Customer Ratings & Reviews

Being a music lover, I can’t imagine my life without music, so speakers are always a means of accommodating this enthusiasm. I own both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi-enabled speakers, and for each technology, I have my own pros and cons. Bluetooth speakers offer freedom from network issues, while they limit streaming flexibility from multiple devices compared with Wi-Fi speakers. However, Bluetooth speakers are still great to use because I don’t have to deal with network issues, and I can carry them around depending on the size of the speaker. That being said, I would like to share my experience with this Hisense VoyageBoom Bluetooth speaker. For starters, this speaker is a complete entertainment system designed to serve both indoor and outdoor settings. It definitely has a nice look and a powerful presence for what it offers. The speaker is large and heavy due to the size of the battery as well as its build quality. It has excellent build quality, and nothing about it feels cheap. Setup was easy: just plug in the power cord and open the rubber-sealed door on the back to connect the power and let it charge until the battery charging indicator on the front stops blinking, indicating that the battery is fully charged. It took between four and five hours to fully charge. It’s worth noting that the speaker also serves as a power bank through its USB-A port, which is housed on the back. The ConnectLife app is needed not only to connect to the speaker but also to access its settings. The speaker features deep bass and Auracast technology for pairing with more speakers and synchronizing music across all compatible speakers. This is useful when you need to extend coverage or move from one area to another while keeping the music synchronized. The first thing I noticed when I played my first batch of music tracks was the sound quality. This Hisense speaker delivered powerful audio and punchy bass. The dual-bass-level feature is great, along with the powerful subwoofer. The onboard controls are ergonomic and easy to use. Even though the app offers complete control of the speaker, having physical control buttons is always good to have. I did not calculate the exact playback time, but I was listening to music for more than 10 hours, and the battery was still over 60%, with the ambient lights on. That is very practical and makes the speaker a joy to use. For outdoor use, the speaker offers great weather resistance. It has an IP67 rating, which protects it from dust, splashes, and rain. While the ambient lighting can be considered primarily aesthetic, to me, it adds more joy and character to the speaker. Beyond its sound quality, Hisense designed this to be a complete music utility. It has an FM radio, a built-in power bank, and microphone and guitar inputs. You also get a USB port for music playback and for charging compatible devices through its built-in power bank. These features make the VoyageBoom much more versatile than a typical Bluetooth speaker. If you are hosting a gathering, having the ability to connect to a microphone or guitar can turn the VoyageBoom into a small portable entertainment system. One thing to keep in mind, however, is its size. Due to its massive size and weight, this speaker isn’t something you can simply throw into a backpack. It is portable, but it is definitely designed more for moving between locations than for carrying around all day. One thing to focus on is its size; due to its massive size and weight, this speaker can’t be thrown in a backpack. One thing also to mention here, that startup/shutdown chime can’t be tuned off.

