It is awesome rechargeable and the portable speaker comes with a modern and stylish sleek design that makes it so attractive. Currently, this is the best speaker in this price range. You may be proud to own this awesome speaker.

I would like to give you more depth review of this product, here I will talk about Design, Audio Modes and connection, Charging and Power, Sound Quality and It’s Drawbacks.

Design :

This speaker comes with an extremely stripped-down design that compels us to think that using the speaker would be extremely intuitive and easy. Portability is one of the crucial factors of any speaker and thanks to awesome design that nailed it perfectly and makes it one of the highly portable speakers in the market.

Its dimension is at 11.8 x 2.6 x 5.2 inches that make it a good speaker for tables, counters and even in a small room. It is also easy to carry and move it only weigh 3.46 pounds.

There is tons of button located and the best thing about these buttons is all clearly labeled so there will be no confusion as to what each button is designed to do.

It is designed horizontally but it can also be used as vertically if you want.

This speaker is mainly used for groups or family party but you can also play privately if you want, You will find aux input located that allows you to plug and go solo with your headphones.

In first sight, you may feel look like it’s built like a tank. The front of the speaker is made by aluminum dotted grill to protect the drivers and subwoofer and the backside of this speaker is extremely clean and very basic you will find nothing else except a DC 12V 2.5A port for charging or basic operating and next to that you will an AUX-IN port that allows you to connect your headphones as well as a TF Card slot. Its overall finish is Glossy and it features scratch-resistant plastic.

Sound Quality :

Sound quality is one of the first things we see in any speaker and it’s a most essential feature. Coming to DOSS SoundBox XL, It’s sound quality is very impressive but still have some limitations. It’s speaker equipped with 10W x 2 drivers with a 12W subwoofer for some added bass. It produces some very good 360-degree stereo speaker quality in general and powerful enough for parties and small get-together.

You will find 2 passive radiator build in it that enhance sound quality made the trebles and mids punchy and sharp. It operates well beyond our expectations during music playback and you will definitely love this speaker.

It is only one unit So, sometimes it doesn’t give you surround sound feel but when you position it appropriately, It is enough to fill small or medium size rooms.

It comes with very respectable 12W subwoofer install in the center made for some thumping advertised as the “super bass” and we certainly agree with that.

It performs well with lighter music too as well as highs and mids are produced with great clarity. Even outdoors the sound didn’t feel like it was coming from a cheap set of speakers. It has a smoothness in a variety of music. For small families, this speaker easily doubles as a soundbar alternative.

Overall Sound Quality of DOSS SoundBox XL, is awesome and make it one of the best budget speaker in own budget.

Audio Mode and Connections :

This speaker versatility adds more value to it. It is a Bluetooth speaker and personally I like Bluetooth speakers because it is totally hand off once you set it up. Thanks to DOSS SoundBox XL that comes with 4.0 Bluetooth that up to date So, devices can easily pair up with it and the connection tends to be strong up to 84 feet away. If you are far away to this speaker you need not worry about the connection between your smartphone and this speaker will not disconnect even there is no stuttering effect and the HD sound quality remains consistent throughout.

If you don’t want to play music by Bluetooth connection then you can simply plug in a 3.5mm cable. Usually plugging is a better option than Bluetooth if you can.

It has also micro SD card slot that can be helpful if you want to play music through your SD Card, often I don’t see this in Bluetooth speakers but you will find this features in this.

Not only Bluetooth, Micro SD Card and Direct 3.5mm plugging you will get “TF card Slot” that works flawlessly as if using it with a laptop or camera.

So these were some Audio modes, select which you prefer.

 Charging and Power :

It’s equipped with a built-in rechargeable 2200mAh lithium-ion battery that can hold up to 10 hours if you will use it at %50 volume. If you will increase the volume then the battery will not start draining fast.

In indoor it will be good if you will plug it with wall and use it, that not only keep speaker charge up it also ensures it won’t die from playing at high volumes for long periods of time. If you are using indoor so you can plug and use it on high volume but if you are outdoor or traveling and if you will increase full volume then certainly you may hassle.

It has a built-in battery indicator light that’s okay but not very good. You can take idea or battery by those indicators once you will start using it and whenever your battery becomes low you can charge it. It charges pretty fast than other Bluetooth speakers in this range and holds up to 10 hours for normal 50% sounds, 10hours isn’t too good but still a fairly respectable battery life.

Drawbacks and Alternatives :

It is a very good product but still has some drawbacks and here I should discuss this.

I found there is no way to connect pair it to additional units. I have seen many speakers that can connect another speaker and deliver surround sound experience.

Its battery backup is normal that’s 10 hours if you pay back it on 50% volume that’s good but if you will increase volume it will not last long.

It has battery indicators but that’s just okay not so satisfying. It should be an LCD display or a symbol to display the remaining battery life. When it’s time to recharge it, the remaining light will blink red.

These are some drawbacks which we have found. If you want little more premium than it you can consider JBL Charge or JBL Extreme. This two-speaker comes with great designs and awesome features but cost you more than this.
