Amkette Boomer FX Pro Bluetooth Speaker with 30W Rich Sound, Dedicated Bass Boost Mode, 7 Hours Playback, Splash Proof, BT, AUX, USB, SD Card, Type-C Charging (Black)

Sound quality- Do see that this is a Bluetooth speaker, not a boombox. If you are expecting a boombox, this product will disappoint you. A Boombox is optimised at the bass and treble region. They are good for loud music. Low volume sound or dialogues dont sound good in a boombox. Whereas a Bluetooth speaker is designed to produce balanced sound at lower volume. This is good if you are not using for partying or annoying your neighbours. Compared to my previous zoook armor xl. Build quality- very good build quality at this price point. The speaker weighs 634g with wider base than height. So this speaker is stable and does not jump at high volumes. Also the bass vent is at the bottom. So you dont have to always place the speaker by the wall to get a good sound. Sound features- probably running on JL6901A chipset. Amkette has the confidence to mention the SNR to be greater than 86dB. Good quality 53mm, 4 ohms, 10 watts drivers are used. This has got a feature that even the company is unaware of! You can connect it as USB DAC into PC or Android if you connect it at the pendrive port with a male-to-male USB cable. The speaker auto installs as JeiLi AC46 USB DAC with 16bit 48Khz specification. Switch on the device and connect the cable. The speaker will say "PC mode". Battery- runs for 20 hrs if you are use it at the default volume. Has two 2200mAh Li-ion 18650 cells inside which should give an average of 4000mAh over its lifetime. The speaker can be used as a power bank but better to not use it that way. The only one major drawback is that it has a slider switch for ON/OFF. The switch may create problem after a year.

This review is for Boomer Fx+. This is an upgrade from the Boomer Fx. Writing this review after using this for more than 2 months now. This is a good speaker for the price range, however there is a lot of scope for improvement. The build is decent and feels good to hold. Not too heavy and easy to carry in one hand. A scratch resistance body would give it a premium feel. At full volume it is good enough for a large room. There is almost no distortion in the highs and lows at full volume. This would also depend on your music source. The battery life varies on the mode. Using Bluetooth at default speaker volume (approx 45-50% vol) I have got an average of a 16 hours per charge. However when using the USB port I have got around 9- 10 hours with similar volume settings. The buttons on the top work well. Mode is used to change source and to disconnect/connect multiple speakers. The +/- buttons changes tracks / increases volume. The speaker phone function is not really good. At times that caller cannot hear you however it is usable. The on/off switch, LED indicator, aux port, charging port, USB and SD card ports are located at the back of the speaker. It would have helped a lot if the On/Off switch AND the LED indicator was on the top of the speaker instead of the back. As the speaker is tapering backwards, the LED indicator cannot be seen at eye level. One has to lift the speaker to check the mode/ battery full indicator. (Turns blue when full and red when charging). There is no battery indicator/level on Bluetooth when it's connected to a phone/laptop. So it's difficult to exactly know the battery level. At approx 10% battery, the speaker gives a beep every 10 seconds. This is an improvement over the Boomer Fx from the "battery low" verbal indicator,however it's not useful as one cannot actually use the device as its disturbing. This should be reduced to 5% or lower so that one can actually use 95% of the battery. Charging time is approx 5 hrs. I have not used the power bank function and cannot comment. The USB drive source accepts only drives of 64GB and below. This is not mentioned anywhere in the specifications or manual. Anything higher will not be recognized by the speaker. My guess is the same is the capacity with SD cards. I have not used SD card as a source as yet. Bluetooth connection range is not too good. Huge scope for improvement here. I have also not used the built in FM function as yet. In the box, Aux cable, charging cable, manual and speaker. You also can register the speaker on the Amkeet website for warranty/guarantee purpose. Overall it's a good speaker for the under 2k price range.

I have been building my home office setup recently, since i was tired of working on my bed sofa etc. This speaker completes my setup. I am extremely pleased with the sound quality. The bass is amazing it makes my table vibrate a little at full volumes which is too loud for close proximity listening. It can easily fill a big room 20feet by 20 feet with heavy sound. I have it in my 1200 sqft house living room and at full volume i hear it in full house. I don't feel any sort of distortion at high volume, the bass is very good at this prices point giving a heaviness to sound. I can hear booming tones in songs well.
