DOSS SoundBox Pro+

Although I have a 12 watt Anker bluetooth speaker that sounds great, this one has more volume and added bass, that I really appreciate, as it gives a more robust sound. I purchased this in lieu of a sound bar for my tv and it easily synced up well with my Roku, so once I turn on the tv, I just use the roku remote for volume and mute. Makes viewing very convenient and way more affordable than the ridiculously priced sound bars. Not to mention, if I'm listening to a story or podcast through the Roku, I can just take the speaker with me to another room and keep listening as I get other things done. Of the 3 bluetooth speakers I tested for sound quality (Oonz, Belkin, and this one), I liked this one the best. It's a bit more weighty than the others, but I feel that speaks to the quality of the build of this speaker. I feel it was worth the money spent, and I'm enjoying it. It's easy to charge and lasts a good duration.

I received this speaker as a Christmas gift in 2022. When I first tried to get it to work, I couldn't get it to sync to my laptop computer. I tried messing with it for a while, but finally gave up. I got frustrated because it was just one more thing I had to deal with, and I wasn't in the mood and I didn't want to deal with returning it, so I set it aside. Fast forward to March when I noticed it sitting near my desk. I decided to give it another go since my mother-in-law had taken up to watching shows/movies with me on my laptop. I have been trying to wean her off cable, since AT&T has gotten beyond ridiculous with their TV prices and my wife, and I hardly ever watch cable anymore. Anyway, when I first turned it on, it automatically synced to my laptop. Back in December, I couldn't even get the colors on the speaker to work. Great, it's working (even the colors). so, my mother-in-law and I used the speaker for a few hours, and it worked really well. My 83-year-old mother-in-law really liked it. She said it was nice not having to strain to listen to the show. Even with her hearing aids she has some difficulty hearing. Then I go to use it a second time, and it doesn't work! Now I was really frustrated, but I decided to try and figure out why it stopped working. While messing with it, I decided to choose the headphone mode while in my settings on my laptop. Why not I tried everything else I knew to do, and boom, it worked. There is about 5 to 20 seconds of silence before the sound comes through the speaker when you first turn it on. Now that I can get it to work like it is supposed to, I love it. It has really good sound and the lights are fun. The only issue I still have, is that when I check the battery level for the speaker on my computer it is consistently showing a low battery level even though I have tried to charge it both through my laptop and by connecting it to a wall outlet. The red light goes out after a while when it is plugged in, which to me indicates the battery has been charged. I have used it for several hours and it hasn't quit yet. I decided not to charge it for a while and see what happens. If I can't get it to charge, I will be back to change my review. Update. I let the battery fully discharge while watching a show. I then charged it using my laptop. After a while it did show a full charge and it seems to be keeping up with the amount of charge that should be left based on my usage.

I have had this speaker for 4 years and have used the heck out of it. Its been accidentally left outside in snow, rain, and 100° temps and was perfectly fine. I use it daily and loved it! But it will no longer charge and i believe its because the port to plug the cord into is broken. Im sad I can't use it anymore! Hoping to get another one some day, because this speaker outlasted all the others I have tried, and sounded better than them too! The bluetooth has a pretty far reach, and i took this speaker everywhere. Its been dropped, partially ran over (that was year one), snowed on, rained on, kicked (accidentally lol), left in 100° sun, forgotten in below freezing temps, pecked on by chickens... you name it and this thing has probably lived through it. As you can tell by the photo, this speaker has been put thru it and still sounded amazing. Taken out by its own charging port. RIP.

Very durable, sound quality is great especially with the bass function. Great size and portable. Would be five stars if the lights, when im in the mood to use em went with the music. Easy to connect and even easier to use. Not a bad speaker at all. Works great even on calls.

