TRIBIT, a global brand which aims to make high-quality audio accessible to all, today announces the launch of the upgraded StormBox 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker. Following on from the success of its predecessor StormBox, the StormBox 2 now has upgraded features including a more stable and faster Bluetooth 5.3 allowing for a range of 30m, TRIBIT App compatibility for full customisation, TWS and 24 hour playtime. With 360°sound, 2 embedded full-range speakers and a 2*17W power output, the StormBox 2 truly packs a punch. The TRIBIT StormBox 2 is available from TRIBIT  for £63 and Amazon for £62.99.
360° surround sound:
It delivers the ultimate enjoyment and allows users to be fully immersed in the powerful 360° audio with this Bluetooth wireless speaker, delivering 34W peak power. Equipped with two 48mm full-range drivers, crystal-clear sound quality is guaranteed.
Music streaming day and night:
 
The StormBox 2 looks compact and light, but it’s a powerhouse when it comes to playtime. Armed with RunStretch technology, it can deliver an impressive 24 hours of playtime (tested at 60% volume without the XBass feature) perfect for long car rides or travel. Weighing only 580g and measuring 180mm x 69mm x 69mm, it’s easy to pack in a rucksack and take on hikes, camping trips, or holidays. The Bluetooth 5.3 and 30-meter wireless range mean there are no concerns about signal loss or dropouts, and it only takes around 4 hours to fully recharge. Better yet, the sleek yet robust design and waterproof rating of IPX7 make it the perfect companion for outdoor adventures, pool parties and trips to the beach.
Customisable:
A common complaint can often be based on personal preferences, some like more bass, some less. Some more treble, some less. The StormBox 2 has been upgraded to meet this need for personalisation. Via the TRIBIT App, the sound can be fully customised to match individual preferences and listening environments. Users can choose to switch between Audiobook, Classic, Jazz, Rock, and XBass (the default) or disable these pre-sets entirely as preferred. A customised EQ curve with nine bands that range from 80Hz to 13kHz can also be created. This includes different EQs, custom EQ, OTA upgrade and other functions.
One-click pairing: 
For users who enjoy a truly big immersive sound, TRIBIT has got it covered with the upgraded StormBox 2 which now allows for cross-model pairing! Double up the audio experience by pairing two StormBox 2 speakers or seamlessly pair with the StormBox Flow or XSound Plus 2 wireless speakers for a booming sound. Party mode can also be activated to elevate any gathering, boost the mood at parties, and enjoy the music brought by double the volume. It’s party time!

Tech Review – JBL Go 4 Bluetooth Speaker

The JBL Go 4 speaker is a small portable and lightweight speaker that you can carry anywhere with you and is IP67 waterproof and dustproof which makes it ideal for the beach or pool to get the tunes going.

This comes in several colours which is nice and we have been testing the Red one out which stands out in the crowd  but do check out the available colours which are nice and good to see rather than the boring speaker colours out there today.

The build quality is also top notch here with a familiar design and looks to their product range keeping them noticeable.

There is an app as seen below which allows you toggle between the EQ setting which gives you more punch and a boost once the boost switch is activated you cant toggle between the EQ settings you can also of course customise your EQ to your needs. You can manage calls skip and reverse tracks and higher and lower the volume with the Three raised keys up on top of the speaker

When it comes to sound being a small speaker it packs a punch and not tinny when maxed out nor is there any lag latency noted when watching videos either it will easily give good audio to a large room and even fine for a back or front garden  party it does a great job and overall anyone that picks one up will be satisfied with the price it comes in at.

 

 

Features

  • Powerful sound: The JBL Go 4 is about to become your everyday grab-and-go speaker, with a compact design that fits in the palm of your hand, delivering loud, clear JBL Pro Sound and rich, punchy bass
  • Keep the good times rolling: Don’t worry about running out of battery because this speaker has up to 7 hours of playtime on a single charge; a tap on PlaytimeBoost gets you an additional 2 hours

Tech Review – Conambo K10C Bluetooth Headset

The Conambo K10C Bluetooth Headset is one of several variants on offer from the company and ideal for those who work at home, the office or those who drive for a living.

