DOSS SoundBox XL 32W Bluetooth Speaker for House 2.1 Channel with Subwoofer

It never was that easy to give 6 of 5 possible stars... :-)The speaker arrived in a small plain box. I unpacked the speaker and the charger and charged the battery, which took only 2 hours.I was very curious about the sound - the only service I am interested in a bluetooth speaker (BS).I had tested a lot of speakers between 90 and 150 euro (the prices are comparable to the ones in Dollars in the US). Noone really satisfied me. Some had absolutely no bass. But they built a realistic stage, I had the impression, the music came from beside the speakers. But the bass was missing and voices somehow

I have tested out and heard quite a few Bluetooth Speakers and this is one of the better ones and probably the best for the money, although it's hard to say for certain as there is so much out there that isn't mainstream or on Amazon that is high quality but as far as what is on Amazon you really can't go wrong with this, I have some high end in ear monitors for when I want the absolute best sound quality but for the rest of the time a Bluetooth speaker is fine, that's not to say this doesn't put out high quality sound, it's just not as high up on the scale, I also have some high powered books

UPDATE 11/1/20:I forget exactly when we bought this, but it's been at least 2-3 years. It's holding up well. For the amount of volume it can produce, the battery life is decent, charging is very fast. I *love* that it doesn't have fancy whizbang colored lights on the front, just tiny little LED indicator lights on top. Pairs super fast on Windows 10 compared to Windows 7. Sound quality is bass-heavy, so if that's your thing, then it's good, but of course any sort of EQ or pass filter could remedy that if you want to. I haven't found the need to reduce the bass while watching action movies.In m

The DOSS Soundbox XL seem to be plagued either by bad design issues or a high rate of poor manufacturing quality. I recently got one, and took off the cover to remove that speaker grill liner some reviewers said causes a rattle and saw the left tweeter cone was mashed in. I returned it to Amazon only to get a second one with an annoying bass vibration, one recent Amazon reviewer described as a "farting sound" with music with a strong bass line. It actually happens at 54 hz when you use a tone generator and comes from air blowing out the jack/slot holes in the back.I really liked the sound, but

The 1st speaker I got was defective i.e. it sounded terrible due to a damaged sub and rh speaker.I contacted the manufacturer and sent a couple of photos and video setting out the problem - and asked for a replacement to be sent directly as shipping the defective unit back to Amazon from New Zealand would have been very expensive..They agreed straightaway and 8 days later I had the replacement unit.I am stoked with the replacement speaker - it has a very clean sound - with a great amount of bass - esp for its size. The soundstage is decent as well and it has more than met my expectations - and

After reading/viewing many Amazon and YT reviews I decided to take the plunge and ordered my first Soundbox XL. I say my first for a real and specific reason I will cover futher into this review. After receiving, unpacking, charging and seamlessly pairing my first Soundbox XL I excitedly brought up some music on my Android device.....And I was met with the quality sound I expected after my pre purchase research. While not audiophile quality, the Doss Soundbox XL does deliver high quality sound. The bass was deep, the mids were musical and the highs were pleasant and spacious. The Soundbox XL r

I don't have any experience with owning bluetooth speakers, but I have demoed the stuff at best buy. I've owned a lot of hifi though: Magnepan, Stax, Hifiman, and lots more, more than I can remember.I became aware of this speaker by stumbling upon oluv's review while looking for a portable speaker. That dude seems to have heard hundreds of portable speakers, and he measures frequency response and makes binaural recordings. Thanks oluv.The speaker sounds great with a neutral frequency response. The bass is the most impressive part: plays deep, low distortion, and tuned relatively flat. I didn't

Great Speaker! I hooked it up to my Echo Dot in our family room. Fantastic sound and volume. Best low bass I've heard in this size and price speaker. I didn't hear any rattling at high volumes like some reported. Bluetooth range is good. I've taken outside to patio without any breakup. The range I tested was only about 20 feet with a wall and sliding glass doors between source and speaker. I play Amazon Music Unlimited via Echo Dot - sounds great!Cons: When I connect with Bluetooth, the speaker disconnects after a period of time of no use. I ask Alexa a question and get no answer and find that