PROS Worked correctly 1st time out of the box Excellent Android App Convenient Carry Handle Built-in FM Receiver CONS Heavy Lacks Spaciousness Lacks LDAC & Spatial Audio Support Does Not Charge via USB-C HISENSE CONNECT APP I can find little fault with Hisense Connect app. It has worked great since installation. All app functions and changes are easy to find and make. It is laid out very logically and took next to no time to find all essential and non-essential functions. Well done, Hisense. The only quibble with the app is that it needs another layer of proof-reading. Not a deal breaker by any means, but noticeable. SOUND QUALITY Audio reproduction is pleasant enough. I do find the tweeters a bit bright and harsh. The Hisense does require different EQ presets that I typically don't use for my other wireless speakers. I look for EQ settings that dial back the upper octaves quite a bit and help squash that bright treble. Once dialed back, the Voyage Boom can be pleasant sounding. This is the exact opposite of the bass output. I find the VoyageBoom a little weaker in the bass output than the segment's best. However, I do like that the bass doesn't feel faked or overly bloated like some of the others' speakers in this segment. One thing that the Hisense doesn't do as well as some of my other speakers, is the spaciousness of its soundstage. Other competitors' speakers offer a much broader and convincing reproduction of a large, powerful soundstage. The Hisense is much more limited, and audio is substantial narrower and easier to pinpoint. This could partly be due to its lack of support for spatial audio. BATTERY LIFE Battery life has been excellent. Hisense claims up to 24 hours of playback. I've been using it for hours and hours and my speaker is still at 60% battery life. I don't think I'll get 24 hours, but I'm listening at above average volumes and maximum bass output. So, I don't think Hisense claims are unrealistic. The VoyageBoom is holding up well in battery life. A miss for me is the fact that this speaker does not charge via USB-C. It requires a dedicated 110V power source to charge. That is a HUGE miss in my books. Every other wireless speaker I've reviewed charges via USB-C. It is so convenient, and in the off chance a speaker does require charging, can be topped off with any phone power bank. Not the Hisense. CONVENIENCE The built-in carrying handle is beefy. It's very convenient having it a part of the speaker. Unlike my other portable units, I don't have to worry about a fabric strap coming loose at its buckle and potentially falling on the ground causing damage. It's a good thing that built-in handle is stout because this speaker has some heft. When I first picked it up, I was surprised at just how heavy it is. One thing that I think I really need to give a shout out for is the inclusion of built-in FM tuner. Yes, I know that FM may be outdated and is being replaced by whatever streaming service the user may choose, but I think the inclusion of an FM tuner is real win and Hisense deservers kudos for including a feature that sets them apart from the rest. Like other devices in this category, the Hisense ecosystem supports linking the VoyageBoom to another VoyageBoom, a FlexBoom or a WeBoom, to make a stereo pair. These speakers can even be linked via Auracast to transmit audio throughout a space. It's slick and it's a must-have inclusion to remain competitive in this saturated field. CONCLUSION The VoyageBoom is a good, wireless speaker. Audio quality is good and battery life is excellent. If you are already in the Hisense ecosystem, this would make a good addition. If you are shopping for a wireless speaker, the VoyageBoom has a lot to offer. RECOMMENDED

To be honest, Bluetooth speakers of all sizes and shapes are a dime a dozen. It's difficult to stand out from the crowd, but I'll say this one goes a long way down that road. Packaging: To start, packaging is simple, just the speaker, power cord and some literature. The power cord isnt even unique, so if you lost it, it's easy to replace. Use: Here's the fun part. It 'just works'. There's so few things these days that 'just work'. You dont have to download an app (yes it has one, but it's not needed). You just turn it on, pair it with your source and off to the races. There's no muddling with excessive settings, the buttons on the front are simple and straightforward. The most complicated one is the one that most people wont ever need, which has to do with pairing this speaker with other speakers of the same style, which is a cool feature if you need such a thing. Outside of that it's simple audio controls, FM radio and bluetooth. The sound quality is good without being groundbreaking, but it doesn't really need to be, it's a party speaker and it's designed to be loud and look fun and it accomplishes those things. It's portable with good battery life and has a USB port to plug in a device so it can be used as a power bank as well. The lighting has a few different modes, most of which are sound reactive and can be cycled through by pressing the simple lighting button. The speaker itself is a bit on the heavy side, but I'd rather that with long life and good sound than something that runs out of batteries quickly and doesn't have the quality or volume I'd hope for. I haven't tested this but it says it's waterproof also, so if you use it next to the pool or it's out in the rain it's not going to ruin it. Overall: It's a fun speaker, accomplishes exactly what it set out to, gets loud, looks good and doesn't require an app to use. It just works and that's great.

