Verdict

The boAt Stone 1800 is a powerful boombox-style portable Bluetooth speaker that delivers an impressive 90W RMS output through its audio setup of dual 3-inch subwoofers and dual 1.5-inch tweeters. Key characteristics and pros include stable Bluetooth v5.3 connectivity, multiple input modes (AUX, USB, and TWS broadcast capability to chain over 100 speakers), dynamic RGB LED lighting, customizable equalizer modes, a built-in microphone for hands-free calling, and a rugged IPX6 splash-resistant build. However, notable cons include a relatively short battery life of up to 5 hours from its 5400 mAh battery, a lengthy 4-to-6-hour Type-C charging time, a hefty weight of approximately 2.8 kg, and minor audio distortion reported at maximum volume.

  • Heavy and bulky design, making it less convenient for frequent travel or portability
