The MOST POPULAR Tribit speakers reviewed: Tribit StormBox vs XSound Go
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 кві 2023
- When I reviewed both the Tribit XSound Mega and Tribit StormBox Pro, I found them to be very capable speakers with no clear standout features other than that awesome price point. Plus other reviewers agree too which is why you often see one of these Tribit speakers as the top ultra-value recommendation in Bluetooth speaker buying guides.

Physical Comparison
The Tribit StormBox is a cylindrical-shaped speaker that is roughly the same size as those 12-ounce vacuum-sealed beverage bottles so you just might be able to fit it in your backpack’s water bottle sleeve. But that isn’t the only way you can travel with it as the 1.2-pound speaker also has a built-in neoprene strap for easy carrying or hanging. You can use it standing on its end or laying flat. Big graphic buttons give you fast access to volume and play/pause, while the power and Bluetooth buttons are on the back with the Xtra Bass booster.
The Tribit XSound Go is roughly 0.3 pounds lighter and a bit smaller while having a curvier pill-shaped design and no neoprene strap but you still get a black cord lanyard. Due to the curves it’s only used laying flat.
Both products boast an IPX7 waterproof design which makes them decent shower or pool speakers but I would be careful taking them to a beach or hiking trip as IPX7 lacks dustproof capabilities.
Tribit StormBox Portable vs. Tribit XSound Go Audio Performance
The StormBox’s larger frame allows Tribit to fit dual 12-watt woofers on each side providing decent 360-degree audio coverage without distortion at about 75% volume. If you are looking for added bass, you’ll appreciate the dedicated XBass button which delivers even richer lows without sacrificing clarity or overpowering the trebles or mids. The sound is good, with solid clarity, and a decent balance between the highs and lows. There is a bit of a raspiness to it, which isn’t uncommon in smaller budget speakers. Music aficionados might be bothered by this but the average consumer probably won’t care.
Head to head, there’s more loudness, power and fidelity in the StormBox, but the XSound Go still rocks. These speakers are pretty comparable when it comes to overall audio quality. They both sound good, if lacking, in some of the fidelity of higher priced speakers… But that’s not unexpected at these price points.
Battery Life & Charging
Despite the size and weight differences, both speakers house the same 2600 mAh battery. Once you crank up the volume of a fully charged StormBox, you can expect it to die out near the 18 to 20-hour mark. The XSound Go uses that same size battery but less of a power draw to stretch its battery life to about 24 hours . Both recharge using USB-C and charging time for both the XSound Go and StormBox is roughly the same at about 4 hours using a 5V/2A charging adapter.
Speakerphone Support
Speakerphone support is so inconsistent across various brands and models so you really have to dig deep into the specs to figure out which ones have a built-in microphone if you plan on using it for hands-free conversations. If you narrowed down your options to just the Tribit StormBox portable and XSound Go, choose the latter as the StormBox lacks a microphone.
Just keep your expectations with the XSound Go in check due to its budget nature as the microphone is quite weak. You must be a bit closer to the speaker for it to clearly pick up your voice. In the rare occasion where you need to use the 3.5mm jack, you won’t be able to use the microphone at all.
Overall Verdict: Tribit StormBox Portable vs. Tribit XSound Go
One thing you need to remember about these two speakers is that each of them is part of their own separate families. Tribit StormBox speakers are larger and louder but still portable while Tribit XSound speakers put portability on the center stage.
Both products have aged quite a bit but you can often get them at prices well below their MSRP due to coupons and promos so keep that in mind when comparing them against the newer Tribit speakers. Yes, this does make the entire Tribit lineup a bit confusing but Tribit is all about offering a vast variety of budget-friendly speakers that can scratch different itches. As long as you are aware of the unique strengths of each speaker (The StormBox’s strong bass and the XSound Go’s speakerphone support), both are pretty compelling options.
When it comes to pricing, The StormBox sells for about $67US while the smaller XSound Go is priced at $36. I actually think the XSound Go is the sleeper hit, since it sounds almost identical to the StormBox, but it’s at a much lower price.
Either way, I can definitely recommend both of these speakers if you’re looking for a low cost portable wireless speaker.
Been using my Tribit Xsound Go since August 2022. It sounds ok but i noticed a few things:
1. When power is around 20-30% the volume of music goes down significantly.
2. Bluetooth connection often disconnects and reconnects again. This never happens with all my other Bluetooth audio devices. I don't think it's caused by interference.
3. Listening at around 60% volume yiu will not reach 24 hours play time. That figure is too optimistic.
4. Charging time is about 4.5 hours with an 18w charger.
It just goes to show that while these Chinese brands are quite good, they just aren't as polished as more established brands
Picked up 2 xsound go for $15 each on clearance at Walmart. A steal for sure. They sound great paired together. Highly recommended.
Yo!!! I was thinking the same.
its about 25usd in the philippines now..
According to you which is better what’s your preference
Plz make vidio how connect different model to each other

Which one has good mic ...Please suggest me a speaker with good mic for zoom meeting classes
Thanks Erin.
Im wondering if you would replace a Bluetooth headset while driving then hang it in your shower?
My girlfriend has the storm box and the microphone is actually on the right side of the speaker like It’s actually the right speaker that they made into a microphone in the storm box, so yeah
The storm box has a microphone the right speaker ask as the microphone on this Bluetooth speaker I tested it with my iPhone 14 promax on Voice Memos when it was connected and I tried every spot on the speaker testing it saying hello testing until I found the spot right in the top of the speaker on the right is the microphone, so yeah and there’s a noticeable difference when you have the speaker facing and then away from you

Hi does the X sound Go sound good in personal? Im planning to buy.
yes been using mine for a month now. 5hrs of charging time, 12hrs or less on max volume with bassy songs, if 50% volume it will last for about 16-20hrs. Using Poweramp Equalizer to achieve the right sound, even though using it at max volume it doesn't go crazy it is still clear and crisp.
Ive had it for 4 years and its still working now im going for storm box
