Your efforts are much appreciated. Glad you try and keep it light. Don't listen to the ungrateful whiners, you don't need to keep apologising, it's your channel, and you owe us nothing! ✊😅👍
Ardent fan from Kenya- watched most of your videos. Currently subscribed for almost 2 years. I have benefited by getting enough information to buy the Motion Boom after some disappointments with an HK Onyx 6 (battery life, water resistant...): MB still remains my £4£ great, factoring in price, overall sound quality, Portability, battery, App Support, USB charging, IPX rating...etc). You don't need fanboys because your audience (Fan Base) is more Discerning than most out there.
I'm glad to see that the booms still stand out for (some of) their good features. I continue to enjoy them to the fullest on TWS. Thanks Alan for this new enjoyable and full of content video that finally is visible (not yesterday) 🙂
Got to love the power of editing lol still watching the first part of the video & I'm already cracking up especially when you used the power of editing to get the motion booms 💥
@@alanrossreviews I'm still really happy with two motion booms but once I see the Stormbox blast go on sale I'm definitely grabbing one 100% I know it's 200 quid in the UK which seems like a good bargain unfortunately it's almost $300 on the Canadian Amazon site again the Canadian dollar isn't the greatest 💩😆🤣😂 like I said once I see it go on sale 100% I'm buying one but until the next video have yourself a good day Alan 👍👍
Your reviews and videos are great and you have good humor, they are the most in depth and informative reviews by far (my go to vids). Keep it up and don't listen to the miserable haters they will always be there but rise above it and carry on.
you make the review more fun, foing your own thing not Caring about what others think. It makes it personal, in that way your channel is very unique and i appriciate that something like this exist. Keep up the work!
Great Review, thanks to your reviews, my interest in to the soundcore Family was Born, I started with the Motion Plus, later the motion Boom, and right now, I also have 2 Motion Boom Pluses!!!!, and you are right, something magical happens when you listen to 2 motion boom pluses. Big Fan Of you Alan.
I bought two motion booms on amazon prime day for £64 each, what a bargain! I really like their clarity! I use your custom eq, which completely transforms them, they sound so much better now. When playing at really low volume levels at night, I put on the ‘hip hop’ eq in iPhone settings. This creates an overall scooped sound giving the impression of more bass and treble, just makes it a little more exciting to listen to.
Your videos are akin to movies that gives one a sense of completion. Went down the rabbit hole of reviews not just to make a decision, but those days of work you put in so exhaustively completes any wonders we may have. You are a treasure good sir. I'm still convinced the 2 original MBs are the POUND FOR POUND CHAMPS (for the $).
Yeah its a hard call but i find myself grabbing the blast over the boom now. I know its a lot more money but still its a new standard for a £200 speaker
Picked up a Stormbox Blast on sale and really liked it. Was telling a friend to get one and the sale was even better so.... Now I have two and they sound great as a stereo pair. (Only negative is the weight) I also have the Motion Boom Plus which is a good speaker too. Just less bass and maybe less refined than the blast. (Great on last camping trip) I've had two of the Motion+ which also sound great in stereo and are way more portable. My favorite truly portable speaker presently is the Tribit Maxsound+. Other older speakers that still hold their own are the Aiwa Exos-9 (stolen) and the Klipsch KMC-3. Really enjoy your reviews, keep 'em coming!
Don’t let the negative comments of any individuals get to you as it’s said you can’t please everyone! Personally, I also listen to couple other speaker reviewers and by far you give the most details which at the end of the day is the most important thing you need to know if you are looking to buy, so keep up the great work Alan😀😀😀
Another great video Alan! Thank you for taking the time to make all the videos! I was fortunate enough to purchase 2 of the Stormbox Blasts when they first came out, and they really are awesome. I hope Tribit can send you another so you can compare them in tws with these other speakers. I also have 2 Motion Booms, and 2 Motion Plus’s, but I really only listen to the Tribit speakers. The others have their place, but they really can’t compare with the pair of Stormbox Blasts. Keep up the great work, I always look forward to watching your videos!
you have some of the recent classics there, and the blast really only let down for me is he mains lead for charging 🙈 but for sure its the new value champ i would say 👍
@@alanrossreviews I would have to agree Alan! I think Tribit may have been trying to compete with The JBL Boombox, and although I don’t own a Boombox, it seems like the Stormbox Blast is pretty close from the videos I’ve watched! I love that 2 Blasts are still cheaper than a Boombox, and in TWS, they would probably sound a lot better than one Boombox, even though the bass can’t go quite as deep . I hope Tribit can send you another one!
I do appreciate all your work Alan, as well as Oluv, Floss and others. You all take the time to make the content. And it's up to us to decide which speaker is right for us. So THANK YOU!
exactly!!!! its about freedom to gather different opinions from different places in order to be fully informed. Thats what youtube should be all about, and all reviewers should respect alternative views without getting personal if and when those views conflict. 👍
Two Boom Plus don't sounds actually amazing I expected it to sound boomy and harsh but it seems pairing two speakers actually helps sorting out those dips & peaks and improve the overall frequency response. I think reason behind the sound getting better with TWS is that the bass on the Boom Plus is not boomy or boosted in the upper bass frequencies but you have a lot of mid bass which makes up the lack of deep bass with a nice tight punch. Have to say it caught me out of surprise as I've never expected them to sound thus good!! But for me personally because of the deep bass Tribit does I would still prefer it over two Boom Plus.
@@alanrossreviews Currently also difficult to get one: "Due to high demands, this item is out of stock temporarily." ...has been on their homepage for quite some time. As soon as it is available again, the next batch will sell like hot cakes...
Just discovered you & your fabulous channel dear fellow. Well, what can I say? You have it all going on Alan. Humour with a touch of sarcasm & you are very informative mate. Thanks for your efforts, I appreciate it because I know how time consuming it really is. Keep up the good work👏
Just found this channel and couldn't miss the subscription. Amazing content, deep analysis, crazy guy. Definitely my channel to go! I have two motion boom (non plus) that I paid 100 euro in total and I was just wondering if the Stormbox is an actual upgrade, as a bass lover.
depends how you look at it, they overprice on release and then make it look like a bargain with big cuts later on but of course that was always their bottom line.
