Our Verdict
The Tribit StormBox Blast is very good for music. This speaker has a slightly V-shaped sound profile, meaning there's some extra warmth in the bass and brightness in the treble. It's ideal for listening to the highs and lows in rock and pop, though some extra bass carries into the lower mid-range and can make vocals and lead instruments sound a little muddy. You can customize the speaker using the graphic EQ and presets in the Tribit app if you want a different sound.

For example, if you want to stream videos on your phone while listening to the speaker, it can do the job. Dialogue is pretty clearly reproduced, and the speaker's loud enough to fill your living room with sound. It also has enough low-bass extension to give action scenes some thump and rumble.

Unlike many other speakers of its size, it comes with integrated RGB lights that you can customize in different colors and patterns. It's quite customizable, too, with a graphic EQ and presets available in the app. It performs well for its size, though it doesn't bring as much rumble in the bass as larger party speakers like the JBL PartyBox 310.

The Tribit StormBox Blast and the Anker Soundcore Motion Boom Plus are similar speakers, each with its own strengths. The Tribit is larger, and it comes with customizable RGB lights. It can reproduce a touch more low bass, too. However, only the Anker lets you use voice assistants through a paired smartphone. Its unique PartyCast mode is a cool touch if you already own Soundcore speakers, since it lets you pair them all together to amplify sound through the same room.
The Tribit StormBox Blast is better than the Anker Soundcore Motion Boom. The Tribit has better build quality, and its customizable RGB lighting is a nice touch. It gets louder, too. It offers a fuller sound out of the box, though both speakers have many customization tools to adjust their performance. That said, only the Anker supports voice assistant support via a paired smartphone.
The JBL PartyBox Encore Essential is better than the Tribit StormBox Blast. They're both portable Bluetooth speakers designed with parties in mind, as they have integrated RGB lights to set the mood. However, the JBL has even more party-centric features like mic and guitar inputs. Plus, it has a better low-frequency extension, so you enjoy more rumble in the low bass.
The Tribit StormBox Blast is a more premium alternative to the EarFun UBOOM L. The Tribit comes with a lot of extra features, such as RGB lights and a graphic EQ to customize its sound. It also gets louder than the EarFun, and its battery life is longer-lasting. That said, it doesn't support voice assistants like the EarFun.
