Verdict

The Soundmatters FoxL Dash7 is an ultra-portable, pocket-sized Hi-Fi Bluetooth speaker featuring a remarkably slim 0.75-inch height and a light weight of just 7.1 ounces. It utilizes fifth-generation, pancake-flat neodymium "Twoofers" alongside a patented "BassBattery" that cleverly doubles as a passive acoustic bass radiator to provide up to 12 hours of wireless playback. Key advantages include its highly versatile design that allows it to lay flat for omnidirectional audio or prop up using an included magnetic folding case/stand, a built-in noise-canceling microphone for speakerphone functionality, a dedicated 3.5mm subwoofer output for expanded low-end connectivity, and surprisingly large sound for its compact size. However, main drawbacks include its high original retail price, a tendency for the audio to distort or strain at high volumes with complex or bass-heavy music tracks, and tiny, flush physical buttons that can be difficult to operate.

Soundmatters FoxL Dash 7 Bluetooth speaker review - CNET

The CNET review of the $219 Soundmatters FoxL Dash 7 highlights a highly portable, slim Bluetooth speaker that delivers impressive volume and surprisingly great sound via fifth-generation "twoofer" drivers. While praised for its travel-friendly design, 50-foot-plus Bluetooth range, and useful magnetic stand, the speaker faces significant, severe physical limitations, resulting in audio distortion, intense vibration at high volumes, and a high retail price compared to competitors.

Soundmatters foxL DASH7 review - Audiophile Style

The Soundmatters foxL DASH7, reviewed on Audiophile Style, is a 7.1-ounce, pocket-sized wireless speaker offering extreme portability, a sleek design for crowded desks, and high-quality sound for its size. Key benefits include versatile charging options, such as a 5V/2A wall charger that doubles the power output, and a comprehensive accessory package. While designed for maximum portability, its performance limitations include reduced battery life in extreme sub-zero conditions and, naturally, an inability to match the scale of significantly larger, high-end, non-portable audio systems.

Brent Butterworth’s review in Sound & Vision describes the Soundmatters foxL Dash 7 as a highly convenient, ultra-thin Bluetooth speaker that offers superior wide-angle audio and impressively loud, clean sound for its size, making it ideal for tablet use.
