有时,便携式蓝牙(Bluetooth)扬声器看起来像是一角钱,这使得很难确定哪些是值得投资的。Tribit 最近发布了StormBox Micro,这是一款小巧的便携式蓝牙(Bluetooth)扬声器,不仅能发出令人印象深刻的声音(impressive sound),而且还具有耐候性。
Tribit将StormBox Micro发送给我们进行便携式蓝牙扬声器评测,因此我们对其进行了测试,以了解它在各种实际应用中的表现如何。
外观:小巧方便
扬声器名副其实。扬声器宽 3.9 英寸,高 3.9 英寸,厚不到 1.4 英寸,不会占用太多空间,重量也不会妨碍运输。黑色的外观是不起眼的,尽管它确实让人很难一眼就认出顶部的按钮。
Tribit StormBox Micro(Tribit StormBox Micro)顶部有三个按钮:音量减小和音量增大按钮,以及多功能按钮(MultiFunctional Button)。便携式蓝牙音箱的正面是电源开关按钮、蓝牙(Bluetooth)按钮和一系列指示音量和连接 性的LED指示灯。(LED)
StormBox Micro的外观值得一提的是一体式表带。它在扬声器底部卡入到位,但具有牢固的固定力,非常适合在您移动时环绕在您的腰带上。
如果您正在寻找与您的音乐同步跳舞的闪烁、脉动的LED(LEDs),那么您就不走运了。StormBox Micro 摒弃(StormBox Micro)了花里胡哨的外观,外观简洁明了,但它在性能上弥补了风格上的不足。
音质
关于StormBox Micro ,您首先注意到的是音质。尽管尺寸很小,但这款小扬声器却能提高音量。即使在较低的音量下,它也相当响亮,并且在达到最大音量时可以填满一个房间。
除了音量之外,StormBox Micro 还能(StormBox Micro)产生惊人的低音。这种尺寸的扬声器通常由于低音炮空间不足而不足,但StormBox Micro即使在重低音电子音乐中也表现出色。当然,它无法与具有更大低音扬声器的专用扬声器相比,但在这种尺寸下,StormBox Micro很难被击败。
即使像 Bob Marley 的“Turn Your Lights Down Low”这样要求苛刻的歌曲在扬声器上听起来也很棒。在播放中很容易检测乐器的位置,StormBox Micro保持良好的声音平衡,失真最小。
播放过程中出现的主要问题是,当歌曲中较高的声音占主导地位时,低音重的时刻听起来有点褪色。当然,在处理紧凑型扬声器时会出现这样的问题。
特性和功能
StormBox Micro(StormBox Micro)有几个显着的特点。它旨在与电话一起使用,因为多功能按钮(Multifunctional Button)或MFB具有适合电话的功能。StormBox Micro(StormBox Micro)有两种主要的播放模式:音乐模式(Music Mode)和对话模式(Conversation Mode)。
在音乐模式下(Music Mode),短按MFB可用作播放和暂停按钮。双击跳到下一首曲目,而连续按三下则返回一首曲目。如果您按住一秒钟,MFB将激活(activate Siri)您手机上的 Siri。
对话模式(Mode)有点不同。短按MFB将接听或挂断电话,按住一秒钟将拒绝来电。在通话过程中短按将保持通话以接听来电,而随后的按下将允许您同时在两个通话之间切换。
将一个(Pair one) StormBox Micro与另一个配对,您就可以使用更多功能,包括派对模式(Party Mode)和立体声模式(Stereo Mode)。当您将两个扬声器置于派对模式(Party Mode)时,您可以从两个扬声器同步播放同一首歌曲,将声音传播到更广阔的区域。
然而,立体声模式(Stereo Mode)是扬声器真正发挥作用的地方。对于这种尺寸的设备,音频质量已经令人印象深刻,并且它本身具有良好的空间表现。但是,当进入立体声模式(Stereo Mode)时,扬声器会告诉您哪个是左哪个是右。
立体声模式(Stereo Mode)提供了与高价扬声器相媲美的音频体验。对于这么小的设备来说,这令人印象深刻,尽管如果您可以使用一套高端耳机,它们的性能可能会超过StormBox Micro。
另一方面,如果您正在寻找一种即使在淋浴时也能获得令人印象深刻的音频质量的方法,StormBox Micro可能是您的最佳选择。凭借IP67的耐候等级,StormBox Micro可以应对大量的滥用 - 它的防水深度可达一米半小时。
蓝牙和电池寿命
StormBox Micro的蓝牙(Bluetooth)功能值得一提。它总共可以与多达八个不同的设备配对(pair with up to eight different devices),并且最多可以同时与两个设备配对。这意味着没有必要通过辅助线,可以这么说。如果您和朋友正在共享音乐,您只需暂停播放,您的朋友就可以开始播放他们的音乐了。
充满电后,StormBox Micro便携式蓝牙扬声器声称电池续航时间长达 8 小时。虽然测试没有显示确切的数量,但扬声器连续播放了数小时的音乐,并且仍有大量剩余电量。为扬声器充电也很容易,随附的 USB-C(USB-C)电缆和 5V 插头就是您所需要的。
StormBox Micro:值得付出代价吗?
