Aiwa Exos-9 Portable Bluetooth Speaker

Product Information

So among other things, decibels are used to measure voltage and power in your gear – the intensity of a sound or the power level of an electrical signal, by comparing it with a given level on a logarithmic scale – which we talked about earlier in this article. Using something like output wattage as a metric is flawed because it doesn’t take into account the efficiency of the speaker design. We also wanted to make sure we don’t recommend speakers that we can’t truly stand by, so we excluded products that offer poor quality or specify volume measurements that aren’t supported by the actual performance.

Aiwa Exos-9 is a nice-looking and quite large Bluetooth speaker. It’s portable and you can use it outdoors but be aware that it’s not rugged or waterproof. Since then, I have become much more careful around radios, boomboxes, and other audio devices (at least, I like to think so) but I have never lost the passion for audio equipment. Throughout 20 years of my professional career, I’ve been working for various audio equipment manufacturers and even started building speakers on my own in my little workshop.We noticed that a lot of online lists with the loudest Bluetooth speakers available were simply not correct. We approached this article with measurements in mind; we wanted to build a list of truly the loudest Bluetooth speakers available on the consumer market. We looked at how these speakers performed in terms of decibel measurements.

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. 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? You can choose the double stereo mode (LR + LR) where each speaker reproduces the same sound. Alternatively, choose the separated-stereo mode (one speaker acts as the left (L) and the other as the right (R).

Big sound for those who need the extra volume

The Soundboks Go is a rugged speaker, and the primary plastic shell feels extremely durable. In terms of weather-proofing, it offers IP65 protection, which is going to be able to keep you safe from dust and most typical splash or rain damage. You’ll also find a removable battery in the Soundboks Go, which makes the Go even more appealing as this allows for easy replacement should the battery give problems or simply deteriorate with time. The Go also provides 40 hours of battery at mid-volume, 10 hours at full volume, 3.5 hours full recharge, about double that of the Gen 3. Sound Quality Whichever way, two speakers linked together ramps up the stereo sound massively. Make sure you’re not too close to the neighbors, or you could receive complaints and a visit from the local authorities. The sound quality of the Soundboks Go is honestly what we had expected, given our experience with the Soundboks 3. While the Go can’t quite match the same benchmarks, it does bring the same full sound that we come to expect from a Soundboks product with tons of bass and little in the way of distortion, given the volume levels. Deepblue3 features digital optical input while there is no digital input on the Exos-9. Also, the Bluetooth range is slightly larger on deepblue3.

So, if you’re not into nostalgia and prefer the lean modern look, you may not want to read any more of this review.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? Bose SoundTouch 30 and Exos-9 have similar design and size (but SoundTouch 30 is much heavier). They both support Bluetooth wireless streaming and that’s about it when it comes to similarities. The PartyBox 1000 comes with more features than you’ll find on any other portable party speaker on the market. These include wireless Bluetooth streaming, a full LED light show, and microphone and instrument inputs for your karaoke parties.
