. the Tribit Stormbox blast still has room for improvement Alan🤯
It's a no brainer..buy 2 of the Tribit's for the price of 1 JBL's, pair it up and have your neighbors kick you out of your apartment.😂
Sirr Alan🏆
yo! a bit late today 🤭
@@alanrossreviews yes. Sorry, hope you’re doing great😎
Me all good, hope you are good too 👌
@@alanrossreviews yes I’m all good
Alan, I keep coming back to this video every time I am tempted to buy a Stormbox Blast (not that I can right now with them out of stock) to talk me out of it. But what I really want is something halfway decent that will float speakers up. That is such a hard metric to do research on but you are one of the few people that even mentions that.
Do you know off the top of your head of any speakers in the Motion Boom level of performance but that float speakers up???
onyx studio 6 🤷♀️
@@alanrossreviews oh... gonna see if you have a video on that one now..
@@alanrossreviews Man, that studio 6 almost looks too good to throw in the gulf water! hahah Oh lord, it has the tiny battery too.
Which will be better, louder bass indor and outdor 2x anker boom or tribit stormbox blast?
Outdoor the two booms might have the edge, i have yet to try it
What really sold me on blast Alan is when ya compared it to boom plus and ya said you'd grab the blast over it to listen to music and that was without you having time to play in the app and mess with eq . That was just stock. So I ordered one and cannot wait to get it!!! Have a great day Alan and be cool to know what ya think after having time to get it tuned how ya like!!!!
yup im liking it more all the time, eq doesnt get you more bass but it does allow you to tame some of the upper bass which i wanted to do, a decent listen even indoors now.
@@alanrossreviews that's badass cuz I listen toostly rock from 50s 60s 70s I'm only 40 but I love real music lol and prefer live sets but I mix a lil a everything in there. Tedeschi trucks band has been blowing my mind and get ti see them live in August!!!!
yes, i noticed the same thing. starting with the motion boom plus. only thing i dont like about the blast is weight. thats it. lol!
@@jeffmccrady9456 the the weight means it's built wel in my opinionl. But I agree too . This will be easy peasy tho as I've been lugging my jbl 110 partybox upstairs downstairs outside lol and only ordered 1 blast to see how I like it if it's what I think it's gonna be ima order a 2nd and sell every speaker I own so 110 then my x10 d10 and only 2 I might keep cuz they're so damn good amd cheap when I got em are the insmy m226 speakers those things are the hidden gem of amazon. I got Alan's attention on em lol but few weeks ago they were only 23 bucks and think they did that to get people to buy em amd get some reviews out but only 1 review of em on RUclips buy they sound to my ears exactly like the motion plus but with more thump or bass... with android phone ya van make em even better or for anyone they can download wavelet amd have one of the best free music apps ever made for tweaking sound on stuff.. that is easily my favorite app for my audio gear that's doesn't have accompanying app but this blast is gonna be fn awesome !!!! Ordered 2 nights ago so just waiting now
yup agreed, the m226 is a little gem if you get a good deal on it, will please the neutral lovers crowd 👍
Is there a link to purchase in the uk?
not till later in moth i believe
I wonder how it would compare to the JBL Encore party box?
hope to get one once it hits UK
nice testing and review!❤🔥 If the Stormbox is given more volume/size and weight, it could match the JBL. What is that Tribit signal at 20Hz where the JBL doesn't have any?
You need a subwoofer if you are looking to play that deep, none of these speakers can do thay
20 hz is infrasound, you never hear it but you can feal it, my nuLine AW-1100 can do it (35 kg).
@@MrHomieOne thanks. at first I thought this reply came from the massive bass competition videos I watch where each speaker could weigh 35kg.
let's wait and see how this compares against partybox encore and boombox 3
There's always something else coming.....
Hey have you ever reviewed the Xiaomi Bomber which is in the same class as the JBL Boombox and the Stormbox Blast? If not why not?
I have to explain myself? Lol, cya 👋
@@alanrossreviews if it's hard to get, I understand, just asking.
its really simpler than that. i am one person with limited time and cant review every speaker. the ones that get requested most along with the ones i personally find interesting are the ones i try to cover but simply too many speakers and too little time. i am not a reviewer, i am a bloke who enjoys youtubing in my spare time.
