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-1and a DOSS Soundbox TouchI 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 hereI 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 sayA) 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 TouchWhile 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

I don't usually write reviews, good or bad, but I felt I should for this little gem. First of all the sound is awesome. Believe what the other reviewers are saying, it does sound really good, and I have very picky ears. I don't know how it compares to expensive ones, because I won't spend that kind of money on a speaker for my workshop, but for the money this is great.Second, I want to mention how durable it seems to be. I had it playing on a shelf and didn't notice it was vibrating towards the edge until I heard it hit the concrete floor 5 feet below. I couldn't even find a mark on the thing, and it still works fine. Time will tell if it holds up in the long run but for now I am very happy with it.

This lil speaker is awesome. You will not be disappointed. The price is great, it's rechargeable, waterproof, rechargeable battery lasts for at least 10 hrs or more. This is my 2nd one. The 1st one lasted about 5 yrs. Used it a lot around edge of hot tub

This has great sound! It was already charged when it arrived which is very nice. This unit did include the USB cable but not the charger. The instructions indicate the charger must be min 0.75 and max watts 7.5 in order to achieve maximum charging speed. Would have given it 5 stars had it included the charger.

I’m very happy with the sound, and bass, the battery does last for hours on a full charge, and it charges pretty fast, believe me it will speak to you and tell you that the battery is low, the battery lasts the longest when the volume is at 50 percent. For the size of the speaker it gets really loud, I use it as a sound bar, for my 4k portable monitor while steaming using my 4k Amazon fire stick.

I wanted to really like this - the sound quality is pretty impressive I have a number of small speakers like this and the quality is on par if not better than the others (granted some are 7-8 years old). The main frustration I have with the speaker is that the volume cannot be consistently controlled from the device, only from the speaker. It works sometimes... and then others not. Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. When it happens, sometimes I can fix it by forgetting the device and re-pairing. Sometimes that doesn't work. So I can't figure out why it stops working or how to reliably fix it. None of the other speakers or devices I have, have this problem. If I can't figure out the magic to it, will likely return it.UPDATED:Ok, I needed to update this… I had been working with the company on trying to solve the issue with the volume (tl;dr - turns out it was a new version of the app, not the speaker). The company was willing to authorize a return but they really wanted to try to fix the problem. They sent me a firmware update, which wasn’t easy to install but that mattered less over time anyway. I really like the speaker. So more about that…One of the listening places is the shower (see picture). When I first started I would just put the speaker on the top of that chrome frame, which didn’t work the best. Of course the speaker vibrates a bit and it took a fall on more than one occasion. Sometimes it would fall on the tile floor of the bathroom, sometimes it would fall in the shower and get wet. Over a 6 foot drop onto the tile floor or in the shower and it held up just fine. I now have a shelf in the shower...The volume is impressive, I’ve used it outside a bit and on occasion keep it in my pocket if I’m moving around. I wouldn’t say it’s meant to be a pocket speaker, but it fits and it works. I’ve grown to like this speaker so much I wanted to order another one to try to play them in stereo mode. Now this is 6 months after I bought the first one. I ordered another and I couldn’t pair them – turns out after 6 months there was a new version and they weren’t compatible. The company offered to send me a new one… So they replaced my 6 month old speaker that was dropped in the shower with a new one. And now stereo mode works just fine.If I had to find on nit with the speaker... the cover that closes over the charging point is *very* robust, so when closed completely is hard to open. The plus side, nothing is getting in there (e.g. water) but if when I close it completely I need something to pry it open.But now I have two, my wife uses the second one more than I get to use it in stereo mode, but still happy to have both. Buy it for the speaker or buy it for the customer service – either is worth 5 stars.

So far so good great sound nice appearance easy connectivity charged it once and it’s been ready for action for a week!
