Just came across your channel and love your sense of humour and in depth reviews! I bought the Stormbox 2 but I keep telling myself I should just get the Soundcore Motion+ for an extra $20 and put myself out of my misery. Just not sure how it holds up in 2024.
I just waiting for mine to be delivered? I have the tribit stormbox 1, tribit stormbox micro 2, xsound go, thunderbox, tronsmart T7 mini and huawei sound joy 😊👍
For me I've found that the Tribit StormBox Micro 2 for portability with the StormBox Blast for group listening have been the perfect combination. The Micro 2 for it's size is a remarkable speaker in terms of features and sound, I actually carry it on my manbag everywhere I go because of how small yet mighty it is. And the Blast? Need I say anything about that? I find it shocking how being a long time JBL person having owned, Lord, tons of them, that some no-name brand comes along and sweeps them off their feet. I only recommend Tribit these days...especially for the price! The Blast constantly being under $150 on Amazon is an insane bargain! Anyways, thanks Alan for all these reviews! You're very entertaining and informative and I've never found it "difficult" to watch your videos...ignore the haters, you're doing this correctly.
It's literally the same story for me, i had the JBL charge 3, Xtreme 1, flip 4 and clip 3 and now i sold all of them and i use the stormbox micro 2 and the stormbox blast like you, they are way Better. I also have the tribit xsound mega and thats a good middle size speaker also because It has a carrying strap.
35:30 apple airpods pros have a feature called spatialise stereo… it simulates two speakers playing in front of you in the equilateral triangle configuration. This also makes the vocals sound in front of you instead of inside your head. Not only that, it can scan your ear pinna to match the resonances of your ear pinna…
That drove me absolutely nuts, tilt or turn your head slightly and you get all sorts of volume imbalance between L and R, it reminded me of a dodgy crossfader on a mixer, or the plugs on Sennheiser HD25 headphones where they woukd begin to cut out unless they are exactly at the point between inside and outside of the jack where it liked it. Spatial audio did this to me…… *shudders*. Disable that nonsense 😅
Guys this is the most underrated speaker. My solid favorite. Tried many many, charge 5, flare 2, motion + etc but this one has the best bass ever with low volume listening. You also hear some mids for the first time from your favorite songs. A very special speaker, tribit stormbox.
I have tried many many speakers too along with stormbox , and I can wholeheartedly disagree. Just Flip 6 leaves it in the dust, so I don't know how this is comparable to Charge 5.
Hi Alan, addicted to ur videos, What would be your choice in the 360 portable speakers segment?, Stormbox 2, W-King D320, Soundcore Flare, Tronsmart T7? is it worth buying two for TWS?
It looks like bt speaker technology hasn't improved over the years, and newer speakers from a specific series aren't iterations, but speakers with a different configuration or tuning.
I'll confess I've more or less done the same with the Tronsmart T7. I have that speaker hanging on a hook at my workstation around head height at work - when I'm not moving around I'll stand in front of it for stereo.
Haha that made me laugh because in our warehouse I have doss and Tronsmart something (one with volume dial on top). Not bad for work speakers. I also have storm box 1 and will get this new one because they make great cycling speaker in those bottle holders and sound good especially for the early bird prices. I can't believe people buy JBL clip 5 that costs more 😂😂😂
@@simonsaysrewind 360 Speakers make amazing warehouse speakers. A great mood booster for your colleagues. It's a shame the batteries don't last long at max volume.
Yes thats why I have a power bank and spare speaker. I have an advertising cage at work so whilst I can't have music extreme loud like party boxes .. it seems loud with acoustics of warehouse. 😂@@KnightSparhawk
@@simonsaysrewind I'm in the opposite boat. Loud machinery. Not wrong about acoustics. When the machinery stops everyone knows where that speaker is at😅. There isn't a middle ground with these 360 speakers. You got something the size of the Stormbox Pro but then jumps to the too big LG Xboom 360.
Hi Brother i am still waiting for the Soundcore Rave Party 2 review i know you have that speaker so please make it fast everyone in Lithuania 🇱🇹 want to see that !!!
Bro, alan said that he will make now video once a week! Alan is older than us, youngies which have a lot of energy. Alan is now probably resting so gave him sometime
nah i said at BEST i can do a video a week. its not age its time, i work full time and have other commitments,. youtube was only ever meant to be something for me to chill with but its become quite stressful.
