en Salón de electrónica de consumo 2025Anker tiene un par de altavoces nuevos debajo Marca de sonido. El primero es el Soundcore Rave 3S, un altavoz para fiestas de 349 dólares con trucos de karaoke impulsados por IA y espectáculos de luces integrados. A él se une el SoundCore Boom 2 Pro, una continuación más potente del nombre no Pro, que añade unos graves más potentes y una mejor protección contra el agua y el polvo.
El Rave 3S, acertadamente llamado, se describe como un “altavoz de fiesta con IA” con una potencia de salida de 200 vatios y un volumen de sonido de 108 dB. Anker dice que puede llenar espacios de hasta 1076 pies cuadrados. Al igual que otros modelos de Soundcore, sus LED RGB pueden crear un espectáculo de luces que se sincroniza con el ritmo de tu música.

El Rave 3S incluye un par de micrófonos inalámbricos para noches de karaoke. Ahí es donde entra en juego la IA: el altavoz tiene una función de eliminación de voz que puede “convertir cualquier canción en una pista de karaoke con un solo clic”. Si funciona como se anuncia (aún no lo hemos probado), podría ahorrarle la molestia de buscar en YouTube o pagar por un servicio como KaraFun para obtener versiones sin audio de sus programas favoritos.
También incluye una función de mejora de la voz, que añade claridad a tu voz, y un efecto de eco para que puedas sonar como Phil Collins en su versión de “In the Air Tonight”, que induce a la batería.
El Rave 3S tiene un tiempo de reproducción estimado de 12 horas, una función de refuerzo de graves, resistencia al agua IPX4 y un modo de audio espacial. Party in the Box estará disponible el 10 de marzo por $349.

Próximamente también estará disponible el Soundcore Boom 2 Pro, una continuación de los Boom 2 y Boom 2 Plus del año pasado. El nuevo modelo tiene cuatro motores y una potencia de 140 vatios, lo que lo hace mejor que su predecesor para espacios exteriores. Los graves pueden alcanzar los 40 Hz. El altavoz tiene resistencia al agua y al polvo IP68 (solo las variantes Boom 2 y Plus tienen clasificación IPX7) y Anker dice que puede flotar en el agua para fiestas en la piscina.
Como un altavoz para fiestas, el Boom 2 Pro puede producir un espectáculo de luces RGB y viene con una correa portátil para colgar al hombro. Anker dice que el tiempo de juego es de hasta 20 horas. El Boom 2 Pro se lanzará en abril (aún no hay fecha establecida) por $249.
Es posible que falten semanas para el Black Friday, pero si espera conseguir un trato en el Music Frame de Samsung, no tiene que esperar hasta el Día de Acción de Gracias. ellos dos Amazonas y Samsung Actualmente venden el altavoz por menos de 250 dólares. Con un descuento de $150 sobre su precio normal, este es un mínimo histórico para un marco de música, que normalmente te costaría $400. Teniendo en cuenta que Samsung lanzó el dispositivo a principios de este año, esta es una gran oportunidad para adquirir uno (o incluso dos) para su sistema de cine en casa.
Si no está familiarizado con Music Frame, considérelo como la barra de sonido equivalente al popular Frame TV de Samsung. Al igual que su homólogo de televisión, el marco de música se puede utilizar como pieza de decoración del hogar. Y aunque no hay una pantalla que pueda recorrer automáticamente las obras de arte digitales, puedes insertar impresiones y fotografías manualmente. Además, si bien es posible emparejar dos Music Frames con un Frame TV, no se limita al uso de cine en casa. Music Frame funciona bien como altavoz independiente con Wi-Fi y Bluetooth. Incluso puedes utilizarlo como centro de hogar inteligente. Es posible montar el marco musical en la pared o en una mesa con la ayuda del soporte incorporado, si lo prefiere.
Samsung
Después del descuento de $150, puedes obtener el Samsung Music Frame por menos de $250.
En cuanto a la calidad del sonido, Billy Steele, reportero senior de Engadget y experto en audio residente, se sorprendió por lo bien que sonaba el Music Frame cuando llegó allí. Mostrado en CES A principios de este año. “Me sorprendió lo poderosa y clara que era la calidad del sonido general”, escribió en ese momento. “Los agudos y medios están adecuadamente representados con gran detalle, mientras que los graves son más restringidos”. Si tiene curiosidad, Music Frame cuenta con dos parlantes traseros complementados por un conjunto de dos woofers y un tweeter de rango medio, los cuatro que se disparan desde la parte frontal del parlante. También ofrece soporte Dolby Atmos y Samsung ha incluido su tecnología SpaceFit, que ayuda con la calibración de la habitación.
Finalmente, Music Frame es una excelente opción para quienes buscan un altavoz que desaparezca de la decoración de su hogar, pero su alto precio puede hacerlo poco atractivo, especialmente si desea un par estéreo. Sin embargo, con un descuento de $150, es más fácil recomendarlo, incluso si tienes un presupuesto ajustado.

