Verdict

The Onkyo X6 is a premium portable wireless stereo speaker featuring a sleek, extruded aluminum enclosure that encases two 44.5 mm (1.75-inch) high-excursion full-range drivers and twin side-firing, force-canceling passive radiators. It delivers 12W RMS total output power across a 40Hz to 20kHz frequency response range with an optimal total harmonic distortion (THD) of 1%. Main characteristics and pros include multi-device pairing for up to four devices simultaneously, reliable Bluetooth wireless connectivity with a 10-meter range, a built-in microphone for hands-free calls, a 3.5mm AUX-in port, and a built-in 2200mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery providing up to 8 hours of playback alongside a convenient USB charge-out power bank feature to juice up external devices. However, noticeable cons include a lack of modern water and dust resistance certifications, a somewhat heavy and bulky design for ultra-portable use, and bass response that lacks punch and can sound sophisticated but underpowered at higher volume levels.

  • Lacks any official water-resistance or weatherproof rating
  • Relies on a proprietary power connection and charging brick instead of a universal USB cable
  • Heavy chassis design makes it slightly less portable than similarly sized competitors
  • Soundstage lacks the grand scale and audio subtlety of top-tier rivals in the same price range
