Verdict

The boAt Stone 170 is a compact, lightweight portable Bluetooth speaker that delivers a 5W RMS audio output and features a 44mm dynamic driver. It is powered by an 1800mAh lithium battery that offers up to 6 hours of continuous playback time on a 2.5-hour full charge. Key advantages include an IPX6 water-resistance rating for splash protection, an integrated microphone for hands-free calling, diverse connectivity options via Bluetooth, AUX, and a micro SD/TF card slot, and True Wireless Stereo (TWS) functionality to pair two units together. However, some limitations include an older micro-USB charging port rather than USB-C, buttons that can feel stiff or hard to press, and the absence of a built-in FM radio.