Thanks to some not-so-subtle leaking by various celebrities in recent weeks, we know that a Beats Pill speaker is most probably on the way – and new images spotted in the upcoming iOS 17.5 software all but confirm it.
Some digging through the iOS 17.5 test code done by the team at AppleInsider has revealed the rumored speaker in three different colors: black, gold, and red. No other information is attached, so we’re left guessing as to details such as price and release date.
Apple itself has said iOS 17.5 will be out in the very near future – presumably with support for the upcoming speaker – and considering the Beats Pill leaks we’ve seen so far, it shouldn’t be too long before everything is made official.
Only a few days ago we saw a couple of refreshed Beats products break cover, and our full Beats Solo 4 review gives you the rundown on one of those products – the new headphones bring with them spatial audio and up to 50 hours of battery life.
The Beats continue
The last we saw of this particular speaker range was the Beats Pill Plus, which was discontinued back in 2022. It would seem that someone on the Beats team feels it’s time for another attempt at making one of the best Bluetooth speakers in the business.
Unfortunately we can’t give you any idea of the sort of proposition the new Beats Pill speaker might present. The Beats Pill Plus, for reference, weighed in at a little over 1.5lbs / 0.75kg and cost $230 / £190 / AU$360 when it was launched.
Our wishlist for a new and improved model isn’t anything out of the ordinary: superb sound, impressive battery life, and a price that isn’t going to break the bank. Hopefully that’s not too much to ask, Beats?

This isn’t the only compact portable speaker leak we’ve seen this week either: images purporting to show the Sonos Roam 2 have found their way online, so anyone in the market for a speaker for playing tunes on the move is about to get a couple of notable new options.
Bass is foundational. A dedicated speaker capable of reproducing convincing bass and sub-bass not only makes music and films feel more authentic, but can even improve the detail and dynamics of the higher registers by freeing up sonic space below. So attempting to jam a real subwoofer into a handheld speaker is by no means a crazy idea—it’s just crazy difficult.
That’s what makes the Brane X so impressive. Over the years, I’ve heard lofty claims about low-extension “woofers” in virtually every kind of compact speaker, but the Brane X is the first to hit all the notes literally. It does so with a specialized RAD (Repel Attract Driver) that seems to perform physics-defying magic from within the speaker’s stout frame. That’s matched by multiple high-frequency drivers above for clear and surprisingly expansive performance across registers.
To land this kind of breakthrough bass in a package you can take virtually anywhere, Brane charges a fee that will make most casual buyers spit up their beverages. But if your budget is negotiable, the Brane X is a fabulous wireless speaker that comes as close as I’ve heard to putting a full home audio system in a pint-sized box.
Surreal Sound
Do you listen to music with percussion or drums? Bass guitar, synth, or strings? If so, you’ll benefit from what the Brane X can do. What’s most notable about the speaker’s potent punch isn’t how much bass it pumps out, but the kind and quality. This is pure, full, and unadulterated low-frequency performance from the source.

