DOSS SoundBox Pro Wireless Bluetooth Speaker - Review

DOSS SoundBox Pro Wireless Bluetooth Speaker

For music freaks, especially those who love to listen to their favorite songs in group, in-built speaker system of their Smartphones may seem inefficient, as it really is in the long run. There may be several reasons like its poor quality of sound or limited range. Of course, there are several kinds of alternatives you can depend upon when you’re fed up with the system and Bluetooth speakers are one of the best options you can go for! These speakers, as you know, offer extended sound quality, reach as well as the power of portability, accompanied by Bluetooth-based connectivity. In this post, we are going to review Doss Wireless Bluetooth speaker you’d find worth-buying in the end.

The DOSS SoundBox Pro is one of the most successful attempts to combine portability, versatility, and high quality sound. Whether you need a speaker for a couple hours or most of the day, the SoundBox Pro is ready to last with both wired and wireless connections. Inside the Pro, you’ll find audio equipment that’s quite powerful relative to its price point. You’ll also find an incredibly energy efficient design that allows the SoundBox Pro to fill a large room with rich sound, all without packing on a gross excess of battery weight in the process.

The Soundbox Pro doesn’t look or feel cheap and plastic like a lot of the other speakers in its price range. It has a rubberized texture that covers the entire enclosure that makes it feel as tough and rugged.

Design & Build Quality

The design on this speaker is pretty bonkers in a good way. The DOSS Soundbox Pro has a smooth matte finish / rubberized design with a bright led light. The led light is a great touch for when you're playing music. 

On the top end of the speaker, you can find seven control buttons that have been placed on sunken, brushed metal. Among them you’ll find the power button, skip button, play button, pause button, volume button and the added feature which allows you to pair 2 DOSS Soundbox speakers together for a true stereo experience.

At the rear, you find the passive bass radiator and a water resistant flap which houses a Micro USB port for charging the speaker, a 3.5mm jack for physical connections and a micro SD slot.

Aesthetically, the Pro uses a fairly minimalistic and unassuming design that will fit in just about anywhere. The matte black coloring looks sleek and modern, and won’t cause glare issues with the sun when you take your speakers outdoors. That minimalistic design also adds to the intuitive nature of the device.

Along the front end of the speaker, you’ll find a protective aluminum grill designed to protect the internal drivers. The body itself is composed of a scratch-resistant polymer, in other words, plastic. But even though it’s plastic, it’s reasonably sturdy and durable.

The SoundBox Pro lives up to its name. Its 7.7 x 2.9 x 3 inch build rides the line between being large enough to provide a loud and rich sound, and small enough to remain lightweight and portable. The speaker itself weighs roughly 1.39 pounds, which shouldn’t have you straining to lift it between uses. The long and thin design is both easy to carry, and easy to find a place to set it up.

Hardware & Accessories 

The SoundBox Pro is packed with larger components, best equipped to filling larger rooms with sound. The primary sound system consists of a small subwoofer a 20 watt primary driver. The driver has particularly strong mid-tones that make it optimal for both listening to music and watching movies. Although the subwoofer is relatively small, the SoundBox Pro’s modestly large body helps the subwoofer create strong bass response. Larger builds are a boon to bass, and it’s about as large as you want a portable speaker to be.

There are also two radiator speakers, which are what allow it to be much louder than you might expect based on its wattage. Radiators speakers are a sort of secondary amplifying device. They work by responding to the air pressure created with the electricity-based speakers. By mimicking the motion of its drivers and subwoofer, radiator speakers can produce sound frequencies like a speaker. But because it’s technically not an ordinary speaker, don’t have to power additional drivers, or even add much extra weight to the device. In other words, it’s a design that makes optimal use of battery power to create a louder speaker system without having to power that sound.

To ensure you can get started listening to music right away, it does include a handful of accessories. Among they you’ll find an charging cable, user manual, and an AUX-in cable. The AUX-in cable is a particularly convenient inclusion because it allows you to set the speaker to function as a wired unit. Anywhere you don’t need to use the battery, or otherwise don’t want to drain your power, being able to switch to the cable makes this speaker remarkably versatile.

LED Lights

The Mode button allows you to cycle through the 6 solid LED colours on the front facing speakers. The extra bass button can also be used to change the pattern of the LED lights. Customization is limited but you’re able to make the lights stay one solid colour, pulsate to the beat of the music, and a party mode which will automatically cycle through the different LED colours or you can just turn the lights off completely.

Connectivity 

The Soundbox uses Bluetooth 4.2 and it works really well. You will be able to get over 80 feet of wireless range when using the latest smartphones.

When on a call, the speakerphone on the SoundBox is only good at very close distances from around 2-3 feet away. Once you go beyond that you will start to get echo’s and it will continue to get worse the further away you go.

Audio Modes

You can use the SoundBox Pro in three independent audio modes, but the simplest way to make a connection is through Bluetooth. It’s Bluetooth 4.2 compatible, allowing you to connect it to essentially any modern tablet or smartphone.

If you don’t want to use Bluetooth, you can take advantage of the included AUX-in cable to make a wired connection. For playing music directly from an MP3 player or television etc., that’s a great solution because it can prevent you from burning through your battery power for extended listening.

Your third option is to play music directly from a TF card. Although most people don’t keep music in memory cards these days, the TF card port is a nice bonus that only continues to add to the versatility of the device. Even if you’re not using the Bluetooth connection at all, you can still enjoy the freedom of a wireless and highly portable speaker.

Battery Life

The SoundBox Pro is built with a reasonably powerful 2200mAh lithium-ion battery. Played at 50% volume, you can expect an average of ten hours of continuous play from the speaker. But as you increase the volume much beyond half, you’ll start to see rapid drops in the battery’s lifespan.

Played near full volume, you may be able to expect as little as five or six hours of use. For an indoor event, that’s no concern because you can keep the speaker when it’s plugged in. Although the SoundBox Pro versatile enough to be taken along on a road trip.

It has a battery indicator light, which can help alert you when the battery is low and you need to recharge.

Sound Quality

The soundbox Pro is considered a bassy speaker and it has much deeper bass and much richer bass. The mids sound clear and alive so vocals stand out and instruments are well pronounced. The highs are very clear and it doesn’t get overpowered by the bass.

Verdict

Relative to its size, the SoundBox Pro has fairly impressive sound. The subwoofer provides a full bass that remains clear at both low and high volumes, and the 20W primary drivers keep trebles sounding sharp. And combined with the additional radiator speakers, you get a surprisingly quantity and quality of sound. You won’t have a problem filling bigger rooms with sound, and you won’t hear the sound quality drop off considerably if you crank up the volume.

The SoundBox Pro is easy to use, makes use of reasonably high quality audio equipment, and has an array of playing modes that allow it to be incredibly versatile. Relative to its price point, it’s hard to find many other portable speakers that can even begin to compete with the SoundBox Pro.

If you want a affordable and portable offering, the DOSS SoundBox Pro Wireless Bluetooth Speaker ($ 44.99) is a good bet.
