You might have heard the saying, “the bigger the better.” Well, that’s not always true. A bigger speaker might output more power, but it can sometimes affect the clarity and quality of sound, especially at higher volumes. Just take the boAt Stone Arc Pro Plus as an example. This Bluetooth speaker is designed for high-quality audio. It features 45W sound, boAt Spatial Audio, and dynamic RGB LEDs for a party atmosphere. Key specs include upto 12 hours of playtime, an IPX5 water-resistant rating, and a Broadcast Mode to sync with multiple compatible speakers. It comes with a good build quality and can withstand a few knocks and drops.
Switched on and connected to a laptop or phone, the sound quality is crystal clear with surprisingly deep bass for its size. It’s quite easy to pair and has a strong, stable Bluetooth connection. When streaming a movie on the laptop, the speaker creates a balanced and immersive soundstage. There is a built-in mic for handsfree calling, and the speaker takes about four hours to fully charge.
A more modest offering is the Ubon SP-95 King Series party speaker. This is ideal for road trips, parties and indoor gatherings. The speaker has a decent 20W power output and comes equipped with a 2000mAh battery that gives 20 hours of playtime. It offers a fast, stable, and seamless wireless connection with good clarity. On the connectivity front, it supports wireless v5.3, USB, TF Card, and FM Radio.
The speaker comes with a stylish carrying belt for on-the-go listening. Good sound quality, build and battery life – the SP-95 balances the features you need with a price you’re comfortable paying.