@@alanrossreviews you're not an "official" reviewer but you are a reviewer and people love your honest reviews, hence the name Alan Ross Reviews. I also do reviews on Funk music. I'm not an "official" reviewer however I have become known for it regardless. I work in a factory all day and the reviews are just a show of my love for Funk music. You are one of the few reviewers on RUclips who still has his own opinions without becoming a 15 minute commercial and I respect you for it. Keep up the good work "and I'll see you in another video."
yup! you get what im saying and i get what you are saying 🥳🥳 seeya in the next video 🙏😁
Still no Boombox killer, tribit did a good job tho. Now im sitting here and waiting for the BoomBox 3 to get my hands on it. And to compare it to the BoomBox 2. But i think the Equalizer on the BoomBox 3 is a good thing, because the BoomBox 2 is sometimes a little to overkill with the bass when you wanna lisent to music indoors... Anyway i havent heard the tribit yet but as soon i can get hands on it, i will take a look at the driver compared to the BoomBox 2 because they look similar to each other as i can see. Maybe the same driver i dont know. We will wait as times comes...
Boombox 3 is using 3-way system. Oval layed Racetrack Subwoofer, Oval Layed 2 Midrange Woofers front of that the Dual Oval Layed Tweeters also
yup it is claimed the woofers are the same in both speakers yet evidence suggests otherwise, i dunno 🤷♂️
lets see if it is a true subwoofer 🥳
@@alanrossreviews thats why we count on the ALAN ROSS LABS!!! for the scientific truth!! not flossy carter, love the guy, but some off the things he reviews i bought? and are not a major go!! its a definate major stop!! lmfao!!
oh shit 🤮
Unfortunately the tribit still nowhere to be found for sale in the Netherlands. Considering buying a second hand boombox 2, which are offered for around 200 euro here
Not a bad compromise if you are ok with the highs on the bb2
Storm blast win!all around sounding speaker
its a great new option for us
Outdoors in large spaces when there is a group of people all these low frequencies are cut in half. I still prefer to have 2 motion booms, they sound louder, more stereo Soundstage.... and they are much easier to place in strategic points such as a shelf, a corner etc.
yup, as always lots depend on your usage scenario 👍
@@alanrossreviews agree. You always test as a speaker on a table.. But in real life, for example a pool party, if you find couple of boom are not enough, neither a jbl boombox is "enough".
Expecially if in a open space you leave the speaker on the ground.
Can you test behringer c210b? I've listened to it in a small gig with 40+ people. It sound fantastic, loud and clean everywhere because the top speaker is 1.7 meter tall
Yup, I'm trying to capture simply what the speaker is doing. You can then extrapolate to your own usage knowing upper bass and boosted highs work outdoors and more neutral works indoors in a typical room with bass being a matter of taste. Its all i am trying to do. This is my hobby and sadly i cant be all things to all people. 🤷
I read in an article: JBL Sold the Boombox woofer to tribit, but it also mentioned that tribit put some sort of coating to reflect the lights
I think that is the reason why they sound very similar
Yup thats what im being told too.
Boombox 1 ?
Which boombox
try the custom eq with the tribit
There’s a sale coming up here in the Philippines and the price difference will be 140 USD between the two. What do you guys think you would go with?
the stormbox blast is is also more flexible because of its eq modes, i would go with the blast.
I am a supporter of JBL. I have bought a lot of JBL products, but I still think that JBL is too expensive.
tribit stormbox blast is really worth having
JBL have a moto, "if we charge it they will come" 🤮
Is it worth to buy 2 tribits for empare them and made an stereo sound?
im sure it would sound great but i dont plan to do that, what would i compare to?
Jbl sounds more open refined and neutral and bright energetic and lively present. Low end bass is peace
I wouldnt described the bb2 as refined and neutral to be fair.
Passive radiators need exclamation marks, then the tribit would also play deeper! Every child knows that. 🤪
Thanks for your analysis!
My tribit arrived today and i am very happy with it. Boom Plus sucks for me.
tribit just need a big red logo to close the gap 🤗
what the heck they did with the freq responce of the tribit
Do you recommend ever getting 2 Bluetooth speakers for improved listening experience? Would getting two of these Blasts be worth it? Great video, cheers mate
almost always worth it 👍
I don't know if I am jaded still from the motion boom plus but the tweeters on tat Blast sound cheap too...
