Tribit has established itself as the go-to choice if you need a value-focused Bluetooth speaker. Having used the StormBox Blast, the all-new StormBox Blast 2, and the diminutive StormBox 2, I can say with some confidence that Tribit knows what it's doing in this area.
The Blast 2 continues to be a terrific all-rounder if you need a party speaker, but it is quite heavy, and it's overkill in most situations. That's where the StormBox Lava slots in; it is considerably smaller — and easily portable — but you still get 80W of sound in total, and all the extras. The StormBox Lava is available for $139 on Amazon, and that's a decent value when you consider the caliber of the sound.
