Avantree Boombyte

The Bose Sound Mini Link is the gold standard for compact Bluetooth speakers. The big con on the Bose Sound Mini Link there is no FM Tuner, USB SD Memory Slot, and Micro SD Card Slot. The Bose bass response blows away all the compact speakers I’ve own, Antimi, Retekess V115, and Raddy RF320. The Antimi was my favorite because it is an “All-in-one” radio. The Antimi sound was okay but lack adequate bass response. The Raddy RF320 has decent bass response but it has only one passive radiator speaker. There is no stereo music coming from the single passive radiator speaker. The Raddy RF320 is not a portable. I am retired and have a lot of time to research for a compact radio that is “All-in-one” with stereo speakers and good bass response. I order the Avantree Boombyte on Amazon. Holy Moly! I found the holy grail of “All-in-one” compact portable STEREO radio. The radio is made with high quality material. The radio feels premium. There are two passive radiator speakers for STEREO listening. The unit can play 17 hours with a full charge. The FM tuner reception is good and strong. The big pro is the bass response and the power output from the amplifier. I am blown away with the bass on the Avantree Boombyte. The price is justify for the quality and feature of the STEREO radio. This is an “All-in-one radio” with STEREO and good bass response in a compact design. You will not be disappointed. Happy listening.

I write very few reviews. It's got to be something that really impresses me one way or another. I was unfamiliar with Avantree, but they offer random/shuffle mp3 play on their products, which was essential for me. I assumed they were just another anonymous Chinese brand focused on price point. And really, this thing didn't have to be great for what I paid for it. I was wrong. It's a sweet little player with some real thought and design in it. First off, it's a lot of watts for its size, and you can definitely hear them. They engineered the speakers and vent ports perfectly. Setting it 6-8" in front of a wall will throw impressive, true bass to a full room. It's acoustically amazing for its petite size. There are a few fixed equalizer settings and a utilitarian looking, yet fully featured LCD screen. Easy to wake it and see what you're listening to, be it mp3, radio, or bluetooth. The rotary power/volume control is sublime, saving the fuss with finding a rubber button. The rest of the buttons are convenient for choosing source, mp3 tracks, radio frequencies, and settings, but reading the short, well written manual one time is a must to make sense of it. Radio reception is incredible out of the box, but I'm urban. A usb charging cable can be used as a long distance antenna if needed. Battery performance is very good so far. The case is attractive and reasonably stout. But it's painted and corners will surely wear over time. I once chatted with their pleasant customer service team and can attest to their prompt support. Overall, I'm blown away with this little gem. Enough so that I bought its big brother, the Powerbyte, shortly after, which is also in a class of its own. 5 stars absolutely for this one.

Of the many small portable mono and stereo radios I've owned since the 60's this BoomByte has the best sound quality, battery life and function. I'm a simi audiophile who enjoys music almost anywhere, especially outdoors. My last small portable was a Melson S8 which had nice mono sound but finally died as the push buttons slowly became erratic. It's final demise was when it's old mini usb power connector broke off inside. I have others but their sound quality just doesn't cut it. The reviews on this Avantree Boombyte intrigued me enough to buy and I'm not disappointed at all. For it's small handheld size it packs some quality stereo sound. It's not a funky loud boombox. It's a nice little handheld personal Stereo with just the right amount of mp3 information displayed on its small screen. I couldn't find a user photo of the screen displaying the MicroSD MP3 info so I've included one here. Another must have for me is a good Random/Shuffle function. I only wish there was a dedicated button for it instead of having to open the menu and change selections with multiple choices. I arrange my favorite MP3's in alphabetic order by Artist name hyphen Song. When on my usual Random play and wish to hear another song from the same Artist I typically take it out of random then go back or forward to the Artist's song I wish to hear. A separate normal/random or programmable button would be fantastic. Frankly I would trade the FM button for it any day. Just have FM cycle through the "Mode" button. ex BT/FM/MP3 and make the dedicated FM button MP3 Random on/off! Photo from top to bottom: MicroSD symbol - Current song number with Total songs below - Random play Folder - ROOT or other if split into folders. Music Note Symbol - Scrolling file name left to right Play/Pause Symbol - Current track time hyphen / Total track time One final mention. If your songs, like mine, are generally at different volume levels causing a constant volume adjustment change between songs use a tool (program) such as freeware "MP3Gain" to equalize all of your music prior to copying to the microSD card. Speaking of, I'm using a Samsung 64GB exFAT card but have not tried over 32 GB of songs as I don't have that much in MP3. I also don't relish the though of re-ripping all of my CD's. One last mention. The built-in lithium battery is amazing! 2-3 days for my playing needs. FWIW it does charge at 3.1A on my multi USB charger (usb3 to usb3) which displays current draw. I'm using a certified 1.5' USB 3.2 cable if that matters. All in I'm thrilled with this little audio MP3 player. BT and FM which I rarely use work great also. The FM, with no external antenna autotunes fantastic in our rural location. It's a little more expensive than some others but IMHO worth the difference in quality.

