Soundboks Go

The Soundboks Go is a powerful and bass-heavy speaker that is suitable for outdoor use and can produce a thumping low-end suitable for bass-heavy music like EDM and hip-hop. It has a maximum volume output of 121 decibels in Bass+ mode and a weather resistance rating of IP65, making it suitable for use in any weather.

The speaker has a warm and pleasing low end with enough volume potential to maximize the listening experience regardless of the environment or venue you're using it in. However, at lower volumes, the speaker can sound very bright and flat, and the differentiation of individual bass frequencies is not well defined.

The Soundboks Go has a variable battery life depending on the volume level and EQ settings used. At mid-level volume, the battery can last up to 40 hours, while at full volume, the battery life can be as low as 10 hours. The Bass+ EQ mode, which emphasizes bass, can reduce the battery life to around 6 hours when used at maximum volume.

Meanwhile, the Power EQ mode, which does not emphasize bass as much, can offer up to 10 hours of battery life at maximum volume. Indoor mode offers a more neutral sound, reaches a maximum volume of 112 dB, and can last for almost 14 hours at maximum level. The battery can be charged in about 3 hours and is removable, allowing for easy replacement.

The Soundboks Go also has a Power EQ mode that extends battery life up to 10 hours at the expense of some bass. The speaker can be used while charging, but it is recommended to not raise the volume above 50% to avoid potential feedback screech through the speakers.

The Soundboks Go is a portable Bluetooth speaker that weighs 20 pounds and measures 12 x 18 x 10 inches (HxWxD).
