![]() Dirt and sand won’t find their way inside. For starters, it has a water-resistant rating of IP67 the OontZ Angle 3 Bluetooth Speaker is rated lower at IPX5 This makes it not just waterproof in depths of 1 meter, but also dustproof. More importantly, the Tribit StormBox Micro is built for activity. But if you want a speaker without an in-built mic, check out the Tego Audio CERA wireless portable speaker review. And with Bluetooth 5.0, it can stay connected to devices from 100 feet away. There’s a built-in mic near the power button, opening up the option to answer phone calls. Through USB C charging, charge time took about 3.5 hours to charge. Its lithium-ion batteries give it an 8-hour battery life, two more than the Bose SoundLink Color II Bluetooth Speaker. The performance behind the Tribit StormBox fits inside a 3.93 x 3.77 x 1.55-inch box, weighing 9 ounces. It just goes to show the Tribit StormBox prefers higher quality audio. The hissing is worse when listening to low-quality audio, but even then you’d have to be listening for it to notice. That’s “thermal noise” being produced by the resistors inside, and every speaker has it. There was some ever so slight hissing at higher volumes. Even better, the 360-degree sound is a much-needed bass boost, like an Ultimate Ears speaker. The Tribit StormBox did an excellent job of finding that mid-range balance. It isn’t enough to add bass and call it a day preventing it from drowning the rest of the music is key. I used music where the bass is real punchy-Pantera, Megadeth, Black Sabbath, and some classical music-and not once did the bass overpower but rather enhanced the music, like other similarly sized speakers. Think of it as old-school, over-sized chest-bling with an audio bent, said bent being to impart low-end vibrations through your ribs.For such a speaker that fits in the palm of my hand, I was very surprised by the sound quality-especially the bass. Lay that bass port against your chest and feel the beat. The thing with micro Bluetooth speakers is that they’re largely intended to reside on or near your person as you gad about, and where they’re placed has a lot to do with how they’ll sound-and feel. The Tribit StormBox Micro is small enough to be strapped to a bicycle’s handlebar, and its IP67 rating means it can withstand the elements. There’s actually enough of it which was a surprise. No speaker this small is going to be superior in the grand scheme of things, but given the amount of air in use-the sound is quite remarkable. I’d say it sounds largely the same with perhaps a just a bit muddier mid-range, though the differences between all three are subtle. If you’ve shopped micro Bluetooth speakers, your first question is likely to be how the StormBox Micro BTS10 stacks up sonically compared to the Bose SoundLink Micro and JBL Clip. You can read more about IP codes in this explainer. Not a lot of vendors go to the expense of particulate testing. That’s about as good as it gets in portable speakers. The unit is tested for both particulate and liquid intrusion to the tune of an IP67 rating. Tribit hasn’t missed a trick in the design, and the USB-C port is a nice perk. Battery life from the 2600mAh battery is said to be approximately eight hours, and charge time is about half that. That tightly bound band you see allows you to lash the BTS10 to a backpack strap, bicycle handle bar or whatever you have handy as a mount point. ![]() The docs are exceptionally well done, meaning you’ll have no trouble understanding it. I’d go on if Tribit hadn’t actually included a decent manual with the product. The multi-function button, depending on how many times and how long you press it, will move to the next or previous track, stop, activate Siri, reject or switch calls, and so on.
