Has it ever happened to you that you prepare a party on your terrace, have everything ready, turn on your speaker and it turns out that your neighbor had the same idea? The problem, as happened to me some time ago, is usually that neighbor has a better speaker than yours and that battle is obviously lost for you.

However, there are options on the market that will help you win this battle every time it comes your way. That’s why we present here four options for sound towers and speakers with enough power and capacity to be the best in sound duels.

The first option comes from Japan and is called XV900. It is designed to fill the sound space in different locations thanks to the X-balanced speaker unit. Thanks to this new design, it offers more sound pressure and reduces distortion.

It includes the Mega Bass function, which allows you to adjust the bass so that it is more powerful and deeper. In addition, it has the Live Sound mode, which recreates a sound atmosphere as if you were where it came from.

It has a TV Sound Booster function, which amplifies the sound of the television. It uses deep bass and high-frequency sound to fill the room for a fuller audiovisual experience, even when watching live video or movies. It can be connected to any make and model of television using an optical cable.

From the same brand we have a smaller and more portable model, such as the XG300, a portable speaker weighing about 3 kg and with a rather peculiar appearance. At first glance, what attracts the most attention in the design are the dimensions and the materials used in the construction.

The entire cylindrical body of the loudspeaker is covered with an acoustic fabric so that it does not interfere with the sound quality. It features the Party Connect option, which allows you to combine up to 100 wireless speakers that are compatible with the technology bluetooth and sync the music. In addition, the Stereo Pair function allows you to connect two speakers wirelessly for a wider stereo sound. Both functions are activated in the Sony Music Center application.

Sony has made good use of the size of the Sony XG300 by integrating a high-capacity battery that, according to the brand, is capable of keeping the party going for 25 hours. Fast charging provides 70 minutes of playback time with just 10 minutes of charging. It will be fully charged in about 5 hours with the charger that comes in the box.

Now we move to Korea and, hand in hand with Samsung, we will talk about the Sound Tower. Samsung’s ST40B and STB50B sound towers are specially designed for music both indoors and outdoors. The 160-watt and 240-watt amplifiers deliver wall-to-wall, two-way sound, respectively.

Both speakers are IPX5 certified, which means they can withstand extreme outdoor conditions such as rain, humidity, dust and insects.

This speaker can also be paired with TVs with Bluetooth. bluetooth and you can add a second Sound Tower and link the two in stereo mode, or group up to ten sound towers together in Group Play mode for even greater coverage. All you need to do is download the free Samsung Sound Tower mobile app to adjust the sound and change the light mode.

The Sound Tower has a built-in high capacity battery that lasts up to 18 hours.

In the same country, we turn to the possibilities offered by LG with its XBOOMs. There are three models in this family: the RNC9, the RNC7 and the RNC5. The eldest of the brothers, 9, has a double woofer, Super Bass Boost technology and other features designed to enhance bass details. The other two models contain only one.

The clever design generates additional airflow behind the speaker, producing much deeper bass tones that make the 1000W power feel feel.

On the connectivity level, it can pair with up to three phones at the same time that can share music playback tasks, while the apps DJ for iOS and Android offers more sound effects and other equalization settings. And if you have two speakers, you can sync them to double the sound power of a true surround system. (JO)
