Review on πŸ”Š Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speakers: 3D Stereo Sound, IPX7 Waterproof, 20-Hour Playtime by Roman Starr

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Lots of features but no bass

I wanted something waterproof, small and cheap for my surfboard; While this speaker ticks all of those boxes, the sound quality is decent. Looks cool with glowing LEDs on each end of the speaker; However, they blink fairly randomly and are out of sync with the music. It is very light, quite small and therefore very portable. It also has a microphone so you can work with a voice assistant or as a speakerphone - a nice bonus at this price point. Battery life is reasonable and can be extended slightly by turning off the backlight. It charges very quickly when connected to USB-C (cable included, but you'll need your own power source). There's an equalizer button that toggles the sound profile between mediocre and even worse. Using Spotify's EQ, I significantly reduced the mids and increased the bass, the sound improved somewhat, but was slightly distorted at higher volumes. is quite indicative. Despite two passive radiators at both ends, the speakers produce very little bass. When compared directly to some of my other Bluetooth speakers, this one lags behind in terms of sound quality. My battered 6 year old JBL Charge 2+ delivers significantly more bass and an overall warmer and richer sound. The Anker Soundcore Flare offers a much better light show by playing clearer and louder. Both the JBL and Soundcore are more expensive speakers, so I did a final comparison with my Tribit Storm Micro, which is only $10 more and less. Despite its size, the Tribit delivers more volume, with a lot more bass and an overall smoother sound. It's not a bad speaker for the price, but for $10 more you get a much better speaker with the Tribit.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
