Tribit StormBox Micro 2 | Portable Bluetooth Speaker with XBass
Tribit
Overview
The Tribit StormBox Micro 2 defies expectations for pocket-sized speakers. This compact 4-inch square packs a 48mm neodymium driver that pumps out surprisingly full sound with Tribit's XBass technology enhancing low-end punch without distortion. The IP67 rating isn't just marketing—this speaker survives full submersion in water (up to 1 meter for 30 minutes) and actually floats, making it genuinely pool and beach-proof. The thick rubber strap attaches to bike handlebars, backpack straps, or belt loops, transforming it into a truly go-anywhere speaker. Bluetooth 5.3 delivers stable connections up to 120 feet with the ability to pair two units for stereo sound. The 12-hour battery life handles full-day adventures, and the bi-directional USB-C port pulls double duty as a power bank for emergency phone charging (though this drains the speaker faster). Sound is clear and dynamic with impressive clarity for voices and acoustic music, though physics limits deep bass in something this small. For outdoor adventures, beach days, or shower soundtrack duties, the StormBox Micro 2 is genuinely hard to beat at this price.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I actually take this in the pool or shower?
Yes, genuinely. IP67 means it survives full submersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. It even floats, so a pool drop isn't fatal. We've seen users attach it to shower heads, float it in hot tubs, and use it at the beach without issues. Just don't press buttons underwater—the touch controls may trigger unexpectedly.
How loud is the Tribit StormBox Micro 2?
Surprisingly loud for its size—enough to fill a small room or be clearly heard outdoors. It won't compete with larger party speakers, but for picnics, cycling, or poolside use, it's plenty loud. XBass mode adds punch, though extreme volumes on bass-heavy tracks can cause minor distortion.
Is it worth buying two for stereo pairing?
For the money, yes. TWS stereo mode connects two StormBox Micro 2 units for genuine left/right separation and wider soundstage. It transforms them from "impressive for the size" to "genuinely good." At $50 each, a $100 stereo pair competes with single speakers at that price.
How much phone charge does the power bank provide?
About 1-1.5 partial phone charges from the 4700mAh battery—enough for emergencies, not daily charging. Using power bank mode drains the speaker, so you'll sacrifice music for phone juice. Think of it as backup insurance rather than a primary feature.