La verdad es que por su precio dificilmente se puede pedir más. Comenzando con lo positivo: - El aspecto es muy bueno, sólido, buen tacto y muy bien acabado. La caja en la que se presenta es espectacular y va muy bien protegido. - Altavoz Bluetooth - Manos libres que funciona bastante bien, lo he probado y se escucha nítido y la persona con la que hablo me escucha perfectamente. - En cuando al sonido, el volumen es muy alto. Lo he comparado con un Creative Sound Blaster Roar 2 y el volumen es práctimente el mismo, siempre que el Roar no esté conectado a la corriente (el volumen sube bastante). - Segun especificaciones tiene 2 x 7 W de potencia, pero no especifica si son RMS o de pico. - Tiene un ecualizador para la función BT que va muy bien (no lo he probado con tarjeta SD ni USB). - Radio FM muy fácil de utilizar con memorias directas. - Un cordel para transportar. - Estéreo. - Salida de auriculares, que por cierto todavía no he probado. - Reproduce música desde los puertos USB y micro SD que tampoco he probado. Ni creo que llegue a probar porque de hecho nunca utilizo estos puertos en altavoces Bt y menos si tiene radio. - La batería dura una eternidad, al menos con la radio que es lo que más utilizo. Después de 18 días de uso (0,5 a 2 horas diarias a 1/3 del volumen) todavía mantiene un 75% de la batería. Lo negativo: - El sonido es bastante bueno y con buenos bajos aunque no es comparable a un Roar (este aparato cuesta más del doble), pero a máximo volumen decepciona. Tiene 30 pasos de volumen, hasta 28 es bueno, pero cuando llegas al 29 o 30 mejor es bajarlo ya que dispara el volumen y no presenta buen sonido. Mejor bajarlo a 28. - La radio FM no tiene antena pero tiene buena recepción. La he comparado con una radio con antena y los canales con buena señal se oyen muy nítidos, pero cuando la señal no es buena se oyen más interferencias que con la radio con antena. - El ecualizador no está disponible para la radio. - El dial de volumen no está al nivel del resto del aparato en cuanto a tacto, va demasiado suave y se varía el volumen solo rozandolo. - Le hecho en falta una entrada AUX. - Como la mayoría de los altavoces BT solo dispone del códec básico SBC. En resumen creo que lo positivo compensa sobradamente lo negativo, teniendo en cuenta que lo he comparado con un SB Roar 2.

Radio FM de qualité : très bon son stéréo, encombrement réduit, recharge rapide avec un cordon USB servant également d'antenne et autonomie largement suffisante. Produit utilisé pendant cinq semaines en été, dans un endroit très isolé : aucun problème de réception. Chaque recharge de la batterie a permis huit jours d'utilisation (environ trois heures quotidiennes). Cette radio a parfaitement correspondu à mes besoins. La connexion bluetooth avec un téléphone portable fonctionne sans souci. Conclusion : radio FM très fortement recommandée.

Voor zo een kleine radio een geweldig goed geluid met een aardige bas , deze is zijn geld dubbel en dwars waard.

Great value for money. Looks study and the quality of the sound vs the version before (which only had a single speaker) is noticeably better. It does then in turn weight a little more but still easy enough for travel and although I haven't looked at it vs the original for battery I am sure it is good too!

Very good,powerful sound the battery lasts forever
