This is the Soundboks Go. If you’re looking for a super rugged portable box speaker that can take a whole lot of abuse, keep up with your constant on the go, outdoors life style… all while packing a whole lot of volume in a relatively compact form factor… then the Soundboks Go is for you. The Soundboks go is literally going to give you Partybox 310 max volume performance in a more rugged and smaller body than the Partybox 110. However, the Soundboks Go is not the best if you plan on using it indoors. But nonetheless, lets checkout the Soundboks Go and see what its about.

I think the price should be $499. I just bought a Soundboks 3 last week. If I had both. I think for outdoor duty. I would probably always take the 3. Sure it's larger; but it should sound much better. Much more bang for the buck. And the pro panel has so much value to me. Since I DJ with mine. They definitely should have added more inputs.

Many people dont realise but If you want to dj with a portable speaker, soundboks are your best option because of the low Bluetooth latency. My jbl 310 sounds amazing at home at 50% and thumps outdoors on max but lasts 5 hours unplugged and the terrible latency means if you want to use a dj controller you need to plug in to AUX which gives a noticeable drop in sound quality and loudness.

I have a Soundboks 3 and I love it. But there is one flaw and with the Go. I would love to have a USB port, so it can play my music directly from it instead of bluetooth. The USB should have all the features like pause, rewind, advance and shuffle along with a window to see title and artist of tracks.

Thought on pre-order one of those, but chose not to do. I was watching videos about this Sounboks, and now yours and have my final opinion. Yes I want a good speaker for festivals and outdoors, but when it comes to winter you gotta keep your speakers running so the battery keeps its efficiency and doesn't lose too much power while being empty most of the time. So I thought maybe waiting for the JBL Boombox 3. 3 way sound system, I could use this in winter connecting it to my laptop, while streaming on my TV as a "Soundbar". The way boombox is build it's a fake Soundbar. So you use it all year long right? Was so excited für the soundboks, but things like missing deep base, not loading it with AC and getting 100% or more like with JBL.. Hmmm. For that 700 Euro, and 50 more for the strap. If I buy a Bluetooth speaker and pay more than 500, it should be there for me and give me the best experience every single day not just in Summer or when it's hot outside...

It is worth noting that the battery on the Soundboks is a Lithium Iron Phosphate type that unlike any other speaker can withstand from sub-zero temperature to scorching heat. In Europe it's regularly used as PA system for extreme skiing events and competitions due to it's ability to be used outdoors in literally any weather.

Thank you for review! Everything was good until the ports part: only one aux is a big no for me, especially for that price. And no option to use it without the battery is also bad. I see why GYMCADDY (why we don't even know your name? Gymcaddy itself is so outdated and not in the line with the channel) tries to find some pros here, but on the other side we are having another new type of a battery, that cannot be used somewhere else, and you forced to not to use speaker just plugged in. It is all a marketing crap that we have to avoid. Are you ever going to have a look on MInirig? These seems to be one of the best bluetooth/portable speakers ever. I know it is pricey, and then cost for delivery and customs, but it still worth every penny.

SB’s doesn’t want the speaker to be played without a battery. I’ve reached out to them and explained what a terrible idea that was and they clearly don’t care. They want you to always have to buy batteries from them which are very expensive. You should be able to play your speaker plugged into a outlet without a battery. I’ve had the first generation speaker and man did it suck knowing you couldn’t listen to your music full volume if your battery was low. You always had to have extra batteries. These speakers feel like a gimmick to be honest. Until they listen to the consumer they are never going to be able to compete with JBL,Sony, LG, and other brands that don’t have a battery gimmick. It is a good option to have but it was really dumb to take the option away of plugging into an outlet to listen at full volume with no battery.
