Our Verdict

Tribit StormBox Blast

EarFun UBOOM X

The EarFun UBOOM X is a slightly better Bluetooth speaker than the Tribit StormBox Blast, with a couple of caveats. They're similarly sized boombox-style portable Bluetooth speakers, but the EarFun is a bit lighter, making it easier to carry, and also has a sturdier, dust-proof build quality. You can also use your phone's voice assistant with the EarFun, and it has a slightly longer battery life. On the other hand, the Tribit supports Bluetooth multipoint with up to two devices, and its soundstage feels a bit more immersive.
