Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Tribit Xsound Plus 2

  • Affordable budget pricing with great value compared to competitors
  • Impressive 30W volume output and clear, well-rounded sound quality
  • Extensive EQ customization options via the physical buttons and the companion app
  • Excellent battery life offering up to 24 hours of playtime at moderate volumes
  • Reliable IPX7 waterproof rating ideal for outdoor, poolside, and shower use
  • Sturdy, premium-feeling build quality with a compact, highly portable design
  • Stable Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity with long wireless range and multi-device pairing

What customers don't like about Tribit Xsound Plus 2

  • Feels heavier than anticipated for its compact footprint
  • Narrow soundstage due to its small physical dimensions
  • Deep bass response can feel slightly lacking without the XBass mode or custom EQ tweaks
  • Physical volume control buttons step up the volume at a rate that is too high for precise low-volume adjustments
  • Some users reported buttons can occasionally feel sticky after being exposed to puddles or debris

Verdict

The Tribit XSound Plus 2 is a compact, portable Bluetooth 5.3 speaker delivering a powerful 30W output through dual 15W neodymium full-range drivers and a passive bass radiator. Its primary advantages include an impressive 24-hour battery life (4,800mAh capacity), a rugged IPX7 waterproof rating, a 150-foot wireless range, multi-device pairing, and robust sound customization via a companion app's 9-band EQ alongside a patented XBass algorithm. However, its drawbacks include a slightly conservative, bulky design weighing 1.76 lbs, a lack of official dust protection, a flimsy included lanyard, and a sound profile that lacks deep sub-30 Hz sub-bass rumble and requires active EQ tinkering to maximize clarity across different music genres.
