Is the Tribit StormBox 2 worth it?

It is a reasonable pick if you want a loud, waterproof speaker for under a few hundred dollars. If you care about bass depth or detail, spend more on a larger model.

Can it survive being dropped in water?

Yes. It carries an IPX7 rating, which means it can be submerged in about a meter of water for up to 30 minutes. Keep the port cover sealed.

Does it have an AUX input?

Yes. It has a 3.5 mm AUX input alongside Bluetooth, so you can plug in a laptop, TV or older phone.

How loud is 34 watts?

It fills a patio or small room easily. At maximum volume the sound stays clean but bass drops off.

What comes in the box?

The speaker, a USB charging cable, a carry strap and a quick-start guide. A wall adapter is usually not included.

Our take on the Tribit StormBox 2

The Tribit StormBox 2 is a portable Bluetooth speaker with 34 watts of output, a two-channel setup and a surround-sound mode. It has an IPX7 waterproof rating and a strap, so it suits outdoor use, and it also takes a wired AUX source. It sits in the budget tier of rugged portable speakers, where it competes on loudness and battery life rather than refinement.
