Product Information

Use Earplugs or Earmuffs: Wear earplugs or earmuffs to minimize the intensity of sound reaching your eardrums. These devices create a physical barrier between your ears and loud noises, effectively reducing the risk of hearing damage. Woburn II and the whole Marshall speaker line is one of the most attractive on the market. Woburn II features a very recognizable, some would even say iconic Marshall guitar amp design. It has a solid wooden cabinet wrapped in a nicely textured vinyl. The drivers are protected with a great-looking grille with the Marshall logo on it. Overall, it looks very refined, very sophisticated. Used as an amp, the PartyBox 300 would be more appropriate for, say, an electronic synth than an electric guitar. Obviously, you won't be getting any of the advantages of tube-amp tone through this system, it's just a loudspeaker. To simplify things, two characteristics you can usually find in the specs list determine the max SPL of a speaker and can tell you how loud a speaker can be at max volume. The first one is the sensitivity (usually measured in dB at 1m distance while only 1W of power is supplied). The second one is the power rating (peak power output, to be more specific). The power output is measured in Watts (W). When you know these two values, you can tell how loud a speaker can be. You just need to know one more rule – when the power doubles, the SPL level increases by 3dB. The speaker houses a large battery compartment on the left side. The battery (also called the BATTERYBOKS 2) is removable/replaceable and rechargeable. You can buy as many batteries as you want and never stop partying. One battery will provide 40h at moderate volumes (or 5h at max volume).

Prioritize sound quality when choosing a Bluetooth speaker. Opt for one with a total harmonic distortion below 1% and a solid frequency response. Lower distortion levels result in better audio quality, while a wider frequency response range indicates better bass and treble capabilities. 3. Size: Exos-9 looks like a good old boombox player. It resembles the old Aiwa boomboxes but it’s stylized and more attractive. Many loud Bluetooth speakers are rugged and maybe even have some IPX rating but very few are fully waterproof. If you’re looking for the loudest waterproof Bluetooth speaker, our top suggestion is JBL Boombox. Altec Lansing Xpedition 8 is the second-best. S1 Pro is the loudest portable Bluetooth speaker from Bose but it’s not the loudest in its price range. You can find quite a few Bluetooth speakers that are louder than the S1 Pro and cost less. Marshall Woburn II houses two 5.25in woofers and two 0.75in tweeters. Each driver is driven by a dedicated Class-D amp (50Wx2 for the woofers and 15Wx2 for the tweeters). The speaker sounds exactly the same as it looks – very refined. The bass is present, fast, and punchy. The midrange is clear, detailed, and sweet. The highs are accurate and consistent. All in all, it’s an engaging and quite enjoyable sound signature. Things we don’t likeThe NEW SOUNDBOKS stayed very loud, even louder than the previous two speakers (126dB). The advertised RMS power output is 216W. The sound has a much better balance, with clearer mids, more consistent highs, and powerful bass (but not as overwhelming as it was on the SOUNDBOKS 2). Fact 3 : The difference between dangerous and acceptable loudness (aka SPL or sound pressure level) is actually very small and subtle. For example, exposure to 90dB SPL for more than 8 hours/day can already cause noise-induced hearing loss. 90dB is the average noise that a lawnmower produces. If the noise level (SPL) increases by only 10dB (to 100dB), the max allowed exposure time is only 2h/day. Anything longer than that will, in the long run, cause some damage. The wireless connection runs on Bluetooth 4.2. The speaker supports NFC pairing and provides a stable connection within the 50ft range.

