Its the best portable PA for size, quality, portability and price. Lots of places where I can't use a generator and this thing just checks all the boxes.
Update from Denmark (were they are made): They have now been banned from use in certain areas of Copenhagen after 8 on weekdays and 10 on Fridays and Saturdays
@@digitaldjtips It's all amplified portable speakers - but it's 100% based on soundboks - the name is in all the news headlines, and in the anti-soundboks facebook groups that have forced the local politicians to act
I have a Soundboks 2 and love it. Highly recommend. No battery problems in my experience. I’ve played it for 9+ hours at about level 9 outdoors (on indoor mode which works for my needs) and the battery is still about half charged.
Phil I brought 2 of them have been watching them for a minute they have a sale going on now... yes they are really loud will be testing the battery soon... want to have 5 of them to surround crowd and a good sub for bass
Totally agree it would be great if they offered a sub as well. My solution is pairing a couple of these with a currently unused JL Audio 12 W7-3 in a factory spec ported box on wheels. The Soundboks' are on order so I haven't tested it yet but that should easily cover the missing low end.
Been looking for a dual purpose wireless wedding ceremony speaker and boat party speaker! Stoked to test drive this one. The Roland BA 330 is decent but the bass output from two 6" woofers is a bit lacking. I wish I waited to buy it lol.
When you link up multiple SBs, in the app you cat set each individual one to play Left/Right/Mono. 5 connect wirelessly, if you need more synced you run cable between 2 masters (and have 4 slaves connect wirelessly to each).
We hate them in Denmark (were they are from) But it's mainly because EVERYONE in Copenhagen have them, so every park or stretch of beach have a few of them doing a sound volume battle The company behind them were actually in the national news several times last year, where they were asked what they was going about ruining outdoor live for everybody There were even talks about banning them from being used outside
Anybody that goes into a public place and tries to blast their music and drown out everybody else is an asshole and deserves to have their $1,000 loud toy box destroyed in front of their face...
So I’ve listened to this speaker and it’s pretty good, but the upper bass seems heavy which can distract from the mid to lower bass that this has. Did you have this same impression Phil w/o EQ adjustment?
If you already have 2 soundboks 3. Do you think the subwoofer in the soundboks in enough for a really big party or festival. Or would just more soundbokses do the trick ;)
Phil, since you mentioned wanting a half size (mini Soundboks) battery powered speaker, was curious if you'd given the JBL Eon One Compact a go. It's a battery powered 8" speaker from JBL
I’ve got a pair of Eon One Speakers from JBL - they are amazing. I’ve been eyeballing the Soundboks; but the portability and sound quality of the Eon One is great and does the job for small venues.
The design on the thin Battery lead being what holds the Battery looks terrible, i imagine said lead not lasting very long on even damaging the connection on the Speaker itself after a while of being moved about and Battery changes ect. Also if you using them at Home/Indoors why no way to run off the mains without the Batteries as it will extend the life of your Batteries greatly, unless it does this but its not clear from the video. They certainly look like a good first effort but for the monies they are asking some of these basic things need to be addressed for the next iteration for sure.
It depends on how loud you want it to be for that party. If you want it to hurt your ear being loud then you probably should have two or more soundbokses but if you need loudness that is very loud but bot extremly loud then one soundboks will do the trick
This is to Digital DJ Tips we have enough small gadget like JBL there is no need for any more, we do not have any existing two 15 inch bluetooth speaker box Soundboks is the same size, are is it Soundboks to undertake building a new Soundboks 4 that would speaker box Soundboks should ask there customer if a bigger Soundboks 4 with two 15 inch
100% agree until they came out with the software update. Now, there are pre-set EQ or, you can simply design your own using the SB app. Really made a huge difference in the sound quality.
They really sound great at loud volumes as well. + multiple sound profiles. The winner though is removable battery. Play it loud and as long as you have batteries u r in good shape other portable Pa battery powered speakers become paper weights in 3 hours once the batteries die. Heavy useless paperweights.
In my opinion!! The JBL has great bass but the bass kind of drowns the highs! On the Soundboks the highs are great with the bass but the bass is still kinda quiet! (My opinion)
@@ryanwilkins6171 Yea I agree that the bass can be a little quiet but that is if you have it on the normal power mode and on low volume. But if you turn it upp and put it to bass+ then it becomes a speaker that will suprise you with bass. Especially when you think about it having a battery...
Battery powered doesn't impress me. I already have to take a generator with me wherever I set up anyway so I think I'll just stick with saving up for those Mackie's
@@alyssalovethedj just curious what you are using now? I plan on doing outside parties and will need a generator as well, but looking for an all in one speaker like this that has a good bass where I don’t have to purchase a sub separately
Find me another speaker that can do everything this one does for this price. It does not exist. If you don't need the pro panel & app, save $300 and get the SB2.

