Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 vs Bose Soundlink Micro for best small speaker! 👌
Ойын-сауық
Bose Soundlink Micro vs the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 small budget bluetooth speaker. The old Bose Micro remains the reference point for very small form factor portable speakers. I compare it with the new in 2022 Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 speaker. full test for maximum loudness and biggest bass. Best portable small form speaker for 2022.

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
A little bigger but a decent listen for full body sound at a decent price ($50) BOGASING M4 (some distortion issues): geni.us/bogasingm4
Bass Heavy Speakers:
Harman Kardon Go+ (mid and upper bass heavy but with decent balance): Play geni.us/goplay
Onyx Studio 6 (warmer than the 7, maybe too bass heavy in balance): geni.us/onyxstudio6
Bag of Riddim 2: not much deep bass but dollops of mid and upper bass help to give a warm and open sound. A good fun listen but not so accurate in reproduction. 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
Only mono but has a very clear and dynamic sound at low volumes and can go reasonably loud but will become a little 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 sets the standard for size/quality ratio for travel (battery drain issues)
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
Tribit Xsound Mega: medium sized mono speaker with fun bass and light show. geni.us/xsoundmega
Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 takes on the Bose Soundlink Micro :)

i just ordered a teufel rockster cross, i don't know if teufel ships to the uk but maybe this would also be an interesting speaker for you to review and conpare to speakers like the xtreme 3 and motion boom. I'm curious how they compare and would love to see that video.

Supposedly, or better yet allegedly 😂, there’s a second iteration of the Soundlink Micro that’s pretty close to being released. I read this recently but don’t remember where 🤔 I’m going to cop the StormBox Micro 2 mainly because of its larger battery. That was my only with grip v1.

Hello Alan, based on this video, i was convinced to go with the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 even though i love warm sound signature like that of Motion Boom, but for what its worth the Tribit is the better call for me here, i mostly listen to it with its back on the ground & drivers & buttons facing upwards(off axis), it arrived my destination 2 days ago with firmware 1.1.8 but i see the new update pop up to update to version 1.2.4 Is it advisable to update to this 1.2.4, which firmware sounds the best so i can stick to it, the one you used on this video is 0.1.8 Thanks!

The Bose soundlink Micro was the first and only micro speaker I ever had 2 years ago. It was ok but no matter how I tried to use it I couldn't get myself to like it so less than 1 year I sold it. The Tribit wins for me but I still couldn't find a use for it😅 OH I just got my second Motion Boom and God damn Alan it makes a difference. My first unit is overall sounds a bit better than my second one. But the second one doesn't distort and it has more mids.