@@alanrossreviews well...not sure, I mean the Boom 2 are out since how long? 1 month? I got it recently paying about 115 euro, which I consider a nice price. But if you are talking about the launch price then yeah, that I think was way higher, something like 160? The tribit is now listed for that price and appears to be a much better value at that price.
Hello Mr. Alan R, Enjoying your content very much,I use your channel , while trying to decide on a new product! Love how it's broken down scientifically so we Can all objectively choose a sound choice 👌 I have been looking @ this speaker offering for a bit, would love to hear how it compares to some in class or so? Brookstone Big Blue Go 60 Watt Wireless Indoor Outdoor Portable Speaker, Built in Qi Charging Pad, LED Light Show, Bluetooth 5.0, IPX5 Water Resistant, Tap to Link Multiple Speakers, Karaoke Mic Input Thank you, You're the man!
Im not subscribed but ive watched many of your videos, bought a soundcore motion plus after watching you. Whenever im interested in buying a new speaker, I always find you and start all the vids.
From the various Original Motion Boom reviews and comparisons out there to date- especially factoring in price, overall sound quality, Portability...etc- the Motion Boom still shines through (there seems to be some magic in those full range drivers). Soundcore should capitalize on this with a Motion Boom 2 rendition, with slight upgrades (Aux in, Flash support, battery, BT version, hardware...etc) but retaining the general price range (
I like this intro :D yea, many people not watch whole video :P but it is normal if video has many information. unfortunately, if you want a speaker with better bass quality, the bigger one will be better (tribit). Although I admit that I would be tempted to buy a second motion boom, because the bass will not be much better than a single speaker, but the purity of the mids and highs is similar to a tribit (this is my impression after watching the movie), apart from the obvious better stereo quality. After all, personally, I would rather buy one tribit than two motion boom plus :) oh forget to add it: I'm your fanboy :D hahaha :D
Epic video! I can only imagine how much effort went into this and I appreciate it. As I said on one of your live streams I've been here since before you got to 1K subscribers, and you'll always get a full watch on every video from me even if I'm not much of a commenter.
Great video - a lot of information and some surprises too (2xBoom Plus sounds less harsh?). Outside of the Minirigs I think Ultimate Ears haven't released anything new either. The OG Boom does still have a place as I don't see myself replacing my OG Boom anytime soon for its weight and size. W-King D8 weighed about the same as the Boom Plus and that wasn't easy to carry around.
Great Work Alan, TWS Stereo Pairing Seems To Be The Way To Go, Possibly Putting Less Stress on The Individual Drive Units. Hope You Are Saving For Second Stormbox Blast . I Will Need To Hit The Gym to Carry 2 🥺!
It was your videos that convinced me to get many of my speakers. Motion+, motion boom and the mifa wildbox. The frequency graphs help a lot for me to be able to visualize the difference of all your comparison video, giving me an idea of the speaker's performance before my purchase
Hey Alan, theres a subtle bigh pitch ringing sound coming from the tribit at 13:08. I just bought 2 of these but notice that same exact ringing sound in certain songs when the high freuqncies are more muted. Its driving me crazy, i wonder if u have noticed.
Another great comparison! .. Seems that the Motion Boom PLUS is back for good now after the update... You can't go wrong with this latest Boom Plus now as It is now a good to listen and the worth buying speaker besides the Blast!.. So happy with the anker prompt responses and quality control! 👍Thanks Alan for sharing the clear information! we wanting more and do have a good rest too~!💪
Ive sent cathy, customer service team at tribit an email sayng why i bought a blast also a stormbox micro, because of your reviews , thanks alan keep doing what your doing ... you'll always be numero uno on youtube my friend 👍 .
Minirigs still impressive considering size and verstility! Also UK company which is nice to support. Big $$ though. I carry 1 MR3 when travelling, and a full 2.2 when raving at the beach :)
hey ho! my friend alan! I haven't seen earfun fly anymore! kkkk I have a tip for you! this week a friend in brazil acquired a bombox 3! and we compared it with a bombox 2! the difference in highs and mids is very big! It has much more quality and clarity! jbl hit A LOT on bb3! trust me! It has power. It's a party box. but finally with a lot of clarity in the highs and mids that JBL always lacked. warm song!!! Alan, for the kind of sound signature you like, you're going to like bb3! we also tested it against an encore. and again it was A LOT of difference in quality. bb3 remember at least a hk studio 7 with more power! I wait for your test
Great review as aways I pretty much gave up with the bluetooth speaker market after getting my JBL Xtreme years back I just felt companies like JBL were taking the piss with their prices and bluetooth speakers in general were alway missing some whether it be the sound or battery time etc...but I have to say the Soundcore Motion Boom Plus looks very promising now it's had it's firmware updates to fix many issues and the price is pretty good...keep up the good work my man
I know you can't review big speakers but I really wish you could review the partybox 710. I just received mine. The sound this thing puts out is absurd. At 35% volume with bass boost on 1 and bass on the eq all the way up my whole place sounds like it's about to crumble. These 8 inch woofers are monsters. Way more bass output than my dedicated speedwoofer 10s. I measured bass down to 26hz with extremely rolled off bass down to 23hz. If I play at 50% volume a 35hz test tone whole building shakes and everything inside it. I honestly don't know how JBL does it. The light show is amazing.
@@alanrossreviews ya it might get me evicted lol. I just try not to play it loud late. The walls actually block a decent amount of sound. But I believe 20% or higher volume after 11 would get me in trouble if I have bass maxed. I would say 30% during the day. Maybe 40% in the middle of the day on a weekend. Just have to be smart about it. The good news is I can dial down the bass it becomes more balanced and less earthquakey. So I can go like 30% late at night before walls shake. Maybe 50% on weekends for a short time. I just love the insane amount of bass you can get at such low volume levels. I can't imagine the partybox 1000. Or the 1010 or whatever it's called when it's predisessor comes out. That thing has an actual 12in downfiring sub. 🤣😅
have you tried some high quality bass traps? i have them everywhere and it does help IF they are decent quality absorbing traps rated for deep low bass.