Good lord the Tribit at 100% sounds super harsh to me on that track!
yes indeed, i think they eq'd their way around the 5.5 khz dip. can be tamed using the app eq 👍
@@alanrossreviews I sure hope so, I think that hurts my ears even worse than the default motion boom plus sound!!!
You know what has me interested in that speaker though oddly? You said it will float speakers up.
Allan.. : "EarFun UBOOM® L"
Bashing me too, i think he may be losing the plot. However the speaker sounds nice enough but may be too bright for some and too bass light for others. His main problem is he has over hyped it.
@@alanrossreviews yeah.. he's too absorbed with his preferred sound signature. i find you more objective on comparisons. but i kinda wish you'd drop the god mode custom EQ. lol. but ur doing a great job, you really are
😝
The blast is definitely the better buy if money is the issue. Both speakers sound good though.
im liking the blast more all the time, i think i now prefer it over the bb2
Allan roses thanks review speaker tribit strom blast and jbl boombox 2. Next review speaker diamond box M, L
You are that guy that is just tolerated in the community 😂
Is it true that the bass get better after you plug it in? I have it but couldnt notice the different
Which speaker? 🤔
@@alanrossreviews tribit blast
yes but its only a small increase, 1dB at most.
@@alanrossreviews thank you 🙏
I wonder if swapping the polarity of the tweeters will improve this dip at ~ 5kHz. Sometimes such a solution is used, it all depends on the acoustic phase shift between the midwoofer and the tweeter. Hmm... anyone willing to try? xD
what im waiting to find out is whether this is just my unit or they are all like that.
Are you talking about the bb2
Jbl may be little better sound wise in some ways but Tribit is definitely the better value $$
stormbox stay at topday for 230 euros. arround almost 110 euros more what i payed for the soundcore motion boomn. nochange forme because the stormbox blast ist way hevier as the motion boom plus.
hopefully it will come down in price over time 🙏
@@alanrossreviews mee too otherwise its to expensive in comparison w8th rhe motion boom plus i like it because of the ligth weigh XD
Good afternoon all, greetings from Brazil.
The reason why I think BB2 is better goes for a more natural sound. Not addressing the bass now, but the mids and mid-high frequencies, BB2 has a more contoured voice. The vocals are like in the studio-type voice. Tribit sounded more like live music - which is very good too.
My two cents, BB2 has colored less the sound.
Also, that's why I got the BB2 over the BB3, a few days ago. BB3 has indeed a deeper bass, but also more resonant, and unnatural. BB2 has a great balance: it respects the frequencies.
to describe the bb2 as balanced is puzzling, measured how?
@@alanrossreviews where the frequencies do not go over themselves. A balanced sound means, in my view, a mutual respect between the frequencies - given our previous knowledge of the music style you are using for comparison.
BB3 has a great sound, JBL has put in it a more deep bass, but the mid-highs became thin, with less prominence. Brahms Viola Concertos - and I am getting here the Violas, not the violins - became lifeless, thinner, with a higher pitch than it is supposed to sound. And, if you compare Bach Cello Suites, performed by Yo-Yo Ma, for instance, BB3 deep bass resonates artificially. A Cello does NOT resonate as such. But the same CD on BB2 you do have the Cello more natural.
But, if you want Electronic music - humpy punchy noises, of course, BB3 is better. But for serious music, my dear, I have got the BB2 - more neutral, more natural.
I hope it is explained.
@@mghleira if your happy that's great however you are comparing two unbalanced speakers and declaring one more balanced. Neither are anyway near flat. If you are looking for neutral you have the wrong speaker, they are both party tuned.
@@alanrossreviews Agreed. But I am comparing those under musical parameters Alan. Is there any 'party' parameter? I understand they are both designed and manufactured aiming parties. Nevertheless, they are speakers, so I compared whatever they are outputting. Again, Tribit sounds to me putting the music in a live environment. BB2 is not doing that.
Sir, those are my feelings. I never tested a Tribit personally.
@@mghleira did you use my neutral eq for the tribit? of course there are party parameters, normally smiley or v shaped, bass boosted, sculpted deeper like boombox 3 or upper bass heavy with deep bass removed. most neutral for me is the go play 3.
