Aiwa Exos-9 Portable Bluetooth Speaker

Product Information

We would have been happy if the media control directly at the loudspeaker was more extensive, as music titles cannot be skipped there. The only thing that helps here is to reach for the audio source or the optionally available remote control. Sound quality is probably the best thing about Aiwa Exos-9. If you are searching for a balanced and loud sound, and you want a battery-operated Bluetooth speaker, then Exos-9 is one of the best choices. A phenomenal sound that is well balanced with punchy bass, full mids, clean, crisp highs, and no clipping. When it comes to overall sound quality, the Aiwa Exos-9 stands out from some of the other loudest Bluetooth speaker options. The bass has a nice weight and definition, while the mids and highs deliver excellent clarity. This means the Exos-9 will sound great with most genres of music and is even great for talk radio or podcasts. Build Quality

Unlike the smaller models in this series, the PartyBox 1000 does not feature a built-in battery. This speaker requires a power outlet to work, something that’s important to consider when purchasing a speaker. Features The XB90 also comes with Sony’s Party Chain feature, which allows you to add up to 50 Sony-compatible speakers. You can also add just one other XB90 in stereo or mono for some extra power. Battery You can use the standard USB port to charge your phone which is convenient when you’re outside. And you can do this even while streaming music. But it’s a single use USB port only. You can’t use it as a digital-in port. 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.When we look at a speaker’s output sound or volume and compare it to other speakers, we look at the output SPL, meaning the Sound Pressure Level, which is mentioned as a dB rating. This is also sometimes referred to as speaker sensitivity. So, if you’re not into nostalgia and prefer the lean modern look, you may not want to read any more of this review. Playtime is rated at 9+ hours of typical continuous use. Unlike most manufacturers, Aiwa provides a figure to base that 9 hours use on, namely around 85 dBa SPL. Like all speakers though, playtime is almost halved if you use the speaker at full volume. Exos-9 features AUX input, USB powerbank port for charging, micro USB port (you can use it for firmware updates only), AC input, and ON/OFF switch.

Often loud Bluetooth speakers deliver a lot of noise but low quality. That’s not the case with the SOUNDBOKS. This speaker sounds great at low and high volumes. The bass is nice and punchy, perfect for urban and dance genres. Portability On the speaker hold and press the “PLAY” and the “LINK” button for 3 seconds or until you hear the unit beepWe almost placed the Go onto our list of lightweight contenders due to the size, but we do find that at 20 lbs, there is a demographic of people who would struggle to move the Soundboks between locations. Build Quality 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). Some competitor speakers link to each other to create a massive loud sound or an awesome stereo sound, but they do this with cables.
