Warranty – A product warranty is beneficial in case your product gets damaged during shipment. This is not saying that the product is not durable. A warranty is useful for factory defects which may have slipped through quality inspection. It is best to have one for emergencies. Audiophiles don’t have to worry about sound quality and surround sound. You can even connect two Aiwa Exos-9 speakers for a more powerful and surround-quality sound system. You can configure them as dual stereo or stereo-separated depending on your needs. Host a large party and keep them entertained with high-quality surround music. We broke this list into two distinct sections: large, loud Bluetooth speakers and the loudest portable Bluetooth section. While we’ve already explained the differences, we separated these products because many of the large Bluetooth speakers on this list don’t fit into what the average consumer is after. Our lightweight section is a more versatile selection that also makes sense buying as your daily driver of Bluetooth speakers at home. Why Trust Us? The good thing about this speaker is that you can pair two devices simultaneously and switch from one device to another when playing music. It also has a slot for charging mobile devices. The 10-hour audio playtime is also great for uninterrupted music. While a single Bluetooth speaker is enough for most people if you host events or require multiple speakers to be set up in stereo or placed in different locations, stereo pairing/chaining is essential.

The SOUNDBOKS 3 is the upgrade to our previous winner, The SOUNDBOKS 2. The self-proclaimed “loudest battery-powered speaker in the world.” This Bluetooth speaker produces a whopping 126 decibelsof high-quality audio with incredible 80 hours of battery life. These two features alone put The New SOUNDBOKS at the top of the list as our choice of the loudest Bluetooth speakers. Battery The Exos-9 automatically switches to auxiliary input when you plug in the cable from your device with the screen showing “AUX IN” for the time you’re connected. Hold the play/pause button on the speaker to switch inputs manually if it doesn’t happen automatically. What If One is Not Loud Enough?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 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. On the speaker hold and press the “PLAY” and the “LINK” button for 3 seconds or until you hear the unit beep At the bottom of the front on each end are two oblong recessed slots that look like bass ports but in fact, do nothing. They’re for looks only.

And therein lies my frustration. When you’re adjusting the equalizer controls on the top panel, you must look at the front panel equalizer display to see the setting. 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. EQ presets, 5 adjustable EQ bands, battery save mode, extended battery (sold separately), USB powerbank port The first thing that you should test is the sound. Test it outdoors or in a large room and take note of the quality. Adjust the bass, mids, highs, and pre-set equalizer according to the music genre. Listen to the sound of the bass if it emits a vibrant and booming sound with no skips. Crank up the volume and listen for distortion. It’s a matter of trial and error. You’ll know when you have the distance right. Too close and the bass is dulled but further out and you get to enjoy a deep booming bass sound. The Problem with Controls on Top and Display on the Front PanelTheir primary purposes are completely different. SoundTouch 30 is a wi-fi speaker (Exos-9 only features Bluetooth). Soundtouch 30 is designed to be part of your multiroom speaker system. SoundTouch 30 features Alexa support and allows you to stream any audio content from your devices via your home wi-fi network. 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. On the technical connectivity front, the Exos-9 has the latest aptX® Bluetooth compression technology. So, the sound quality is much better than the basic A2DP standard Bluetooth stereo streaming protocol you still find in some speakers.
