The verdict

With its built-in subwoofer, the Brane X delivers a whopping bass response. If you're searching for a Bluetooth speaker to rattle your living room, this is the one to do it, although it comes at a premium. While it also offers decent clarity and instrument separation thanks to its stereo playback, at the end of the day, the Brane X is still a portable Bluetooth speaker with limitations unless you buy two.
