Soundcore Boom 2 Black
Score: 80/100
Tribit StormBox 2
Score: 81/100Rankings
The Tribit StormBox 2 is a cylindrical portable speaker delivering 40 W of 360° sound with IP67 durability and a built-in power-bank, offering up to 24 hours of playback. Its older Bluetooth version, heavyweight design, and absence of an aux input temper its appeal for users seeking the latest connectivity and ultra-light portability. Best suited for outdoor parties and users who need long battery life and ruggedness.
The Soundcore Boom 2 provides up to 80 W of bass-heavy audio, IPX7 floatable durability, and PartyCast 2.0 syncing for large outdoor events, all powered by a 24-hour battery. Its bulkier weight and bass-dominant tuning can be a trade-off for portability. Perfect for beach parties and camping where powerful sound is priority.

Professional reviewers and editors consistently praise the Boom 2 for its massive 80W output, deep BassUp-enhanced bass, long 24-hour battery life, and rugged IPX7 floatable construction, while also highlighting the PartyCast 2.0 multi-speaker sync and customizable app features. The main criticisms focus on its relatively heavy 3.66 lb chassis and the tendency for bass to dominate the mids at full volume.
Everyday users echo the professional praise, emphasizing the speaker's portability, strong bass, long playtime, and useful power-bank function for outdoor activities. Common positive remarks center on the easy carry strap, intuitive controls, and suitability for beach or camping parties, while the few negative comments mention the weight and occasional bass-overpowering effect.
