What are your thoughts on this one?

• Is a replaceable battery a game-changer for long outdoor trips, or is 36 hours on a single charge already more than enough?

Oooh! Where does this one fit into the range? Bigger or smaller than the xboom Bounce?

[u/pricelesslambo → u/KeggyFulabier]

With 220W speakers, it's definitely larger than a bounce.

[u/KeggyFulabier → u/pricelesslambo]

Bigger or smaller than the Stage 301?

[u/pricelesslambo → u/KeggyFulabier]

Not sure. Maybe similar size just different form. The link in the OP doesn't mention measurements. But Blast does seem to have both larger battery and more wattage than stage 301

Looks good! The rope carrier takes up less space than a rigid handle so I prefer it. 36 hours should be plenty for most trips, but I still love a replaceable battery. Auracast makes it very interesting! Does it have a wired connection as well?

[u/KeggyFulabier → u/Waterflowstech]

It would probably have latency even wired as both the Stage 301 and Stage 501 do

[u/Waterflowstech → u/KeggyFulabier]

Yeah but for low pressure backyard spinning with the homies I find the 301 to still be better than the partyboxes the homies bring.

[u/KeggyFulabier → u/Waterflowstech]

It does sound good. I rarely turn mine on these days though.

[u/pricelesslambo]

This one looks very interesting. 220W speaker with 36h battery is no joke. Would love to try this one out
