Third-party reviews

What customers like about Doss Soundbox Pro Plus

  • Excellent value for money compared to premium brands
  • Clear sound quality with minimal distortion at high volumes
  • Powerful and deep bass response, especially when using the Extra Bass boost
  • Good build quality that feels sturdy and durable
  • Vibrant, beat-driven RGB light show that can be turned off if preferred
  • Seamless wireless stereo pairing (TWS) to connect two units
  • Reliable battery life providing long playback times at moderate volumes
  • Decent water resistance making it suitable for poolside or outdoor use

What customers don't like about Doss Soundbox Pro Plus

  • Charging times can be quite long
  • Lack of a precise battery percentage indicator (only a generic bar is provided)
  • Deeply recessed TF/microSD card slot that can make card removal difficult
  • Some users reported that the lights do not always sync perfectly with the beat of the music
  • The physical buttons and labels can be hard to read due to poor color contrast

Verdict

The DOSS SoundBox Pro+ is a portable Bluetooth speaker featuring dual full-range drivers and dual passive radiators that deliver a total audio output of 24W with clear stereo sound. Main performance characteristics include an explicit Extra Bass button for enhanced low frequencies, a beat-driven multi-color LED light show, an IPX6 waterproof rating for outdoor protection, and support for True Wireless Stereo pairing to link two units. Its major pros are its strong value-to-performance ratio, resilient water resistance, and an extended battery life providing up to 15 hours of playtime at 50% volume with the lights deactivated. However, notable cons include its reliance on an outdated micro-USB charging port rather than USB-C, a restricted Bluetooth 4.2 connectivity standard, and significantly reduced battery longevity when the power-hungry LED lights and bass boost modes remain active.