Even though it has a huge battery, the speaker doesn’t have any USB charge-out ports for charging other devices. SoundTouch 30 features both Bluetooth and wi-fi connectivity, it’s super easy to use, it is compatible with other SoundTouch speakers and with Alexa-enabled devices, Things we likeThe best thing about Exos-9 is, without a doubt, the sound quality. Not only because it’s loud but also because it’s very sophisticated and smooth. The bass is strong and punchy, the mids are clear and detailed, and the treble is consistent and accurate. Things we don’t like

Fact 1 : The human ear is a very complex and very sensitive organ. The smallest change in loudness (aka SPL or Sound Pressure Level) an average ear can perceive is 1dB. Tailgater features a simple boxy design. The enclosure is made of MDF and has reinforcements along the edges. The corners are additionally reinforced. The whole speaker looks durable and very solid. There are two handles on the left and right ends so you can carry it around. Considering the size, adding a pair of wheels and a telescoping handle would’ve been a better idea. During the past few months, we’ve come across quite a few large and powerful Bluetooth speakers . For the purposes of this article, we gathered them all, tested them, compared them, and even did some measuring on our own (although we don’t really have the best conditions to perform the measuring and get perfectly accurate results). Finally, we came up with the following selection of 12 loudest Bluetooth speakers in 2023. 12 Loudest Bluetooth Speakers in 2023 The PartyBox 300 comes with only two accessories: a regular-looking power cable of typical length for a large speaker, and a heavy-duty orange car charger cable that is quite long. Other than perhaps some audio cables, what's missing? Wheels. The speaker would be easier to maneuver that way, though they would need to be removable or retractable, so it's understandable why they weren't included. An XLR mic input would also be nice, so that higher-quality mics can be used. Performance The LED light show is fun, and probably is great in a party scenario. Tapping the button lights up LED strips that encircle the drivers. There are mini strobe-like lights that flash on and off, as well, and you can cycle through various modes that deliver different colorful patterns. They flash, blink, and sometimes seem to follow the rhythm of the music. Pressing the button enough times turns the lights off. Conclusions

Key specs

NEW SOUNDBOKS is not as bassy as the previous SB2. If all you are looking for is overwhelming bass, the SOUNNDBOKS 2 is a viable alternative. And it’s also cheaper than the NEW SOUNDBOKS. All the inputs and controls are located on the left panel. You have two combo XLR/6.35mm inputs that allow you to connect the guitar or mic. For each of these two inputs, there’s a guitar/mic selector, dedicated volume dial, as well as reverb, bass, and treble dials. The speaker also has an AUX input, Bluetooth button, and AUX output for daisy-chaining two speakers together. The speaker also features so-called ToneMatch technology. ToneMatch is responsible for the automatic sound equalizations and allows you to have the best possible sound output, regardless of the speaker orientation and your surroundings. The speaker features Bluetooth 5.0 for connecting Bluetooth devices and music streaming. The connection is perfectly stable within the 100ft range. The unit doesn’t use Bluetooth for wireless daisy-chaining. Instead, it uses a proprietary SKAA connection. This connection allows you to pair up to 5 NEW SOUNDBOKS speakers together. Battery life is crucial, particularly if you want to use the speaker for extended periods. While smaller speakers often have shorter battery lives, larger ones can last up to 24 hours. Expect an average battery life of around four to ten hours. 2. Audio Quality

The sound quality of the SoundLink Flex is excellent, thanks to Bose’s PositionIQ Technology which adjusts the EQ based on the speaker’s orientation. The built-in battery delivers 35-40 hours of continuous playtime. The recharge takes less than 6 hours. The Ultimate Ears Hyperboom is the biggest and most impressive Bluetooth speaker in Ultimate Ears’’ ‘Boom’ range. It’s a cross-compatible, user-friendly, and portable speaker with many useful features that make it perfect for parties, gatherings, and daily use. Its cutting-edge adaptive equalization technology and great sound quality make it a popular choice for music lovers. Things we like

Fact 4 : 120dB of noise is, by many authors and scientists, considered the threshold of pain, and any sound louder than 120dB can cause immediate damage. So, 120dB can be considered dangerously loud. Having in mind Fact 2, 120dB noise is 32x louder than a normal speech (approx. 70dB). 12 Loudest Bluetooth Speakers – Comparison Table Loudest Bluetooth Speakers Choose a speaker with Bluetooth 2.1 or higher for optimal audio quality.
