Portronics SoundDrum P 20W Portable Bluetooth Speaker with 6-7 hrs Playback Time, Handsfree Calling, USB Slot, Aux-in Port, Type C Charging (Black)

The media could not be loaded. I've attached an audio sample for reference. Video is recorded with AAC codec. The speaker is playing at 50% volume while being connected to my laptop using aux mode.It got so loud while recording this that I had to move out of the room, shut the door and put on my ANC headphones :PPros:1. Made in India by an Indian Brand2. GOAT Bass (has 2 bass radiators so no surprise)3. Great audio clarity and wide frequency response range4. BT v5.35. Really solid build quality6. Looks and feels more premium than its price segment7. Has a carrying/hanging strap8. Great I/O ports selection9. Supports both SBC and AAC10. Getting almost 24 hour battery life while switching the volume level anywhere between 10 to 30% and playing various types of multimedia, takes almost 2 to 2.5 hours to charge fully when connected to 10 W adapter, the LED light at the back remains red when charging and switches off when fully charged11. Comes with Mic (haven't used it yet)12. Lastly, it's damn loud. I personally never use it above 10% volume (in aux mode). This also results in stellar battery life.Cons:1. No FM Radio support2. No TWS Pairing support3. No official IP rating (unofficially it's splash proof due to its design)4. No app support (like Mivi, Tribit etc)5. Battery shown when connected via BT is 100%, 70% and 40%, after that you will get 'Battery Low' warning when it's really low.6. Speaker reduces its loudness when the battery drops at the 40% level. What you listened at volume level 10 will now be 16-20.7. No battery indicating LEDs like boAt Stone 352, 1208 etc.8. When connected to my laptop (running Windows 11 and having BT v5.0), at lower volume levels volume progression is not consistent. Either volume is too low or too high (this issue is specific to Windows PC).9. When connected to Windows via BT, it doesn't increase volume at every level (like 0/2/4/6 etc). From 0 to 4 there's no sound, 6-10 it's level 1, 12-16 it's level 2, 18-24 it's level 3 and so on. To fix this, use the speaker in aux mode and turn the speaker volume to its maximum using its + button. This will give you accurate volume controls.10. Speaking of speaker volume controls, you have to press and hold +/- button to increase/decrease volume, as pressing them once changes tracks (this doesn't work in aux mode), so it becomes quite difficult to set the desired volume level through speaker.11. BT range is 30 ft when there's line of sight, and 15 ft when there's obstruction in between.I bought it for ₹2099, I know it retails for lower sometimes, but my almost 5 year old boAt Rugby (10 W) started showing signs of ageing and I needed a replacement ASAP, as I use my BT speaker with my Windows laptop (for obvious reasons ;).Anyways, even at this price, it's really VFM, however wait if you can till some kind of sale arrives and you get this for a lower price.Would suggest Portronics to add FM Radio support and battery indicating LEDs to all of its SoundDrum series and above, it's really a feature that people need, not always but it's something you can count on when needed.P.S.- When keeping the speaker upright, ensure that the surface beneath it is soft and dust free, otherwise it will damage the surface of the rubberised base.

Sound quality is great. Although i wanted different colour for newness but other colours were 200 more expensive. This speaker has average look but quality wise its great. Weight is around 880 grams.Connectivity wise its great, it has an aux,port C,USB connector and Bluetooth offcourse. Overall its a value for money.

Its a beast .. wonderful purchase and sound quality is mind-blowing.. terrific purchase

got the speaker today, purchased any speaker for the first time after intense online searchand the first impression is very positive, the product is value for money, rich sound output, long battery life, rugged attractive portable design and the bass is feelingly visible.Rest see, how long it stays with me.Best product at this price.

Size: 10/10 - Portable and lightweightBass: 9/10 - Could be betterLoudness: 8/10 - If you have lot of empty space, then you can hear it at distance, but if you go to other rooms, it will not sound loud.Connectivity: 8/10 - Connects easily through bluetooth, usb port, aux, and sd card but when you disconnect it through bluetooth, you have to manually turn off the speaker, which is a downside at this price.Vocal clarity: 9/10 - When bass is high, vocals are little unclear but its unnoticible.Packaging: 8/10 - Warranty card is smallCharging: 8/10 - Nice speed but not the bestDesign: 8/10 - Bass woofers are on both sides, so one side gets covered.Overall, great! Go for it, you won't regret buying it. It's the best speaker under 2000rs in my opinion.

I recently purchased this portable Bluetooth speaker and I’m genuinely impressed with its performance. It delivers a powerful 20W sound output with clear vocals and deep bass, making it perfect for travel or home use. The Bluetooth connectivity is fast and stable, and its compact design makes it easy to carry anywhere. The only minor issue is that it heats up slightly while charging, but overall it’s a great value-for-money speaker with solid build quality and rich sound. "Small in size, loud in soul- this speaker truly rocks the roll." 🎶

All is well

Review after 5 days of use.Everything is best. Only vocals are not clear. Bass is on higher side. So go ahead accordingly.
