Every hi-fi system needs a good pair of stereo speakers. While Bluetooth speakers are compact and are truly wireless, meaning no clutter of cables, many people still prefer the old-style speakers that enchant with their sound fidelity and reliable connection. In fact, the latter have stood the test of time, captivating the hearts of many audiophiles. There are plenty of advancements happening in this audio segment, as made evident by two new offerings that we have evaluated in recent times.
Unix Drake
Unix Drake is a tower speaker that stands out both in performance and aesthetics. With a powerful 60W RMS output, driven by a 5.25-inch subwoofer, it delivers rich, room-filling sound with deep bass, crisp highs and balanced mids, catering to all musical genres. The speaker measures 24 x 10 x 5 inches and its sleek, floor-standing design is enhanced by vibrant, dynamic LED lighting that is quite an attraction. Moreover, its true wireless stereo (TWS) functionality allows users to wirelessly pair two Drake units, creating a powerful stereo soundstage ideal for larger spaces or gatherings.
The speaker offers versatile connectivity options, including Bluetooth 5.0, USB, AUX, and a Mic Socket, making it easy to connect with various devices. The included wireless microphone makes it perfect for karaoke sessions. For those who prefer to customise their sound, the speaker features built-in bass and treble controls, allowing users to fine-tune their listening experience.
Ubon SP-38 Speaker
The SP-38 Rockstar Series is designed for today’s active users. It features two 4-inch speakers with 30W powerful sound for a rich and clear audio experience.
There is Bluetooth 5.3 for seamless wireless pairing, along with USB, Aux, FM radio, and TF card support – ensuring music never stops, no matter your source. With a strong 4000mAh battery, it offers up to 10 hours of playtime, making it apt for house parties, outdoor fun, or just everyday music listening.
The speaker’s dual mic support (wired + wireless) ensures your voice is heard loud and clear. RGB lights are another attraction; a user gets to choose from five different mood modes, whether it is for quiet and solo evenings or high-energy dance floors.
