The StormBox Micro 3 shines in small rooms, offices, and personal listening spaces, where its clarity and XBass‑enhanced low-end can fill the space without distortion. Its silicone strap makes it ideal for bike handlebars, backpack straps, and exercise equipment, while the magnet lets you stick it to metal surfaces like a fridge door or workbench.

Tribit makes great quality speakers at an even better price. Now as far as the specs, this one only comes in one color, black. You got Bluetooth version 6.0. Now the codex is SBC and AAC. Now the Bluetooth range is 4 m. Oh, let me say that correctly, 45 m. That's 148 ft. Okay, Bluetooth 6.0.

And overall the Guys speaker looks very good and is of premium quality. And let's talk about the build quality of Guys Trivit, which is always next level. And this speaker is personally designed for those who need a high quality portable speaker for indoor and outdoor use. There are already many portable speakers available in the market but due to being portable, their sound quality is very low.

So, I've been using it outside, on my bike, on my backpack, and just walking around. And yeah, this is actually really solid. So, let's come with me and let's see if it's worth your money or not.

So, what I hear is um Tribit sounds more natural. Um just uh has a better bass. Not deeper. There is no deep bass on that kind of speakers that in this size. So, it sounds more natural. Sounds better balanced speaker. Um The only thing uh the Soundcore Boom Go 3i wins is uh is a little bit louder because uh 15 watts versus 13 watts of power. So, both are great speakers.

That being said, I love the new buttons on the speaker. The bass button adds some nice bass to whatever is playing. The default sound is quite nice and much better and clearer than the Micro 2. There's a button next to the Bass button, which lets you sync with another speaker for Party Mode or Stereo mode, unlike the Micro 2 where you needed to play with the Bluetooth button.

It's great sound, but it's really on the edge of its limits. So, this really means that if you want to use a custom EQ, which you can, you do get very much over the limit with some settings. And then you do have some more rattling sound sometimes. But if you use this on normal EQ or use a custom EQ with not too much of bass boosting or mid boosting, it still has a pretty impressive sound performan

In terms of loudness at 70% of volume, it feels like a Micro 3 it's louder speaker, but uh when you go all the way to 100% Micro 2 catches up and they sound I would say Tribit just a slightly slightly louder. Um but it sounds more natural. It's better speaker. It has magnet. You can stick it to your, you know, refrigerator or like any metal surface in your house or outside.
