What customers like about Huawei Sound Joy 2

  • Excellent, long-lasting battery life (up to 26 hours of playback)
  • Powerful bass and rich sound quality co-engineered with Devialet
  • Rugged build quality with a premium, durable woven fabric texture
  • IP67 water, splash, and dust resistance, ideal for outdoor use
  • Fast 40W SuperCharge capability over USB-C
  • Easy stereo pairing system by shaking or pressing a dedicated button
  • Visually appealing multi-coloured LED ring light indicator

What customers don't like about Huawei Sound Joy 2

  • Lacks an analogue 3.5mm audio jack or micro SD card slot
  • Finicky companion app connectivity, especially for iOS/Apple devices
  • Limited audio customisation features and lack of a full custom EQ
  • Narrow soundstage projection that drops off when listening from the side
  • Deep bass can sometimes overshadow the mid-range and vocals on heavier tracks
  • LED ring light effects do not actively sync to the rhythm of the music

Verdict

The Huawei Sound Joy 2 is a compact, cylindrical portable speaker measuring 202 x 73 mm and weighing approximately 700 grams, equipped with an IP67 dust and water resistance rating. It features a quad-unit acoustic system consisting of a 20W racetrack-shaped full-range speaker, a 10W tweeter, and two passive radiators that deliver a maximum volume of 85 dBA and frequencies down to 50 Hz. Main advantages include a massive 8,800 mAh battery that provides up to 26 hours of continuous Bluetooth 5.2 playback, 40W Type-C fast charging that gives one hour of playtime from a 10-minute charge, a pulsing LED light ring, and smart features like NFC tap-to-transfer and "Shake for Stereo" pairing. However, it lacks a 3.5mm auxiliary audio jack for wired connections, distorts at maximum volume levels, and has limited AI Life companion app functionality and automated pairing support for iOS and non-Huawei devices.
