If your computer has a set of speakers attached to it, there’s a good chance those speakers came with a subwoofer that you set on the floor and forgot about. Hoffman’s Iron law is the reason for that — a speaker with really good bass would have to be as big or bigger than your computer tower to give you the clarity you want. Instead, a dedicated subwoofer comes with your midrange/high-end speakers/tweeters.
Meanwhile, the Brane X Smart speaker is smaller than the subwoofer. Plus, it has midrange drivers, high-end tweeters, and a 12-hour battery besides, all in one package. On top, there’s a touch-sensitive area with controls for Bluetooth, Bass level, volume up and down, microphone muting, and Smart Assistant summoning. All of those buttons are super easy to brush by mistake.
On the front is a small “Brane” logo and a set of LEDs to indicate various statuses such as Bluetooth connectivity, Wi-Fi connectivity, and power status. On the back are the power button, barrel charger inlet, and 3.5mm aux jack. Roughly 3/4 of the sides of the speaker are the grill giving you about 270 degrees of sound. Theoretically, it’s supposed to be 360 degrees, but you do lose quite a bit of fidelity from behind the speaker. Finally, a rubberized handle across the top of the speaker gives it its portability.
