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

What customers like about Libratone One Style

  • Elegant and minimalist design with a high-quality fabric finish
  • Effective 360-degree 'FullRoom' sound dispersion when upright
  • Good, reliable battery life lasting up to 12 hours
  • Convenient built-in soft finger-loop handle for easy carrying
  • IPX4 splashproof rating making it durable against light rain and outdoor spills
  • Intuitive touch-sensitive control wheel for volume and playback adjustments
  • Capable companion app with internet radio access and easy multi-speaker pairing

What customers don't like about Libratone One Style

  • Sound profile plays it safe, lacking deep bass punch and dynamic excitement
  • Mid-range frequencies can occasionally sound slightly thin or lifeless
  • Touch interface can feel overly sensitive or fiddly to operate for some users
  • Losing 360-degree sound projection when laid flat down on its side
  • No built-in equalizer controls in the app to manually tweak the audio signature
  • Somewhat heavy and bulky compared to similarly priced ultra-portable rivals

Verdict

The **Libratone One Style** is a flat, square-shaped portable Bluetooth 4.1 speaker configured with one **3-inch woofer**, one **1-inch tweeter**, and **two passive drivers** wrapped in a Scandinavian soft mesh fabric and rubber frame. Key performance traits include **360-degree sound** projection, a **12-hour battery life** via micro-USB charging, a built-in noise-canceling speakerphone, and an **IPX4 splash-proof** rating. Its principal strengths lie in its clear midtones, sleek design, a touch-sensitive control wheel, and Bluetooth +1 pairing via a mobile app to link multiple units. On the downside, the speaker lacks deep sub-bass performance, sounds slightly flat or muddy with rock or pop genres, and has a thin vertical footprint that topples over easily when standing upright.
