Customers say
Customers praise the speaker’s bass quality, describing it as incredible and capable of getting really loud, while also appreciating its Bluetooth functionality, portability, and build quality, with one customer noting its premium feel. They like the design and find it easy to set up. The mids and highs receive mixed feedback, and while some find it worth the price, others feel it’s not worth $499.

Lovely, satisfying, sound, powerful clean bass in a size you can easily travel with.
It’s a sweet speaker to listen to for hours. The bass is superb, always a surprise when people hear it for the first time. I’m not a techy audiophile, but I have a good ear for excellent sound quality that is reproduced as recorded. I like to hear the whole spectrum even when there is a lot of bass. Those selections will show this speaker for the powerhouse that it is. If there’s a little bass, it won’t miss it. And the mids and highs are very satisfying.After hearing the one I bought a few weeks ago, listening was so satisfying that I bought another to do a stereo pair. The setup is easy enough but you’ll probably have to go through it a few times before getting everything working. It takes a bit of time for the full setup, don’t expect to do it in 2 minutes. I didn’t use it, but comments say their technical support is excellent.So having a single is great, you won’t take the pair everywhere you would take one, and one is the best sound you can hold on one hand. I have enjoyed the pair, and like the interface very much. You don’t have to get left or right in your placement, it allows you to assign or change the position in the settings to left, right, or both stereo speakers (party mode). I haven’t found a case for mine yet, but I like cases for everything to keep them looking new, so I’m looking at a couple of camera bags that are sized properly.My first impression was that the Brane X is pricey, but after hearing it compared to other equipment in that range, I think it’s a good value, and that’s why you can’t find them discounted for new, and even used ones are very close to new price. I love Amazon’s return policy, and I use it thoughtfully, but it makes a purchase like this one very safe. You have to hear it to be sure, but I think it’s unlikely you’ll return it.

Excellent sound
Update 1.6.25: I spent a lot of time adjusting the eq and have it in the sweet spot that sounds so good. Part of the issue was the bass, it is so powerful it can over power the mids and highs. Once you find the right spot for the bass, the rest is easier to adjust. And like most speakers you need to find that perfect volume where it sounds the best and I did. I love this speaker and listen to it almost daily.Update 1.29.25: I have about 20 hours of listening on the Brane X now. The bass is excellent, the mids/highs are a little warm for my taste. You can adjust the eq but it only cools the speaker down so much. I have 2 JBL PartyBox Stage 320’s. While the 320’s bass is not as low as the Brane X (it still thumps in your chest), the JBL’s overall sound quality is better in every way. The Brane X gets daily use because the Jbl’s are large so I stow them away. So for portability and best bass, the Brane X is preferred. But if I could only own one or two speaker(s), I would choose the JBL PartyBox Stage 320 over the Brane X.Brane is going to be a HUGE company. The bass tech is amazing. Their first attempt into the over crowded portable speaker market is well received.Update 1.16.25: I felt I had an issue with the speakers battery. I worked with Brane customer service through email and phone. Over the course of a few days, they offered to send me a replacement speaker. When the speaker arrived it had a prepaid return label inside. The new speaker appears to have corrected the issue. They were extremely professional, this company is the next big thing. Extremely satisfied.I’ve been searching for the perfect Bluetooth speaker for 15 years. If it sounded good high volume, it sounded thin at low volume. I wanted something that I could take outside yet listen too inside. I wanted a speaker that had bass when I was listening low and having a conversation. Yet I also wanted bass when I turned it louder.I currently have a Marshall Middleton, Marshall Woburn III, JBL PartyBox 310 and two JBL PartyBox 320’s. The Middleton is just OK. The Woburn III sounds excellent at mid/higher volume but not at low volume (not much bass). The JBL PartyBox 310 has nice bass but not at lower volume. The two JBL PartyBox 320’s sound excellent through the entire low/mid/high frequency range but only excellent with bass at mid/high volume.The Brane X hits the sweet spot. It sounds excellent low volume and excellent at mid volume. The bass sounds good at both volumes. I turned it up to around 70%. My wife was in the living room, I was in the bedroom and she said “wow the floor was vibrating”. It just might be that I have found that elusive speaker that I have been searching for, for such a long time.And YES the bass has to be heard/felt to believe all that you have read. It really does hit that hard.I mainly tested it using WiFi/Airplay 2 with Tidal Hi Res files. I noticed the bass seems noticeably better when using WiFi vs Bluetooth.Buy it, you just might be surprised at what you hear. BTW the speaker is very small which makes it more shocking when you hear it.

Big bass, small footprint
I’ve had many bluetooth speakers and this one is special. I like the design, sound, software and value.ProsThe design is clean & purposeful.The bass is the difference maker. The sound is thick and palpable for such a small device.Bluetooth 5.1 & Wifi enabled.Easy to pickup and move.Value is good for what you get.EQ & wifi via the app.Cons:Large charging brick & cord– not exactly conducive for travel & bigger than expected. I leave it in place most of the time so not an issue for me.For me this Brane X model stands out among the many portable speaker out there. If you have a yearning for a very full sound from a small speaker, this is a great solution.
