SOUNDBOKS Speaker Review – Is It the Best Wireless Speaker?
Wireless speakers have become a dominant force in the music industry. No more wires and cables strung Along Your Walls. In recent years, a variety of wireless speakers have been developed and become smarter and more capable than ever in terms of size, price, and quality. And yet, there’s one wireless speaker that stands out among others, the Soundboks 2 and Soundboks 3.
Soundboks created their products for specific users with a need for loud volume and a wireless connection. They have managed to create an extremely loudspeaker, a relatively lightweight (33 lbs), and a solid wireless connection.
In this article, we will review the Soundboks 2 as well as the Soundboks 3 which is expected to go on sale on August 16 beginning at 9 AM CET in Europe and 9 AM PST for the US/CAN webshop.
Soundboks products
Currently, the company offers the following products:
Soundboks 2
The Soundboks 2 wireless speaker is the main product offered by the company. Soundboks also provides additional products that support the Soundbok 2. Those include the Soundboks backpack, the battery bok, and the charger 2.
Though you can still find the Soundboks 1 on second-hand boards (eBay) at a price of around $500, the Sounbboks 2 is the successor of the Soundboks 1 and is better in all aspects. For example, the Soundboks 2 plays louder than the SOUNDBOKS 1 by 40% and has the functionality to play indoors and outdoors compared to the Soudnboks 1, which is suitable for outdoors only.
The Soundboks 2 contains all the necessary features to use the speaker for parties, concerts, and outdoor events. The design of the speaker looks similar to a festival and concert speaker and its dimensions (25.6 x 17 x 13 in/66 x 43 x 32 cm) are in a good size to place the speaker at a big event and carry it quite easily as a portable speaker with two handles for easy lifting or you can purchase a backpack at a price of $129.
Soundboks 2 Seek Discomfort Limited Edition
The Yes Theory speakers or the Soundboks 2 Seek Discomfort limited edition is still on sale as of August 13. Soundboks has recently released the ultimate limited edition portable Bluetooth speaker in collaboration with Yes Theory at a price of $949 and the package includes the Sounboks Yes speaker, battery boks, charger, and aux cable.
