These speakers are wonderful and provide a great audio experience in a compact package. They are great for working in the garage, outdoors, or just wanting to have music with you around the house. They connect easily to our phones. We kept fighting over the one we had so we bought a second so we could each be using them during our various tasks. I feel like the battery lasts a long time before completely dying as well. Great for the price!

I bought two of these 2.5 years ago. Both are still working flawlessly. The sound is a whole lot more pleasant than listening to music, radio, tv or audiobooks directly from my iPhone or Amazon Echo Dot. The Bluetooth syncs easily and is more convenient to pair and reconnect than a lot of the other BT devices I have used. The battery lasts a good long while, warns you "battery low" several minutes before dying, and is easy to charge via USB-C. Physically, the speaker is compact, sturdy and easy to carry around. One of these goes with me every time I get in the shower and gets a pretty good soaking, and, again, after 2.5 years of that, never a hiccup, still working like it did the day it was new. I just ordered a third Tribit speaker, to keep in our camper.

Got this to replace wife's desktop speakers. It is small, blutooth connectivity is easy and solid, sound quality is vibrant with a base bias. A good choice for a small, affordable, dependable speaker.

I was unfamiliar with this brand but decided to take a risk on this. I purchased this speaker so I could listen to music while I worked in my garden and in my greenhouse. Well let me outline the Pros and Cons of this speaker for you if you are looking for the perfect speaker! CONS- None! PROS- Awesome sound, Great Bass, no distortion when I turned up the volume. The sound worked well outside even at a significant distance. I have not even maxed out the volume except to test it. I usually find myself turning it down. The battery is amazing. I have been using it for several hours each day for a couple of weeks and I’ve only charged it twice. 👀 I find this amazing considering the amount of use it gets. I wondered how this would sound because I love crisp clean sounds and some speakers just don’t cut it. But this speaker was amazing and has made me a believer! I’ve even used it for phone calls. The sound wasn’t as crisp and clear during a call outside as my music was. But it was still a clear sounding call. I would buy this again!

I was not expecting much when I purchased this but it has been great! I use it mainly when I shower (lol) so it's gotten wet and it's fallen a couple of times but it's held up pretty well. The sound quality is decent, the battery lasts a long time, and the bass is punchy. My only gripe is that it's rounded so I can't set it up vertically and when it's on a smooth suface since it vibrates cause of the sound it will move and fall off where placed. The feet at the bottom that are supposed to prevent that don't do a very good job of keeping it stable. Other than that it's great.

I needed to replace my Tribit Max and saw this model and given the price I purchased it. Arrived quickly and sounds great. No sound option (e.g. deep bass) but I rarely varied from the default sound on my Max so no issue for me. Much lighter too. I'll stick with this smaller model in the future if needed.

Cu-do's to Tribit. I took a chance and bought the large Tribit Stormblast boom box. It was much more than I had hoped for. So, along with the boom box, let's see what their little Xsound Go tiny speaker sounded like. This tiny little speaker, once again, shocked me. It's 16 watts of really great sound! My wife was amazed at the big sound coming from such a small speaker. It's six inches long, two inches wide and 2 inches high. It actually fits in my front pocket. But, but the sound is BIG. Easily sounds good in a good sized room. It's inexpensive a very portable. You won't be disappointed.

