Performance Result
AudioBox BBX 800 TWS is a powerful outdoor speaker thanks to 34W output power. More than enough to blast at large living room or tuition center. Even at outdoor party. Yes, you can change sound signature according to your taste and preferences. All thanks to treble and bass volume control. Overall, it has bright treble with clear and crisp sound. Bass is very little present there. Max bass volume with min treble volume control can’t even help much. In short, it’s a bright sound signature speaker that gives you clear vocal.
Wireless microphone range is as great as Bluetooth connection. Yes, no issue to link it up to 8m+ with obstacles. Range is great no doubt. However, audio and video sync is lag a little bit. Not so suitable for movie and games. Working great on karaoke, speech and music playback though. For FM reception, it is great. Clear and strong reception is what I get. Of course, it is depended on your area as well. Finally, built-in player works as expected.
Around 10 hours non-stop music playback it what I get. As usual, tests were done on average room sound level with LED lights turned on. And it takes less than 5 hours to fully charge. Colourful LED lights are great for party. You can turn it off with remote control if you don’t like it too. Oh, before I forget. The free wireless microphone is average at best. You need to put close to your mouth in order to get clear voice output.