Nice one Fursa, we like it as well
Update from Denmark (were they are made):

That, I would say, is a ringing endorsement of the volume of these things! 🤣
Just Soundboks or excessive noise in general?
@@digitaldjtips It's all amplified portable speakers - but it's 100% based on soundboks - the name is in all the news headlines, and in the anti-soundboks facebook groups that have forced the local politicians to act
Crazy stuff!
@@digitaldjtips It means they're great! - I've added them on my Amazon Watch list!
Loud and clean speaker with replaceable battery battery lasts 4 hrs plus at loud volumes connect with Denon prime go and jam wirelessly
Nice one :)
That is exactly what I was going to comment.😁
Much longer than 4 hours. I used it quite loud for 2 nights & one afternoon, before the battery died.
I have a Soundboks 2 and love it. Highly recommend. No battery problems in my experience. I’ve played it for 9+ hours at about level 9 outdoors (on indoor mode which works for my needs) and the battery is still about half charged.
Now if only the Prime Go had a replaceable battery too...
Phil I brought 2 of them have been watching them for a minute they have a sale going on now... yes they are really loud will be testing the battery soon... want to have 5 of them to surround crowd and a good sub for bass
Awesome, have fun with them!
How would this compare to the Everse 8?
Totally agree it would be great if they offered a sub as well. My solution is pairing a couple of these with a currently unused JL Audio 12 W7-3 in a factory spec ported box on wheels. The Soundboks' are on order so I haven't tested it yet but that should easily cover the missing low end.
You're right Jeremy, it should!
These are great with a replaceable battery the functionality is awesome I connect my prime go and jam out
Glad to hear you're enjoying yours, lottsmore.
Per sub woofers. While an engineering student at Full sail, I learned that bass takes a ridiculous amount of power. Not sure if this can be overcome.
Love hearing Phil’s input.
Thanks Patrick
Same!!

I think this will do the job
Just bought 4 of them 2x gen3. And 2x GOs
Wow have fun!
Can you run these in stereo with 2?
When you link up multiple SBs, in the app you cat set each individual one to play Left/Right/Mono. 5 connect wirelessly, if you need more synced you run cable between 2 masters (and have 4 slaves connect wirelessly to each).
2 of these and a denon prime go, portable party!
Indeed!
Please comment me sir.. Soundboks 3 price in India Cost
A sub and a mini version would be amazing!!
Here's hoping...

