We got our hands on a Teufel Boomster boombox a few weeks ago. We've been putting it through the test and here's the report. Basically we've been taking the speaker to the trails on digging sessions and have used it while working on the site indoors. We'll mention the positives first before we mention the negatives. The Boomster has a killer sound. Even when you turn it up, the sound doesn't distort. Indoors it goes louder than you want, so whenever you need a speaker for an indoor party or at a BBQ, the Boomster has you covered. The Bass can be monitored. It's not the deepest bass we've ever heard, but the sound is great and that's what you need basically from a portable speaker. The Boomster isn't a speaker alone. You can charge your phone or other devices that need power and have a USB to plug in.

The Boomster also has a built in radio (and antenna) for those listening to Radio stations. We could save our favourite stations within seconds of taking it out of the box which indicates the use of the Boomster

is simple. We hardly ever listen to the radio here so connecting it to the phone/spotify/computer is what we have done lately. The size is killer, it's semi-waterproof so putting it on the wet grass or wet dirt did not scare us one bit. We even had it play during a little drizzle and it kept going.

Battery use is fine too. 18 hours or something like that which is more than enough for any riding/digging/party. The speaker has dropped from the front seat after some heavy braking and nothing broke. That's good news for some of you that have a hard time keeping things new. The Boomster comes with a remote control device and a charger cable.

The negatives you ask? Not too much really. The On button is kinda hard to press. You need to hold it for a few seconds before it turns on so it's not just a quick hit for an on/off switch. What we also encountered is that the reception when using Bluetooth doesn't reach very far. The solution there is to leave your phone with the speaker for the best result.

Teufel has a BOOMSTER Fabio Wibmer Release the beat Edition available that comes in Black or White and has some cool graphics. That one will cost you € 369,99 and is availabe on the Teufel website. More details below straight from Teufel:

Even better sound, even longer runtime: The BOOMSTER is back to set the standard. Despite being a portable outdoor speaker with built-in rechargeable battery, it can put even compact home stereo systems to shame.