Same scenario here. My options are Xsound mega, Stormbox Box 2 and Xsound plus 2. I ended up getting Xsound plus 2. No regrets, the sound quality is one of the best and it's loud as well. I'm using Alan's EQ. It is much better than the xbass off preset and Maxsound Plus traditional eq.
@@alanrossreviews Thanks for the reply, It would be more helpful if you could suggest best portable speaker under 75 $ (6000 indian rupees ) considering sound quality and battery. I found xsoundplus 2, stormbox2, soundcore glow, earfun uboom L, jbl flip 5. Which is best among those? still xsoundplus 2 or any other in this range?
@@alanrossreviews Thanks for reply. But if I narrow down to best sound quality with high base, good battery and long lasting, then it would be xsoundplus 2 right? or any other if u can reccommend within 75 $?
Hi Mr Ross...i mean Alan😊 Thanks as always for your in-depth reviews always with a touch of humor. I just saw Soundcore posted the new Soundcore Boom 2 plus to be launched June 29th. I'm sure they sent out review units to a few Bluetooth reviewers.Hopefully this time you got one in advance of the reveal date. Then again maybe they avoid hardcore detailed reviews before the speaker is released. But I hope they send you one at some point..either way I'm sure you will get your hands on one, maybe two if they decide to send one after you already bought one😅 I've been eagerly waiting for the upgrade to my MB+. I just hope it delivers the goods. It will most likely be facing serious competition from the likes of W-king X20 and I'm sure there will be a Tribit Stormbox Blast(2) around the corner as well. I'm certain you will get one of those in advance of the reveal. I've known of this speaker for many many months.."had to pull my zipper up". But glad it is finally here just in time for the beach trips and backyard summer fun. Will definitely be getting it.
I'm sure you will eventually offer an honest review and if it delivers the goods you will say it as you see/hear it. I hope they took into account and improved all the weaknesses of the MB+. Hoping for that sweet deep bass rumble..I'm not a fan of upper bass.
@@alanrossreviewsJust got the Stormbox 2 and it sounds good especially on my personal EQ. Posted a vid in this channel about Stormbox with flip, hope you can chack it out.
Just scored 2 for just under 70 quid can't wait to try them out. Do you have a custom eq for the SB2 that you prefer? If not no worries :) Always appreciate your input and your videos 👍👍 can't wait for the next one

With a traditional stereo design, there's no ambiguity, you face the speaker, it sounds good or not, the end 😂
@@alanrossreviews Bose speakers sound unpleasant to me, never heard one where I didn’t hear a big hole in the mids and way too sharp treble. And minirigs are great, but the fact you need several units and a sub turn me off. I have Charge 5 that I really like, but it’s very much mono sounding. I’d love to get a good stereo speaker for the size, but I see none that are truly interesting. Oh well, I keep hope, Stormbox 2 won’t be the one though 🤷♂️
Another interesting detailed review straight from Alan's kingdom😅 I didn't know Soundcore glow only had one driver, that's a mono speaker, i prefer how the Tribit xsound plus 2 sounds overall compared to others & the form factor too, I'm not a big fan of 360° speakers really I wish Tribit will come out with speakers in form factor of mifa wildbox, jbl xtreme 3, motion boom, it'll be really nice plus party speakers too, it's all about company's budget anyways More power to you Alan Cheers!
Hi Alan, I’m looking for a good speaker in this size range. I did watch your travel size video already but can’t figure out what speaker to choose. I mostly listen to hip hop, love bass, and will be listening at 70-90% volume most the time. From your videos I’ve narrowed it down to the soundcore glow, soundcore motion 300, xsound plus 2, and soundcore boost. Which would you choose?
Hi Al, been using this StormBox 2 for almost a week noe, and all the thung I can say is, it has a fairly good sound and actually is comparable to the flip 6 (of course flio 6 will have boomier bass and harsher treble) especially if EQued.
Had to comment for your algorithm, the “crybaby” version had me laughing. The whole point of me seeking your content out is for the longer form, nuance and incidentals thown in with good usable information on which to make purchasing choices with. That’s it! You ask nothing for doing it and doubtless put your own funds into the pursuit to boot, so thank you Alan.
People think as a youtuber you make a ton of money even as a small channel. Reality for someone like me that refuses to do paid reviews my amazon and ad links are maybe 30% of my total outlay for the channel. And thats just what i spend on speakers. Then i have bigger outlays for equipment whether it be cameras, software or stuff for recording and measuring. So it is hard when people moan about what i do and reddit thinks monetising my work is ok.
