Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Jarre Technologies Aeroskull XS Plus

  • Unique, bold, and conversation-starting skull-shaped visual design.
  • Good sound clarity with a dedicated built-in subwoofer for better bass response than many speakers its size.
  • Quick and seamless Bluetooth pairing process, enhanced by NFC support.
  • Decent portability at roughly 500 grams with up to 10 hours of battery life.
  • Versatile connection options including a 3.5mm AUX line-in port.

What customers don't like about Jarre Technologies Aeroskull XS Plus

  • Glossy and chrome finishes easily collect visible fingerprints and smudges.
  • Relatively high retail price compared to standard portable speakers with similar audio specifications.
  • The physical volume buttons on the skull's teeth can feel slightly awkward or plastic-heavy to use.
  • Lacks modern tech standards such as newer Bluetooth versions (uses Bluetooth 4.2) and a USB Type-C port.
  • Audible system startup tones can sound somewhat cheesy or clash with the speaker's gothic aesthetic.

Verdict

The Jarre Technologies AeroSkull XS Plus is a compact, 500-gram portable 2.1-channel stereo speaker featuring an iconic, chrome-plated skull design. Driven by a built-in amplifier, it delivers a total RMS output power of 27W up to 60W peak power via two 15W front-facing drivers hidden in the sunglasses and a rear-facing 30W subwoofer. Key advantages include seamless wireless connectivity through Bluetooth 4.2 with aptX codec support and NFC quick-pairing, a 3.5mm line-in/line-out port, a carrying strap, and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery providing up to 10 hours of playback. However, its primary disadvantages include a lengthy battery charging time, a lack of modern water-resistance ratings, and potential audio distortion at maximum volume levels due to its compact form factor.
