1. Tribit Xsound Go

Overall Best Pick

• Ear-pleasing sound quality
• Decent build quality
• TWS function for surround sound experience

BUY FROM AMAZON

Tribit is a North American audio products manufacturer that delivers quality Bluetooth speakers under affordable budget.

This product here is the upgraded version of Tribit Xsound Go with 16W sound output priced competitively under Rs.2,500.

Design and Build Quality

Tribit has improved the internals but the exterior is the same as the old model. The only change we can find is that it now has a USB-C port for charging which is an appreciable change.

The speaker has a stretched ellipse shape and it rests comfortably on a flat surface.

If you don’t find a place to put it you can hang it on the wall as well using the lanyard which is attached to the speaker from its right.

All the control buttons are at the top and in the rear, you will find an I/O port room hidden under the flap.

The grill with the Tribit branding is of metal and the rest of the chassis is made out of plastic materials.

The speaker does come with waterproofing so you can take it to the poolside or your bathroom while having a shower.

Speaker and Sound Quality

The Tribit Xsound Go now has improved 16W sound output and it consists of two 46mm drivers.

There is a passive radiator placed right in the center between the two drivers which helps enhance the low frequency.

Compared to its previous 12W model, this one does produce a more loud sound that is adequate for a medium-sized room.

Diving into the audio quality, we must say that the sound coming from this speaker is more polished and feels pleasing to the ears.

The vocals and instrumental sound are fine-tuned and the bass is also good.

To be honest, there is a noticeable distortion in this speaker at 100% volume which is to be expected from a budget speaker system.

Miscellaneous

The new addition of the Tribit Xsound Go also comes with Bluetooth v5.0 technology.

Apart from the Bluetooth wireless connectivity, the auxiliary cable is the only option left to play songs from a smartphone without turning on Bluetooth.

You will also get to enjoy the TWS function with this speaker. If your friend and you have the same speaker you can connect this speaker simultaneously to enjoy a louder surround sound experience.

Battery Life

The Tribit Xsound Go is powered by a 4400mAh battery that will last up to 24 hours as per the company but consider the battery backup for up to 10-12 hours with the volume level set at 80%.

The USB-C is indeed a good option to have but power input is limited to 5V so you have to wait for like 4 hours to fully charge this speaker battery.

Verdict

The Tribit Xsound Go is undoubtedly one of the best speakers out there in the market with crisp and clear sound quality and an affordable price tag.