1 just for my tv, using the aux cable & input. 2 for using the Bluetooth stereo pairing feature with my computer &/or phones. Easy to use them inside or outside. The sound is just amazing for their size. This is exactly what I was looking for. The sound out of these are way better than my computer speakers (IMAC), smart phones (Samsung & iPhone) & tv & better than the other cheapy Bluetooth sound bars I’ve tried. I use the aux input when watching tv & use the Bluetooth with my phones & computers. I record music & have a set of Powerful stereo speakers with a sub already so when I play with my synthesizer/keyboard using it with my computer, recording music or playing music, I use those when I need to play sound loud. But I have to turn on all the equipment just to get good sound quality when I need to just use the computers. I needed a speaker with an aux input to use with my tv, & I took an interest in this brand/model speaker so when I just want to play with my phones or use my computers using Bluetooth I could get good quality sound & these things do the job perfectly/nicely!!!! Way Less expensive than JBL’s or Sony’s or Bose for the stereo pair. Pairing 2 together is a plus & it’s easy to pair setting them up. The sound quality is really good. Not low quality at all. These have a Bass boost feature. They don’t distort when full blast. Perfect for my sweet spot. I grabbed a pair of these in my favorite color (blue) for stereo pairing use, they sound great, or you can just use the one by itself, it sounds great, & the lights are a plus. These are Way Better than the $20/30/40 Bluetooth speakers & comes with lights. I don’t know yet about the battery life. They’re just for use when I’m relaxing with my phones, or using with the computers so they are plugged in all the time (always fully charged). I am totally impressed with this brand & model. If your a sound junkie & could afford it go with the expensive ones (JBL’s, Sony, Bose). If your just looking for an inexpensive quality Bluetooth speaker or pair these are pleasers. I am a very happy camper & glad I bought these. Highly recommended! I’ll buy these again if or when I need to.

I purchased this speaker along with the Anker Soundcore Boost and the Aomais Sport II+ All 3 are great sounding speakers. The Aomais doesn't get as loud as the others but it is cheaper in price and for the price sound good. It's much more rugged if that's what your're looking for. The Anker has such great sound for the size that it is, which is the smallest of the 3. I listen to it and wonder how such a big sound can come from something so small. It has a BassUp button which for obvious reasons, but is more effective when the volume is at a lower level. Higher and you really don't notice a change in the bass and may distort a little but still sounds great without the BassUp. The Anker looks more elegant, it can go with anyone's fancy living room decor and blend in. This speaker really is nice. That said, I like the Doss the most. Mind you, it has more watts and is the priciest. What sets it apart for me is the bass. I sat these 3 speakers side by side and listened one at a time and let's face it, bass is king. The Doss definitely has the best bass response of the lot. You can hear the bass roll on the bass notes if you know what I mean. There is an extra bass button and even at higher volumes, you don't get that distortion. The highs and mids aren't lacking either but most speakers have those, its the bass that is harder to find and this speaker has the power. Yes it has a light show but I don't need all that so I turned the lights off, which you can do by pressing and holding the extra bass button a few times. Not as elegant looking as the Anker because this a party type speaker but still looks really nice and sounds even better. And it came in green, my favorite color!!! I recommend all 3, Aomais for good sound around water as fully waterproof or hiking because you can strap it to your backpack. The Anker if you want something smaller in size with huge sound, a speaker that fits with the style of your room, any room. The Doss if you want good clean clear sound with excellent bass to match. Enough said. Only thing I didn't test is the battery life, so you will have to take the product's word for it.

This is one of two I purchased so that I could link them. These have great sound. Bass quality is phenomenal. I use on my Stand up paddle board and my husband has the other. When linked and connected to my phone music app we have awesome SUP music! I just got back from Hawaii and took them with me! They are truly water proof. and although a bit heavy they are great quality in every way. Charge quickly, and hold a charge for ALLLLLL day! I take to work at the grocery store when I stock freight and play music. Lots of folks have asked me about them and I give them the link to this speaker. We even use on our party barge as volume is quite sufficient.

I've owned a Doss Soundbox Touch for a couple of years and use it with my PC. I now have an Echo Show and decided I wanted a speaker to pair with it to give me the ability to play songs off a micro sd card if I took the speaker outside. Since I had such good luck with the Touch I ordered the Pro+. This little speaker has amazing sound quality and plenty loud for what I need. I'm very impressed. I had the speaker paired to the Show in a couple of minutes. I didn't think I'd care for the lights but I like them every now and again and they're easy to turn on and off. The speaker is solid, well made. The rubberized coating is very nice. The one problem I had was of my own making. When I play music from the micro SD card I like it to shuffle. To do this you have to email Doss Support to download firmware to make the change to shuffle. I emailed them, downloaded the firmware. However, the speaker would not recognized the firmware and I drove the poor support person, Alicia, crazy until I figured out what was wrong. I downloaded the file named 'Upgrade.FWN' twice. One copy went to my PC and the second to a micro sd card for insertion in the speaker. Well, unbenounced to me since the copy that went to the sd card was the 'second' download, the computer renamed it 'Upgrade (1).FWN. After a day of back and forth with Alicia I finally figured out what it was and removed the '(1)' from the file name. Once I did that the speaker accepted the firmware and everything was fine. Sorry Alicia.
