The compact Bluetooth speaker Teufel Boomster Go should put "legend Teufel sound" in your hands. But what does legend mean, and how big is your average hand? Testing of small speakers provides the answer.

Square, sturdy, and colorful: With Teufel Boomster Go, there are five colors to choose from, and it costs about 100 Euros, and you can of course steal the horse. If they fight back, the rubber shell should provide adequate protection against hoofs. And, if the beast's defensive capabilities exceed expectations, escape the water if necessary-fortunately, wet objects will not harm the speaker.

Design and Craft

Of course, "stealing a horse" means something different. With Teufel Boomster Go, you can actually walk hard. The workmanship is solid, but not impeccable. Slightly irregular gaps can be seen on the back. However, the feature is clearly in the foreground anyway.

The rear of the speaker weighs about 360 grams and has a practical drawstring attachment that you can use to hold Teufel Boomster's brother firmly in your hand, or attach it to a backpack, for example. practical. This also applies to 1 / 4-inch format tripod threads compatible with GoPro cameras.

The speaker manufacturer in Berlin can accommodate two passive bass drivers on the side. Contrary to a competitor's device (ie JBL), the device on Boomster Go does not always invite you to operate it. They are well protected under strong cover. The front drive is also well protected from mechanical influences behind the grille.

There is also a practical battery level indicator in the form of a small LED. The typical battery life of the Boomster Go is about ten hours, and we can roughly confirm this. Charge via microUSB connection. At the top, you will also find music controls. Of course, like most other speakers, you can also use this Bluetooth speaker as a hands-free device. The built-in microphone also accepts voice commands from Google Assistant or Apple Siri.

Hearing test: this is the voice of Teufel Boomster Go

We can almost bet, and then we win the bet: Teufel Boomster Go sounds great. Growing up is great in the sense. Grow up in a loud and stable state. Compared to Anker's equally compact Soundcore Icon Mini, the latter sells for only 17 euros. Teufel speakers are not overloaded even at maximum volume. He likes bright wailing sounds rather than cursing farmers deeply because the speaker feels more comfortable in the middle and high places. The louder the sound, the more detail is lost somewhere between the grassland and the ear.

Given the compact design, the bass is really neat. For the rumble of a group of mustangs, the youngest son of the sound lacked volume. If you use a drawstring to connect the speaker to a bridle or backpack, you will find the sound is highly directional. If the speaker shakes in the wrong direction, you will immediately notice this in the sound image. If it bothers you, you should use 360-degree speakers, such as Bose's.

If needed, a second copy of Teufel Boomster can be obtained and the two speakers can be operated as a stereo pair. You will then spend around 200 Euros, but you can place the two speakers neatly apart and create a very wide "stage".

Swing hoof!

Teufel Boomster Go can complete the testing process without any obvious disadvantages, and can convince a stereo backpack to be used for synchronized riding when necessary. Good thing-even if it's not cheap! Battery life is a bit short, and we would rather use a USB Type-C port instead of a microUSB connection.
