Verdict

The Louis Vuitton Horizon Light Up is a premium portable speaker featuring a UFO-inspired design crafted from leather, stainless steel, and tempered glass. Weighing 1kg with an 18cm diameter, it incorporates a 3-inch woofer and two 0.75-inch tweeters powered by 60W of total amplification to deliver 360-degree omnidirectional sound when placed on its charging dock, or unidirectional sound when resting on its side. Its main pros include versatile Bluetooth 5.1 and Apple AirPlay 2 connectivity, up to 15 hours of battery life, three integrated microphones for calls, and a dynamic 35-LED light show that synchronizes to the music beat via the LV Connect app. However, its significant cons include a staggering luxury price tag of around $3,000 to $5,000, audio performance that does not outperform much cheaper conventional speakers, a long turn-on time, and lack of specialized ruggedness features like a formal IP water-resistance rating.

  • Slower charging times, taking up to two hours to fully juice up.
  • Lack of an auxiliary 3.5mm input jack, restricting the speaker entirely to wireless operation.
