Verdict

The BenQ treVolo 2 is a portable wireless Bluetooth 4.2 speaker utilizing premium dual electrostatic folding panels, a quad-amplified design with dual woofers, and twin passive radiators to provide a 60 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response. Main characteristics include its 20-watt power output, support for high-quality aptX audio, built-in USB DAC, three DSP sound modes (Pure, Warm, Vivid), Duo Mode for stereo/party pairing, and up to 12 hours of rechargeable battery life. Pros include its exceptionally clean, low-distortion midrange and treble clarity, premium audiophile-grade engineering, and versatile connectivity options including a 3.5mm line-out that turns it into a wireless receiver. However, cons include a noticeable rolling off of frequencies below 90 Hz that limits impact for bass-heavy music, latency when utilizing the USB DAC, and a heavy, handle-less design that makes it less ideal for rugged transport.

  • Lower maximum volume output compared to similarly sized or priced competitors
  • Highly directional treble that requires precise speaker placement and listening height for the best sound
  • Lack of 'life-proofing' features like an IP rating for water or dust resistance, limiting outdoor use
  • Noticeable latency or audio delay when using the internal USB DAC connection
  • Relatively heavy and lacks a built-in handle, making it less convenient to transport than other portable speakers
