TribitPortable Bluetooth Speaker XSound Plus 2, Wireless Speaker 30W with XBass, IPX7 Waterproof, 24-Hour Playtime, Stereo Sound, Built-in Mic, Bluetooth 5.3 for Party, Car, Travel

Update: I have been continuing to use my speaker as much as possible being "used-acceptable" but looking and acting like it's actually brand new. I purchased another one because i saw a good deal on one and noticed the same issue with the power button "not shutting the speaker off" too .... and then i finally read the directions ..... there is only one way to say this. The user (... aka ME) is an idiot.... I am used to pressing and sort of holding a speaker's button for a second or so to shut it off and that is what i was doing.FINALLY doing what the instructions say, being a "fast tap" of the power button ..... and the speaker turned off instantly ... doing what i had to on the same device to switch back to the "Used - Acceptable" speaker that I wrote this review about .... and then tried that "fast tap" of the power button when it is on and paired ... that one turned off instantly too. SO ..... my only "issue" now with that first speaker is wondering WHY it was "used-acceptable" (I mean i am BEYOND HAPPY about the way this turned out) ... it looks and acts brands new and came with everything. The one thing that I was attributing to the listed condition .... was MY OWN error and a non-issue.I mean things can always be improved but .... before i was given this a 4.5 out of 5 to a 5 out of 5 ... NOW ... I think i have to give this a 5 out of 5 and i dont give that rating much ... again "something can always be improved even if its a minor thing" sort of thing so i will give a project a 4.5 out of 5-------------------------------------------------------I am not even sure how to open this review as I try to give as many details about the product in pros and cons (without just copying spec details that you can read elsewhere)… I have a feeling this review may be simpler than others I have done but I will still try to say compare products.The TL/DR is that I have one negative (with a HUGE catch) with this speaker and EVERYTHING else is a Pro. I don’t give out 5 out of 5’s, as something can “always be improved” but … this Tribit XSound Plus 2, is at worst 4.5 out of 5, and may actually get a 5 out of 5 from me.Pros: Pretty much everything… I really mean it. Sound Quality, Build Quality, Battery Life.. just everything.-------------------Comparsion to other speakers in my experience.MaxSound Plus: While I am not 100% sure I almost view this “XSound Plus 2” as the “MaxSound Plus 2” ...with that one it was tied with another speaker from Tribit (spoiler while I love some other brands too .. Tribit makes my top 4 favorite speakers) for my #1 favorite, however two things held it back .. lower battery life than expected but … not terrible … AND a bluetooth “hum” or “buzz” at lower volumes that while annoying … sort of blends into the audio a few “volume notches up” ….This XSound Plus 2 DOESN’T have that hum/buzz connected to the same device and the battery life is MUCH better. I can live with the MaxSound Plus’s battery life no problem … but this model IS BETTER and like I said I sort of feel this is the “MaxSound Plus 2”.XSound Go: This GREAT speaker is the one that was tied with the MaxSound Plus as my co-#1 favorites … it has much better battery life in my experirence then the MSP, and it has great sound (MSP plus wise I’d compare this to the “Music Mode” in the MSP’s built in EQ settings on the speaker itself) … that EQ thrio of Music, Bass and Audio Book (which YT reviews I have seen do not do it justice) is why the MSP is tied despite having lower battery life. The XSound GO HAS GREAT SOUND itself, don’t get me wrong.Not counting an ADDITION to even this … The XSound Plus 2 is sort of the best of both the MaxSound Plus AND the XSound Go. Tribit’s done it again and made a GREAT product.----------------------------------The big new thing that was added in addition to improving things that were issues for me (at some level anyway) with the MaxSound Plus, is that this speaker HAS Tribit App support. I have used a few devices with apps including Soundcore (I need to use that one again), Fiil’s and Oontz’s and other than perhaps Soundcore’s .. Tribit has the best app of the bunch. I will not go into boring details but it gives you a lot of control and perhaps the best device’s (not counting say android apps like Wavelet that can be used on any BT device) app of the bunch that I have tried. Yet again .. .Well done Tribit.------------------------------------The Negative:Here is the thing … there is a BIG catch at the end. The issue is that the Power button on my speaker TURNS it on and everything functions like normal; however, the power button does NOT turn the speaker off no matter what I do.My workaround: unpair the XSound Plus 2 from the device (usually an android tv box but that doesn’t matter) … this means it DOES NOT show in that devices’s BT device list any longer. At this point it goes into pairing mode and (I could have the time off here) within 2 to 5 minutes max it shuts off if it cant connect to anything. Not ideal but this method of shutting it off works while only “wasting a little more” battery life.THE CATCH to this negative: I bought this as my first Amazon “Used- Acceptable” condition product. Used Acceptable is sort of like “thift store level find” to me (only with a 30 day return window too) … OTHER than this issue I mentioned, everything seems BRAND NEW. I KNOW from prior experience with Tribit products that this is NOT NORMAL and not typical for someone reading this review.I also HAVE TO mention because of this condition … I bought this from Tribit’s parent company as a seller … AT A MASSIVE price discount. Less then 25% of what I am seeing as the retail price. All of this info (problem that isn’t that bad, everything else being “brand new” level including the condition of the actual speaker, AND the price I paid) …. equals a VERY HAPPY customer, writing this review.---------------------I don’t think I have to say it but of course I TOTALLY recommend not only this speaker but other Tribit products. I have always been happy with their products and WHEN there is an issue, they repeatedly go above and beyond in my view to “make things right” (don’t have issue often, but it happen). To be totally fair … I saw a deal for a “used-very good” (if I remember) XSound Plus 2 come up … again the seller being Tribit’s parent company and … I ordered it two days ago, lol … I have another one of these on the way.

