Third-party reviews

What customers like about Sound2Go Colour Bass BT

  • Impressive sound volume relative to its compact size
  • Solid, punchy bass performance when placed on a proper surface
  • Highly portable, lightweight, and very easy to transport
  • Equipped with built-in stereo speakers
  • Supports multiple connectivity options including NFC quick pairing, AUX input, and a Micro-SD card slot
  • Comes with a convenient travel bag or pouch included
  • Straightforward and simple device controls
  • Good overall build quality and an attractive visual design

What customers don't like about Sound2Go Colour Bass BT

  • Actual battery life falls short of the advertised 10 hours, lasting only around 7 to 8 hours depending on volume levels
  • Sound quality lacks true high-fidelity depth and can lean toward a boomy or hollow 'boom-box' style tone
  • Relies on an older Bluetooth 3.0 standard, limiting wireless range and energy efficiency compared to newer versions

Verdict

The Sound2Go Colour Bass BT is a compact, 215-gram portable mono speaker featuring a 3-watt RMS output power, a frequency range of 80 Hz to 18,000 Hz, and a 95 dB signal-to-noise ratio. Its standout pros include a sturdy matte aluminum enclosure with splash-proof protection, an integrated hands-free microphone kit, a standalone playback capability via its built-in MicroSD card slot and USB port, and quick pairing options using Bluetooth 3.0 or NFC. However, notable cons include its outdated Bluetooth 3.0 protocol, a small 450 mAh battery capacity requiring up to 3 hours to charge, the lack of a visual battery level indicator, and a weaker bass output due to the absence of a passive radiator.
