Big names such as Ultimate Ears and JBL dominate this end of the wireless speaker market; but what if a small, little known brand could step in, trounce the competition and wow us – all for a fantastically low price?
Enter Tribit Audio, a Chinese company whose Stormbox Micro is the second least expensive speaker in a line-up that is very affordable all round. Is it the speaker we have been dreaming of – the undiscovered belter set to steal the budget crown?
Durable and functional The Stormbox Micro is the size of a stack of drinks coasters, with a soft charcoal fabric jacket covering the upwards-facing half of the speaker. The bottom half is rubberised, with two buttons, for power and Bluetooth pairing. In between these are a mic and a display of six LEDs for connectivity and battery status. On the right edge is a waterproof USB-C charging port. On the underside is a neat little stretchy strap you can unsnap to sling over a bike handlebar or tent pole.

YG Acoustics Carmel 3
On paper, the Carmel 3 from Colorado-based speaker specialist YG Acoustics has a credibility problem. They cost a huge amount of money but are small, rather plain-looking two-way floorstanders.