Top article on major Danish online newspaper right now: second largest city in Denmark looking at banning the Soundboks
@@klausmogensen8691 If they do, they've handed a marketing coup of the highest order to the Soundboks company.
So I’ve listened to this speaker and it’s pretty good, but the upper bass seems heavy which can distract from the mid to lower bass that this has. Did you have this same impression Phil w/o EQ adjustment?
Not an impression I got personally from memory, Stephen.
If you already have 2 soundboks 3. Do you think the subwoofer in the soundboks in enough for a really big party or festival. Or would just more soundbokses do the trick ;)
14:30 :) but do you wait or get on now
They're not really designed for you to add subwoofers to, so I guess more speakers would be the answer!
Soundboks Mini and Denon Prime Go. I'm in.
A great combo!
@14:58 10 months later the made a Soundboks Go. It’s half the size just like you asked.
They did! Who'd have thought it? :)
@@digitaldjtips you plan on doing a review on the Soundboks Go?
Well ... you spoke and they listened. Soon to release the NEW #SOUNDBOKSGo 👀
Wow great!
Phil, since you mentioned wanting a half size (mini Soundboks) battery powered speaker, was curious if you'd given the JBL Eon One Compact a go. It's a battery powered 8" speaker from JBL
We haven't, have you? :)
Not yet, but thinking of picking one up for a fully portable battery powered rig 😁🎶
I’ve got a pair of Eon One Speakers from JBL - they are amazing. I’ve been eyeballing the Soundboks; but the portability and sound quality of the Eon One is great and does the job for small venues.
test sound ?
The design on the thin Battery lead being what holds the Battery looks terrible, i imagine said lead not lasting very long on even damaging the connection on the Speaker itself after a while of being moved about and Battery changes ect.
Also if you using them at Home/Indoors why no way to run off the mains without the Batteries as it will extend the life of your Batteries greatly, unless it does this but its not clear from the video.
They certainly look like a good first effort but for the monies they are asking some of these basic things need to be addressed for the next iteration for sure.
You can run them off the mains at home by inserting the battery charging lead into the speaker socket.
@@digitaldjtips Thanks for the clarification
Can you link the batteries together?
No but you can "hot swap" them.
Can it run a party of 100 people? Or is it not so loud?
I'd use two for that
It depends on how loud you want it to be for that party. If you want it to hurt your ear being loud then you probably should have two or more soundbokses but if you need loudness that is very loud but bot extremly loud then one soundboks will do the trick
This is to Digital DJ Tips we have enough small gadget like JBL there is no need for any more, we do not have any existing two 15 inch bluetooth speaker box Soundboks is the same size, are is it Soundboks to undertake building a new Soundboks 4 that would speaker box Soundboks should ask there customer if a bigger Soundboks 4 with two 15 inch
soundboks need to make a soundboks 4 with a 15 inch speaker
They dont have to make it smaller just add wheels and a handle
Just add holes - so you can use wheels and a handle if needed and sell them as accessories
i had it once, both soundboks 2 and NSB, and jeez the mid freq was almost absent on NSB.. soundboks2 had better sound than NSB.
Thanks for weighing in!
100% agree until they came out with the software update. Now, there are pre-set EQ or, you can simply design your own using the SB app. Really made a huge difference in the sound quality.
At that price ill just buy me a jbl srx pro live sound speaker...heck buy the EV ZLX
15" powered speaker 1000 watts 499$
Pro audio
Fair enough :)
Not so portable as they aren’t battery powered
with that price, minimum must respond with a good sound. (written with translator)
They do sound great.
They really sound great at loud volumes as well. + multiple sound profiles. The winner though is removable battery. Play it loud and as long as you have batteries u r in good shape other portable Pa battery powered speakers become paper weights in 3 hours once the batteries die. Heavy useless paperweights.

And then you look deeper at SKAA and learn about RED mode and you wonder why you would ever use Bluetooth again.
Indeed!
👍👍👍👍👍
🙌
wanted you to play it to see how you think the sound is...
Doesn't make sense to us to play speakers in reviews, as you're not really hearing what it sounds like.
@@digitaldjtips its not what i hear from the speakers it your review that i listen to... did you play them?
Ah sorry, misunderstood you. Yes, we have used the lots. I have been using them as my livestream speaker system.
You didn’t let us hear the speaker
We think it's pointless playing speakers through other speakers, sorry.
What about the JBL partybox 310 VS soundboks 3?
In my opinion!! The JBL has great bass but the bass kind of drowns the highs! On the Soundboks the highs are great with the bass but the bass is still kinda quiet! (My opinion)
Haven't tried one yet :)
@@ryanwilkins6171 Yea I agree that the bass can be a little quiet but that is if you have it on the normal power mode and on low volume. But if you turn it upp and put it to bass+ then it becomes a speaker that will suprise you with bass. Especially when you think about it having a battery...
@@thespeakerguys-testingspeakers now having it for almost a week! I’ve realized the same! It’s a GREAT speaker!! All my friends LOVE it!!
@@ryanwilkins6171 Same, although I have had it for 10 months
Soundboks need to make a brand new Soundboks 4 with a bigger battery with two 15 inch speaker, bigger is always better.
Lol we think they should make a smaller one
Rockster sounds better
At $999.99 USD it is not affordable.
There is absolutely nothing to justify that ridiculous price tag. I don't care how loud it gets....
We hear you, affordability is subjective at the end of the day
just think how much a JBL, QSC, Mackie or any other top professional speaker cost... and it runs off a battery???? No question who I am investing in..
Battery powered doesn't impress me. I already have to take a generator with me wherever I set up anyway so I think I'll just stick with saving up for those Mackie's

2 of these will do a bar
4 of these will do a club
12 of these will do a festival (small/forest)
I'd say you're right!
