"The bass is amazing. ... This definitely hits lower than the JBL, Harmon, and anything else in its class. ... And it gets quite loud without distortion. ... For it's size and form factor it is absolutely incredible. ... The woofer technology is insane though. Imagine a tiny home subwoofer with that technology in it. Or a medium sized one. They can revolutionize the industry."


"it definitely goes lower than the 10" sub I use at home in my stereo setup. ... With proper placement, it's been able to audibly reach 23 hz ... It will shake the whole speaker at 20 hz"


"The sound quality of the Brane X speaker is amazing, especially the bass. ... I was blown away by how loud and low the speaker could go without distorting. ... It sounds like a much bigger speaker than it actually is. ... I listened to different genres of music, but I especially enjoyed EDM and hip hop, which showcased the bass capabilities of the speaker. ... It ’s not going to blow your hair back like festival subs, but it has the same satisfying thump and rumble you ’d expect from a decent OEM car audio system with subwoofer or 2.1 powered desktop setup. ... It ’s seriously impressive bass that continued to surprise me."

"a revelation for portability and hi-res output"


"Compact portable speaker with a true subwoofer in it (that’s not a massive soundbox / jbl party speaker.)"


"The Brane X speaker is a great product for anyone who loves bass and wants a powerful sound from a small, portable device. ... you get what you pay for in uncompromising bass in a seemingly impossible form factor. ... I would recommend this to others, i'm very happy with my purchase."

"The battery life was decent, but not exceptional. ... I played music at varying levels, mostly on the louder side, during a visit to my parents house and the battery went from 100% to 46% in about five and a half hours. ... That means I would not get the advertised 12 hours of playtime, unless played at low to low-moderate volume."


"Note that the battery life of the brane x (and most bt speakers) at full volume isn't going to be that long."

"The highs come alive at much higher volumes but the speaker is quite loud at that point and won't work for regular listening."


"The mids and highs are subdued in comparison. ... They sound fine just seems they need more gain or power at lower volumes, even with the highs on eq cranked up."


"Highs are slightly lacking at lower volume levels"

"The omission of USB type C for charging is disappointing, as the included charger is very bulky, like an old HP laptop charger."

"One thing that disappointed me was that the speaker could only be paired with one wifi network. ... When I took the speaker to my parents' house, I could not set it up on their network without unpairing my network."


"Setup was a bit difficult. ... Walking through the app, it struggled to connect the speaker to my wi-fi. ... After the 5th try, it finally worked. I don’t know why it failed on the first 4 attempts yet worked on the 5th."


"If they add Tidal Connect or other wifi streaming it would be great for wireless as well. Just bluetooth 5.1 and some standard res streaming services supported according to the page."

"The Brane X had AWESOME deep bass, however there was noticeable kickdrum distortion. ... Treble was noticeably veiled & would distort as well with certain songs. ... EQ adjustments did not help. ... The Brane team said this was normal, so I decided to send it back."


"if you use the speaker ’s physical volume button to turn the volume all the way down to mute while having a custom EQ, then turn it back up it seems the EQ changes to one of the built-in presets."

Co-sign on this, no competition when it comes to the bass performance and for the price.

its not a party speaker and does have a balanced sound imho. in what way is it not balanced? its upper bass boost? pretty much standard for these bluetooth speakers and overall a very balanced speaker.

I got a Brane X not too long ago and it’s still pretty portable. Not the smallest speaker of course but it’s gonna have the best bass response in that size category. I was looking for something that packed some bass but was smaller than a JBL boombox 3 with similar bass response and it matches it or might even reach lower if I’m not mistaken based on graphs. I’m happy with it.

Is the minirig idea to add a subwoofer to the brane? lol I can not imagine adding more bass to the brane. It does not need an extra sub. It’s good as is.

I think it’s the Brane X. I went to their showroom in Austin the other week and they have a great listening room with a number of other comparable speakers. I bought the Brane X on the spot. Two days later I went back and bought a second. Now I’m inexplicably wanting to go back and buy a third.

Yes I run my two in stereo and it’s perfect. Super easy. Sounds better than any Bluetooth speaker I have personally heard.

I ordered 12/30, delivered 1/11. DEFINTELY king of SQ for size AND price. It's not audiophile quality, but it sounds VERY good, especially indoors. It has surprising bass using boundary effect (place 12" from a corner or wall), and the dedicated tweeter produces highs I'm not used to in a small BT speaker. It sounds so good I don't need to EQ like on the Tribit Micro 2 and Brane X which both REQUIRE EQ. After EQ the Brane X sounds AMAZING, bass and overall sound is in a whole other category. I actually planned on using the Brane X as a travel speaker, my wife said out of the question. So I ordered both the Tribit Micro 2 and the Sound Outdoor for different space constraints, but after hearing both, I'll ALWAYS make room for the Sound Outdoor. I don't see myself settling for the Micro 2's sound… I can make 53 cubic inches of space (2-5/8 x 2-5/8 x 7-3/4"), maybe even take it in my computer bag. I ordered another one, the price can't be beat for this level of quality.

Look into Brane X ! Startup based out of Austin. Just got one and I love it. Compact portable speaker with a true subwoofer in it (that’s not a massive soundbox / jbl party speaker.) A bit more than $300 - it’s $450 and they give $50 off I believe. Highly recommend! This thing bumps and is very balanced- going to get another..

Hard to beat the Brane X for bass! The JBL Boombox 3 also pushes plenty of low-end. Otherwise, some budget-friendly options with a good amount of bass are the Tribit StromBox Blast or Lava, and the Soundcore Boom 2 or Boom 2 Pro, depending on how big or small you want your speaker to be.

You can sometimes find the Harman Kardon Go+Play 3 for 250. I had one till it was stolen. I loved it. Otherwise Brane-X from Brane Audio is my #1 choice.
