Tribit StormBox Blast speaker: With the holidays coming up I will be highlighting gift ideas over the next few weeks, starting with this very fine portable speaker from Tribit.
Though Tribit markets the StormBox Blast as a “party speaker” with a colorful light show and powerful bass, I found it to be an exceptionally good high-fidelity speaker. I had positive expectations given that Tribit is a company that tends to get it right when it comes to presenting accurate, high-quality sound, but these expectations were dramatically exceeded.
When I first heard the StormBox Blast my reaction was “wow.” It just plain sounds good in the way of some of my most popular audio recommendations, playing in the same sonic league as much more expensive high-end offerings while being portable and battery-powered. The sound is crisp, clear and has just the right amount of warmth, with excellent separation of all of the instruments and vocalists. The StormBox Blast also sounds great with all kinds of music, the hallmark of the very best speakers. I listened with everything from Broadway soundtracks to hard rock to country to talk radio and it sounded absolutely fantastic across the board, effortlessly filling the room with beautiful music.
