For Indoor and Outdoor Use : Braven Braven BRV-X

Described as an “ultra rugged” device, the Braven BRV-X is a portable multifunction product. The Braven BRV-X combines Bluetooth speaker functionality with battery charging features. It can also act as a speaker phone unit. While more suited to the...

Available in a choice of black or grey, with my review sample being of the latter type, the Braven BRV-X is perhaps not the most stylish piece of kit in the market. The product consists of elements that remind me of a wide-angle camera with removable...

The Braven BRV-X is a feature rich speaker that offers more than most of it competitors. Rugged, weather proof and a powerful sound mean this can be the only speaker you will need, specially with the clever outdoor mode. However, being rugged does make...

Braven BRV-XXL/2 Review

Powerful audio output with adjustable bass and treble ; Built-in bottle-opener

Expensive ; Booming, bass-forward sound signature not for everyone

Braven's BRV-XXL/2 speaker delivers thunderous audio performance from a massive, outdoor-friendly frame with a powerful subwoofer and a built-in bottle opener.

Braven BRV-X/2

The Braven BRV-X/2 speaker delivers solid Bluetooth audio from a waterproof, portable frame.

Solid audio performance, with crisp, clear highs and rich lows. Waterproof and rugged. Speakerphone.

Can distort at top volumes on some tracks. Lacks truly deep bass.

For $100, the best the Braven BRV-X/2 has to offer is its rugged build—this thing looks and feels like it can take a beating, and it even floats. The audio performance isn't bad, but it doesn't really stand out from the pack. In this price range, we're...

Braven BRV-X

The Braven BRV-X is a fantastic portable Bluetooth speaker that delivers powerful audio in a rugged design.

Powerful audio performance, with rich bass and crisp highs. Rugged, water-resistant design. Speakerphone functionality.

Audio performance too sculpted for purists.

For $200, the Braven BRV-X is worth every penny. Its audio is intense, its design is meant to withstand some nasty weather and minor abuse, and the Indoor/Outdoor switch is truly useful. Its thoughtful design and strong performance easily earn it our...

Braven BRV-XXL/2 Review: Your beefy bass buddy

Bluetooth speakers so vast they demand their own carry handle may trade portability for punch, but when social distancing says you can't go further than the garden you might as well drag some music out there with you. Braven's BRV-XXL/2 is one such...

Bass, bass, and more bass ; 18 hour battery life ; App-free control over treble/bass ; Bottle opener is handy

Buttons are tricky to see ; Only IPX5 waterproof if the port flap is shut

Review: Braven BRV-X/2 | The Wilderness Speaker That Can Withstand Water Braven BRV-X/2

With a rock-hard chassis and a proper battery, the Braven BRV-X / 2 is the speaker for the wilderness.

Very robust and it even floats. Excellent battery life and mobile charging. Many features.

No pressure in the bass. The so-called carrying strap feels like a sales ploy.

Even the little Braven BRV-X / 2 holds its own like a wilderness speaker. It’s the speaker in the test that we would not be worried about having to break on a trip in the wilderness. And the battery also lasts all weekend, and can emergency charge the...

Braven BRV-XXL/2 Bluetooth speaker review – Big. Heavy. and Loud. – The Gadgeteer

The BRV-XXL/2 is a lean, mean party machine. Crank this baby up and you'll have people asking you to turn it down. That's a good problem to have.

Rugged design;Waterproof rating;Good sound;Incredible Bluetooth range
