Good battery life ; 3D sound mode works quite well ; Detailed, well-projected treble

Sound is not that cohesive ; Conventional wireless speakers sound bigger, more powerful

The BenQ Trevolo S’s portable electrostatic speaker concept is neat, but the results aren’t compelling enough.

Reasonably wide sound ; Up to 12 hours battery life ; Detailed sound

Rock and indie music sound awful ; Bass is a little underwhelming

An innovative Bluetooth speaker that offers detailed sound, but there are more versatile speakers available for the price.

Decent amount of detail with modest arrangements ; Striking aesthetics

Lacks significant expression ; Can sound smaller than expected

We can’t argue BenQ are trying to push the boundaries, but the treVolo is just an okay-sounding speaker

Truly distinctive design ; Very detailed, clear sound ; Genuinely portable ; Decent battery life

Little lacking in bass ; Needs careful positioning ; Quite directional sound ; No remote control

The treVolo looks and, to some extent, sounds unlike anything the Bluetooth speaker market has seen before, making it a near-ideal way for BenQ to mark its debut on the home audio scene. It doesn't suit all musical tastes, but when it's good it's very...

When you first remove the treVolo from its packaging, it is a wedged shaped solid device that is encircled by a dark grey metallic collar. In this state, the unit has dimensions of 176.6 x 134.6 x 78.5mm (H x D x W). On either side of the device are...

Excellent audio reproduction.

Bass response falls a bit flat.

We've seen Bluetooth speakers come in all manner of different shapes and sizes, but we don't think we've seen anything quite like the BenQ TreVolo in quite some time. The main body looks like a solid chunk of aluminium with some startling speaker...

We're keen on the TreVelo's odd design and sound quality is pretty decent, but it simply doesn't cope with bass-heavy tracks. Songs with a deeper bass sounded incredibly muddy, mostly due to the flat panel speakers that just can't keep up with the...

The BenQ TreVolo is one of the strangest Bluetooth speakers we've seen to date, but the smart folding design looks good, it's solid and sturdy and the electrostatic panels are sure to be a conversation starter. The crisp and clear audio sounds great,...

Built-in battery for portability ; High-quality sound overall ; Interesting design

Some tracks needed more treble ; BenQ Audio app didn't work for us

A gorgeously designed speaker from all angles, the talented TreVolo has enough brilliance, balance, and accuracy to satisfy even the most discerning Bluetooth critic, but what’s the fun in a wireless speaker if you can’t blast sound from across the...
