Tribit - StormBox Lava

Tribit stormbox lava is a 5lb speaker that can be found for under $100. JBL Boombox 3 is 15lbs and refurbs will usually cost over $200. Both are good speakers for the beach but really different from each other.

Hi dear person, I understand you,  but that's absolutely not the case for me. Why i don't know ;)  The app is not even useful with this beautiful beast. Because everything is perfectly balanced, and if you activate the bass up button on (you get even more wonderful sound). Sounds better, deeper, louder than most speakers I've had and tried (jbl xtrem 1 and 4, i sold the xtrem 4, bose, sony, etc.). I compared it with my friend's speakers (u boom x, Harman speakers, Eu Boom 3-4-5, Tribit lava, zealot 120 watts speaker, jbl boom 3 party speaker, bose, soundlink, beat, tronsmart bang, mini, etc.) The soundcore boom 2 cooks them all. For $90-120 on amazon. I got it for 60€ with my friend. And he regretted it deeply. He told me. In conclusion, I repeat: 70 truly watts speaker, 360° sound, Easy to carry, light weight, perfectly balanced sound midrange bass trebless high, no distortion even at full volume (be careful with your neighbors). That thing sounds like heaven!!! An engineer friend, that told me, that he has never listened to such 'medium' sized speaker that sounded that good . 

I prefer the soundcore boom 2 over any speakers that i've Tried and had: Tribit lava (distorsion sometimes), U Boom x (distorsion sometimes and a bit priced too), tronsmart bang (distorsion), zealot (same thing), bose (overpriced), Sony ult (was ok nothing more and priced),, Ue boom 3 (not m'y cup of tea), JBL Xtrem 1 and 4 (I sold the Xtrem 4 and still have the 1 which IS my favorite from JBL loud but still muffled, a bit heavy, and distorsion sometimes), JBL boom box 3 (distorsion sometimes, loud sounding, heavy, and not m'y thing).  Soundcore boom 2 cook them all. For $130 on usa amazon and 99€ on France amazon haha. I got it for 60€ with a Friend. Pretty sure he regret it now. 

For 150 your not going to find bass that you can really feel. I got the tribit stormbox lava for 90. And below 65 procent it has some serious bass. I am very impressed. I also have the tribit stormbox blast 2. That is a bass monster hahaha. Spend some more and get that speaker. Otherwis look at the zealot s95!! Very good price and awesome bass. Mine will arrive next week. I got it for 140. I Had a coupon on TEMU

UE boom 3... Sorry man but the soundcore boom 2 sounds way way better. UE boom 3 IS muffled. Soundcore boom 2 IS a beast. 

Small impression Update for version 1.5.5 1) I could verify that the sound seems quieter than before with a custom equalizer. In older firmwares it was louder until 1.5.4. then the sound only of the preset /standard (xbass, rock, Jazz, etc...)  equalizer settings changed to a quieter sounding by this frmware. Now the sound of the custom equalizer seems also be quieter, same level as the presets equalizer. 2) new preset equalizer : Tradition Conclusion , better than 1.5.4 because it's extremely annoying when you've chosen a preset EQ and when you switch to custom your ears fly off because the volume was much higher there.

Hi, the Uboom x IS great but distortion sometimes and I still prefer my soundcore boom 2. That beast sounds great. 360° sounding speaker, easy to carry, light weight, solid 70 watts speaker as the soundcore boom 2 IS not compatible with thé app anymore. But not a problem for me. As the bass UP button IS awesome.  I've tried the soundcore boom 2 in front of tribit lava (distortion sometimes), U boom x (distortion sometimes), JBL Big boom box 3 (distortion And muffled sometimes), JBL Xtrem from 1 to 4 ( I had the 4 and sold it, I still have the Xtrem 1), tronsmart bang, zealot, bose, Sony speakers and still prefer the soundcore boom 2. And now there IS the New Soundcore boom 2 pro. Wow. 

