Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about G Project B Boom

  • Excellent value for money at an affordable price point
  • Powerful sound output with deep, prominent bass performance
  • Rugged and durable build quality suitable for outdoor use
  • Convenient integrated handle makes it easy to carry
  • Built-in USB port allows users to charge smartphones
  • Includes basic equalizer presets for sound customization

What customers don't like about G Project B Boom

  • Short battery life lasting only about 4 to 7 hours per charge
  • Bulky and relatively heavy compared to other portable speakers
  • Audio suffers from compression and slight distortion at maximum volume
  • Uses an older Bluetooth standard and a proprietary charging brick instead of USB-C
  • The rubberized button pad easily attracts dust and debris

Verdict

The G-Project G-Boom is a rugged, portable Bluetooth boombox featuring a 2.2 speaker configuration with two 3-inch full-range drivers (2 x 10W output power), two 1-inch dome tweeters, and dual rear-firing bass ports, all enclosed in a heavy-duty housing with an integrated carrying handle. Main pros include its highly affordable pricing under $100, a protective rubber base capable of absorbing drops, built-in EQ presets with Maxx Audio digital sound processing that delivers exceptionally deep bass without distortion, a 3.5mm AUX-in port, and a USB power bank port to charge external devices. However, prominent cons include a relatively short battery life of only 5 to 6 hours on a full charge, a heavy 5-pound chassis that limits long-distance portability, an older Bluetooth 2.1 protocol on earlier models, and occasional low-end sound distortion or a lack of treble clarity at maximum volume.
