Altogether Aiwa offers with the Exos-9 an exciting jukebox, which is suitable for various occasions and thanks to the integrated equalizer is perfectly adaptable to your own wishes. The sound is great and can be tuned down to the last detail – thanks to aptX even via Bluetooth. The speakers are equipped with a dual-coil subwoofer for that rich bass experience. The dedicated midrange and tweeter drivers provide deeper, more precise, and broader music experience.

The largest part of the front panel is covered with a removable and transparent aluminum grille that protects those 5 drivers we’ve talked about. You can leave the grille on or remove it – it all depends on your taste. Considering the size and number of drivers inside the speaker and the playtime, 15,600mAh seems more believable. 2,600mAh is simply to small for this kind of speaker. Besides, USB powerbank port would be useless if this was the actual battery capacity. To put things in perspective, Samsung S9 features 3,000mAh battery while iPhone X features 2,700mAh battery.

Big sound for those who need the extra volume

One of the most anticipated party speakers to be released is the Anker Soundcore Rave Mini. The Soundcore Rave Mini is an affordable loud portable Bluetooth speaker with LED lighting to create that party vibe. The speaker is lightweight with a handle on one side, so you can easily take your beats on the go. Battery Sometimes the speaker manufacturer will state the RMS Wattage, and sometimes it will state its Peak Power – or sometimes both. What you need to pay attention to is its RMS Wattage. RMS The lowest threshold of human hearing, meaning the lowest sound level we as humans can hear (20 micro pascals) – translates to 0 SPL and is accepted as the reference point by which all other sounds are compared against. RMS Wattage vs. Peak Power Even with its compact size, the Soundcore Rave Mini delivers an impressive 80W of power output. The speaker includes 2 x 5.25-inch woofers, 2 x 2-inch tweeters, and a single passive bass radiator for optimum bass performance. The speaker is surprisingly loud for its size, and the sound quality is better than most other Anker speakers.

The controls are on top, but the readout for these controls is in front. I talk about this later, but it makes setting up so much harder than it needs to be. For some, the frustration this causes would be enough to make it a deal breaker. The bass is powerful and punchy but controlled. The mids are very detailed and dynamic, and highs are perfectly clear. You will get this kind of neutral sound signature when the EQ is off. If you want bassier sound, or if you want to emphasize the voices and midrange, you can play with EQ presets and those adjustable EQ bands (+/- 12dB) and find the type of sound that you like. Exos-9 is also very loud. It’s one of the loudest Bluetooth speakers on the market (max SPL is rated at 100+dB) which makes it great for parties. The distortion is almost nonexistent and the bass stays controlled and it doesn’t overpower the midrange even at full volume. The speaker comes with an IP67 (IPX7) waterproof rating and is enclosed in a tough enclosure that resembles more of a small jerry can rather than a speaker. When we say this is a rugged speaker, we mean it. Everything about this speaker’s design is catered to the outdoor enthusiast who loves music. You can easily toss this into your trunk thanks to its great build quality and light weight. Battery Life i just love the little something about yourself section.I believe in every word, it shows so much strong and clear. With the Turtlebox you have the option of ⅛-inch AUX or Bluetooth for audio inputs. Turtlebox Audio state the Bluetooth range of being about 100 ft which is more than enough for operating the speaker outdoors. Sound

Another awesome-looking portable Bluetooth speaker is the Sony XB90. The XB90 is the loudest Bluetooth party speaker from Sony. It comes with an array of LED lights, including a strobe effect, to add some party ambiance. In addition, the speaker comes with audio effects for the microphone input. This makes the XB90 great for karaoke parties. Audio Connections On the speaker hold and press the “PLAY” and the “LINK” button for 3 seconds or until you hear the unit beep The EQ controls have left and right arrows to select an EQ band or one of the four preset bands. The up and down arrows will adjust the gain the EQ band selected. EQ presets, 5 adjustable EQ bands, battery save mode, extended battery (sold separately), USB powerbank port There are few, if any, portable Bluetooth speakers like the Aiwa Exos-9 that boast 5 active speaker drivers and have 200 Watts of continuous power (not just peak) to those drivers. Most top out at 40 watts.

Ultimate Ears have earned a reputation for designing some of the most trendy-looking portable Bluetooth speakers on the market. The UE MEGABOOM 3 is one of the company’s best-selling speakers because of its compact size and surprisingly big sound. Audio Connections There are many factors that affect the volume of a speaker. Looking at the wattage alone might give you an idea of a speaker’s potential volume (a 400W speaker will definitely be louder than a 5W speaker) but make sure you are comparing the RMS wattage instead of peak power. Do More Decibels Mean Louder? You can use the standard USB port to charge your phone which is convenient when you’re outside. And you can do this even while streaming music. But it’s a single use USB port only. You can’t use it as a digital-in port. Peachtree Audio deepblue3 and Exos-9 are similar in many ways – they have the same boxy design, the number (as well as the size and placement) of drivers is the same, and they have similar dimensions. They are also priced the same. Recharging the battery takes some 5-6 hours so remember to leave enough time to have the battery ready for your next party. Saving Battery Power

Works well at home, not when it’s away

This is clever desing to consider that this speaker can work with various voltages on the batteries. Often loud Bluetooth speakers deliver a lot of noise but low quality. That’s not the case with the SOUNDBOKS. This speaker sounds great at low and high volumes. The bass is nice and punchy, perfect for urban and dance genres. Portability

Like most Bluetooth speakers, pairing your Aiwa Exos-9 is straightforward. Turn on the speaker and activate Bluetooth on your device. The speaker will appear as “Aiwa Exos-9” on your device search screen. Select and you’re connected. Sound – Surround sound is a great feature. Look at the wattage and choose something that is 200 watts or above for a more powerful sound. Aiwa has made it easy to refresh the connectivity of your device or to share the speaker with your friends. The sound of the Aiwa Exos-9 is powerful and very clear. Five integrated loudspeakers, including a 6.5-inch subwoofer with an output of 200 watts, ensure this. With the help of the equalizer, it was possible to adapt the AUX mode to one’s own wishes to a great extent. Everything is possible with the Exos-9, from balanced to bass-heavy to high-frequency sound. We were very satisfied with that. We noticed particularly positively that the settings are consistently maintained even at high volumes – even bass-stressed sound is still perfectly reproduced at high volumes. ConclusionUnfortunately, the buttons are all you've got - there is no smartphone app to control the speaker, which makes it feel positively ancient in an age where our wireless headphones receive regular firmware updates over Bluetooth.
