All my family members want to steal this tiny Bluetooth speaker with huge sound from me, and it's only $47 for Prime Day
I recently got my hands on the Tribit Stormbox Micro 3. I popped it out of the box, charged it up and switched my music on. Not only did it sound amazing, I’ve been using it for weeks since and still haven’t had to recharge.
I shouldn’t have been surprised, because Tribit consistently makes some of the best Bluetooth speakers. And since it’s Prime Day right now, you can score a saving on it that makes it an even better value.
I know Bluetooth speakers aren’t a new concept, but I’m the kind of person who always uses my phone’s speaker for music. I wasn’t expecting to feel such a real difference from a device that’s not much larger than my phone and costs about twenty times less money.
When I was testing it out, I was blasting tunes so loud that they could be heard all through my house. And probably down the street, too. It brought a new dimension to the tracks I was listening to and a truly 3D-feeling soundscape. My soundtrack of choice the first time I used it was from Pikmin via the Nintendo Music app, and the naturalistic environmental sounds surrounding my ears from every direction made me feel like I was out experiencing the world right alongside the bite-sized creatures from the video game.
It’s rated for 24 hours of battery life. I’ve been using it for an hour or so a day for weeks since I got it, and the battery still hasn’t died on me. And reminder — this tiny speaker measures just about the same size as the palm of my hand.
A magnetic design (literally)
One of my favorite features about the Tribit Stormbox Micro 3 is that it’s magnetic. I’m always short on desk space, so I struggle to fit even this tiny speaker amongst my other stuff. But thanks to this speaker, I discovered that my desk has magnetic metal legs. Boom, better music and less clutter on my desktop all in one. It’s also great that I can stick it on my fridge door while I’m cooking in the kitchen. And if you’re outdoorsy, you could also mount it on your bike’s handlebars, or attach it to your backpack using the rubber strap.
I’m not the only person at Tom’s Guide who loves this speaker. My colleague Ashley Thieme wrote about it in her Tribit Stormbox Micro 3 review and had a ton of praise for its strong, bassy sound. I’m not too bothered about tweaking EQ for my music (sorry, audiophiles,) but take note that it is possible with this speaker. Use the Tribit app and you can tweak the sound exactly to your preferences.
The Tribit Stormbox Micro 3 has impressed me so much that I’d recommend it to just about anyone. In fact, multiple members of my family have already said they’re going to steal it off of me. So I guess I’ll either have to keep my speaker under lock and key or pick up a few more of them to hand out in the coming weeks.
