As we start spending more time socialising, bringing a Bluetooth speaker along to gatherings is once again best practice. Big names such as Ultimate Ears and JBL dominate, but this doesn’t mean the What Hi-Fi? team considers that particular box checked. What if a small, little-known brand could step in, trounce the competition and wow us – all for a fantastically low price?
Enter Tribit Audio, a Chinese company whose current product range comprises four diminutive portable speakers and six sets of wireless headphones.
The Stormbox Micro is the secondleast-expensive speaker in a line-up that’s very affordable all round. Is it the speaker we’ve been dreaming of – the undiscovered belter set to steal the budget crown?
