Edifier MR5

What it brings

What to check

Tribit StormBox Micro 3

What it brings

  • IP68 rating with a 1.22 m drop test, plus both a silicone strap and a magnetic mount.
  • Rated for 24 hours at 50% volume with about 2 hours to recharge at 5V/3A, and it can charge a phone over USB-C.

What to check

  • No AUX input; audio is Bluetooth only (AAC/SBC), and it pairs only with another Micro 3.
  • Dimensions are published in inches only, and the page gives two different Bluetooth range figures.