Update: I am still just blown away .. .HOW did a company I already trusted (and I dont say that lightly or often) make my favorite speaker the XSound Surf ... better? ... HOW? ... I saw a deal on a used-like New one for $19+ tax ... I had to get it and it IS USB C and does sound identical to the original (other than tape on the box ... and i admit the seller was Tribit's parent company too) ... It basically looks brand new ... I am so happy about Tribit speakers, I admit it ... for "the right price" .. I am keeping an eye on the Tribit Max Sound Plus ... OH NOT TO REPLACE any of the ones i have ... just to add ANOTHER Tribit speaker to my collection. Thanks for making such great products AND having great support... even trying to help me in the past when i had issues with tribit speaker from a true (not related to Tribit in any way) third party seller. --------------------------------------- To be fair I was going to wait to write this review. The thinking was something really impresses me at first when it’s right out of the box, but then becomes “meh… I like it but it’s just ok” after some time using it. Before I begin, I will not bore people with the list of bluetooth devices I have but just to note, I do have some Tribit headphones, as well as the following bluetooth speakers - Oontz Angle 3 Ultra (that matters … I think as you go up in the Oontz lineup they sound a bit better than the last) - 2 Tribit XSound Surfs - LFS – LFS 180 – my first BT speaker - Braven BRV-1 and a DOSS Soundbox Touch I DO WANT to note that this review is on the apparent Upgraded version of the XSound Surf. I think it was youtuber Oluv Gadgets that said the originals didn’t sound as good to him but then he tried the upgraded model and it sounded a bit better. Which model one gets maybe key here I am NOT a fan of “OMG this is the best … there is nothing wrong with this product” reviews but .. to be honest other than a “things to note” item or two maybe … I have NOTHING bad to say about this speaker. Sound Quality, Build Quality, just … everything I can think of, I love. Basically one of my favorite speakers has been the Tribit XSound Surf (this speaker’s “little brother” I suppose). If someone said “OK you love the XSound Surf but be critical … what would you like to make it better?” … I would say A) longer battery life .. the Surf is ADVERTISED at 10HR max (the sound quality you get makes that totally acceptable to me… the Surf sounds GREAT) … AND B) without harming the great sound … maybe a little more soundstage or a “wider” sound. … WELL … that is what I am hearing with the GO. I DO ADMIT I have had this for less than a week so I really cant comment on the battery life other than “IT DOES last longer than the Surf” … just to be fair. But somehow they made a great sounding speaker sound better. Sound is right where I like it … there is so much punch in the bass, but it’s a CLEAN bass .. it doesn’t bleed into anything in my view. Also while you may not expect it looking at the “small package” of this speaker, to get a “sub-woofer” like sound out of it, but you do. Everything is right where I like it. It’s a “U” or “V” shaped sound but its sounds good and not forced in my view. “Things to Note”: Here I have to watch how I say this … this maybe as close to what some consider a “con” as you will get but I cant bring myself to say these are Cons. - While … almost all the speakers I have are like this and I do know “360 sound” speakers exist (Tribit even has some I believe) … the sound is not as “perfect” if you are not right in front of the speaker. Meaning behind it or on the side, you may really get the great sound but it’s not the best sound compared to “head one, speaker facing you”. Again this is NOT just an issue with the XSound GO. - Late at night I like listening Smooth Jazz, and relaxing music at lower volumes. With the Go and it’s lowest setting it is quiet (what I want) but sometimes the thump of that “subwoofer” type sound is still there … it drowns out the rest of the audio. One “click” up in volume and the issue is almost solved completely. While this sounds like a “Con”… this type of tuning makes me ALSO LOVE the speaker. BASICALLY what I mean is that at specific times in my use-case … It’s not the best at it’s lowest volume and that boomy sub-woofer like sound on those genres … OTHER TIMES this exact tuning at any other time of day (even the same genres) MAKES THIS MY FAVORITE sounding speaker. Comparisons to other speakers - The LFS 180 speaker has the issue of even at it’s lowest volume AND EVERYTIME you turn it on, it’s REALLY LOUD, but worse … it has a “Bluetooth buzz or hum” to it. It has great sound, but those issues make me not want to use it as much as I normally would. The Go is better than this speaker… the LFS sounds great but those two issues hold it back. - Tribit XSound Surf – Like I said this speaker maybe the “Little brother” of the XSound Surf. Everything is basically the same but I feel the GO (again this is the Upgraded “GO”) sounds a little more “full” and open to me. The battery life at least being advertised as a bit more than the Surf is a plus too. Not counting wanting more battery life, I think that the Surf MAY have been my former #1 favorite just on sound alone. - Oontz Angle 3 Ultra – without going into too much of a description the Ultra (2nd gen I think I have) sounds decent but it can sound boomy at times. Remember when I said this GO has “clean bass” well … I don’t want to go overboard as headphone, speaker, earbud wise I have heard FAR WORSE … the bass on the ultra bleeds into the mids sometimes … DON'T GET ME WRONG, I still REALLY love and recommend the ultra, but it doesn’t sound as “crisp” in the mids and highs as it could and … really how this XSound Go sounds. I know “muddy” and while I may have just described it, the Ultra is “not that “ bad but it is noticeable to me. I just want to be fair (pro and con sound wise) to Oontz there. Also I can not speak for “lower” Oontz models. - DOSS Soundbox Touch While the Soundbox Touch has bass, don’t get me wrong and late at night at low volumes it DOESN’T have that extra thump the XSound Go has (solving one of my “things to note” issues) … at higher volumes you 100% here the bass but many would consider the Soundbox Touch lacking in the bass.. especially self described “bass heads” … I suppose it depends on the sound you are looking for, but the Go 100% HAS a thump in the bass, the Soundbox doesn’t. - The Braven I have issues the comparison at the time of me typing this. The Braven has a good balance sound (I’d say cleaner and better than the Oontz Angle 3 Ultra) but its maybe a similar sound to the XSound GO here or XSound Surf with the bass pulled back a little … a thump but not as impactful as the Go’s or Surf’s .. TOTALLY not saying that is a bad thing either way. Conclusion: This … this Tribit XSound Surf MAY HAVE de-throned the Tribit XSound Surf as my #1 favorite bluetooth speaker that I own. I DO WANT to just bring up that while I have had issues with that LFS speaker I have. I RECOMMEND ALL of the ones mentioned here… Even with some having different pros and cons. XSound Go (Upgraded) wise … well that is a no-brainer if its my new favorite. OF COURSE I recommend it