As always it’s a perspective thing mate, folks on the outside always think you’re going to be bathed in freebies and lavished with sponsorships and the like. There’s the hobbiest youtube (which personally i think is the heart and soul) and then there is the business youtube and that’s where everything we hate about the outside world and it’s fakery - finds itself into our entertainment and hobbys. Keep doing you mate, for as long as you still get enjoyment from it, same way to approach all these pursuits! Cheers again 🍻
Don't think its possible yet, though it would be really interested if you could review the Brane X speaker that (people say) can go really, really low, has more bass and goes way louder than the JBL boombox 3 in a smaller package.
Hi Allen, I recently purchased a W-King d320 and was impressed with the sound quality. It's got app support as well. Any plans on reviewing this one? Cheers!
@@alanrossreviews I agree out of the box it's not great and lacking in depth. But with the equalizer in Rock it sounds good. I got the (upgraded) blue version btw which has got rgb lights on both ends. Don't know if the sound is any different.
I have the Earfun UBoom L. Not terribly happy with the sound, though I haven't changed the firmware to 0.45 or whatever it is. Tribit has the Stormbox 2 40% off now. Would anyone really recommend I snag it and use it instead of my Earfun?
@@alanrossreviews Thanks for your response. The Uboom is on the latest firmware. Don't know what number it is. I mostly listen indoors, but have also used it outdoors at the beach and park for very small gatherings or by myself.
@@alanrossreviews I thought these two speakers were in the same class. I basically want an all around good sounding speaker that is fairly loud and has good bass. I love music and listen to all kinds.
@@alanrossreviews Thanks. I have the Stormbox Blast and am happy with the sound, but the battery life is terrible, which is quite disappointing. So I kind of wanted to get another Tribit if I were to buy another speaker. The Soundcore motion boom seems like a good choice for a smaller sized speaker. (I have their budget earbuds and, for the price, am really happy with the sound.) Listening to your sound tests on this video and on the one where you compare the motion boom to the motion plus, I would say overall the Motion Boom sounds better than the Stormbox 2.
@@alanrossreviews I did some quick EQing that does work pretty okay on axis for me. But the peak 3 to 4khz cannot really be fixed from the EQ, I wish I had the soundcore parametric EQ with it, I could make it perfect for my tastes 😭
@alanrossreviews need a woofer in between em in my opinion alan and all facing one way not a fan of the gimicky 360 sound bologna till then I will just keep rockin my wking d320
I'm torn between the soundcore 3 and the stormbox 2, cuz same price. Can you suggest which one is better I'm still new to this speaker thing. PS: I like bass
not as such, its a crowded area with several good options. i would probably choose the 300 over the stormbox 2. but its not much more money for the motion boom.
I have the Bose Soundlink Max from the Amazon Vine program. It is on the level of a JBL xtreme 2 in terms of bass loudness. It goes a bit deeper in bass. It has a very strong stereo effect that for the most part sounds really good. Occasionally I hear a track that sounds WAY too diffuse. The major downside is that it is marketed as a party speaker when it doesn't stand a chance against a Stormbox Blast or a JBLPartybox 100. Under two steps above mid volume it sounds really really good. Above that the bass stops and it gets screechy. At max it sounds horrible. Also ther are certain bass notes that overdrive the woofer like G-Easy-Tumblr Girls opening bass kick. It's an overpriced mixed bag. It is best for more lower volume listening with the deeper bass and strong stereo effect than a party speaker. Sorry for long novel comment
Come on Alan, I'm getting just a little impatient with how you drag on these review videos. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the detail, because no one else is doing it. But for the sake of the sanity of all of us who tribally support you, find ways to condense it please. 43 minutes for this video is just way too long. It should really be half that. And you'd still be able to output the vast majority of your findings. Your viewership will increase and you'll turn on a lot more people to the fun of critical listening and analysis of small form factor portable speakers. If this criticism goes in one ear and out the other, so be it. I'll still watch you and skip ahead or play at 1.5x speed. And I'll feel guilty as I always do, like I'm cheating you.
i tell you what i will do for you and the reddit wankrs, i will stop and do something else. you guys dont deserve independent honest reviews who just want to enjoy what they do. i certainly don't need you cry babies in my life.

I have Charge 5 that I really like, but it’s very much mono sounding. I’d love to get a good stereo speaker for the size, but I see none that are truly interesting.
