Kilburn II Black : best BT speaker for the price

2 years ago

I've had this speaker for almost 3 years now. I've used it consistently in a variety of scenarios. It's reliable, has good battery life, sounds great and is fairly portable for what you get with it, despite being a little heavy. The build is sturdy and doesn't show wear at all except for the leather strap handle which is slightly scuffed after nearly 3 years of use.

The equalizer is a unique feature at this price point (as far as I know) and is not a gimmick. The knobs roll really smoothly and the click when you power on the speaker is quite satisfying.

The only cons I could think of are firstly -the sound is quite bass heavy, but that's easily fixed with the equalizer on top. I set the bass anywhere between 4 and 6 and the treble all the way up to 9-10 and it controls the bass quite well.

You can't charge it with a USB cable of any sort, you can only use the charger that comes with it. That's fine by me but someone might find it annoying, since you have to carry the cable around when you're traveling with it.

Overall great product that stands out from the crowd of JBLs and Sonys with great features and an incredible sound to it. Unbeatable at this pricepoint.