I decided to bite the bullet and get the Blast. Mainly because of your seal of approval. Also it on sale for $170 in the US I’ve purchased 4 Bluetooth speakers in the last 3 years because of you and I’ve never been disappointed. Quite the opposite actually ☺️ Also, I hoping by having this speaker it will give me an excuse to have parties. If you build it they will come, much? 😂
Mr Alan Ross, what do you think of hifi setups with a bookshelf speaker, subwoofer and amp/DAC/receiver/magic box thing for less than $500. Steve Guettenberg and cheapaudioman made vids about setups like that, I wonder how they compare to boomboxes and these amazing Bluetooth speakers? I only ask because your channel is so much more approachable!
well i gave up separates a long time ago which is why i have an interest in Bluetooth portables.So im totally out of touch with value out there, but of course you always pay a premium on these types of speakers so a similar priced separates system is always/should always sound better.
@@alanrossreviews Do you think they will ever overlap? I just upgraded from a JBL Flip 2 to a Charge 5 and I'm stunned at the quality. At this rate separates will be overtaken within 10 years.
What quality tracks are you listening to? Those are both sbc speakers so low bitrate only. Maybe with ldac and aptx HD you could start getting close but for twice the money.
@@alanrossreviews These days it's UA-cam. I used to listen to FLACs with wired headphones, but no pre-amp. I wonder how much difference a codec makes? I'm beginning to suspect the only time I've heard truly good source music was either live or vinyl on my grandparents old Fischer stereo in college.
Oh...poor Alan... he knows what is coming... eventually it must be done... 2 Tribit StormBox Blasts. Its inevitable :) Could be a year from now, but it will happen.
The moment I realized you were comparing 2 MBP to only 1 Stormbox blast… I immediately purchased one and it arrives today.. can’t wait to decide what I will keep.
let us know how you get on but for me the blast simply sounds better with more options in its use. but much much heavier and needs mains lead to charge.
Maybe it was a bad song example, but the Minirig has no treble texture or sparkle compared to either of the other two options. Bass is very good, though.
@@alanrossreviews Sometimes the AGC on mics or cameras can compress the treble with heavy bass. I had always heard that the minirig was THE STANDARD, so it seemed odd.
How does the Tribit Compare to the much loved Harmon Kardon go+play? I love the deep warm bass on the go+play and wondered if the Tribit was along the same lines in terms of sound signature but with Higher max volume? Unfortunately my Go+Play is a few years old now and suffering from the well known battery life issue. Cheers Alan 👍🏼
the blast sounds fuller, warmer and deeper. the go play has a much tighter and harder edged sound. the treble on the blast is smoother. however the go play may suit low level listening more. however the blast is very eq'able and you can get the sound much to your liking. i tuned mine flattish and it sounds great.
It looks like the Tribit Stormbox Blast has a new firmware update, V2.6. It says “Update some functions and Optimize”. Could you test the firmware and see if there are any differences in sound as I think I will wait to update until it’s tested since we know these companies love to change the sound without telling you… cough cough JBL “bug fixes” LOL. Thanks
2 Motion Booms plus definitely sound great but I just wish I was able to take that Punchy bass and turn it more into the deep bass. Any luck on the Boombox 3 even though the U Boom L makes it sound horrible 🤭
the uboom smell, ooops i mean L. 🙈 no cant source a bb3 or even the encore 🤣 hows things with you? did you see Oluv took aim at techder audio on his last vid? you might be next if you are lucky 🤗🥳😁
woohoo! so its a full house of oluv insults for us then! phew! and the joke is....he had to change all his eq's after he got his ears cleaned out because it turned out HE was the one that was actually deaf lol
Well I just got over a fever at 39.44 degrees Celsius after traveling but everything is good. And with the mifa wildrod I did peep that but the speakers I liked (Boombox 2,Charge 5) he doesn't dislike em so I'm on everyone nice side for now 😇
Bonjour Alan. Merci for all your videos. I m not an audiophile pro, and started watching your videos for the jbl options. According to you, what would be the best 30 watt and above Bluetooth speaker compromise for outdoor music /indoor film and versatile music listening( not a boom boom fan)? A thankfull viewer from Bordeaux France. Salut
Hey alan , i need your opinion for something 😸 i bought the motion plus and two tribit micro 2 thanks to your recommendations and they're amazing as expected. I want to try something with awesome bass but on a budget , I'm more of an indoor person so I'm deciding to get either a charge 5 or an HK studio 7 , what's your say about this?
i prefer the studio 6 but both the 6 and 7 are leagues above the charge 5 in terms of deep bass. but you could also try the motion boom which has better deep bass also than charge 5 and is cheaper but also cant match the onyz series for deep bass .
Yeah if your on a budget and want bass for indoor listening the motion boom is really excellent with a custom EQ in my experience. Two is even better and will cost the same as one charge 5 lol
Sadly the motion boom isn't available in my country even in online stores but saw some local resellers selling it for the same price as the charge 5 , speaking of jbl I just saw a brand-new jbl Xtreme just a minute ago for just 80$ Is this still good for the price and bass or should i go for the 160$ studio 7?
Wow, that Stormbox Blast sounded really bad at 100% volume... I agree - for outdoor use, I'd go with two of the Motion Boom Pluses. For indoor, if I had to choose I'd go with the Stormbox Blast, and never play it at 100% volume, LOL.
Alan, which light size speakers which you have tested in the last 1-2 years are best for stereo pairing? no connection issues etc. and good quality sound. thanks
well i stopped buying pairs some time back because of the cost. ive not really had a problem with anything apart from the minirigs which are very temperamental. i was looking to get a second flex but never got round to it. they all sound good to me in stereo pairs such as the Maxsound plus, boost, motion plus...all of the ones i have do well. i would like to try a pair of charge 5s sometime too.
