First LookThe DOSS Touch Wireless Bluetooth SoundBox has a nice looking appearance. It is only 6.6 x 2.9 x 2.7 inches and weighs 1.23 pounds very light weighted device, but can deliver a high quality sound.

Easily switch between your 3 options of how to play your SoundBox (Bluetooth, Micro SD, Aux-In). It comes in four colors, black, red, white and blue.

Pairing Even though the DOSS Touch is a wireless speaker, it also comes with a line-in slot that you can use aux cable to connect to your device. Additionally, the DOSS Touch has a Bluetooth version on 4.0, and it is equipped with advanced technology and compatible with all Bluetooth devices. To complete the pairing process, simply make sure that your smartphone or tablet has Bluetooth turned on and enabled. Next, press and hold the play button. The ring on the top will begin to blink alternating colors. At this time, you should see the “DOSS SoundBox” on the list of available Bluetooth connections. Select it and the pair is complete. The SoundBox would automatically reconnect to the last device used.

SoundWe will all agree that the most important thing about buying a speaker is to get a good quality sound. DOSS really did a good job on this device when it comes to quality sound. The device comes with two speakers each has 6-watts drivers together you get 12-watts. 12-watts drivers may not seem to be a whole lot, but they definitely provide satisfactory performance in our viewpoint. With this size of the speaker and from our test, the device delivered the same sound quality for different music. The difference in the bass will depend on the music. This SoundBox has almost less than 1% harmonic distortion ensures enhanced clarity and fidelity. It is really hard to explain how good a speaker is without a real sound.

DurabilityOn Amazon, the product description for the device states that this SoundBox is good for outdoor activities, and they are right, but only for sunny days. For a portable speaker to be classified as good for outdoor activities, it has to be water resistant. This SoundBox, on the other hand, is not waterproof, so remember that whenever you take it outside you will not let it catch water. Other than that, this device is well built that it can survive so many falls. Again, it may survive fall but not scratch. The top of the device is a bit shiny and slicker which will get most of the scratch. If you take good care of it, you will not get any scratch on it. Besides the top, the exterior is made of high-quality materials.

Battery LifeFrom our test, we find out that the battery last longer when we used the aux cable,
Remember this product does not come with aux cable you have to buy that separate. The DOSS Touch has a built-in Li-Ion 2200mAh rechargeable battery guarantees up to 12 hours playtime in 65% volume. When you set the volume to maximum the battery lasts up to 10-11 hours, it varies sometimes. The battery can be recharge in just 3-4 hours with the micro USB cable. The battery lifespan may vary in different factors.