As you might guess, the Brane X is most viscerally impressive when hammering hip hop and electronic grooves, where the kick hits with clean authority well below 50 Hz, without overpowering the other instruments. Yet, listening through my catalog, it became increasingly clear that the RAD subwoofer’s pointed touch is just as impressive when more subtly deployed.
The haunting vocal and guitar intro in Springsteen’s “The Ghost of Tom Joad” sounds clear and airy, as you’d expect from a quality portable. Then the bass guitar kicks in, and everything is elevated. The rich natural tone the Brane X reproduces adds depth and gravity to the song, bringing its full emotional poignancy to life.
I didn’t have a suitable portable that could stand up to the Brane X, so I called in some of my favorite homebound Wi-Fi speakers, including the Sonos Era 100 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) and Era 300 (9/10, WIRED Recommends). Even the thrilling 300, which serves up impressive bass in its own right, couldn’t match the Brane in the heaviest tracks, sketching out more of an impression of the lowest tones than the full monty.
Brane says its Repel Attract Driver can deliver this kind of authenticity by using a special magnet and spring system to cancel the “internal air pressure forces” that hinder other speakers. This results in a claimed “tenfold increase in sub-bass sound and a hundredfold increase in sub-bass efficiency.” It sounds like so much techno mumbo jumbo out there, but with the Brane X, you can actually hear it working, and not just from the performance. Tapping the power key evokes little whirring sounds, apparently adjusting its complex internal mechanism ahead of playback.
Details on the unreleased speaker remain unknown, but it features a similar pill-shaped design to the rest of the Pill family and includes a lanyard that has not been present on previous models. The most recent model in the Pill family was discontinued in 2022, and this new one will likely include a USB-C port, updated Bluetooth specs, and other improvements.
Beats has yet to officially announce the upcoming Beats Pill, so a release date similarly remains unknown.

Bose may be best known for its noise-canceling headphones, but the company makes solid portable Bluetooth speakers too. In fact, the company’s SoundLink Flex made our best Bluetooth speakers list as a great option among contenders in its price range. Today, the company is adding to the SoundLink lineup with its largest portable Bluetooth speaker yet: the SoundLink Max ($399). While the overall design is similar to previous Bose devices, this model packs bigger sound and longer battery life into that expanded frame.
Inside the SoundLink Max, three transducers and two passive radiators power “a spacious stereo experience” that includes bass performance that sounds like an even larger speaker, according to Bose. The company says this portable unit employs tech typically used in its soundbars and pairs that with digital signal processing to reduce distortion for “full, natural sound” across genres. Bose is promising that you’ll be able to hear every aspect of a song clearly, no matter the musical style and no matter where the speaker is located. You’ll also be able to adjust lows, mids and highs via the Bose app if the stock tuning doesn’t suit your preferences.
Bose
Bose opted for a powder-coated, silicone-wrapped steel enclosure for the SoundLink Max, which the company says offers a more refined look. The speaker is also IP67 rated, so dust, water, rust and dropping it shouldn’t be an issue. This all makes the Max well-suited for outdoor use, and when you do take it on the go, you won’t have to worry about recharging often. Bose says the SoundLink Max will last up to 20 hours, plus it can juice up your phone via a USB-C cable if needed. A removable rope handle will assist with transport, but Bose also makes a carrying strap if you prefer over-the-shoulder hauling.
The SoundLink Max is equipped with Snapdragon Sound, which offers more consistent connectivity with recent Android devices, and aptX Adaptive that provides improved audio quality over Bluetooth. The speaker also supports Google Fast Pair and Bluetooth 5.3.
Pre-orders for the SoundLink Max start today from Bose, and the speaker is schedule to ship on May 16. In addition to being the company’s largest portable Bluetooth unit, it also ties the Bose Portable Smart Speaker for being the most expensive at $399. If you’re looking for something smaller, the SoundLink Micro ($99), SoundLink Flex ($119) and SoundLink Mini II ($149) are also available from Bose.
Being brought to tears by something other than music at a high-end speaker demo is a first. But then, Audiovector is not your average hi-fi outfit. So here I am, with no option but to dig the esteemed member of the audio press standing next to me in the ribs, dab at my mascara and mutter “I’m not crying, you’re crying!”.
What happened? Oh, we’re in Copenhagen at Audiovector‘s small but beautifully Hygge HQ, where founder Ole Kifoth just unveiled his latest masterwork, the Trapeze Reimagined (or ‘Trapeze Ri’ for short), despite being in what he calls “semi-retirement but, you know… still designing”.
We didn’t know this before we arrived, but we’re here to experience a reimagined update on the gloriously lopsided Trapeze stereo speaker Klifoth designed and launched 45 years ago, in 1979 – his first speaker. Only, that’s not the point right now. The point is that his closing remark before setting us loose to listen to it concerns neither the new purpose-designed open-back Audiovector SEC Air Motion Transformer (AMT) tweeter, nor the five-inch midrange unit, or even the 12-inch mid/bass driver within this beautifully offset arrangement. No, instead he looks over and speaks directly to his son, who stands beside him now as the CEO of the business.
“I’m fortunate enough to see the work of my life being taken over, and handled extremely well I think, so…” he slaps the younger man on the back, his voice faltering as he says simply, “Thanks, Mads”.
Not a dry eye, I tell you.

