The Bose and the Sony are similarly equipped. The only way to fix this is to bring the volume down a few notches in order to maintain clear and crisp sound. However, we won’t recommend that you play the Bose at unsafe volume levels – as it struggles slightly to handle wide mid-range frequencies. And seeing the Bose’s size you might not expect it to be a powerhouse, but the speaker surprised us with the sound signature it achieved. The Sony may not be as loud as the LG, but nicely maintains audio integrity when cranked all the way up. But when you crank all of them up to the max, it’s the LG that stands its ground with crisp audio throughout. The Bose does seem to have a boosted high range, which can sound a little weird – but if you happen to be listening to some progressive rock tunes, you will end up noticing every single dynamic of the drums in a way that you’ve never really heard before (even if you’ve looped that song countless of times on other speakers).Ĭompared to the LG, which packs a 6.5-inch woofer, the Bose and the Sony get devoured in terms of volume. The Bose retains the brands signature flat response, but has been heavily improved to deliver better low end output. Owing to this, the LG’s low-end overpowers the mid-range frequencies. The LG is designed for a large room, or an open environment. The LG has a monster of a bottom end, and that’s even before you go near the Bass Blast button. The Sony also has a rear facing sub, which allows it to reflect off walls as well. But with the Extra Bass feature turned on, the bass becomes overwhelming and the mids and highs are not as crisp as they should be. In terms of sound equalisation, the Sony SRS-XB 40 seemed to offer the most balanced sound of the three. Everything else is irrelevant if the sound quality is sub-par. Thus, despite being big in size, the speaker still offers portability.Ībove all else, a Bluetooth speaker is only as good as it sounds. The LG speaker is inspired by modern travel bags, and it actually has a telescopic handle and two wheels at the back of the speaker – which allows you to drag it along as you would normally do with a stroller. But it only costs ₹15,990, and so it seems like the bargain of the century. The biggest of the bunch is the LG FH2 X Boom Handy, which is approximately four times the size and ten times the weight of the others. Weighing just 900 grams, the Bose speaker can also be a perfect travel companion. It can also reflect sound off the wall if placed in the corner of a room. Shaped like a lantern, with a rubberised flexible handle on top, the Bose is designed to provide 360-degree sound. As a result, the Sony converts itself to a light show that dances to your music.Ī little higher up the food chain comes the Bose SoundLink Revolve+, which is priced at a premium – near the top-end of our budget, at ₹24,500. The speaker equips front firing drivers and lights that are housed inside the front grille. Weighing in at 1.5kgs, and priced around ₹16,990, the Sony speaker has decent looks and features a brick shaped design that fosters portability. If you love to party, but you can’t stand being in a congested, closed space – surrounded by intoxicated, sweaty people – what do you do? The only alternative is a house party, where you invite your friends and they later head back to their respective homes impressed by your booming sound system.īut how much sound can you get if you have about `25,000 to spend on a good Bluetooth speaker? Well, we found three products that are available in different shapes and sizes to see if money can, in fact, buy you better sound quality.įirst up is the most conventional Bluetooth speaker of the lot, the Sony SRS-XB40. Can carry-on luggage provide better sound than a brick or a lantern? We find out.