Tribit StormBox Micro(Tribit StormBox Micro)将许多功能打包成一个小包装,但它的价格也同样低廉。只需 50 美元,真的很难想象在这个价格范围内有更好的蓝牙(Bluetooth)扬声器。有一些选项可能更响亮并且功能更多,但它们也更昂贵。
StormBox Micro(StormBox Micro)声音响亮,在低音方面出奇地有效,并且具有足够的功能使其成为与大品牌的竞争对手。如果您正在寻找一种在淋浴时即兴演奏的方法,这是您最好的选择。
Tribit Stormbox Micro Portable Speaker Review
It can somеtimes seem like portable Bluetooth speakers are a dime а dozen, which makes it difficult to figure out whiсh ones are worth your investment or not. Τribit recently released the StormBox Micro, a small, portable Bluetooth speaker that not only pumps out impressive sound but boasts weather resistance too.
Tribit sent the StormBox Micro to us to do a portable bluetooth speaker review, so we put it through the paces to find out how well it performs in a variety of real-world applications.
Appearance: Compact but Convenient
The speaker lives up to its name. At 3.9 inches wide, 3.9 inches tall, and just under 1.4 inches thick, the speaker does not take up much space, nor does its weight get in the way of transporting it. The black exterior is nondescript, although it did make it difficult to pick out the top buttons at a glance.
The Tribit StormBox Micro has three buttons on top: a volume down and a volume up button, as well as the MultiFunctional Button. On the front of the portable bluetooth speaker is the power on and off button, the Bluetooth button, and a series of LED indicator lights that denote volume level and connectivity.
One feature that is worth noting about the exterior of the StormBox Micro is the integrated strap. It snaps into place on the bottom of the speaker but has a secure hold, making it perfect for looping around your belt while you’re mobile.
If you’re looking for flashing, pulsating LEDs that dance in time with your music, you’re out of luck. The StormBox Micro forgoes the bells and whistles for a plain, straightforward look, but what it lacks in style it makes up for in performance.
Sound Quality
The first thing you notice about the StormBox Micro is the sound quality. Despite its small size, this little speaker pumps up the volume. It is appreciably loud even at lower volume levels and can fill a room when maxed out.
In addition to the volume, the StormBox Micro produces a surprising amount of bass. Speakers of this size usually fall short due to the lack of space for subwoofers, but the StormBox Micro excels even in bass-heavy electronic music. Sure, it won’t compare to a dedicated speaker with a larger woofer, but at this size the StormBox Micro is hard to beat.
Even demanding songs like Bob Marley’s “Turn Your Lights Down Low” sound great on the speaker. It’s easy to detect instrumental position in the playback, and the StormBox Micro maintains a good sound balance with minimal distortion.
The primary issues that arose during playback were lower, bass-heavy moments sounding a bit washed out when higher sounds were dominant in a song. Of course, problems like this are expected when dealing with compact speakers.
Features and Functionality
The StormBox Micro has several notable features. It is designed to be used with a phone, as the Multifunctional Button, or MFB, has functionality catered toward phones. The StormBox Micro has two main playback modes: Music Mode and Conversation Mode.
In Music Mode, the MFB serves as the play and pause button when given a short press. A double press skips to the next track, while pressing it three times in a row goes back one track. If you press and hold for one second, the MFB will activate Siri on your phone.
Conversation Mode is a bit different. A short press of the MFB will answer or end a phone call, while pressing and holding for one second will reject the call. A short press during a phone call will put the call on hold to answer an incoming call, while subsequent presses will allow you to switch between two calls simultaneously.
Pair one StormBox Micro with another and you have access to even more features, including Party Mode and Stereo Mode. When you put the two speakers in Party Mode, you can play the same song in sync from both, spreading the sound out across a wider area.
Stereo Mode is where the power of the speaker really shines, however. The audio quality is already impressive for a device of this size, and on its own it has good spatial representation. When put in Stereo Mode, however, the speaker tells you which one is left and which is right.
Stereo Mode provides an audio experience that is on par with much higher-priced speakers. It’s impressive for such a small device, although if you have access to a set of high-end headphones, they will likely outperform the StormBox Micro.
On the other hand, if you’re looking for a way to get impressive audio quality even in your shower, the StormBox Micro might be your best option. With an IP67 weather resistance rating, the StormBox Micro can handle a lot of abuse–it’s water resistant up to a meter deep for half an hour.
Bluetooth and Battery Life
The Bluetooth functionality of the StormBox Micro is worth mentioning. It can pair with up to eight different devices total, and with up to two at the same time. That means there is no need to pass the aux cord, so to speak. If you and a friend are sharing music, all you have to do is pause your playback and your friend can start playing their music.
On a full charge, the StormBox Micro portable bluetooth speaker claims up to eight hours of battery life. While testing did not reveal an exact amount, the speaker played music for hours without a break and still had plenty of charge left over. Charging the speaker is easy, too–and included USB-C cable and a 5V plug is all you need.
StormBox Micro: Worth the Cost?
The Tribit StormBox Micro packs a lot of features into a small package, but it carries an equally small price tag. At just $50, it’s honestly hard to imagine a better Bluetooth speaker in this price range. There are options out there that may be louder and have more functionality, but they are more expensive too.
The StormBox Micro is loud, surprisingly effective where bass is concerned, and has enough features to make it a competitor against bigger brands., If you’re looking for a way to jam in the shower, this is your best bet.