On the headset there is an array of controls to get things done, now there is several variants of this model do do check what suits you best as some features might mean more to some than others, this one is missing skip and reverse tracks for instance and a digital display and distance is less on connectivity.

The device will work on both Android and iOS platforms and there is no app to install so it is a basic Bluetooth connection and you are good to go, there is call control music control though limited and you can access your voice assistant.

Speaking  of the controls they are well placed and very tactile and easy to navigate after a few minutes use we go through them all in the video review below. You can higher and lower the volume here and play and pause tracks.

The call quality is excellent and the volume is loud and not often I see a headset with the volume being so loud which is good to see, the calls a crisp no issues indoors or outdoors and again for music it is simple and clean so you can listen to tracks on the go and take calls but you are using one ear which is a good thing for hearing your surroundings.

Overall an inexpensive headset to have at your disposal with decent battery life and does a decent job overall with the features on board and as mentioned there is several variants available which is a good thing for those who are feature dependent.

Tech Review – Skullcandy KILO Wireless Bluetooth Speaker

This speaker is durable and rugged and as mentioned can be used anywhere so it can be taken to the beach picnic  and even for a shower if you fancy doing so and it comes with a carabiner clip to make it even easier to hang somewhere.

You can connect two of these guys together if you want to make a statement but we have just the one but on its own it still makes a statement and plenty loud, there is no app to go along with it but this is common with speakers and I think users will be please for their money here considering the other benefits you get with it.

This is a decent sized speaker and not too big meaning it is portable and manageable too so can be placed in your travel bag or tech bag if like me to bring along and blast out the sounds. The controls are simple to use and tactile too and easy to get the commands right first go and we go through all this in the full video review below.

Overall this speaker packs a punch with some nice bass thrown in and loud enough to fill a decent sized room in any house or even your back garden.

Tech Review – New Bee M51 Wireless Bluetooth Headset

The New Bee M51 Wireless Bluetooth Headset is a handy headset for call and music and ideal for those on the go or those who work in an office environment with decent battery life and comes in a handy carry case which is on the larger size compared to earbuds.

Offering all functions you would find on earbuds this headset has access to your voice assistant you can control your calls and you can manage your music being able to skip and reverse tracks play and pause and higher and lower the volume.

The mic also has a silent button which also acts as your voice assistant button and all the controls are tactile and work well and well placed on the device.

The fit is secure and will not fall off your ear with good noise isolation due to the large tip on the but still comfortable and still fits well in the ear and comfortable to wear.

The main part of the headset is quite malleable and can be moved into any position for all ears as they all differ in size and shape so this will work on anyones ears.

Call quality is also decent and the music is too considering it is not intended for music so to speak but the sound is decent and well balanced although there is no app for me it does a decent job and serves not just as a tool to manage calls on the go but a well rounded audio device in general.

Check the video review below for a detailed look and how it works.

Tech Review – ANCwear wearable bluetooth speaker BT-208

The ANCwear wearable bluetooth speaker BT-208 is a portable and wearable speaker you can bring just about anywhere and clip it on anywhere too which is a neat idea if you want some sounds on the go if you do not wear earbuds. The package comes with several options to clip it on or wear on your wrist if you like, it is about the size of an egg and does not look that much out of place on the wrist, you may see joggers going around with a phone strapped to their arm and this is a similar idea and not as cumbersome to wear.

On the speaker itself there is several marked controls on it which allows you to skip and reverse tracks higher and lower the volume and play and pause you can also control calls too and use it as a mic, the buttons are nicely raised and it is simple to use with no app to install and only connect via bluetooth, you can charge it via mirco usb which is a bit behind the times but you get decent battery life out of it for its size and will last a full day easily.

This is ideal for anyone however more suited to those who are into fitness or camping,hiking or simply for a picnic or to the beach, the speaker is not going to impress but has some bass but nothing like bigger speakers out there but packs a decent enough punch for a small circle of friends to hear. It also comes with an IPX6 rating so fine for outdoors regardless. Overall it is a portable bluetooth speaker that can be used literally anywhere.

Check out the video below and see what it is all about.