The Hisense VoyageBoom is a bold take on the bluetooth speaker with a few novel features that make it a little different from the BT speakers you're used to. But as ambitious as it tries to be, it still falls short in some key areas that prevent me from giving it a fully enthusiastic recommendation. Some key observations about the VoyageBoom: 1. The build quality is good, but the unit is extremely heavy for a portable speaker. There is a beefy battery and it also doubles as a powerbank for charging mobile devices, and the overall body is solid but still, this is a very heavy speaker. It is also large, but the weight still feels dense, like lugging a dumbbell around. There's a good solid handle which is important but you will tire of carrying this around especially if you are lugging around other things like a cooler or beach chair. 2. The sound is just average. This is one of the bigger disappointments about this unit. It just sounds a bit flat and the sides are the woofers for bass, but the center has a bunch of mesh and speakers that honestly just sound mono. I will play with this some more but my other BT speakers do much better with spatial sound and bass and they are smaller and lighter. 3. There's a bunch of inputs on this big huge IP68 shield on the back. Some problems here though, the powerbank feature is only USB-A, which means you need USB-A to USB-C cables instead of also including a USB-C connection for smaller devices. You also have some inputs for microphone and even guitar which could be interesting for impromptu party MC'ing or Karaoke, but I do not have a microphone to test with this. I do plan to pick one up so my kids can play with this. The power cable is a figure-8 style 2-pole connector which is nice as this tends to charge faster than USB-C input, and it is standard and not some wall wart and random pin style plug. 4. The styling of the unit is kinda schizophrenic. It wants to look boring/buttoned up but it also has some flair elements and party lights because its a party speaker.... I don't love how it looks honestly, it looks like something on the lower end of the spectrum. 5. The Hisense ConnectLife is actually excellent and the only way I would attempt to use some features, like the FM radio. It gives full functionality of the device without having to do the multi-clicks on the body of the VoyageBoom. You can change input source, volume, EQ mode (opens up custom). You can also try to use Stereo mode (with another Hisense speaker) or Auracast, which lets you link together all your Hisense devices??? Idk about you but I don't have a ton of other Hisense speakers, I do have their TVs which are excellent but I wasn't able to link those up. Also, fun fact, those 5 little lights on top are actually the power level haha. Took me awhile to figure that out and it only became clear once I tried to charge it and it showed the power %, each dot is 20% battery life. The VoyageBoom is a good BT speaker that has some good ideas, but needs some work on the basics, like portability and sound quality. It'll still be great for my kids and their friends and I can see them using this for their talent show to try and use it to sing with the mic functionality.