First, this speaker is a great speaker that is compact and sounds great. I've played everything from 60's rock and roll to classical music to symphonic metal. All played well and sounded excellent for such a compact package. But there was a little hitch with charging the speaker.... For the initial setup, I noted that the speaker requires a 5 volt, 1.0 amp input. I tried a 5V, 0.7A wall charger figuring that it would charge, albeit more slowly. The speaker refused to charge whatsoever. The charge light would just blink. So, I consulted the owner's manual (I know, I know, I'm a guy. Consulting the manual is the last resort.) The manual states to NOT plug the speaker into a laptop/desktop USB port for charging because it would not supply enough voltage to charge the speaker. Hmmmm. A USB-C port will supply up to 5V at 3A, so I thought, "Why not?" So against the recommendation found in the owner's manual, I plugged the speaker into a desktop USB-C port. It charged. Theoretically, the speaker should only "pull" 5V, 1A, so the unit should just charge up just fine on a USB-C port. If so, then charging on a laptop/desktop will work. If too much power is coming off of the port, then it will burn up the speaker. But finding a 5V, 1A wall charger is something I have chosen to pass on for now. Time will tell if I am wrong or not.

-The speaker sounds great, good volume, good range, I'm really pleased that I found a nice little speaker box to play for my little Visio flatscreen from 2010 that pumps out loud clear sound, treble and bass. -Battery life is short imo, BUT, I'd be happy to just leave it plugged in, as it's substituting for the speakers on an old tv. I'd be a lot happier if the charging cord was longer, I'd like 3 feet. Normally I'd have spares but this speaker has a type I don't have many interchangeable spares for. So this speaker is on a short leash. -But finally, and here's my sticking point: the bluetooth doesn't stay connected right. Several times since I got this last September have I had to make my laptop forget the speaker and reconnect it, to get it to work. I have the booklet, it's clear, it's fine, what's not fine is having to redo all this stuff again every now and then. Not sure I'll buy Tribit again to replace my other speaker box that's starting to get raspy on me. Might take a risk on a different brand.
