The DOSS SoundBox is a small portable speaker that allows connection via Bluetooth or 3.5mm line-in jack (audio connector included). It incorporates a MicroSD slot (32GB max) which is a fantastic feature as it allows the unit to perform as a self-contained music player. The unit also functions as a hands-free speakerphone when paired with your cellular phone.The SoundBox has a classy design with a smooth, matte finish, top control panel that avoids fingerprints. The cabinet is wrapped with an attractive 360° aluminium grille. The SoundBox feels solid & well constucted. On top are touch controls for playback, mode, & call control. These illuminate white whenever the unit is powered on. The central ring is the volume control, which is controlled by sliding your finger around the ring clockwise to increase volume & counterclockwise to decrease volume. A tone sounds to indicate max volume. The volume control illumination doubles as the Mode indicator – Blue for Bluetooth, Green for MicroSD, & Red for line-in. On the rear of the cabinet are a power button, line-in jack, MicroSD slot, & a Micro-USB charging port (Micro-USB charging cable included). The charge indicator is a tiny, difficult to see, LED beneath the Micro-USB port that lights red while charging & changes to green when fully charged.Audio from the dual 6-watt speakers is very nice with surprising base for a unit of this size & no noticeable distortion even at max volume. Bluetooth pairing is simple & reconnection is fast. Range is better than average & I experienced no drop-outs or loss-of-connection issues. The speakerphone function works well, automatically pausing playback when accepting a call & providing clear audio from the caller. I am told it sounds good on the outgoing end as well. By default the unit automatically powers off after 15 minutes of inactivity, but you can contact DOSS Support for a firmware update to disable the auto-off for use with something like an Echo Dot where you want the speaker to remain powered on.I did two runtime tests with the battery lasting 10 hours during playback from a MicroSD card. Volume was on the high end during these tests.The SoundBox is a very capable portable speaker that looks good & sounds good. The inclusion of a MicroSD slot is a great benefit. It certainly comes in at a good price.* Buyers should note the control illumination is bright & always on.* For DOSS – It would be nice to use the volume ring as the charge indicator. Maybe flash red while charging & turn off when full? Would be much easier to see than the tiny LED on the back. Also an app where users could adjust things like auto-off, button illumination, shuffle play on/off, would be a handy addition.

Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Sounds crisp & good, new trend designed, looks attractive at any location, bass is ok but depend type of music listen to. can play the next mp3 song from my cellphone galaxy note 4 by touching the button on top of the speaker, cool, very convenience feature, battery life as advertised. Price range is about right. Nothing to complaint.

I have had this thing for about 4 years now and it is still working. I have used the crap out of this thing. Its has been dropped many times it has gotten rained on. Dropped in the mud. It has dents and scratches all over it. I put this thing through a lot. I went on a camping trip about a month ago and had this playing in the background for idle music for the whole day. I love this thing and for $30! It is VERY loud for how small it is. My friend had a bigger speaker but this one was still louder. It was very well made. The sound quality is awesome. This thing is just soooo good for how small and cheap it is. Now i cant say anything about any other Doss speakers but this one is a very good speaker.

Your browser does not support HTML5 video. I’ll update in a few weeks! But my initial reaction is WOW. For the price the sound is great. The base is not bad either. I can feel it on the floor from where i was standing.Only “con” when you reach max volume the music pauses for like 2-3 seconds, meanwhile the speakers will play a tune, to let you know max volume. Why cant the tune play over the music?

I use this primarily in my small 15 foot boat. I live in south florida. This little speaker puts out big sound for size and price. Even with a 50 HP motor directly behind me I can still hear it over my 4 stroke yamaha engine. On New Years eve we had an outside fire and I used this speaker. Set at 1/2 volume it was plenty loud enough. The sound is crisp and clear at almost all volumes except for full volume. It does get a bit distorted. As far as bass goes it’s about what you’d expect for a small speaker. It’s not very punchy. My favorite feature is the micro SD card slot. I can load up many of my favorite artists on a 16 GB micro sd card and I don’t have to drain my phone using bluetooth. I like to stream Pandora but in the boat there are times I lose the cell signal. The micro SD card solves this issue and actually sounds better than bluetooth.Finally, yesterday after a day on the water i mistakenly left the speaker in my boat while I hosed it down. I absolutely drenched this speaker. It wasn’t until this morning that I discovered the still soaking wet speaker in my boat. I shook the water out of it and dried the outside. I then went to work and left it to dry for 6 hours. I didn’t turn it on until I got home. I’m pleased to say it still sound great. I would highly recommend this item. If I had killed this item with my “bath” I would have purchased another one.

