I tested the TRIBIT StormBox Mini+ for a couple weeks, and for $39.99 it’s a really strong value if you want a compact speaker you can just toss in a bag. The sound gets noticeably better when you spend a couple minutes dialing in the 9-band custom EQ, and the 360° output stays consistent no matter how you place it.
Pros
+Great value at $39.99 for the feature set
+IPX7 water resistance for pool/beach use
+TRIBIT app support with a genuinely useful 9-band custom EQ
+360° sound stays consistent from different angles
+Clicky front buttons with good tactile feedback
Cons
-Front buttons do not illuminate (harder to use in the dark)
-Real-world battery drops to around 5–6 hours with lights on and volume up
-Don’t expect deep, thumpy bass or huge output from 12 watts
