The Tribit Micro 2 has very good controls. There are three physical controls on the front of the unit, all of which produce a satisfying click, making them easy to access and use. Unsurprisingly, the plus and minus buttons control the volume while the circular central button serves several purposes. You press it once to play or pause audio, twice to skip forward, and thrice to skip backward. Pressing and holding it will activate voice assistant mode. Finally, a short press accepts a call, and a long press rejects a call. You can see the rest of the controls in the manual.

The power and Bluetooth buttons are located on the side of the unit. You press and hold the Bluetooth button to enter pairing mode, and once paired, the Bluetooth LED turns solid blue. You can also use the Bluetooth button to pair the speaker with other Stormbox Micro 2 units for stereo playback or Party mode.

The speaker offers clear audio and visual feedback, including chimes for power, pairing, and max volume. The power button changes color based on battery level. However, there’s no chime for minimum volume, and the volume LEDs only light up when the volume is being adjusted; they don’t actually show the current level.