I’ve been using the Tribit StormBox Lava I would say insane sound quality and crazy battery life, easily rivals Bose or JBL for less

Totally agree, I prefer the soundcore boom 2 over any speakers that i've Tried and had: Tribit lava (distorsion sometimes), U Boom x (distorsion sometimes and a bit priced too), tronsmart bang (distorsion), zealot (same thing), bose (overpriced),  Sony ult (was ok nothing more and priced),, Ue boom 3 (not m'y cup of tea), JBL Xtrem 1 and 4 (I sold the Xtrem 4 and still have the 1 which IS my favorite from JBL loud but still muffled, a bit heavy, and distorsion sometimes), JBL boom box 3 (distorsion sometimes, loud sounding, heavy, and not m'y thing).  Soundcore boom 2 cook them all. For $130 on usa amazon and 99€ on France amazon haha. I got it for 60€ with a Friend. Pretty sure he regret it now. 

Micro(2), Blast(2) and Lava are great. XSound Plus (2) and Stormbox(2) alright, but there are better speakers in that size imo. Stormbox Mini(2) just blows.

I've been loving the new Tribit Stormbox Lava. Definitely sounds better than the Soundcore Boom 2 and has deeper bass.

Soundcore boom 2 all day! Middle IS great. I prefer the soundcore boom 2 over any tribit lava, zealot, tronsmart, bose, Sony, earfun U boom x,  Ue boom 3 and JBL and even an old good philipps speaker. Soundcore boom 2 in my opinion cook them all. 

I'd say if u like bass and need a speaker that can go loud, this is probably the speaker for you. But I feel the bass is abit overpowering especially indoors, but it all can be tuned in software

I have this one and my initial impression was awful, its not good. But after a firmware update. V1.5.5, it became great - this is my favorite speaker now, Do you have an update with you? thank you!

I think he don't have the soundcore boom 2 but the soundcore boom se. Which IS why It sucks. Haha 

I understand your perception and your thoughts. It was a time when there were not even apps for speakers. In the case of the soundcore boom 2. I understand the frustration of ingenious perfectionists not being able to manage EQ. I could not say why soundcore did that. I am not the author, nor an affiliate. In any case, I can tell you one thing with certainty: The sound does not even need adjustment, no need for adjustment. It sounds 2 times better than an xtrem 4 and a jbl boom 3 party jbl, as good as a bose model, better than harman speakers, x times better than the x king/tronsmart/zealot/tribit speakers. Which have a lot of distortion at high volume (even if the music is not made to be listened to at full volume.) In any case, I got it for 60€ and I am more than satisfied. In my garden or park evenings, my friends only say "woww". And I can understand, because this beast is brilliantly adjusted in terms of sound. Many have said they prefer the Soundcore Boom 2 to the U Boom x and others prefer the U Boom x. However, this one has a lot of distortion sometimes. Others have said, the Soundcore Boom 2 is superb for techno music but rubbish for the rest. Absolutely false!!! It is incredible for live performances, albums, jazz/rock/African music/Cuban/Celtic/metal/pop/country/acoustic instrumental/trap rnb etc etc etc. And even superb for watching a movie (I tried). I listen to dir en grey metal group on it sometimes, jazz, Christian music, rock, folk, rnb, techno, old music, classical music sometimes, Cuban, Brazilian (rosa passos guitarists and singer), and all types of unimaginable music. I'm a multi-instrumentalist musician. I like everything in music except vulgarity and propaganda. And I can say once again, that the Soundcore Boom 2 cooks all the speaker models I've heard (even those with modified EQ etc.). And that for $90-130 on Amazon. It's worse than a good deal, it's a robbery. This speaker doesn't need any EQ adjustment. It's great like that. Of course, we all have different tastes and preferences. It's normal ;) Ps: the ones that dislike the soundcore boom 2 are mostly people that are fan boy, trolls, and some honest people that had minor problems such shipping, that fell into a poor series of soundcore boom. Which is rare. Maybe the SE old version. The author of this, says he had buzz sounds... Definetely not a soundcore boom 2, probably a soundcore boom SE. The old one. Soundcore resolved the problem. And it is not buzzing. We are far from it. Or maybe he have a false one... Rare too. 