Alan, do you have an overall fav speaker?
well my fav would be the motion boom but im not saying its the best. i also love my marshall stockwell 2 and stormbox blast and lots of others. i like to switch things around. 😁
@@alanrossreviews I would say if I was to recommend one speaker for the masses it would be the Marshall Stockwell 2, I really think it checks the most boxes. For a travel speaker it would be the Bose Flex. I haven't heard the motion boom yet. Like I said alot of my BT speakers are long in the tooth at this point.
the bose flex ticks a lot of boxes for sure. have you tried it as a stereo pair?
@@alanrossreviews no I haven’t, have you?
no, i will try it at some point
I just got the Boombox2 at a TJMaxx store for $299.99... still might return it because I've got two W-King T-9's that sound great.
Nice price 👍
If you can buy both for the same price what will you pick?
Obviously the Boombox. But it won’t cost the same.
The blast is a little close to xtreme. but xtreme has better output.
Any chance they slash the price on the Boombox 2 when the 3 comes out? At $250 range it would be a killer option
this is JBL we are talking about 🤗
@@alanrossreviews yes but old smaller logo should be less $. New bigger logo = $$$ 😂
agreed 😁
BB3 is currently £300 @Amazon.
Blimey almost a decent price
How about a battery alan?it is real?
is the battery real???? 😲
How many hour maximum volume??
TRIBit in front and back is a metallic grill coated with paint....meaning if it is always submerged to d pool or ocean as it is ipx7 then it will eventually get rusted just like any metal unlike boombox 2 which is fully polycarbon hard plastic meaning it will last even a decade as it is already tested ang proven in years....
Im not sure any speaker is likely to be always submerged? 🤔
Will stormbox blast play while it is plugged into charge?
yes
@@alanrossreviews thanks for the reply. I should be receiving mine in a few days.
Hmm, booth are not perfect but cool somehow. Still have to wait for the HK go play 3 (if it ever will be produced) 😅
is there a perfect bluetooth portable speaker?? 😛
@@alanrossreviews maybe someday 😅
@@alanrossreviews New Earfun UboomL maby?!
omg, not for me. a little on the bright side 🤭
@@alanrossreviews You got new (production) unit with new Oluv's eq?
But can it play music at a low volume give you that rice deep sound where the bass rumbles but now overpower the mids and treble…?
It seems nearly all reviews tend to promote volume rather than quality at a reasonably low volume?
35% and i wasn’t feeling it thru’ my speakers nor headsets ( Bowers & Wilkins P7 headphones. Of course, you cannot really appreciate the sound thru’ RUclips so I went to a store to test the sound. The man at the store walked up the volume as if that was paramount with these speakers!
He lost the plot immediately!
I bought the original version of the JBL…After bleeding it I sent it back and invested in a Marshall Stanmore and a Devialet Phnaton ii both of which perform with much better clarity.
Still, you can’t judge a book by its cover…
I enjoyed your video cos you sound serious about what you are flogging.
Looking froward to you doing a speaker with reverb!!!
You can eq it quite neutral in terms of the bass. Check my IG for my eq. The bass is deeo enough to get a sense of rumble but no, this isn't a speaker for genuine rumble. The law of physics applies, even in high end audio they use multiple subs for that type of bass.
New firmware 5.3 for the BB2. Equalizer added.🤷🏻♂️
yup, another for the to-do list 😁
They increased the price of the boombox 3 and pulse 5 by 30€! 580€ for the bb3 now😬
well the bb3 is good for cleaning your ears out, only had a quick listen but pushing the volume was a little bit like torture in the highs lets see what some decent break in can do. JBL have never been shy about prices 🙈
2x stormblast and you'd still have a change
Do I dare say that Tribit is the Rocky of bluetooth speakers
so many ways to interpret that 😁
Adrian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not only the bass is deeper in the Jbl. Treble seems clearer too.
The Trebles are in different regions and the blast has an unfortunate 5.5khz up
@@alanrossreviews Hopefully they will improve it in an update.
Will be just great to actually buy the tribit, literally nowhere even direct from company. Guess that says it all!
Meanwhile at wish refurbished jbl boom box £70! Probably missing speakers!
Yup the stormbox blast is the speaker to own now.
@@alanrossreviews Getting your hands on one ,seems harder than a ps5. !
Love your work. I have to have a drink to calm down watching them.
Cant stand bias channels, honesty is key.
@@alanrossreviews Was that or wkiing lights-on version.
Apparently the motion boom plus speaker spec is lie and not what is supposed to be. Looks very shallow when taken apart bit iffy.
