REVIEW – For the past few years that I have been a part of the Gadgeteer team, I have been able to test and review several portable Bluetooth speakers of different sizes, power, features, and sound quality. Generally, all of the speakers I reviewed were decent with some outperforming others within their respective categories of quality of sound and features. I have not paid attention to any new models for a while, but I jumped at the opportunity to check out this Tribit StormBox Blast Portable Bluetooth Speaker. I had a hunch that I would be pleased. Let’s see if I was right.

What is it?

The Tribit StormBox Blast Portable Speaker is a 90W IPX7 Waterproof Bluetooth speaker with LED Lights, a built-in power bank, Bluetooth 5.3, TWS, Custom EQ, 30H Playtime, and  XBass.

Performance

The first thing I did out of the box was to charge the Tribit StormBox Blast Portable Bluetooth Speaker. The LED is orange when the speaker is being charged with the power off.

Once charged, I turned it on and the buttons lit up. The Bluetooth indicator flashes until a connection is made. The XBass can be turned on/off.

There is a Tribit app that can be used to customize the sound and lights. Here are some screenshots from the app:

  • The sound
  • The long-life battery
  • The light show and the ability to change it or turn it off

  2. I’d like to note an specifications error in your review. There are 4 speakers (Two drivers and two tweeters) on the front with two passive radiators on the sides. You can even see the two tweeters in the pictures you used , they are right in the upper corners under the grill.
