Verdict

The boAt Rugby Plus is a portable wireless Bluetooth 5.0 speaker featuring a 16W RMS stereo sound output paired with a passive bass radiator to deliver a thumping low-end audio experience. Designed for durability and outdoor use, it boasts an IPX7 water and splash resistance rating, a tactile control layout, and a 2000 mAh battery that provides up to 7 hours of playback via high-speed USB Type-C charging. It offers versatile connectivity options, including Bluetooth, a micro SD/TF card slot, and an AUX-in port, alongside an inbuilt microphone for hands-free calls. On the downside, the highs can sound overly sharp and lack detailed richness at elevated volumes, while the bass tends to become slightly muddy when pushed to maximum capacity.
