Portronics SoundDrum1 Sound Quality-

Starting with the Highs of Portronics SoundDrum1 in Short ita bit sharp and also there’s a bit of artificial sounding. Because of that sometimes it exceeds the normal range. At some point there’s a disadvantage and advantage. The advantage is that the vocal are clear and sharp and it works well for Podcast or Interview or vocals. On the other hand for music where it need to maintain the normal level because of the sharpness it gets a bit high. However this might be a personal choice as well.

At maximum the volume used to get crackle and with that reason maintain the volume at 60 to 70 percent. There’s a chance of reducing the crackling sound or distortion.

Now the vocals or the mid frequencies are really sharp and bright. The vocal are upfront if you’re preference is in vocal than you might like this one. In short the vocals are crisp and clear. But when combining the three frequencies there’s a sharpness on the mid frequency. For Podcasts it will work well but for Music or Song it might not well because of over sharpness.

The bass is little disappointing, it doesn’t mean that the bass is not present, it’s there but its missed the thump factor or the boomy.

The sound output cannot be said it’s balance the reason is that it produce more sharpness in highs and mids and even at maximum volume there’s a distortion.

Should You Buy The Portronics SoundDrum1?

The Portronics SoundDrum1 is not a top notch Bluetooth Speaker in short its an average speaker with average price. Meaning it doesn’t have that quality but fot the price of ₹.1,599 it’s good.

All the products are not same so all the preference are same. If you’re focus is more on the vocals sides it can give you a benefit because this speaker works well with more focus on vocals like Podcasts etc. As far the music is concerned its doesn’t have the balance quality the highs and mids are sharpness are a bit high and there’s also no thump or boomy bass.

Finally, If you are in search of a speaker that more focus on the vocals side you can give a try. But for music you can give a try on another speaker.
