Small speaker, big sound
0:02
Let's check it out. Dave Taylor here, and I'm checking out this
0:12
This is the TriBit Stormbox Flow Bluetooth speaker, and it's a decent size for a portable speaker
0:20
but it puts out a lot of music. It has 30 hours of playtime on its battery
0:25
It's IP 67 waterproof, which is great, because that means it's good for port
0:29
side. It's great for the beach. If someone spills a beverage on it, you don't have to panic
0:36
Bluetooth 5.3, which is the latest version of Bluetooth, and it is custom EQ settings built in
0:42
and there's an app. But let's start by just playing some music. And as you can hear
0:48
it's a big, lush sound. And if I push the EQ button on the top
0:55
there's actually three different EQ settings. Let's start with this. So this, I'm going to point
0:59
it towards me. This is what they call their normal setting and then you can put turn on x bass
1:08
Do you hear how that gave a little fuller sound? It gives you a little bit more richness to the sound
1:14
And then they have a third mode, which actually is for audiobooks. So it gives you a little more treble boost
1:21
It all very nice It sounds really good And along the top you have controls for power Bluetooth pairing volume down a multi pause play button volume up the EQ with the three different settings and they have something that they call TWS which is a
1:40
stereo pairing. If you have two of these devices, you can pair them, give them one signal
1:46
it'll separate it out, and you'll get an even bigger room-filling sound. Really cool
1:52
Now, dimensions-wise, it's 8.7 inches by 4.4.4.5. 5 inches by 2.3 inches thick and it's 23 ounces. There are batteries to get speakers
2:03
to work and that gives weight to it. But I wanted to show you the app that's included too
2:09
So let me just get my phone recording. Let's see a screen record. That sounds right
2:15
And then we'll go to the tri-bit app. And as you can see, the app has already identified
2:26
the speaker so I can just go in there and it shows me the battery level. It gives me some controls, but it's much more interesting to go look at the equalizer. And so you can do a custom EQ if you want to do your own, or you can use one of their presets, which is X base on and off
2:45
audiobook, classical, classical, rock, jazz. And then on settings, this is probably the most important thing is you can check for firmware updates, which is that upgrade firmware button
2:56
on the bottom and if we go back to the top you can change your device name and you can also turn on or off auto hibernate and auto shutdown now i would recommend that you turn on auto shutdown and by default 15 minutes of no
3:11
music it'll power down that's just a good strategy to save your battery but you can decide to turn that
3:17
off if you want and then that EQ button you can see you can actually specify some of the behavior
3:25
of that button. Now, to be honest, I don't really do that very much. I like to keep things in their
3:30
default setting, but you can see the app is pretty helpful. So let me stop that recording
3:38
Maybe, there we go. And I will just say it's a really cherry of a speaker. It's really nice. It's
3:46
small. It's waterproof, which is great. And it has big sound, if you're looking for a big sound
3:52
with easy to manage controls on the top. On the side, there's USBC for charging
3:59
Comes with a USBC to USB charging cable. It takes about four hours to charge if it's completely down to zero
4:06
And then you get, like I said, up to 30 hours. Also has a nice built-in strap
4:12
So you can, I guess, tie this to your bicycle handlebars or just carry it around
4:18
And really not much else to talk about. this sound is really nice This is a really nice sounding little portable speaker And as you could hear it gives you a big rich sound If you in an auditorium at night might not be filling it up with music but any rational room like an office or a bedroom or a dorm room this is going to be more than enough to fill it up and give you a really
4:42
great experience. So it's everything I wanted to say about this. This one is definitely on my
4:48
short list of favorite Bluetooth speakers. So it's definitely one to check out. Now, let's talk about
4:54
the price. So as I said, this is the tri-bit stormbox flow Bluetooth speakers
5:00
speaker. It is 7999 minus currently minus 20% on Amazon dropping it down to 6399 at amazon.com
5:12
For a speaker with this much sound and this much flexibility and that long a battery life
5:18
this is definitely one to check out. Now before I let you go, I'm going to invite you to subscribe to my channel
