DOSS SoundBox Touch Wireless Bluetooth Speaker-12W HD Sound with Rich Bass, IPX5 Waterproof, 20H Playtime, Handsfree, for Gatherings, Home, Office, Outdoor, Travel-Red

I was searching high and low for a Bluetooth Speaker to use with my existing Stereo System. I wanted to keep the AMP, Turntable, CD Player but ditch the Wired Speakers. To this end, I also purchased a Bluetooth Transmitter (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P20TFWM). I narrowed down the choice to the DOSS Touch and one other similarly priced speaker with similar specs. The DOSS was a bit cheaper and was 12 watts instead of 10. I planned to put it in a fairly large room (approx 17'x 19' living room open to a similar size dining room). I received my package and immediately tried pairing the speaker to my phone directly and playing some music. Totally smooth pairing and VERY GOOD BIG sound from the small speaker!! Easily filled the space. Then I attached the really tiny little transmitter to my Amp's headphone jack and held my breath while it paired seamlessly with the speaker. I put on a vinyl album and got good sound (crackles and all) through the speaker. Very loud room filling sound. As expected, BASS was a bit lacking and quality wasn't that great at higher volume. If I could, I would probably subtract 1/2 Star for this, but balancing the AMP volume control and SPEAKER volume control yielded pretty good sound at the sweet spot, and I was more than happy. Next, I put a CD in the CD Player and sound was better. Old vinyl, old needle probably responsible for some of the problems. My old AMP was also being a little recalcitrant about the response from the equalizer. Still Room Filling and satisfying and VERY LOUD. Then I tried the TAPE OUT from the AMP to the Bluetooth Rx/Tx box. As expected, the AMP volume control didn't have any effect, but by controlling volume on the speaker itself, I could get what seemed like better sound, probably due to the TAPE OUT having some pre-set levelling. Net result: SUCCESS! Of course, I would have preferred the separation of real stereo speakers (could have spent more on a pair of Bluetooths...) but the little Speaker that Could provided very good life for legacy Vinyl and CD's with the added benefit of ultimate portability of the battery powered speaker. What a concept! I could move the speaker almost anywhere (Living room, dining room, kitchen) and have great sound! Overall, sound was BETTER when streaming music from the iPhone than from Vinyl or CD's. I guess pure digital vs. Analog wins unless you have much higher end components than I do!! The DOSS Speaker was even better than expected, but of course not as good as the SONOS PLAY:3, or the PLAY:1 speakers I have for all other Music needs. Had I never experienced SONOS I probably would have been totally Blown Away by the DOSS Touch. Certainly, given the Price differential between the $29.99 Bluetooth Speaker and the $200-300 SONOS, I think I got pretty good BANG for the BUCK. Very happy with my purchase! Only worrisome thing is that when I charged it, it was on the charger for more than 2 hours and the red light never went out. Seems to work OK, and I don't expect to run it for HOURS at a time, but I hope it is charging correctly. Item was delivered quickly (PRIME!) and was well packaged and exactly as described.

I’m genuinely impressed with the DOSS SoundBox. For such a compact, portable speaker, the sound quality is outstanding. The bass is deep and punchy without overpowering the mids, and vocals come through clear and crisp. It easily fills a room or outdoor space without distortion, even at higher volumes. The Bluetooth connection is fast and reliable, and I love how simple the controls are—no learning curve at all. Battery life is another big win; I’ve used it for multiple days on a single charge without needing to plug it in. Build quality feels solid and premium, especially for the price. Whether I’m using it at home, in the garage, or taking it outside, it performs consistently well. If you’re looking for a portable speaker with excellent sound, strong bass, long battery life, and great value, the DOSS SoundBox is an easy recommendation.