Evening Alan. hope that all is well. any ideas about the most relevant Bluetooth speaker for outdoor music /indoor film and versatile music listening( not a boom boom fan) in a 200€ buget? Not affraid to look at the second hand market. Merci et Salut
I bough the motion boom and even with custom EQ it's too harsh/tiresome for me indoors. Would a motion boom plus without extra bass be better or should I try a motion plus for indoors?
@@alanrossreviews thanks for the info! The audio pro is too much $$ for me, I just watched your video with the Marshall stockwell II. Do you still like it (90% indoor listening at volumes 40-60%)?
@@alanrossreviews Watching it now, I always wait until I have a halfway decent set of headphones. I think that was me that mentioned turning the two MB+ on their ends when in TWS mode.
@@alanrossreviews OK, Watched the whole thing. I agree with all of your conclusions if the title wasn't a competition for best cheap boombox. Yeah, the Stormbox Blast sounds like AAAAASSSSSSSSS at 100% but, it does hold on to deeper bass and pushes out some thin treble but that's a "boombox" and one is cheaper than two MB+... Maybe it's because my definition of a "boombox" is deepest bass and that V EQ sound. I do feel like the MB+ holds on to a lot more clarity with 0.36 at 100% volume and one on either end of the pool deck is a really nice soundstage! They sound clear and open, I just wish there was a party cast subwoofer or soundcore would come out with a JBL PartyBox style large beast that supports party cast 2.0. Shoot, even when inside if I am going to be doing something in a room for a while I will grab the 2nd MB+ and plop it down on the other side of the room.
Thinking of picking up the tribit if I could find it in stock I think they are right now actually but I'm broke but I guarantee that when I can afford it they'll be outta stock lol. All these speakers are killing my wallet
A thank you for all of your work on speakers. Based upon your reviews, for acoustic guitar , trumpet , piano etc. which of course are mid-range frequencies rather than "bass heavy" the purchase of paired two speakers of Soundcore Motion + are amazingly "mellow". Since the phone app equalizer really works, the ability to adjust the speakers is quite helpful. I truly appreciate your heading me to the best choice for my music preference. A question for the community if anyone has ever tried to pair two Soundcore Motion+ but added a third stand alone such speaker elsewhere in the room as an extra single, did this add any depth to the sound? Thanks in advance for any advice.
if you like the motion plus i always suggest having a listen to the marshal Stockwell 2 as well. though that doesnt do tws so you would be left using dual audio.
@@alanrossreviews Thank you for the excellent advice. Three of your reviews were especially helpful regarding the Marshal Stockwell 2 which for the community I recommend July 2, 2021; August 11, 2021; September19, 2021. The low volume tests were very informative. Again, all of your work on this is appreciated by an amateur like myself.
Hi Alan. Is one Motion Boom Plus louder than one Stormbox Blast? How much difference in volume is there between one of each? I’m trying to see which one to buy but I’m only buying a single speaker. Thanks!
Do you think firmware could eventually lessen the dip on the stormbox or do you think it's really a hardware issue with the crossover or something of that sort? Not too big an issue for me personally as everything about the stormbox is pretty exceptional for under $200 but I'm just curious. Thanks
Hi Alan, I wonder if you still read every comment :) Have you tried this Tribit Stormbox blast drivers-up floating? Can you confirm your does not roll to fionish with the drivers down in the water?
Yes pal ,that’s the review I was waiting for .I’m still enjoying my two Boom 1st gen .Please do a video that the original booms is shit ,so that they can dropped the price 🤫😂😂😂😂😎😎as I want four booms 1st gen now ,and I reckoned Amazon and Soundcore is watching all your reviews as well and they don’t want to drop the boom’s 1st gen price 😂😂😂😂🍺🍺
Damn ,I think Soundcore even reading comments now 😂😂😂I just check Amazon Uk now ,it’s dropped to 69quid ,already ordered two more .Can’t wait 4 booms 1st gen in stereo mode 😳😳😳BOOM fireworks💥

These comparisons are very valuable. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Another great video Alan! Thank you for taking the time to make all the videos! I was fortunate enough to purchase 2 of the Stormbox Blasts when they first came out, and they really are awesome. I hope Tribit can send you another so you can compare them in tws with these other speakers. I also have 2 Motion Booms, and 2 Motion Plus’s, but I really only listen to the Tribit speakers. The others have their place, but they really can’t compare with the pair of Stormbox Blasts.
Keep up the great work, I always look forward to watching your videos!
you have some of the recent classics there, and the blast really only let down for me is he mains lead for charging 🙈 but for sure its the new value champ i would say 👍
@@alanrossreviews I would have to agree Alan! I think Tribit may have been trying to compete with The JBL Boombox, and although I don’t own a Boombox, it seems like the Stormbox Blast is pretty close from the videos I’ve watched! I love that 2 Blasts are still cheaper than a Boombox, and in TWS, they would probably sound a lot better than one Boombox, even though the bass can’t go quite as deep . I hope Tribit can send you another one!
@@richardleblanc5145 yup the blast uses the same woofers as the bb2
I do appreciate all your work Alan, as well as Oluv, Floss and others. You all take the time to make the content. And it's up to us to decide which speaker is right for us. So THANK YOU!
exactly!!!! its about freedom to gather different opinions from different places in order to be fully informed. Thats what youtube should be all about, and all reviewers should respect alternative views without getting personal if and when those views conflict. 👍
Thank you Alan, I was wanting to hear the two motion boom plus review. I am more interested in them now but the Tribit might still be the one.
the blast is better imho.
Two Boom Plus don't sounds actually amazing I expected it to sound boomy and harsh but it seems pairing two speakers actually helps sorting out those dips & peaks and improve the overall frequency response. I think reason behind the sound getting better with TWS is that the bass on the Boom Plus is not boomy or boosted in the upper bass frequencies but you have a lot of mid bass which makes up the lack of deep bass with a nice tight punch. Have to say it caught me out of surprise as I've never expected them to sound thus good!! But for me personally because of the deep bass Tribit does I would still prefer it over two Boom Plus.
agreed prefer the tribit but as someone who couldnt listen indoors to the boom plus it totally changed my thoughts on it.
