Tribit MaxSound Plus 24W Bluetooth Wireless Speakers

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.

Sound quality is great, bass is great, portability is great. Price is also great, waterproof as wellThe only thing negative is that after using it for one year, the back flap rubber protector’s connector broke and it came out. Deserves 5 stars otherwise
