Get 30% off this already cheap little Bose competitor - CNET

Over the years Tribit has made some of the better budget portable Bluetooth headphones and speakers, starting with its XFree Tune and XSound Go, respectively. The latter speaker is still around and delivers surprisingly good sound for less than $30. Now it's doing a budget version of Bose's excellent SoundLink Micro speaker. The new model is called the StormBox Micro and it's one of the best-sounding pocket-size speakers I've heard.

Usually, it sells for $56, but if you apply the code TBMIC30FCN at checkout from Amazon, the price drops to $39.19. That's a savings of almost $17 and the best deal we've seen on this speaker (it was previously on sale for $45).

You can read my full StormBox Micro review here, but the quick take is that like the Bose it has more bass and fuller sound than most tiny Bluetooth speakers. It's also fully waterproof (IP67 rating) and can deliver up to eight hours of battery life at moderate volume levels. While it doesn't seem as durable or as sleek-looking as the SoundLink Micro, it does seem well built and you can wirelessly link two together to create a stereo pair.
