The Beats by Dr. Dre Beatbox portable
speaker delivers a phenomenal premium sound, and unlike other docking stations,
this portable system can follow the party wherever it goes.
We expected top-draw audio quality from the
Beatbox and weren’t disappointed, as a massive audio boom emanates from the
171mm high unit, accompanied by an impressive sound quality that features a
generous amount of bass. At maximum volume though, distortion subtly creeps in
with an audible hiss coming from the system.

Dre Beatbox Portable
Bereft of power? No problem, since you can
power the Beatbox with six “D cell” batteries. This will cost in the region of
R170, making it a bit of a shame that a rechargeable battery is not offered.
Transporting the speaker is made easier by two handle grips on either side of
the device, but at 4kg you aren’t likely to use it as a new-age boombox.
The Beatbox portable’s phenomenal sound
bang can accompany you virtually anywhere.

Connect now
On top of the Beatbox is an iPod dock
connector that enables iPod and iPhone users to dock their devices, but you
cannot connect an iPad since the housing of the connector is way too small. There
are also six clip-in adaptors for differently shaped iPhone and iPod models in
place, but iPhone 5 users still need to buy an expensive (R330) Lightning to
30-pin connector.

Non-iPhone users have two other
connectivity avenues open, namely a 3.5mm jack (cable not included) and
Bluetooth wireless audio transfer over a distance of around 10m. an
always-handy remote is also present to comfortably control playback from your
couch or bed.
To the point
The Beats by Dr. Dre Beatbox portable
delivers great audio quality and a phenomenal sound bang, and thanks to battery
power support, this monstrous sound can accompany you virtually anywhere.