My time with the Hisense Voyage Boom changed the way I thought about what a portable speaker is supposed to be. Rather than trying to function as an audiophile instrument or a polished lifestyle accessory, it feels purpose-built for loud, messy, unpredictable environments. At more than fourteen pounds, it is too large to disappear into the background and too heavy to mistake for a casual grab-and-go speaker. What it lacks in acoustic refinement and portability, however, it makes up for with enormous volume, rugged construction, and a surprising amount of practical utility. After spending time with it on my patio, around the backyard, and while moving it in and out of the house, I came to see it less as a piece of hi-fi equipment and more as a heavy-duty party machine. A quick disclaimer: I did not fiddle with the app so much and that is what I prefer with my speakers and headphones. I prefer handling them straight out of the box, mainly because the factory settings should be good enough for everyday use; at least that is what I feel. With so many apps and connections clamoring for attention in our lives, factory settings have begun to matter more and more to me nowadays. My first impression came the moment I pulled the Voyage Boom from its packaging. The weight was impossible to ignore. At over fourteen pounds, it immediately felt more like an industrial tool than something I would casually throw into a backpack. That impression became reassuring rather than inconvenient when I placed it on the back patio. The heavy rubber bumpers and dense outer shell gave me confidence that the speaker could handle the kind of accidents that tend to happen during an outdoor gathering. An errant kick, a knocked-over drink, or an unexpected rain shower did not make me feel as though I had to constantly protect the speaker. Instead, I could leave it outside and focus on whatever else was happening. The real test came when I started turning up the volume. Once I pushed it beyond fifty percent and moved into the open backyard, the Voyage Boom demonstrated what it was built to do. Instead of simply getting louder, the speaker seemed to project its sound physically into the space around me. Bass-heavy electronic music and hip-hop tracks produced enough low-frequency energy that I could actually feel the bass through the ground beneath my feet. In a crowded outdoor setting, that physical presence made the speaker feel considerably larger than a typical portable Bluetooth unit. Living with that sound, however, also exposed its limitations. The aggressive bass emphasis that made party music so entertaining was less flattering with other types of material. Vocals could become recessed, while the finer details of acoustic instruments were often lost beneath the low-end energy. I noticed this especially during longer listening sessions, when the novelty of sheer volume gave way to a closer examination of the sound itself. At roughly seventy-five percent volume and above, the speaker's processing became increasingly noticeable. The digital signal processing did its job of protecting the drivers from excessive distortion, but it also changed the character of the music. Deep sub-bass became less pronounced, the dynamics flattened, and the treble began to sound strained in the open air. The result was impressive in terms of sheer output, but less satisfying when I wanted musical subtlety. The speaker's physical design created a similar mixture of strengths and compromises. Moving it from the garage to the patio was relatively easy because of the rigid top handle, and loading it into the trunk of a car was manageable. Carrying it any significant distance, though, was another matter. When I tried moving it around a campsite or imagining a trip from a parking area down to a beach, its weight quickly became noticeable. I found myself wishing for shoulder-strap anchor points, particularly because the speaker is clearly designed for outdoor use. The lack of them makes the Voyage Boom feel more cumbersome than it needs to be. Where the speaker surprised me most was in how useful it became once I stopped treating it simply as a speaker. The rear-panel connections turned it into something closer to the center of the gathering. During an impromptu backyard karaoke session, I could plug a microphone directly into the unit rather than relying on another piece of equipment. The built-in power bank was similarly useful when friends began running low on phone battery. These features might look like minor additions on a specification sheet, but using them in the middle of an actual afternoon changed my perception of the product. The Voyage Boom was no longer just playing music in the background; it was actively supporting what everyone was doing. Battery life provided another example of the difference between advertised capability and my experience using the speaker. Hisense's claimed twenty-four-hour endurance may be achievable under quieter conditions, but my outdoor sessions were much more demanding. With the volume turned up, bass enhancement engaged, and the RGB lighting active, I saw the battery fall much more quickly. After a long afternoon of loud outdoor playback, roughly ten hours felt like a more realistic expectation for the way I was actually using it. That was still enough to carry an entire party, but it meant I could not simply assume the speaker would be ready for another event the following day without recharging it. In a nutshell: it does the job it is meant for. Recommended. After spending real time with the Voyage Boom, I found that its compromises made more sense when viewed through the kind of experience it is designed to deliver. It is not particularly light, refined, or discreet, and its sound can become rough when pushed hard. But those shortcomings are balanced by the things I repeatedly appreciated in actual use: the confidence of its rugged construction, the ability to fill a large outdoor space with powerful sound, and the convenience of having microphone and charging capabilities built into the same unit. Ultimately, the Voyage Boom feels designed for situations where practicality matters more than elegance. When I wanted subtle detail and effortless portability, its size and aggressive tuning worked against it. When I wanted to put a speaker outside, turn the music up, connect a microphone, charge a phone, and stop worrying about whether the equipment could handle the environment, its strengths became much more apparent. My experience with it left me seeing the Voyage Boom not as a conventional lifestyle speaker, but as a deliberately overbuilt party machine—one that succeeds most when the weekend calls for volume, durability, and a little controlled chaos.

