Soundboks Hits the Portable Party Sweet Spot with New Mix Speaker

The Bluetooth speaker market is extremely crowded, with a million options from every manufacturer you can think of. However, the options narrow significantly if you want a speaker that is loud enough for a literal party. The party speakers market is much more niche, catering towards DJs and event hosts. The most notable names in the space are the JBL Partybox series and Soundboks. Having been fortunate enough to test out the JBL Partybox 310 and Soundboks 4, there are pros and cons to each. Both are super loud, enough to create a party anywhere you happen to bring the speaker, but that’s where it gets tough. While the speakers are wireless and are portable, they’re really only portable if you have a car or a truck to transport them, and you will not want to move them too far because they are both very hefty devices. Will the public beach or shared pool allow you to lug in a huge party speaker like you’re a DJ about to throw a rave? It’s a toss up. Soundboks has heard you and it has provided the solution. Enter the Soundboks Mix.

The Selling Point

The Soundboks Mix is designed to perfectly balance audio quality, power, battery life, durability, and portability. This is a fully functional party speaker that can fit in a (large) backpack. You can bring it to the beach or the pool without scaring everybody as you walk in. It still has the ridiculous battery life of the Soundboks 4 and swappable battery which makes charging a breeze. It has all of the features of the Soundboks 4 but in a mini form factor, which is amazing because the Soundboks 4 has some heft to it that makes it less portable than a regular Bluetooth speaker.