Having pulled myself together long enough to weave in some specs on the new Trapeze Reimagined (did you see, above?) I now need to make it clear that Ole Klifoth and his son – who still live within 3km of each other – are fanatical music lovers.
Over the course of our two-day listening session (interspersed with some wine-tasting and a trip to a local restaurant where one of Mads’ friends works – hey, we gotta eat) we listen to everything from Ghost Rider to Rimsky-Korsakov; from Stone Temple Pilots to Joni Mitchell; from Prince to Alan Thwaites. We also listen to the Trapeze Reimagined hooked up to a mid-range Moon amplification system and a Gryphon combination, but the family occasionally use a Burmester integrated option “for cosy evenings here” (all of these companies are friends of the family) – and always using Audiovector cables.

When one of our party mentions a particular moment of unusual clarity, Klifoth enthuses, “yes – although actually, the quality is already there, on the table. All you have to do is release it”.
“Thank you though,” he adds, “I really tried to stay true to Dr. Oscar Heil with this AMT tweeter – for me, hard dome tweeters sound like inverted bin lids compared to it”.
‘It’s crazy, I still have the old crossover circuit in my head 45 years on – although that didn’t work for this’

I ask Ole Klifoth what it was like reworking something he completed back in 1979 (which was a good year; I also made my physical debut in ’79) and how it felt becoming something of a Time Lord.
“Mads persuaded me to do it! In the beginning, I didn’t want to, actually – I thought it was not related to the other products. But he was right – he kept saying, ‘we need this icon. Dad, you have this icon that you’re not using! Do it!'”
So was the process enjoyable? “Yes, and in a way it was like going back in time, because – and this is crazy – I still have the old crossover circuit in my head, 45 years on… although that one didn’t work for this product!”
He laughs again: “I’ve spent my life playing with speakers and having fun with it so, really, they are my babies”.
I ask if he has one piece of technology or one aspect of the design he’s most proud of? “No, I have 20!” he laughs – and you can’t argue; he’s done well.
“No, that requires an explanation!” he cuts in, keen not to come off aloof: “Our company is built on building blocks, all of them building towards the same goal: to build something which is fast, precise, natural, easy to listen to and musical. It doesn’t matter whether I talk to you about grounding, or driver design, or decoupling of drivers, or any of those! Everything I do is centred around the idea of it sounding like a good concert hall or a good jazz club.”
So does the Audiovector Trapeze Ri sound like a good jazz club? During my time listening to them, it’s a yes from me – and this updated model is aided by a unique extra you won’t find in even the best stereo speakers.
Of course, there’s its particular shape, which allows the speakers’ rear cabinet to match the angles of the corners of most rooms (albeit ideally 70cm away from those) yet angle its drivers in towards a listening sweet-spot. But – and here, Ole dramatically mimes pulling something out from under his shirt sleeve, whispering conspiratorially, “well, it’s got to get better, after 45 years!” – there’s another ace up the Trapeze Reimagined’s sleeve.
‘We’re a traditional business – and I want to do it the traditional way’

