Audio Experience
Doss claims that the Soundbox Plus have true stereo sound which means that the audio is separated in the left and right speakers. In real-world use, the average listener won’t notice this feature only those with a keen ear will notice the difference.
When it comes to performance this speaker can get surprisingly loud making it perfect for large open area or your living room or even small spaces like your dorm room.
Audio quality is pretty good, you get a decent amount of bass that’s not earth-shaking but very acceptable especially for a budget speaker. The mids are good, vocals and instrument tend to stand out but will get a bit raspy at high volume. The highs offer plenty of clarity that’s never overwhelming or overpowering on the ears.
To Wrap Things Up
The Doss SoundBoss Plus doesn’t sound like the more expensive speaker like the JBL Flip5 or Sony XB22 Bluetooth speakers. But it’s a quality affordable Bluetooth speaker that has all the functions of the more premium Bluetooth speakers on the market. For the price, it delivers a good audio experience with great LED lighting.
