Best Budget Bluetooth Speaker

Tribit StormBox Micro 2

At $50, the StormBox Micro 2 punches so far above its weight class it's almost unfair to the competition. Waterproof, bass-forward, and genuinely portable — it's the best sub-$60 speaker you can buy.

$50-$80
Pros
  • IPX7 waterproof rating for full submersion protection
  • Extra-bass button adds surprising low-end thump
  • Ultra-compact and lightweight — fits in a jacket pocket
  • Up to 24 hours battery life (StormBox 2 variant)
  • Stereo pairing with a second unit
Cons
  • Bass boost can sound slightly muddy at high volumes
  • Small size limits maximum volume output
  • No voice assistant integration
Why we recommend it

Stop overpaying for a portable speaker. The Tribit StormBox Micro 2 is what CNET and WIRED both recommend when budget is the priority — and it sounds better than speakers twice its price.

Tribit Bluetooth speakers sound a lot better than they should for the price. The StormBox 2 is largely the same as the original model, with dual-firing drivers and passive radiators in a 7-inch-long tube, but it comes with upgraded controls and about 6 watts more output.
