In owners' own words

Tengo 2 tribits y emparejados suenan muy bien, sin embargo se dañan rápido, uno se chingó y me lo tuvieron que cambiar con la garantía y al tiempo se volvió a joder otro

En un año adquirí 2 tribit por qué el primero me duro 6 meses y el segundo 5 meses la verdad suena muy bien pero no es duradero

Soundcore has a much brighter sound stage and is cracking value for money in comparison to the Tribit and I have two Tibit micro 2's

There is something wrong with Tribit. It sounds like the well.

there's a rip developing around my Micro 2's Button because the material there is so thin and I use it so often. I've now covered it up with some duct tape to block the growing rip.

I bought the Tribit StormBox Micro 2 hoping it would be better than the JBL Clip 4, but unfortunately this is not the case. Firstly, it is quieter. Secondly, it has much worse bass.

I really wanted to buy the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 but I found it has horrible latency of 265ms, so it's truly awful for watching movies, youtube or gaming on it. The only thing you can use it for is music.

But I find that the EQ on the Tribit gen 2 really doesn't improve the treble. I really dislike the lack of high end sparkle on the Tribit.

I had the stormbox micro and have the stormbox micro 2. Even with a custom eq, I don't like the sound of the micro 2 as much.

Does it still cap max volume once it reaches ~40-60% battery? My biggest gripe with the 2 by a longshot

Look for another brand, Tribit will not work after 4 years. They make sure of it.

Setup quirks & things to watch for

Not complaints — practical notes from owners that didn't affect the score.

Also some older Micro 2 don't seem to want to update to the same latest firmware, have to install the app and see.

IMO the SBM2 is clearly tuned for outdoor personal use, which is how I use mine the vast majority of times.
