Verdict

The Soundboks Go is a rugged, highly portable Bluetooth 5.0 party speaker equipped with dual 72W continuous Class D amplifiers driving a 10-inch woofer and a 1-inch silk dome tweeter, yielding a frequency range of 40Hz to 20kHz. Its main advantages include an exceptionally high maximum output of up to 121 dB, a durable IP65 dust- and splash-proof unibody case, and a swappable 7.8Ah LiFePO4 battery providing up to 40 hours of runtime at mid-volume. However, key drawbacks include its relatively heavy 20-pound weight, premium pricing, narrow directional soundstage, and a lack of professional XLR or 1/4-inch inputs for microphones and instruments.