I’d purchased this “stereo” speaker primarily because of the available option to play my music via the SD card slot. Less hassle not having to use my phone. As luck would have it the unit that I received was defective in that one option. It would not play via the SD card. I e-mailed their tech support and received a reply within an hour. I tried several different size SD cards formatted with FAT & FAT32 and trying a specific song they had me download the SD card still would not work. It worked fine via bluetooth and even the AUX connection. So all within a couple of hours of e-mail exchanges they determined it was defective (hey, it happens) and immediately shipped me out a replacement. Couple days later I received the replacement and the SD card in this one worked fine. THANKS to Milla for the great tech support!!! Ok, after using the speaker I can highly recommend it! It has very good sound for the price. I wish I had this when I still worked and had a small AM/FM/CD radio to listen to. For it’s size it’s got some hefty weight to it. The controls are “BRIGHTLY” illuminated and responsive. It has 4 rubber feet on the base that if it’s placed on a smooth surface it will practically stick in place and not slide should you push it. It can play very loud and in my use the loudest for my liking is half volume. It comes with a water proof drawstring pouch for storage/carrying, both an AUX cable and cable for USB charging either via PC or phone charger. I am currently playing it at my desk as I write this review where I used to play music thru my PC. Using the SD card for music, when you shut off the speaker it remembers where you left off in the cue or mid song next time you turn it back on. If you like the convenience having the SD card & not dealing with your phone/tablet via bluetooth this is soooo convenient. Edit: Someone asked this so FYI songs play by title alphabetically from the card. I’d never even noticed and assumed it was random until I checked to respond to the question. As for the option to answer your phone with this I haven’t tested it and quite frankly can’t see using it if you’re among others like an outdoor barbecue or the beach where all can hear your conversation.

I just received this last night so I can only make an initial review. Ita adorable and THE MAIN REASON I am make such a hasty review….I recall many of the reviews I read stating that your device did not affect the volume so I was really disappointed in the output of this speaker…. UNTIL I decided to turn up the volume on my iphone 6. WHOAAAA! Amazing sound. I was able to wander around 40 feet before loosing bluetooth coverage. So far I am very pleased. If there are issues down the road I will update but just wanted to inform reviewers about the volume info

What a wonderful speaker! First off, the packaging it comes with is very nice and it comes with a micro USB charging cable, an AUX cord, and a waterproof protective sleeve for the speaker! As for the sound quality, beyond superb. The built-in sub-woofer gives amazing bass for how much and how big the speaker is. The battery life is very long and it doesn’t take too long to charge. Another thing I really like about this speaker is the fact that the volume control is touch-controlled rather than just buttons. Overall, amazing bluetooth speaker for the price and if anyone is reading this right now, BUY IT!!!

I received & starting using this DOSS Wireless Bluetooth Portable speaker on 06/01/17. In the short period of time in use, it appears to be everything one could want in a speaker of this type. The sound is superb, and the design is most attractive. One minor critique…..the position of the LED charging light makes it difficult to see, as it is located directly underneath the cord when plugged into the charging port. This speaker has performed flawlessly so far. It turns on & connects to Bluetooth with a short musical tone, instead of a recorded voice, and I especially like the auto shut off after 15-minutes without audio input. My limited time of use notwithstanding, I am highly pleased with this product.

I purchased this to connect with my Amazon Dot. I wanted a nice sounding bluetooth speaker that doesn’t break the bank and would have decent sound. Purchasing this was a great choice and I would highly suggest purchasing this product if you are in the market for a great sounding portable speaker.The addition of using a micro sd card to play music is nice. However, this unit really shines with the touch controls. Reminds me of the classic iPod with volume, mode, and skipping tracks. It’s very smooth and intuitive to touch.Sound wise you will be amazed at that sound coming from a speaker that is less than $100.