TLDR; I think this has everything you look for in a speaker, sounds good, and I am happy with it. I think most would be too. The build is good, solid, and it has a nice weight. It might be a tick bigger than some, but I think it sits nicely in between tiny carry arounds and giant party speakers. I have no concerns about durability or portability. Buttons are pretty standard, are responsive, and work well. All in all, I like the build. When it comes to design, I also like the look. It looks like a speaker, sure, but it almost has a retro boom box look to it that is a bit different than most out there. I typically like straight clean lines, kind of boring things, but for some reason I am liking it. This is a personal thing, so just take that for what it is worth. As are my feelings about RGB. I don’t normally like it, and honestly, I could do without it here, but they have done a good job with it. It is subtle, minimal, and clean. Using it surely decreases battery life, which I found to be about as rated and good enough for my needs. Connections are easy, quick, and consistent. Further, there are quite a few input options that offer some nice versatility. Beyond Bluetooth, you have Mic, Aux, and USB. I am more than covered here. Options are appreciated. Once up and running, the speaker is simple to use and control. As I mentioned earlier, the buttons all work well and as with everything, there is an app. You can control some things there as well dig in to some settings, get updates, etc… Honestly, the app is ok, not much more, but it does what it needs to. I don’t think you need it regularly, so it is not an issue for me. As for sound, I think it both sounds good and gets quite loud. It fills spaces. Sound is balanced and clean, and while I have not “maxxed it out” to this point, I have not really experienced any distortion so far. I was quite surprised by the low end. There was some punch behind it, and they offer 2 levels on their “bass boost” which I am not sure I have ever seen before. Bass is often lacking, in everything, so I was happy to have and feel it with this speaker. Lastly, there a few little “add-ons” that may have varying levels of importance to you, but I thought were nice to see. There are some casting options that allow you to stream to multiple devices. There is live FM radio, which kind of stunned me, and I really liked. It is a small thing, but so good, and I don’t know why more don’t offer it. Finally, if needed, you can use the speaker as a battery to charge your devices. Not sure how useful that ends up being for me, but it Is more functionality, and value added. In the end, I like this speaker. It has everything I need in a speaker, it performs well and sounds very good. I can grab it, use it, and enjoy it pretty much everywhere, the battery lasts, and I don’t have to worry about the occasional clumsy person that may knock it over or spill something on it. I think for all of that, I think it is a really solid value.

I have had the Hisense VoyageBoom speaker for a week now. So far, I am highly impressed with everything that Hisense has done with it. The VoyageBoom is mostly spot on with build quality and sound but there are a couple points I do want to point out for anyone looking to pick this up. My first impression of the speaker was that it was much heavier than I was expecting. I checked and it showed only 15lbs but it was very dense. While heavy, it also feels very durable and strong. This speaker is advertised as a go anywhere device that is water and dust proof, which I think is really great. The front of the speaker has the controls for volume, power, BT, lights, bass and shows the battery life. I believe there are 5 settings for the lights. Most go with the beats of the music being played, while others do not. All the light optoins are nice to watch. I think my favorite is actually the first option that the Voyage Boom is set on. I like that there are several options to choose from. The back of the speaker has a thick rubber flap that hides 5 other inputs: power for the AC cable, mic, aux, usb and lastly an equalizer button. The usb can also be used as a charger as well. The charging can take awhile if the battery is low. If planning a party or getting together, I would say to charge the speaker the day prior. Hisense has not listed the official size, so going by the weight, time to charge, I would say pretty big. A full battery charge lasted me about 4 days of using the bluetooth from a tablet. I feel it could last almost a week with moderate use, which is good to know. On the second day I had the Voyage Boom, we lost power for a couple of hours. This was the perfect time to test out the other functions. I wanted to use my tablet to listen to music while I waited for the power to come back. I found out that my tablet was also on the verge of dying from low battery. I was able to get my tablet over half charged by the time the power did come back on. I like the utility that Hisense built into it. After all that, I think I may have lost a bar of battery and that is with the party lights going the entire time. The speaker pairs with the app ConnectLife for either Android or Apple. You can control practically everything on the speaker on the app. This also includes another function I haven’t even mentioned yet. The Voyage Boom includes the ability to auracast to other auracast enabled devices. I used it on another device and worked great. Again, the utility is really nice to have and on the go too. The moment you hit power and you hear it come on, you know immediately this thing delivers. The speaker is $300 and does feel like it is worth it. I can see myself using this long into the future for pool parties and to let my daughters use it for their parties and for general use wherever I need it. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a solid, mobile, great sounding BT speaker for any occasion.

