Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about V Moda Remix

  • Integrated high-quality headphone amplifier (VAMP mode)
  • Durable, premium all-metal or vegan leather build quality
  • Punchy, vibrant bass and crisp treble performance
  • Highly stable and quick Bluetooth connection
  • Customisable exterior with 3D-printed parts
  • Future-proof USB-C charging port
  • Ability to daisy-chain multiple units for a larger soundstage

What customers don't like about V Moda Remix

  • High, premium price tag relative to its size class
  • Audio distortion at maximum volumes, particularly with heavy bass
  • Heavy and bulky for a highly portable speaker
  • Not waterproof or dustproof for outdoor/poolside use
  • Average battery life (around 10 hours) that drops significantly at high volumes
  • Annoying, loud low-battery warning alerts
  • Midrange frequencies can feel recessed or distant on certain tracks

Verdict

The V-Moda Remix is a highly customizable, portable Bluetooth speaker featuring dual 9-watt glass-fiber drivers and a passive bass reflector that deliver a comprehensive frequency response of 20Hz to 20,000Hz. This 8.1-inch wide speaker stands out with its integrated VAMP headphone amplifier (offering 83mW x 2 output), a 3,400mAh battery providing up to 10 hours of playback, a built-in omnidirectional microphone, and a modern USB-C charging interface. Its main pros include an exceptionally punchy, room-filling sound with strong sub-bass response, future-proof USB-C connectivity, daisy-chaining capability, and unique 3D-printable custom housing options. However, its primary cons include noticeable audio distortion at maximum volume levels, the lack of an included wall charger, and a battery life that falls short of some similarly priced portable competitors.