I’m talking about Trapeze Reimagined’s flexible damping feature, which gives it a clear edge when pairing with different amplifiers. Audiovector suggests you select position one for transistor amps with a medium damping factor; position two for high-power transistor amps with a higher damping factor and position three for tube amps with a low damping factor. Of course, we experiment with these options (and I’d suggest you do too) but Mads is quick to reassure me there’s no right or wrong position – not if you love how it sounds.
Ole tells us later he’s never forgotten being four meters away from Stan Getz, “who was drunk and fell off the stage! Or Keith Jarrett in a small club in Denmark – hearing them was fantastic. And this is what I want to do with speakers”.
Here here, Mr. Klifoth. On the company itself, neither Ole nor his son Mads plan to change anything drastically. “We have a presence in 59 countries now, but we’re a traditional business – and I want to do it the traditional way,” Mads tells me.
The Audiovector Trapeze Reimagined is available to order now, priced €17,000 / £15,500 (which is around $19,000 or AU$28,600), so they’re hardly entry level and could easily join our regular Money No Object features. They’re available in Nordic Oak, Italian Walnut, Black Ash and White Silk – all of them intrinsically beautiful to my eye.
I say goodbye to Ole and Mads Klifoth with a few last-minute queries (audio journos are always keen to get the details right). Ole tells me, “when I started out 45 years ago, I read everything published by audio engineering societies, everything in Paris, any language. But after the theory, you know, you must have artistry. The theories are worth nothing unless they result in something that you can enjoy. Music is an international emotional language.”
He’s right, of course – and for me, Audiovector’s high-end Trapeze Reimagined are a music-lover’s dream.
US basketball star LeBron James has long been part of Beats’ history, during which time he’s also been known to leak upcoming products – and it looks like he may have done it again. The NBA legend was captured with what appears to be a brand new and unreleased Bluetooth speaker in a reel posted to Instagram (see below) by the LA Lakers. In it, you can clearly see the Pill-shaped speaker has a Beats logo – and it’s on a lanyard, which is something the most recent Beats Pill speaker didn’t have.
The Beats Pill Plus was killed off in January 2022, but it wouldn’t be up for consideration as one of the best Bluetooth speakers if it were still being sold today. It dated back to Apple‘s acquisition of Beats – it was the first Beats speaker to come with a Lightning port, which was Apple’s connector of choice at the time – and was considered by many to be overpriced at launch in 2015, never mind years later when Apple finally stopped selling it.
What we’d like to see in a new Beats Pill speaker
The Beats Pill Plus had a decent 12-hour battery life, but modern models go much better. One of our current picks, the Tribit Stormbox Flow, is good for 30 hours. But that’s not the biggest bit of the Beats speaker we’d expect to be upgraded. The Bluetooth of 2015 wasn’t a patch on the Bluetooth of today, and the best such speakers now deliver vastly improved sound quality through the use of newer, better codecs.
One of the best illustrations of how Bluetooth speakers have changed is when you compare our current favorite, the Sonos Roam, with the most recent Beats. The price is the same, because Sonos is another more premium brand. But that has up-to-date Bluetooth, Wi-Fi for even better streaming, multi-room audio support, Google Assistant and Alexa. It automatically switches between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, it has automatic room tuning and it sounds fantastic.
And that’s a model that’s about to be replaced: we’re expecting to see the Sonos Roam 2 this summer with even better Bluetooth and improved voice control. That’s likely to arrive this June – so for a new Beats to be a Sonos killer it needs to be something as awe-inspiring the legend currently carrying it. We’ll find out soon enough, because if this is indeed a bit of celebrity product placement then the actual product launch can’t be too far away.

Ahead of tonight’s NBA playoff game, the Los Angeles Lakers posted an Instagram reel showing superstar LeBron James arriving at Ball Arena in Denver carrying what appears to be an unreleased version of the Pill speaker from Apple’s Beats brand.
The original Beats Pill was a wireless Bluetooth speaker introduced in 2012 prior to Apple’s acquisition of Beats Electronics. It received a few updates in its first several years on the market, with the final revision being a redesigned Pill+ with a Lightning connector introduced under Apple’s ownership in 2015.
The Pill+ remained on the market for a number of years in that form before being quietly discontinued in early 2022.
Based on today’s video, it appears the Pill may soon be making a comeback, as the speaker in James’ hand clearly shows a Beats logo and it includes a lanyard that was not present on previous versions of the speaker.
With the direction of Apple’s product lineup, a USB-C port for charging appears likely. And given the previous Pill+ was introduced almost nine years ago, there have been significant advances in Bluetooth and other technologies since that time, so this upcoming version is likely to be a significant improvement. Specific details on the speaker, including a release date, however, remain unknown.