The Blast is just gonna be very hard to beat for the price. My favorite speaker right now. Overall is the best speaker. Alan knows, trust me.
yes i think its the best value right now IFF they keep the price around the £200 mark but i see its already climbing
@@alanrossreviews Currently also difficult to get one: "Due to high demands, this item is out of stock temporarily." ...has been on their homepage for quite some time. As soon as it is available again, the next batch will sell like hot cakes...
thats the trouble, not enough supply so they can keep the price high. hopefully as time goes on it will be under the £200 mark.
Yes! Another Alan Ross Review's! Now I'd say that another major major go my friend. Giving us the info wars on the Bluetooth speaker game 🎮🎯
You never miss a video 😁😁
Just discovered you & your fabulous channel dear fellow. Well, what can I say? You have it all going on Alan. Humour with a touch of sarcasm & you are very informative mate. Thanks for your efforts, I appreciate it because I know how time consuming it really is. Keep up the good work👏
hope you wasnt being sarcastic 🤣🤣👍👌
Just found this channel and couldn't miss the subscription. Amazing content, deep analysis, crazy guy. Definitely my channel to go!
I have two motion boom (non plus) that I paid 100 euro in total and I was just wondering if the Stormbox is an actual upgrade, as a bass lover.
Its louder and more punchy but without the warm character of the boom. Soundcore are crowding their own market.
@@alanrossreviews yeah this is what I got from this review as well, thanks for replying.
The Soundcore price policy is very aggressive as well.
depends how you look at it, they overprice on release and then make it look like a bargain with big cuts later on but of course that was always their bottom line.
@@alanrossreviews well...not sure, I mean the Boom 2 are out since how long? 1 month? I got it recently paying about 115 euro, which I consider a nice price.
But if you are talking about the launch price then yeah, that I think was way higher, something like 160? The tribit is now listed for that price and appears to be a much better value at that price.
Hello Mr. Alan R,
Enjoying your content very much,I use your channel , while trying to decide on a new product! Love how it's broken down scientifically so we
Can all objectively choose a sound choice 👌 I have been looking @ this speaker offering for a bit, would love to hear how it compares to some in class or so?

Thank you,
You're the man!
Im not subscribed but ive watched many of your videos, bought a soundcore motion plus after watching you. Whenever im interested in buying a new speaker, I always find you and start all the vids.
easier to find me if you are subscribed 🤭
@@alanrossreviews I've noticed that you really really like sound core. Are you being paid by them? 😅🤭
nope.
You did great perfect tone of humor and more than informative. Great job here alan 👍🤣
Thank you 😁 👍
From the various Original Motion Boom reviews and comparisons out there to date- especially factoring in price, overall sound quality, Portability...etc- the Motion Boom still shines through (there seems to be some magic in those full range drivers).
Soundcore should capitalize on this with a Motion Boom 2 rendition, with slight upgrades (Aux in, Flash support, battery, BT version, hardware...etc) but retaining the general price range (
well i guess they thought they just needed to make it bigger 🤣 but they overlooked the real magic of the og boom 🤐
I like this intro :D yea, many people not watch whole video :P but it is normal if video has many information. unfortunately, if you want a speaker with better bass quality, the bigger one will be better (tribit). Although I admit that I would be tempted to buy a second motion boom, because the bass will not be much better than a single speaker, but the purity of the mids and highs is similar to a tribit (this is my impression after watching the movie), apart from the obvious better stereo quality. After all, personally, I would rather buy one tribit than two motion boom plus :) oh forget to add it: I'm your fanboy :D hahaha :D
haha! finally have a fanboy 😝💪💪 lets see if it changes my life 😁😁
Epic video! I can only imagine how much effort went into this and I appreciate it. As I said on one of your live streams I've been here since before you got to 1K subscribers, and you'll always get a full watch on every video from me even if I'm not much of a commenter.
those full views really help the algorithm so i thank you for persevering from start to finish and thanks for being part of my journey 💪💪
Great video - a lot of information and some surprises too (2xBoom Plus sounds less harsh?). Outside of the Minirigs I think Ultimate Ears haven't released anything new either. The OG Boom does still have a place as I don't see myself replacing my OG Boom anytime soon for its weight and size. W-King D8 weighed about the same as the Boom Plus and that wasn't easy to carry around.
for sure we are getting less and less decent advances in the bluetooth speaker world.
TRIBIT STORMBOX BLAST 🤯💯
🤗
Great Work Alan, TWS Stereo Pairing Seems To Be The Way To Go, Possibly Putting Less Stress on The Individual Drive Units. Hope You Are Saving For Second Stormbox Blast . I Will Need To Hit The Gym to Carry 2 🥺!
im hoping to convince tribit its in their interests to send me a second one 😝
It was your videos that convinced me to get many of my speakers. Motion+, motion boom and the mifa wildbox. The frequency graphs help a lot for me to be able to visualize the difference of all your comparison video, giving me an idea of the speaker's performance before my purchase
What you got your eyes 👀 on next? Blast?
Huhu......rm830 in Malaysia.....
Have to close my eyes for now 🙈😂
🤯
Recently gotten 2 wildbox for rm600 😆
so with the new firmware they will do tws, or maybe you already have the new firmware?
This mostly convinced me Ima need 2 tribits 😅 and stock 😭 … thanks amazing work
yup! two blasts would be home hifi 😁 but 10kg is pushing portability.
@@alanrossreviews could you do this again but without the mini rig and replace with the JBL bb2 please mate 👍
Tribit stormbox blast is in stock on Amazon uk 👍
£210 with voucher, looking good 👍👍
Hey Alan, theres a subtle bigh pitch ringing sound coming from the tribit at 13:08. I just bought 2 of these but notice that same exact ringing sound in certain songs when the high freuqncies are more muted. Its driving me crazy, i wonder if u have noticed.
im not hearing it to be honest , maybe my ears aren't what they sued to be 😣
Another great comparison! .. Seems that the Motion Boom PLUS is back for good now after the update... You can't go wrong with this latest Boom Plus now as It is now a good to listen and the worth buying speaker besides the Blast!.. So happy with the anker prompt responses and quality control! 👍Thanks Alan for sharing the clear information! we wanting more and do have a good rest too~!💪
thanks for that 👍 yes soundcore support have been top notch handling this awful launch.