The Hisense VoyageBoom is a fantastic Bluetooth speaker that gives off some old school boombox vibes minus the cassette deck. This speaker is a nice middle ground between small portables and larger party or boxed speakers. While this is certainly portable and has a sturdy carry handle, you should know this is not a light speaker, checking in somewhere around 14 to 15 pounds. That isn't a knock, just more of an awareness. With that weight comes a very solid build quality and excellent battery longevity. The plastic housing is thick and durable with no flimsy or weak points that I have found. I did not do any sort of drop testing, but I have confidence this speaker will withstand some less than kind handling. I did, however, test the IP67 water resistance by running my garden hose over the speaker for approximately 5 minutes and it never missed a beat - literally. It kept pounding out the sound and lights with no signs of water permeation to be found. I'm pretty sure this is going to survive a short accidental drop in the pool or rogue wave on the beach or boat. Battery life is phenomenal. The best I could find, the internal battery is approximately 10,400 mAh. I played a solid 8 hours of music during a recent back yard event with no need to charge. There is a power cord included and the speaker does not charge via USB-C so you will need it. Hisense states that a 10 minute charge will get you an additional 2 hours of play, but I cannot verify or disprove that claim. The speaker also can serve as a power bank if you need to charge your phone, but just know this is a USB-A connection and is a paltry 5W. It is nice to have in a pinch though, but don't forget the cable. The RGB lights on either side are a nice touch, but aren't going to fill the room. They are adjustable within the ConnectLife app via presets or a custom pattern. They are bright and vibrant, but again, with only two and the overall size, they are not designed to put on your 4th of July light show. Audio is what you would expect from a portable "party" speaker. The sound is plenty loud for a backyard gathering or small to mid-size room. Within the ConnectLife app there are EQ presets and the ability to customize. There are two additional bass boosts if that's your thing and they certainly add some thump. You really do have to play around and adjust the settings because straight out of the box there is a baseline tin-can sort of sound. I will also say, the further away from the speaker, the better the audio. Standing right next to it is not the best audio experience, even at lower volumes. However, standing across the deck or just a few feet away the sound quality seems to improve and even out. Something I was not able to test, but I think is a nice feature for those who need it, is the addition of microphone or guitar input. Can you connect more than one speaker? Why yes you can via Auracast. This is done within the app and is pretty straightforward. Locate the additional speaker(s) and they just connect. There is a built-in FM tuner, but unfortunately it never found any stations in my area. I do have other devices with tuners that have no issues connecting to stations, but after many, many scans this speaker did not find any. Finally, the ConnectLife app, which ties all this together. This isn't the most robust app, but what it does have included, it does those things well. You can control your lighting, input source, tracks, volume, bass, EQ, Auracast, updates and a few other minor things. I should say you can control volume, tracks, bass, and turn Auracast off/on all from the speaker itself. Setting up Bluetooth was easy, the speaker was easily found and the connection has been rock solid. All-in-all Hisense has created a nice-looking and well-made speaker with great battery life, above average audio, and easy user experience.

The VoyageBoom packs an absolute punch with more features than most other Bluetooth speakers. The Bass is rich and hits harder than any other Bluetooth speaker of its size, but this Boombox is HEAVY! When my wife lifted it for the first time she literally hollered out "OOOoof! I shouldn't have to engage my core!" Thankfully the build feels solid and the plastic handle supports all 15 pounds. The speaker is technically portable, but because it is deceptively heavy...you really don't want to carry it far. Both center speakers are close together - so it doesn't produce a particularly strong stereo effect. Audio is slightly flat, but the impressive bass and powerful volume fill any room and projects well during outdoor use. I am impressed at the number of features squeezed into this speaker, but disappointed by the implementation. For example, the VoyageBoom features an FM radio, but there are no dedicated radio buttons on the device. The FM radio controls can be accessed in the ConnectLife app, or there are options to press and hold physical buttons for a certain amount of time which provides a few seconds of radio control access...a process that will be quickly forgotten. Instead of the multi-speaker connect button should be a radio button. Multiple speakers will not be paired often...especially at this premium price. ...The Mic input on the rear of the device also has no dedicated controls. It should have a volume dial next to the input, but sadly - mic controls are also awkwardly shared with the front buttons. Uniquely, the USB-A input on the rear of the speaker allows for two functions: Phone/Device charging & Audio playback from a thumb drive / memory stick. Playing audio from a USB memory stick has been common place in other countries for YEARS, but has been rare in the US. I sincerely appreciate the ability to play music without pairing to a phone...which stays in my pocket as I frequently walk out of range of the speaker. Simply add a playlist onto a memory stick and continue to use your phone without interrupting the party. Battery life is phenomenal. The speaker takes over 6 hours to fully charge, but it can play music literally ALL day...apparently up to 24 hours. The huge battery really takes the stress out of using the VoyageBoom at a pool party or BBQ. Turn on the radio and let it play all day. I personally think that LED lights look pretty cheesy on Bluetooth speakers, but thankfully customization is super easy. With a steady glow the ambiance is actually pretty cool. The lights aren't particularly bright, but they would provide just enough light to use in a tent while camping. Hisense, if you are reading this review - please move the Auracast button to the back of the device and put a Radio button in its place right on the front. And, the Microphone needs a dedicated volume dial. The handle also needs some rubber on the inside to help with grip. This speaker is a bulky beast and I would hate to drop it. But kudos for killer bass, high volume, and I love the rubber grip on the bottom. Well done. Overall easy to recommend as long as you are okay with how insanely heavy this thing is. Did I mention that it's heavy? IT'S HEAVY )...I literally have to use an underhand grip like I'm curling a dumbbell.)