Hi, What ... No middle ? I respect your perception, but middle IS fantastic. It IS a great speaker, better than most that i've Tried and i've Tried a lot :  the Uboom x IS great but distortion sometimes and I still prefer my soundcore boom 2. I've tried the soundcore boom 2 in front of tribit lava (distortion sometimes), U boom x (distortion sometimes), JBL Big boom box 3 (distortion And muffled sometimes), JBL Xtrem from 1 to 4 ( I had the 4 and sold it, I still have the Xtrem 1), tronsmart bang, zealot, bose, Sony speakers and still prefer the soundcore boom 2.  Great speaker, great midrange trebble bass ect, 360° sound, easy to carry, light weight, 70 watts speaker. And now there IS the New Soundcore boom 2 pro. Wow. 

I prefer the soundcore boom 2 over any speakers that i've Tried and had: Tribit lava (distorsion sometimes), U Boom x (distorsion sometimes and a bit priced too), tronsmart bang (distorsion), zealot (same thing), bose (overpriced), Sony ult (was ok nothing more and priced),, Ue boom 3 (not m'y cup of tea), JBL Xtrem 1 and 4 (I sold the Xtrem 4 and still have the 1 which IS my favorite from JBL loud but still muffled, a bit heavy, and distorsion sometimes), JBL boom box 3 (distorsion sometimes, loud sounding, heavy, and not m'y thing).  Soundcore boom 2 cook them all.

None of those are considered "high value" speakers. Soundcore, Tribit and Earfun have better sounding products for the $. You can get a pair of Soundcore Motion Boom 2 Plus for the $ of the big name brands. Check out the many speaker shootouts on YouTube between any JBL/Sony/UE/Bose product and the Soundcore Motion Booms or Earfun speakers. If you are looking for a solid fabric covered/football sized speaker Tribit stormbox lava > JBL! https://youtu.be/ZP0U4jtGNp4?si=TY4Mp05KggH-m_s1

Tribit Lava is turning out to be a winner.

Are you sure, you have the soundcore boom 2 ? Or do you have the soundcore boom SE ? I think you have the SE. 

I'm pretty sure he doesn't have the soundcore boom 2 but the old soundcore boom SE.... 

So few days ago i finally got my hands on the new tribit stormbox lava. Ordered it from aliexpress using the earlybird code, making it a 120 dollar purchase. I had second thoughts about getting it after ordering it, but after a few days with it, i definitely think it was worth it. This speaker has it's upsides and downsides like every other speaker, some of it still can be fixed with softwate update if tribit are willing to do that. In terms of sound out of the box, it sounded very boosted, warm and kinda muddy. But that's where the eq comes to rescue. I'm still trying to figure out my own eq for it, but so far the best eq i found is from a guy named "dominik reviews" on youtube, where he left a link for 2 eq's on his comparison videos between the lava and other speakers. In terms of the speaker itself, i think that i can sound pretty nice using the correct eq's like the ones from dominik. The passive radiators are tuned very low, so they are not very sensitive to midbass, and they offer some deep 40 - 50 hz notes. Sometimes it can be pretty overpowering So i usually reduce the 80 hz band at low to medium levels. And yes, like most speakers it reduces bass pretty rapidly at high volumes, but we are already fimiliar with it after hearing the jbl xtreme 4. Other few downsides which are not as critic, the strap that comes with the speaker which feels a bit cheap and wobbly, and the welcome tones that sound kinda bad, which you can turn off through the app. My conclusion is mostly positive, this speakers earned it's place next to the boom 2, xtreme 4 and bose soundlink max, having advantages and disadvantages over them.
