Tribit MaxSound Plus 24W Bluetooth Wireless Speakers,Powerful Louder Sound&Exceptional XBass(Independent XBass Button),Built in Mic,IPX7 Waterproof,20H Playtime,100ft BT Range for Party/Travel,Black

I came across this speaker while searching on Amazon India & the US websites.Tribit speakers had very positive ratings on the Amazon USA website.A German Sound Engineer with the name Oluv had highly recommended it on his youtube channel (Oluvs Gadgets)Please do check his channel and the speaker comparison database as he has the best possible collection of speakers and testing tools which will definitely help you. (Highly Recommend)I've been using this speaker for about 4-5 days now. (Being one of the first ones to order)You can consider this as an initial review rather than a final review as its only been a few days.These are my findings based on initial usage:-PACKAGING & CONTENTSThe box contains Speaker, Micro USB Cable, AUX Cable & the setup manual.Pretty decent packaging.DESIGN & BUILTThe design is pretty basic like the Sony or Anker products.It has a rubberised plastic build & a metal grill up front.Behind is a cover to access the USB & Aux ports.Above are the Power,Bluetooth, +, -, Play & the X-Bass buttons.Two small LEDs for the Power/Bluetooth & X-Bass indications.The weight of this speaker according to me is bit on the heavier side.BATTERY & CHARGINGAs per my testing, the battery takes about 3 Hours & 45 Minutes to charge completely from 0 on a 5V 2Amp charger.I used this charger as Tribit does not recommend using fast chargers as it may cause internal damage over time.The battery life is great as per my initial testing. Though I feel that the 20 Hours playback time is somewhat exaggerated.You may achieve the 20 hours playback time on a moderate volume & X-Bass off settings.As of now I'm getting around 11.5 hours as per my usage which is generally 75% volume & X-Bass ON.There is a battery saving feature on this speaker which makes it turn off after 30 minutes of no audio playback.AUDIO QUALITYThis is the area where this speaker becomes unbeatable for this price range.The audio output is pretty loud for a small speaker.The Highs, Mids & Lows are produced excellently. There is such a good depth & clarity to the audio which is very difficult to find in this price range. (Also even till Rs.10000/- segment)The audio signature is clean with good amount of bass unlike some other brands like JBL, Sony etc. which focus solely on the bass & totally neglect the mids & treble.It would be very difficult to find such an audio signature in the budget range.Tribit engineers have really hit the sweet spot here. A massive thumbs up to them!Do note that the X-Bass effect diminishes with higher volumes & the music sounds flat.The bass is good enough to enjoy any sort of genre be it Rock, Pop, EDMs etc.The two 12W drivers & the two Bass radiators make up for a richer fuller sound that you'll surely enjoy.PAIRING WITH AMAZON ECHO DEVICESThe main reason behind me getting a portable bluetooth speaker was to amplify the audio of my Amazon Echo Dot 3rd Gen.I connect the two devices using AUX cable rather than bluetooth.Initially the speaker would turn off after 30 minutes of idle time but later I found out that upon pressing the bluetooth button, the auto-off feature turned off and the speaker doesn't turn off after 30 minutesI was so happy with this tweak as I want my speaker to stay connected to echo dot all day long.COMPARISON WITH X-Sound Go & MAXboom 360X-Sound Go is the mini version of MAXsound Plus. The audio signature is similar with a lesser amount of Bass due to it having only a single bass radiator.MAXboom 360 has the drivers on the opposite sides thereby giving a wider soundstage and a boomy sound. It will be suitable more for outdoor use or if kept in the center of a room.MAXsound Plus is a multi-directional speaker and suitable for small to medium rooms with it being placed on the either end.The audio dispersion will increase if you place it with tilting the speaker to the back.To get the best comparison, please check Oluv's Gadgets on youtube and his speaker comparison database.CONCLUSIONI highly recommend this speaker to everyone who want the perfect audio signature in this price range.It comes with 1 year warranty.The customer support is excellent & they reply to your mails on timely basis.Give it a try & you wont be disappointed.

Bought this a few years back, when my previous Bluetooth speaker stopped working.I read the reviews and did a bit of research on the company and I have to say the battery life is not a joke. It really does last a long time, I use it in the shower most days andwhen I bought it I had to charge it only once a month.And now that has come down to once a week.The waterproofing is excellent the charging port and aux ports are properly protected and even if you accidently forget to put the cover on the charging point water won't get into it, although I wouldnt recommend it.The sound quality is very good and the speaker can get considerably loud without using up too much battery.The only issues I can see are the buttons are black on black so it can be difficult to figure out which button to push in low-light conditions making it a bit cumbersome. There is also no song skip feature on the speaker so you will just have to do that on the phone or computer.Conclusion: it's a long lasting speaker that will work for a few years without giving you any trouble.

I saw a lot of reviews before buying this product and particularly stumbled upon a detailed review by an audio engineer named Oluv, who said it may be the best in its price segment. His words were true, I am extremely pleased with the sound quality. I have heard a few more pricier options in person, including JBL Flip 4 and Sony XB32 and I can vouch for the fact that this speaker is on par with the two, if not better. The Sony has more bass and if that's important to you then you should consider it. The JBL is virtually hard to tell apart from the Tribit.I'm more of a jazz and classical listener and I felt that it reproduces tones accurately as far as my ear can tell. One more benefit with this is that it has a relatively flat frequency response which is found in bigger stereo bookshelf speakers that are a lot more pricier. This means that the sound is pleasant and easy on the ears, making it possible to listen to music for long durations of time.Talking about the bass, it's punchy for most pop, jazz and classical tracks but don't expect to get very deep bass when listening to EDM, trance etc. That being said, it's adequate for most music and you won't be disappointed. Especially with the availability of the bass boost button, the low end will be pleasing to the ears while not sacrificing mids and highs. I prefer leaving it on at all times as the speaker is best enjoyed this way.Speaking about battery, I have consistently gotten 10 hours of playback which means I can go 5 days on a single charge. I think disabling the bass boost increases battery life but I haven't tried that. It takes 4 hours to charge but I don't really care about that.There seems to be no cons to this but if I'm nitpicking, I have heard the bass rattle in one or two tracks but that may be because of the tracks and not the speakers. Either way, this is something you will experience with all portable speakers. I've heard it on the JBL and Sony too.Overall, a great value for money.PS- I usually stream on very high on Spotify and lossless on Idagio. Poweramp is my offline player which is better than all stock music players, and I listen to FLACs offline. If you listen to lower bitrate music (even 320 kbps Mp3s) your experience may vary.