Well, true to the reviews, this one is a huge WIN. My wife and I are both musicians and love listening to music when we have the time. I have bought several Bluetooth speakers and will compare this one to the venerable older Jam Plus [the good blue one that people hunt for], and the Oontz Angle which I bought shortly after this one. The short answer is that in this price range I don't know of anything that will do a better job than the DOSS, with its well-reviewed shortcomings. To do substantially better, you need to spend substantially more. The Jam is great because it works everytime, is easy to pair, has good-enough battery life, and makes a lot of noise no matter where you put it. It has warmth, which a LOT of smallish BT speakers flat don't have. The very good Oontz Angle sounds great and is very simple: much simpler than the DOSS - it has no volume control so nothing to mess with there to confuse you. The Oontz fooled me - when tested by itself you would swear it is the best sounding mini-sized speaker on the market at the price range. But when I A-B'd it side by side with the Doss Touch, the Doss is clearly more capable. It is louder than the Oontz given the same source feeding both. It is almost too loud, too efficient in that if you want it very very quiet, you'll be very glad it has that touch-volume control on the top. The Oontz is not as Big sounding but is very warm because of the good design with a downward-port as well as the face port, so sound reflects the surface it is placed on. In an Automobile/Truck, as many Oontz reviewers have said, you can plop the Oontz in the windshield-dash "V" and it will make a lot of noise! Perfect for that if you need it. If I had not had the Doss I would have been thrilled with the Oontz - can't go wrong either way. But the Doss starts off clean and crisp and has great "transparency" of fidelity. Run the volume up high and it remains clear - Absent a signal so strong that it would "clip" at your iPad or handset or whatever, the Doss does not fade or break up. If you are looking for a Boom-Box this isn't it [the ones that are are expensive and often uni-dimensional, not hi-fi]. I personally listen to Classical Music when I am working on computer or just busy around a room - the Doss is sublime for that type of music format. If you set it on a table in a spot where there is no under bracing, just a wood top, it is really in its element. Though not 'down-firing' in design, it moves that table like a diaphragm and the rubber feet and mass of the unit keep it well-planted. I sometimes place it in a "hutch" we have,... one of the old fashioned kitchen keeper hutches with a raised top and open area at the middle. The sound from back in that chamber is magic. Like other reviewers, I don't like the audible signals from the Doss - very annoying when someone is sleeping and you flip it on, but Doss has provided firmware switching so if you are even partly competent at downloading and installing the patch to a micro-SD, you can switch off the audible signaling [and more... see their support site]. The Jam, by the way, is also annoying in that respect but we've put up with it 'cause it is a good speaker that "just works". Bottom line: BUY IT.

This is my second one - The sound quality is good, connectivity is easy, price is reasonable, and the operating time on a charge is great, but after about a year it just quit working. I replaced the battery (not something that is meant to be replaced but since it was already not working there was nothing to lose) but no luck. It will turn on, then immediately turn off. Hopefully I won’t have the same issue with #2.

My last speaker died after 10 years and I was pleased to see it was still being made. It probably would have lasted longer, but homegirl had been through a lot. Good sound, decent battery life.

もう少し濃い紫でも良かったのですが、イメージより少し淡かった。見慣れたら上品かな？と思えてきました。 これでダンス頑張れそうです😁

It was a gift for my Granddaughter

Muy practica, excelente diseño, buen volumen, muy fácil de usar. Encantada estoy. A muy buen precio. Gracias

The Bluetooth Speaker DOSS sound-box was delivered very promptly on 3/April/2023, and I have been using it without functional issues since then. I do have a couple of criticisms which I will describe later. I am very pleased with this Bluetooth Speaker. It's seems well-made. It is surprisingly heavy for its size, but I like that. Sound is very good. Battery life is very good; it seems to go be able to go 12 hours on a full charge. It has never malfunctioned, even once since I've had it. I have had several other Bluetooth speakers, one by JBL, another by Phillips, and this Bluetooth speaker is far better than those. The price is also good, as far as I remember, it's cheaper than the JBL and Phillips. The criticisms are 1) (trivial) very small indicator light on USB C charging input. Sometimes it's difficult to see 2) It has a 15 min cut out to save energy when not in use. I like the sound-box to stay on when I study because quite often I have to break for > 15 mins to think, or do work, but I do like it to cut out after 15 min when not hooked to external charge to save energy. This problem is fixed by sending an email to the manufacturer and getting a flash upgrade. I have done this but I haven't done the upgrade yet. I have only used the Bluetooth Speaker as an external speaker on my desktop computer, so I have not been able to evaluate its other functions. Remark added 29 January 2024: I bought this unit in April 2023. I use it every day and it has never malfunctioned. It's a beauty. I would recommend it. END OF STORY🟥

It’s a fab speaker was brilliant for our wedding reception!