Oh well, I keep hope, Stormbox 2 won’t be the one though 🤷♂️
@@ThibautMahringer Nah, you probably didn't heared about Stockwell 2
I thought the new one had USB Type-C charging? The old one had micro USB. Correct?
i think there was two iterations of gen 1
Another interesting detailed review straight from Alan's kingdom😅
I didn't know Soundcore glow only had one driver, that's a mono speaker, i prefer how the Tribit xsound plus 2 sounds overall compared to others & the form factor too, I'm not a big fan of 360° speakers really
I wish Tribit will come out with speakers in form factor of mifa wildbox, jbl xtreme 3, motion boom, it'll be really nice plus party speakers too, it's all about company's budget anyways
More power to you Alan
Cheers!
no the stormbox has two drivers, one on each side
Hi Alan, I’m looking for a good speaker in this size range. I did watch your travel size video already but can’t figure out what speaker to choose. I mostly listen to hip hop, love bass, and will be listening at 70-90% volume most the time. From your videos I’ve narrowed it down to the soundcore glow, soundcore motion 300, xsound plus 2, and soundcore boost. Which would you choose?
Yeah its tough, something for everyone. Id go boost but the others go louder. Two boosts is a pocket size hifi 😁
Hi Al, been using this StormBox 2 for almost a week noe, and all the thung I can say is, it has a fairly good sound and actually is comparable to the flip 6 (of course flio 6 will have boomier bass and harsher treble) especially if EQued.
so not a bad buy then 👍
@@alanrossreviews Yes it is not a bad buy, I did came up with my EQ CLARITY and CLARITY (2). If you would want to try it, I will send the tunings
Please suggest, Xbass On or Off in Strombox 1?
on
Had to comment for your algorithm, the “crybaby” version had me laughing. The whole point of me seeking your content out is for the longer form, nuance and incidentals thown in with good usable information on which to make purchasing choices with. That’s it! You ask nothing for doing it and doubtless put your own funds into the pursuit to boot, so thank you Alan.
People think as a youtuber you make a ton of money even as a small channel. Reality for someone like me that refuses to do paid reviews my amazon and ad links are maybe 30% of my total outlay for the channel. And thats just what i spend on speakers. Then i have bigger outlays for equipment whether it be cameras, software or stuff for recording and measuring. So it is hard when people moan about what i do and reddit thinks monetising my work is ok.
As always it’s a perspective thing mate, folks on the outside always think you’re going to be bathed in freebies and lavished with sponsorships and the like. There’s the hobbiest youtube (which personally i think is the heart and soul) and then there is the business youtube and that’s where everything we hate about the outside world and it’s fakery - finds itself into our entertainment and hobbys. Keep doing you mate, for as long as you still get enjoyment from it, same way to approach all these pursuits!
Cheers again 🍻
Don't think its possible yet, though it would be really interested if you could review the Brane X speaker that (people say) can go really, really low, has more bass and goes way louder than the JBL boombox 3 in a smaller package.
Another for the list ✔️
@@alanrossreviews bahahaha here another one. Sony ult field 7 😂
What would you choose stormbox 2 or xsound plus 2?
I have to buy one please suggest
there is no easy answer. i suggest you watch the video to see the advantages and disadvantages of each
Hi Allen, I recently purchased a W-King d320 and was impressed with the sound quality. It's got app support as well. Any plans on reviewing this one? Cheers!
i wasnt that impressed, its one of many i have here that i simply havent had time to review. seems best for vocals?
@@alanrossreviews I agree out of the box it's not great and lacking in depth. But with the equalizer in Rock it sounds good. I got the (upgraded) blue version btw which has got rgb lights on both ends. Don't know if the sound is any different.
I have the Earfun UBoom L. Not terribly happy with the sound, though I haven't changed the firmware to 0.45 or whatever it is. Tribit has the Stormbox 2 40% off now. Would anyone really recommend I snag it and use it instead of my Earfun?
they are two very different speakers. quite different. depends what use you are going get from it. what firmware is your uboom running?
@@alanrossreviews Thanks for your response. The Uboom is on the latest firmware. Don't know what number it is. I mostly listen indoors, but have also used it outdoors at the beach and park for very small gatherings or by myself.
@@alanrossreviews I thought these two speakers were in the same class. I basically want an all around good sounding speaker that is fairly loud and has good bass. I love music and listen to all kinds.
maybe look at motion boom
@@alanrossreviews Thanks. I have the Stormbox Blast and am happy with the sound, but the battery life is terrible, which is quite disappointing. So I kind of wanted to get another Tribit if I were to buy another speaker. The Soundcore motion boom seems like a good choice for a smaller sized speaker. (I have their budget earbuds and, for the price, am really happy with the sound.) Listening to your sound tests on this video and on the one where you compare the motion boom to the motion plus, I would say overall the Motion Boom sounds better than the Stormbox 2.