Okay, it’s been a couple of years since I first started seeing the Hisense brand in commercials and at electronics stores, but I never really paid much attention to it until this summer. It was hard not to see them since they were a big sponsor of the 2026 World Cup. For this reason, I decided to give this Hisense VoyageBoom a try just to see how it compared to some of the other big names out there. It didn’t take more than an hour for me to be very impressed by this Hisense speaker. After two weeks of use, I honestly believe this thing is up there with the likes of Sony, JBL, and Bose when it comes to the quality of the sound and the overall build. I’ve owned several Bluetooth speakers over the years, from mini speakers to party-size speakers, and the audio on this thing made such a good impression on me that I found myself not using my other speakers or even my soundbar when listening to music around the house. The speaker can get nice and loud, and if you download the ConnectLife app, it gives you extra control to tune it to your liking. I highly suggest using it with the app to set it up to your preferred audio profile. I love how it sounds even more after adjusting the equalizer settings with the app. The other big thing for me is the build quality. When I used to hear the name Hisense, I quickly thought it was a cheap alternative to the bigger brand names, but I was completely wrong. This speaker feels solid, durable, and rugged enough to take outside on my camping trips. The RGB lighting is cool for parties, but I mostly have it off at home. I prefer the clean black look. Overall, I’m very impressed with the VoyageBoom because it produces clear sound with strong bass, and the build quality is excellent. I honestly almost want to write to Hisense to apologize for thinking they were a cheap brand before ever even trying one of their products. I think they have a new fan of their products, and this was a great introduction to the brand. 5/5 for me!

First, you'll notice this speaker has a little bit of weight to it but that's because the sound it produces will certainly surprise you or at least it did me. The build is solid and i like the buttons and functions, they're all clearly labeled and it powers up and pairs in no time at all. Inside the box it does come with a standard two prong AC cord (which is awesome that it doesn't have yet another power brick you have to keep track of). The only thing is I wish it had was a place onboard to stow the cord so you have it with you if you take the speaker out and end up needing to charge it though based on my use so far, the battery life is surprisingly good where I have yet to run it fully dead after a week of on/off use after work in the garage. This speaker has some pretty cool features like being able to connect it to a mic, your phone or a USB drive so you have different playback options in addition to a mic connection. In terms of sound, it's loud and has a good amount of thundering bass which is what I had hoped for when I picked it up and felt the weight of it. It would be perfect to do as I did to use in your garage and keep around for the occasional get together or party. You can pair up multiples of these and have even more sound though I wasn't able to try that and after trying this one out I'd say you'd have a pretty good event going with a few of these placed around. The only thing I didn't really care for is the sub speakers being exposed and not behind a grille as being tossed in a car or trunk or back seat I could see them getting damaged. The RGB lighting effects are pretty cool and I thought worked really well seeming to react to the music even if they didn't truly sync to it. It has nice deep punchy bass and loud sound that's perfect for a small gathering or a karaoke party. So far it's been fun and great so I'd absolutely recommend it!!