Ive sent cathy, customer service team at tribit an email sayng why i bought a blast also a stormbox micro, because of your reviews , thanks alan keep doing what your doing ... you'll always be numero uno on youtube my friend 👍 .
well good for me to have my name dropped...tx for the shoutout 👍👍😁
Minirigs still impressive considering size and verstility! Also UK company which is nice to support. Big $$ though. I carry 1 MR3 when travelling, and a full 2.2 when raving at the beach :)
wired or wireless?
Nice ! Can you test Harman Kardon Citation 200 vs Boom + ?
hey ho! my friend alan! I haven't seen earfun fly anymore! kkkk
I have a tip for you! this week a friend in brazil acquired a bombox 3! and we compared it with a bombox 2! the difference in highs and mids is very big! It has much more quality and clarity! jbl hit A LOT on bb3! trust me! It has power. It's a party box. but finally with a lot of clarity in the highs and mids that JBL always lacked. warm song!!! Alan, for the kind of sound signature you like, you're going to like bb3! we also tested it against an encore. and again it was A LOT of difference in quality. bb3 remember at least a hk studio 7 with more power! I wait for your test
well hope to get hold of one next week 🤞👍
Great review as aways I pretty much gave up with the bluetooth speaker market after getting my JBL Xtreme years back I just felt companies like JBL were taking the piss with their prices and bluetooth speakers in general were alway missing some whether it be the sound or battery time etc...but I have to say the Soundcore Motion Boom Plus looks very promising now it's had it's firmware updates to fix many issues and the price is pretty good...keep up the good work my man
but the blast better for pure sound while the boom plus more of an outside party speaker
It came back !
crazy, for no apparent reason the audio was getting chopped each time i exported the freaking video... 🙈

@@alanrossreviews You can make it 5 😝
I always watch multiple times
I thiught the blast compared to two og motion booms so I'm interested to see this one.
let us know what you think.
stormbox blast vs two w-king d10!!
I know you can't review big speakers but I really wish you could review the partybox 710. I just received mine. The sound this thing puts out is absurd. At 35% volume with bass boost on 1 and bass on the eq all the way up my whole place sounds like it's about to crumble. These 8 inch woofers are monsters. Way more bass output than my dedicated speedwoofer 10s. I measured bass down to 26hz with extremely rolled off bass down to 23hz. If I play at 50% volume a 35hz test tone whole building shakes and everything inside it. I honestly don't know how JBL does it. The light show is amazing.
yeah the 710 would get me evicted 🤮
@@alanrossreviews ya it might get me evicted lol. I just try not to play it loud late. The walls actually block a decent amount of sound. But I believe 20% or higher volume after 11 would get me in trouble if I have bass maxed. I would say 30% during the day. Maybe 40% in the middle of the day on a weekend. Just have to be smart about it. The good news is I can dial down the bass it becomes more balanced and less earthquakey. So I can go like 30% late at night before walls shake. Maybe 50% on weekends for a short time.
I just love the insane amount of bass you can get at such low volume levels. I can't imagine the partybox 1000. Or the 1010 or whatever it's called when it's predisessor comes out. That thing has an actual 12in downfiring sub. 🤣😅
have you tried some high quality bass traps? i have them everywhere and it does help IF they are decent quality absorbing traps rated for deep low bass.
@@alanrossreviews I have to figure out where to get them. Also the best kind. I have seen many different variations.
Look for some that publish the nrc rating along with them and that the absorbtion is 50 hz and lower
Coming from a fanboy, thanks again! Another brilliant video :)
oh yeah i know your are a proper fanboy! 🤗 never in doubt 😝😝
I decided to bite the bullet and get the Blast. Mainly because of your seal of approval. Also it on sale for $170 in the US
I’ve purchased 4 Bluetooth speakers in the last 3 years because of you and I’ve never been disappointed. Quite the opposite actually ☺️
Also, I hoping by having this speaker it will give me an excuse to have parties. If you build it they will come, much? 😂
well im sure you will be happy but if not...sorry 😝 its certainly my go to right now as it could sound good with anything with a little eq.
You’ve mentioned it a few times but now that I have it I just have to reiterate that the StormBox Blast is heavy as F#%@😒. Sounds primo though.
Always been a fanboy of your content
this is great to hear 😝😝🥳
Mr Alan Ross, what do you think of hifi setups with a bookshelf speaker, subwoofer and amp/DAC/receiver/magic box thing for less than $500. Steve Guettenberg and cheapaudioman made vids about setups like that, I wonder how they compare to boomboxes and these amazing Bluetooth speakers?
I only ask because your channel is so much more approachable!
well i gave up separates a long time ago which is why i have an interest in Bluetooth portables.So im totally out of touch with value out there, but of course you always pay a premium on these types of speakers so a similar priced separates system is always/should always sound better.
@@alanrossreviews Do you think they will ever overlap? I just upgraded from a JBL Flip 2 to a Charge 5 and I'm stunned at the quality. At this rate separates will be overtaken within 10 years.
What quality tracks are you listening to? Those are both sbc speakers so low bitrate only. Maybe with ldac and aptx HD you could start getting close but for twice the money.
@@alanrossreviews These days it's UA-cam. I used to listen to FLACs with wired headphones, but no pre-amp. I wonder how much difference a codec makes?
I'm beginning to suspect the only time I've heard truly good source music was either live or vinyl on my grandparents old Fischer stereo in college.
Oh yeah still nobody can answer why vinyl sounds so good when technically its inferior. But there is a magic to the sound that's a mystery 👌👌
Oh...poor Alan... he knows what is coming... eventually it must be done... 2 Tribit StormBox Blasts. Its inevitable :) Could be a year from now, but it will happen.
yup! gotta be done 😝
The moment I realized you were comparing 2 MBP to only 1 Stormbox blast… I immediately purchased one and it arrives today.. can’t wait to decide what I will keep.
let us know how you get on but for me the blast simply sounds better with more options in its use. but much much heavier and needs mains lead to charge.
