The StormBox Micro 3 is the cheapest speaker on this list and the most specialized. Tribit built it for bikes and backpacks: a silicone strap locks onto handlebars and a magnetic mount snaps onto metal surfaces. It carries an SGS-certified IP68 rating and has been drop tested from 1.22 m. Tribit rates the 4800 mAh battery for 24 hours at 50% volume with default EQ, and says 15 minutes of charging gives about 3 hours of music. Output is 13 W from a 48 mm driver, with an XBass button for more bass. Bluetooth 6.0 is rated for up to 45 m, codecs are AAC and SBC, and two Micro 3s can pair for stereo. The Tribit app adds 6 presets, a 9-band EQ and a sleep timer, and reverse charging can top up a phone. It will not fill a big backyard, and it does not group with other Tribit models, but at $64.99 nothing here costs less.
Who it is for
Cyclists and budget buyers who want a tiny, tough speaker for under $70.
