When talking about the brand of AUVIO, most of us will think about electronics products with affordable price and so-so quality. I had the feeling when I reviewed the AUVIO Bluetooth portable speaker<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That was the first edition of AUVIO portable speakers and honestly I was not impressed at all. I played music on the device for just a few hours because its quality is below average in my view.<\/p>\n

Despite the average quality, this speaker was selling quite well as its price is almost the lowest in the category (other portable speakers like Beats Pill<\/a> cost no less than $150). Therefore, I was so curious when RadioShack offered the updated version of that speaker for review. Let’s check out the AUVIO PBT1000 portable speaker.<\/p>\n

Design<\/h2>\n

The AUVIO PBT1000 keeps a similar design as its predecessor. We still see the gorgeous\u00a0grille with contoured wave pattern covering speakers inside. The control buttons are kept on top but their layout was redesigned. The buttons include Play\/Pause\/Answer Call button, skip buttons and volume rocker buttons. All of them are now placed on a diagonal line and the top looks much more elegant and neater. The glossy surface on top is also replaced with a matte one that is scratch and fingerprint proof.<\/p>\n

Another noticeable change is on the front and back surfaces, they are tilted backward and make the whole speaker much more impressive. There are also some changes on the back. We can spot some new ports, switch and a rear port tube to enhance the bass sound.<\/p>\n

The only issue is its size as it could be too big to carry around. You absolutely don’t want to add 2 more pounds of the big box to your backpack.<\/p>\n

Sound Quality<\/h2>\n

The AUVIO PBT1000 is significantly bigger than its original version, therefore, I expect a lot in its sound quality. Check out the video I recorded below, it is just for reference because the sound can’t be reproduced accurately after being recorded on my camera.<\/p>\n