@@alanrossreviews No question the Storm Box Blast! The sound and lighting are perfect for my style of music. So happy you made the videos!
The motion boom+ were selling for £149 each today on their website, was so tempted to get 2 but I had just ordered the Sony srs xg500
Maybe it was a bad song example, but the Minirig has no treble texture or sparkle compared to either of the other two options. Bass is very good, though.
in reality it does have a treble lift, not sure why this didnt come through.
@@alanrossreviews Sometimes the AGC on mics or cameras can compress the treble with heavy bass. I had always heard that the minirig was THE STANDARD, so it seemed odd.
How does the Tribit Compare to the much loved Harmon Kardon go+play? I love the deep warm bass on the go+play and wondered if the Tribit was along the same lines in terms of sound signature but with Higher max volume? Unfortunately my Go+Play is a few years old now and suffering from the well known battery life issue. Cheers Alan 👍🏼
the blast sounds fuller, warmer and deeper. the go play has a much tighter and harder edged sound. the treble on the blast is smoother. however the go play may suit low level listening more. however the blast is very eq'able and you can get the sound much to your liking. i tuned mine flattish and it sounds great.
@@alanrossreviews Brilliant thank you so much Alan! I think I have to get the Blast I keep going back to it over the Motion boom+ 👍🏼
@@alanrossreviews I just received my blast and I am blown away! Fantastic bit of kit! Thanks so much 🙏🏼
@@PyroNut94 job done 👍 👌
Hey Great Job once again ! Could you please review the new BOSE SoundLink Revolve+ II ?

2 Tribits would be interesting.
yup! Tribit if you read this.....are you getting the message 😝
REALLY AWESOME VIDEO AS USUAL. 👍❤💛💙💜💚❤
Thank you 🤗😝👍👍
It looks like the Tribit Stormbox Blast has a new firmware update, V2.6. It says “Update some functions and Optimize”. Could you test the firmware and see if there are any differences in sound as I think I will wait to update until it’s tested since we know these companies love to change the sound without telling you… cough cough JBL “bug fixes” LOL. Thanks
yes it will be something i will do for sure......just nothing happens quick with me 🙈
@@alanrossreviews Thanks! You upload faster than most others🙂
you think? i feel im always 3 months behind the curve 🤣

this is great news 🥳🥳🥳👌👍💪
Would be cool to see 2 w-king d10 vs 2 motion boom. Keep up the great vids. 👌
only have the one d10 and not sure its worth a second? it was only at max volume it held its own
@@alanrossreviews Because I consider also the battery life in that price range. THats why i'm curious about 2 d10s ....
well i can only assume it will sound better than a single for sure.
Hi Alan, do you maybe know when Mifa will release the app and TWS option that they promised for August for the Wildbox?
no sorry, i dotn really have that sort of contact with any of these companies, i try to keep as independent as possible.
@@alanrossreviews hi Alan, thanks for responding anyway, keep up the great work that you deliver!
2 Motion Booms plus definitely sound great but I just wish I was able to take that Punchy bass and turn it more into the deep bass. Any luck on the Boombox 3 even though the U Boom L makes it sound horrible 🤭
the uboom smell, ooops i mean L. 🙈 no cant source a bb3 or even the encore 🤣 hows things with you? did you see Oluv took aim at techder audio on his last vid? you might be next if you are lucky 🤗🥳😁
@@alanrossreviews He also took aim at me, I said I like Maxsound Plus more. Apparently that's a lie or I'm deaf 😁
woohoo! so its a full house of oluv insults for us then! phew! and the joke is....he had to change all his eq's after he got his ears cleaned out because it turned out HE was the one that was actually deaf lol
@@alanrossreviews As long as he offers an update to eliminate that treble peak at 14khz I'm fine 😂
Well I just got over a fever at 39.44 degrees Celsius after traveling but everything is good. And with the mifa wildrod I did peep that but the speakers I liked (Boombox 2,Charge 5) he doesn't dislike em so I'm on everyone nice side for now 😇
Do I order my second boom plus NOW, your shout Alan.
Whats the other option? A second one will sound epic especially outdoors.
Alan.. Hope you can review the newest 2.6v firmware update for this Tribit Blast someday.. perhaps the dip gone by the update.. hehe
sadly no change 🙈
Bonjour Alan. Merci for all your videos. I m not an audiophile pro, and started watching your videos for the jbl options. According to you, what would be the best 30 watt and above Bluetooth speaker compromise for outdoor music /indoor film and versatile music listening( not a boom boom fan)? A thankfull viewer from Bordeaux France. Salut
hum, i wouldnt start with the power rating as a requirement. whats your budget and size preference?
Prends la Stormbox Blast si tu en as les moyens 👍
Tu peux la tuner plutôt neutre.
Just look at the video description.
200€ with no size preference. thank you
@@ThibautMahringer merci Thibaut, je n'en trouve pas de neuve.
Hey alan , i need your opinion for something 😸 i bought the motion plus and two tribit micro 2 thanks to your recommendations and they're amazing as expected. I want to try something with awesome bass but on a budget , I'm more of an indoor person so I'm deciding to get either a charge 5 or an HK studio 7 , what's your say about this?
i prefer the studio 6 but both the 6 and 7 are leagues above the charge 5 in terms of deep bass. but you could also try the motion boom which has better deep bass also than charge 5 and is cheaper but also cant match the onyz series for deep bass .
Yeah if your on a budget and want bass for indoor listening the motion boom is really excellent with a custom EQ in my experience. Two is even better and will cost the same as one charge 5 lol
Sadly the motion boom isn't available in my country even in online stores but saw some local resellers selling it for the same price as the charge 5 , speaking of jbl I just saw a brand-new jbl Xtreme just a minute ago for just 80$
Is this still good for the price and bass or should i go for the 160$ studio 7?
the xtreme 1? that is good for upper bass, studio 7 for deep bass but poor battery life.
