Compact, budget-friendly Bluetooth speaker heads for a high-stakes showdown against a premium JBL model, boasting a top-notch rating.
In the ever-growing market of Bluetooth speakers, Tribit has introduced a new contender – the StormBox Mini Plus. This compact, budget-friendly alternative to major brands promises immersive stereo sound, waterproofing, and a host of other attractive features.
The StormBox Mini Plus boasts twin 48mm full-range drivers and a single passive radiator, providing a sound quality that is both clear and balanced, enhanced by Tribit's 'Band Dynamic Range Control' technology. It measures approximately 4.6 x 3.5 x 3.5 inches and weighs around 545g, making it highly portable.
One of the standout features of the StormBox Mini Plus is its IPX7 waterproof rating, ensuring it can withstand immersion in up to one metre of water for 30 minutes. It also offers interactive LED lights that pulse in rhythm with the music, adding a fun element to your listening experience.
In terms of connectivity, the StormBox Mini Plus supports Bluetooth 5.4 and AAC and SBC codecs, and includes a 3.5mm aux input for added versatility. It is available in black, blue, and green finishes, priced at £30 / $40 / €33 for the black version and £32 / $43 / €35 for the green or blue models.
Comparatively, the JBL Go 4, which generally sits at around £33, is smaller and lighter than the StormBox Mini Plus but lacks the detailed hardware specifications available for the Tribit speaker. While the JBL Go 4 is praised for its compact size and decent sound output, the StormBox Mini Plus offers more advanced features and longer battery life.
The StormBox Mini Plus delivers 12 watts of total power and offers up to around 12 hours of playtime at a reasonable volume, providing ample listening time. In contrast, the JBL Go 4 offers between 7 to 9 hours of battery life.
It's worth noting that the StormBox Mini Plus has been compared favourably to other portable speakers in the market, including the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3 or Wonderboom 4, in terms of size and shape. However, the StormBox Mini Plus has not been reviewed separately, although another Tribit speaker, the Stormbox Micro 2, has been reviewed.
The StormBox Mini Plus is one of the speakers reviewed in "Best Bluetooth speakers tried and tested for every budget", making it a solid choice for those seeking a budget-friendly, feature-rich speaker with good battery life. Furthermore, the speaker's integrated microphone allows for hands-free calls, adding to its practicality.
In conclusion, the Tribit StormBox Mini Plus offers a compelling blend of portability, sound quality, and features at an affordable price point. Whether you're looking for a speaker for outdoor activities, a party, or just everyday use, the StormBox Mini Plus could be a great addition to your tech collection.
