The Tribit StormBox Micro 2 might look like almost every other Bluetooth speaker, but under the hood it packs a seriously enjoyable sound and a ton of useful features.
Better still, right now you can snap up the Micro 2 for just $49. That's an $11 discount on what was already one of the most affordable Bluetooth speakers on the market.
The Tribit StormBox Micro 2 is a tiny budget speaker that we've been recommending for years, which is an impressive feat considering there's a lot of competition out there.
And while the JBL Go 4 is an excellent rival pick (and will cost you just $40 at Amazon right now), if you're looking for something a little bigger, with a more mature sound and a longer battery life, we'd say the Tribit is certainly worth the extra $9.
The audio is certainly a big plus point, going bigger, punchier and louder than you'd expect from such an unimposing unit. Plus, its midrange vocal clarity and breadth of sound are more impressive than from the Go 4.
In our full review, we said: "Voices in particular shine through the Micro 2 speaker. They’re clear and detailed, with the speaker highlighting the midrange in an appealing manner. If you’re a fan of podcasts, this speaker will suit you well."
And when it comes to that longer battery life compared to the JBL Go 4, we're talking 12 hours, which is five hours more than the Go 4 and on par with the pricier JBL Flip 6 and Flip 5.
You can even use the Micro 2 as a power bank, which means you can charge your smartphone or your wireless earbuds' case using the speaker's USB-C port. A seriously handy feature that's fairly unexpected at this level.
And it's a rugged unit, too, with an IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating, which we tested out by dunking it the kitchen sink, in the bathroom and in a rain-spattered garden. And it passed with flying colours.
The Tribit StormBox Micro 2 proves that enthusiastic and capable performance is available for an ultra-budget price. And it's now even cheaper, just $49 at Amazon. Hurry, though; it's likely only for a limited time...