Yup the first extreme , if you were in my shoes which would you choose?
You are the best!
appreciate that, thank you 😁
Wow, that Stormbox Blast sounded really bad at 100% volume...
I agree - for outdoor use, I'd go with two of the Motion Boom Pluses. For indoor, if I had to choose I'd go with the Stormbox Blast, and never play it at 100% volume, LOL.
Indoors I never go past 50% with it, it's too powerful 😂
A lot also depends on what type of bass you are looking for
Sirr Alan 🏆. I’m here
You made it 👍👍😋
@@alanrossreviews hope you’re doing well?
oh yeah im fine, hope you are good also?
Alan, which light size speakers which you have tested in the last 1-2 years are best for stereo pairing? no connection issues etc. and good quality sound. thanks
well i stopped buying pairs some time back because of the cost. ive not really had a problem with anything apart from the minirigs which are very temperamental. i was looking to get a second flex but never got round to it. they all sound good to me in stereo pairs such as the Maxsound plus, boost, motion plus...all of the ones i have do well. i would like to try a pair of charge 5s sometime too.
@@alanrossreviews thank you!
Do we sing on tribit stormbox blast?
sure go for it 👍
Evening Alan. hope that all is well. any ideas about the most relevant Bluetooth speaker for outdoor music /indoor film and versatile music listening( not a boom boom fan) in a 200€ buget? Not affraid to look at the second hand market. Merci et Salut
it always worries me when people are wanting these type of speakers for movies. will you be listening via bluetooth or aux?
@@alanrossreviews thank you for your answer. I would say auxillary. Merci
I bough the motion boom and even with custom EQ it's too harsh/tiresome for me indoors. Would a motion boom plus without extra bass be better or should I try a motion plus for indoors?
well i hesitate to sat the boom plus if you find the OG boom tiring. maybe something like the audio pro c3?
@@alanrossreviews thanks for the info! The audio pro is too much $$ for me, I just watched your video with the Marshall stockwell II. Do you still like it (90% indoor listening at volumes 40-60%)?
@@Fattony6666 yes its a really sweet sounding speaker, just has a tad too much echo and not enough volume but its a great speaker.

not yet, the firmware is at the top of all the audio clips.
@@alanrossreviews I didn’t even pay attention to it I was listening to your video through my headphones love the channel keep up the good work
I haven't even watched it yet and I kinda already assume that the single blast will beat the two MB+ in the boombox category.
let us know when you watched it 🥳
@@alanrossreviews Watching it now, I always wait until I have a halfway decent set of headphones. I think that was me that mentioned turning the two MB+ on their ends when in TWS mode.
@@alanrossreviews OK, Watched the whole thing. I agree with all of your conclusions if the title wasn't a competition for best cheap boombox. Yeah, the Stormbox Blast sounds like AAAAASSSSSSSSS at 100% but, it does hold on to deeper bass and pushes out some thin treble but that's a "boombox" and one is cheaper than two MB+...
Maybe it's because my definition of a "boombox" is deepest bass and that V EQ sound. I do feel like the MB+ holds on to a lot more clarity with 0.36 at 100% volume and one on either end of the pool deck is a really nice soundstage! They sound clear and open, I just wish there was a party cast subwoofer or soundcore would come out with a JBL PartyBox style large beast that supports party cast 2.0.
Shoot, even when inside if I am going to be doing something in a room for a while I will grab the 2nd MB+ and plop it down on the other side of the room.
Yeah once youve heard two pluses its hard to go back to a single
Sorry i remember comments better than i recall who said them 🤣🤣
Listening with 2.2 minirig
Thinking of picking up the tribit if I could find it in stock I think they are right now actually but I'm broke but I guarantee that when I can afford it they'll be outta stock lol. All these speakers are killing my wallet
at least it wont kill your wallet like the boombox would 😁
@@alanrossreviews luckily soundcore and tribit know how to price their speakers
Nice Video! The Blast is a great thing
yup best value around for sure
A thank you for all of your work on speakers. Based upon your reviews, for acoustic guitar , trumpet , piano etc. which of course are mid-range frequencies rather than "bass heavy" the purchase of paired two speakers of Soundcore Motion + are amazingly "mellow". Since the phone app equalizer really works, the ability to adjust the speakers is quite helpful. I truly appreciate your heading me to the best choice for my music preference. A question for the community if anyone has ever tried to pair two Soundcore Motion+ but added a third stand alone such speaker elsewhere in the room as an extra single, did this add any depth to the sound? Thanks in advance for any advice.
if you like the motion plus i always suggest having a listen to the marshal Stockwell 2 as well. though that doesnt do tws so you would be left using dual audio.
@@alanrossreviews Thank you for the excellent advice. Three of your reviews were especially helpful regarding the Marshal Stockwell 2 which for the community I recommend July 2, 2021; August 11, 2021; September19, 2021. The low volume tests were very informative. Again, all of your work on this is appreciated by an amateur like myself.
Hi Alan, please can you tell me the best bluetooth speaker for indoors / at low volume? Ideally I could crank it up outside occasionally too.
Cheers!!
So many different combinations.
lots of options, life is good again 💪
Dude... I like lights to just not those lights! (Cheap looking)

Hello sir. I have never seen a jbl pulse series om your channel.
correct 😁 i do not have more money than sense ✔

Hi Alan. Is one Motion Boom Plus louder than one Stormbox Blast? How much difference in volume is there between one of each? I’m trying to see which one to buy but I’m only buying a single speaker. Thanks!
about the same actually in technical terms. you can make both louder by pushing mids and highs in app.
Do you think firmware could eventually lessen the dip on the stormbox or do you think it's really a hardware issue with the crossover or something of that sort?
Not too big an issue for me personally as everything about the stormbox is pretty exceptional for under $200 but I'm just curious.
Thanks
If you listen more than a couple of meters away it won't be so obvious once it gets mixed with room reflections. But yeah eq could sort it
Butt can you turn the lights down on tribit? 👌🙂