👍👍👍
Interesting 🤔I sort of hoped for better than that...
well yeah, its a mixed picture. i bet they increase that bass in next firmware.
Do you have any hints for stormbox blast 2?
All i know is it's coming but literally nothing else. I dont think its out to beta testers yet.
Well I'm back, I got a Stormbox 2 for free so I'm watching this again 😂
what do you think of it?
@@alanrossreviewsI just got it, I don’t like it’s upper mids (listening on axis for stereo), everything else is decent.
Some EQ needs to be done 😊
@@ThibautMahringer i listen 45 degrees on, between front and side
@@alanrossreviews I did some quick EQing that does work pretty okay on axis for me. But the peak 3 to 4khz cannot really be fixed from the EQ, I wish I had the soundcore parametric EQ with it, I could make it perfect for my tastes 😭
@@ThibautMahringer if all else fails could always use third party app 🤷♀🤷♀
If only a speaker likr this could have tweeter on top and bottom and woofer in middle on 1 single side
the stormbox pro has tweeters
@alanrossreviews need a woofer in between em in my opinion alan and all facing one way not a fan of the gimicky 360 sound bologna till then I will just keep rockin my wking d320
Enjoyed the review - thank you.
Thanks for watching! 👍
I'm torn between the soundcore 3 and the stormbox 2, cuz same price. Can you suggest which one is better I'm still new to this speaker thing.
PS: I like bass
neither are great for bass, maybe step up to soundcore boost?
@@alanrossreviews thanks for the insights
tribit strombox 2 vs soundcore motion 300. which would you choose?
its a draw, you have to go with what works for your situation
@@alanrossreviewsAre there any better options in this budget?
not as such, its a crowded area with several good options. i would probably choose the 300 over the stormbox 2. but its not much more money for the motion boom.
@@alanrossreviews boom is very good but is too big to me
@@alanrossreviews in your opinion jbl flip 6 and sony Ult Field 1 is better options than m300, stormbox 2 and motion boom?
Whats your thoughts allan? Is stormbox box 2 more better ?
Different, for me better but less bass is not good.
Will you do a review on the new bose SoundFlex max?
well i am buying it but I badly need a break right now. but yeah i will be getting it for sure and its on order.
Thanks for the response, Alan. Take care of yourself, buddy.
I have the Bose Soundlink Max from the Amazon Vine program. It is on the level of a JBL xtreme 2 in terms of bass loudness. It goes a bit deeper in bass. It has a very strong stereo effect that for the most part sounds really good. Occasionally I hear a track that sounds WAY too diffuse. The major downside is that it is marketed as a party speaker when it doesn't stand a chance against a Stormbox Blast or a JBLPartybox 100. Under two steps above mid volume it sounds really really good. Above that the bass stops and it gets screechy. At max it sounds horrible. Also ther are certain bass notes that overdrive the woofer like G-Easy-Tumblr Girls opening bass kick. It's an overpriced mixed bag. It is best for more lower volume listening with the deeper bass and strong stereo effect than a party speaker. Sorry for long novel comment
@@spin7380 i was hoping for better
Snazzy shirt.
Oh its just some old thing i threw on 😂
@@alanrossreviews😅
Come on Alan, I'm getting just a little impatient with how you drag on these review videos. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the detail, because no one else is doing it. But for the sake of the sanity of all of us who tribally support you, find ways to condense it please. 43 minutes for this video is just way too long. It should really be half that. And you'd still be able to output the vast majority of your findings. Your viewership will increase and you'll turn on a lot more people to the fun of critical listening and analysis of small form factor portable speakers. If this criticism goes in one ear and out the other, so be it. I'll still watch you and skip ahead or play at 1.5x speed. And I'll feel guilty as I always do, like I'm cheating you.
Alan should still make his videos as long as they are now, but maybe cut most interesing moments and upload them as youtube shorts?
i tell you what i will do for you and the reddit wankrs, i will stop and do something else. you guys dont deserve independent honest reviews who just want to enjoy what they do. i certainly don't need you cry babies in my life.
i was taking aim that cry baby! youve been a big support.
lol that’s why they skip forward button exists.
What a bloody cheek! Go and watch someone else if you don't like it. Plenty of shills out there making short videos for people with low attention spans.