I work from home and had a speaker that made a very annoying trill of beeps when it turned on or off...drove me nuts.This little treasure comes with an app where you can silence those noises... wah lah! And this can go a bit quieter on volume if I get a call. And the sound is really good.It took me a bit to figure out how to back up and advance the songs. The round circle in the middle:one quick press = pause and play.two quick presses: go to the previous song but only after the current song plays for about 10 secs or it just starts over.three quick presses: advances to the next song.

I’ve been using the Tribit XSound Plus 2 for a few weeks now, and it has completely exceeded my expectations. For a speaker under $70, the sound quality is phenomenal. It delivers rich, balanced audio with surprisingly powerful bass, especially once you adjust the EQ through the Tribit app. Whether I’m playing upbeat tracks or more mellow tunes, the clarity in the mids and lows is impressive for something this compact.Battery life is another standout feature. At moderate volumes, I’ve easily gotten over 20 hours of playtime, and even at higher volumes it holds up for around 10 to 13 hours. That kind of endurance makes it perfect for long days at the park or backyard hangouts without needing to constantly recharge.The speaker also holds up well outdoors thanks to its IPX7 waterproof rating. I’ve used it by the pool and even during a light rain with no issues at all. While it’s not dustproof, and the build isn’t ultra-rugged, it still feels solid and reliable enough for everyday use. The matte finish looks clean and resists fingerprints, and the strap makes it easy to carry around.Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity has been flawless. Pairing is quick, the signal stays strong even from a distance, and the option to pair two speakers together works seamlessly. If I had to nitpick, I’d say some of the default EQ presets could be a little more refined—one of them sounded a bit flat out of the box—but that’s easily fixed by customizing your own settings through the app.Overall, the XSound Plus 2 hits that rare sweet spot of performance, features, and price. If you're looking for a portable speaker that delivers strong, reliable sound without breaking the bank, this one is an absolute winner.

I got this to drown out the horrible "music" I am forced to contend with at the beach. It's worked out well, quite loud enough, the EQ options (especially on the app) allow me to get a more balanced, less boomy sound that is fine. It has a built in microphone and will connect wirelessly to my Android phone so I have been using it as a speakerphone, much better than using the phone itself. It is quite small, but pretty heavy for its size. Easy to pop in the beach bag and carry in from the car to use at home. Amazing you can get this much bass out of the tiny thing.

IT'S THE BEST BLUETOOTH SPEAKER I have ever owned, totally off the charts the QUALITY IS NEXT LEVEL and the sound is ULTRA HD and you can hear EVERYTHING I'm buying a second one for my Girlfriend so she can ROCK OUT TO, LoL 🤣🤣🤣

Work great, battery lasts for a long time!

Suena genial

Well, I’m not gonna lie. I have had the smaller X Sound Go for over 6 years, and was always pleased with the output and quality of the product. Just been playing g with the new X Sound Plus 2, and it is very impressive. Bigger in size, slightly heavier, and more features, like an app with an EQ have surpassed my expectations. The richness in bass, the easy customization of overall sound, and portability make this thing very impressive. If you’re on the fence, take my word, I’m keeping it!