The Hisense Voyageboom is dynamite sound in an easy to carry size. I wasn't even aware that Hisense had gotten into the Party Speaker or Bluetooth Speaker game but when I saw the Voyageboom I had to give it a try. The speaker is a 272W/360W (Battery/Direct Power) putting out booming sound. The bass is very heavy from a built-in 7.4 x 4.5-inch subwoofer and passive radiators, you'll be able to really feel the music. Connecting and controlling the Voyageboom is done through the Connect Life app, which let's you adjust and customize the EQ and Bass to your preference, change modes (BT, USB, AUX, and FM Radio), and customize the ambient light show. The biggest selling point for me is the portability and durability of the Voyageboom, on a single charge it has 24hrs of play time, an IP67 water/dust proof rating, and a built-in power bank to charge devices. All this makes it great for fishing trips, backyard parties, or for use on the jobsite. I was hard pressed to find anything negative to say about this speaker, but unfortunately I did. The FM Radio was a feature that caught my attention because I still listen to the radio, however there are no physical controls on the speaker to switch between modes and the only way to access it is through the app. Also the antenna is underwhelming, struggling to pick up more than 2-3 stations, this could be a signal strength and interference issue though. Despite this hiccup the Voyageboom is still an impressive bluetooth party speaker, its definitely going to be with me when I'm fishing or grilling and having drinks with my friends.

This is a fun speaker to own. It lights up and it gets super loud. I do have 2 negative things I will start off with. First is that this is heavy. Not the heaviest but not something I would want to have to carry a decent distance away. Second, it does start to distort at max volume range. However, with the second thing that I mentioned above, it is very loud prior to even having to max it out. I do not plan to use this in the rain, but I do like that it is waterproof. You can use this next to a pool and have that mind of ease that it won't get ruined from water. Was easy to also pair with my phone. Overall, I enjoy this speaker for those outdoor times. Even for work. Just know that it does have some weight to it as well as a descent size. I used this with a kart, and it take up half the cart. Not something I would take hiking. If you want a loudspeaker and you are not going to have to hike, this is a great speaker for that. Going to the beach, and you are set up next to your vehicle, this is great as it is plenty loud, and you wont have to use your car speakers. I recommend if you are looking for a nice loud speaker.

The Hisense Voyage Boom is a beast of a portable speaker! I personally love the sound signature of this speaker. I have never owned anything from Hisense and wasn’t really expecting much In terms of sound quality. Boy was I wrong… You get very clear highs and a hard hitting low end if you have the bass boost to at least 1. Overall, the sound is excellent and I was pleasantly surprised. Aesthetically, the speaker looks pretty good. Has a large handle to haul it around. It does have some heft to it so the grab handle is a welcomed feature. The RGB is cool without being overdone. Oh and the battery life is amazing! The ConnectLife app works well. You can update firmware, change the RGB and sound profiles easily with the app. One thing I wish the app had was the ability to turn off the start up/power down sounds. Also, it seemed to take some time to connect to the app once the speaker is turned on which is kind of annoying to deal with every time…Other than that, great app. If you’re looking for a hard hitting Bluetooth speaker give this one a shot. 100% recommend.

For one point, this speaker is the size of a suitcase. Not the best lugging around everywhere, but the sound quality is pretty good. If you have a teenager who needs something for entertainment in his college dorm, this is a good Icebreaker. I do like the fact that it is splash proof dirt proof to be able to use outside or on the beach. The charging is pretty decent. Up to 36 hours on one charge is more than enough for a session of jamming. I'm not sure anybody will use the antenna radio feature, So I feel that is an unnecessary add-on to this speaker since it already has Bluetooth capabilities. I'm having a hard time adjusting bass and treble controls for more balanced experience. It just feels like a loud Boombox. A couple of things going for it though as a party boombox it has an input to play guitar or sing with a microphone. Also, it has a built-in power bank to charge your devices. That's pretty cool. Overall, the speaker is a central hub for parties. It's just big in size and a little heavy
