Geepas GMS11168 Rechargeable Professional Speaker Review: 40000W PMPO Powerhouse?
Introduction
The Geepas GMS11168 is a hefty, 40000W PMPO rechargeable Bluetooth speaker that promises a powerful audio experience. With its built-in LED lights, wireless microphone, and a range of connectivity options, it aims to be the life of the party. But does it deliver on its ambitious claims? I’ve put this speaker through its paces to find out.
Features
The GMS11168 boasts an impressive array of features. Beyond the advertised 40000W PMPO output (it’s important to note that PMPO is often a marketing term and doesn’t reflect true RMS power), you get a built-in rechargeable battery, Bluetooth connectivity, a wireless microphone, USB/TF card playback, FM radio, and a surprisingly good LED light show. The textured finish feels surprisingly premium for the price point. The control panel is intuitive and easy to navigate, even in the dark, thanks to well-placed and backlit buttons.

Performance
The sound quality is surprisingly good for a speaker of this size and price. The bass is definitely emphasized, which is great for party settings, but it can sometimes overpower the mids and highs at higher volumes. At moderate volumes, however, the sound is well-balanced and clear. The wireless microphone worked flawlessly during my testing, with minimal latency and good vocal clarity. The range on the Bluetooth connection was also impressive, allowing me to move around freely without any dropouts. The battery life lived up to the manufacturer’s claims, easily lasting for several hours on a single charge. The LED lights provided a nice ambiance, although they aren’t customizable.
However, at maximum volume, the sound becomes somewhat distorted. This is expected, considering the power output and the inherent limitations of large speakers aiming for booming bass. The build quality feels robust, but the speaker is quite heavy and not easily portable for one person to carry long distances.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Powerful sound, good bass, wireless microphone functionality, long battery life, multiple connectivity options, attractive design, intuitive controls.
- Cons: Sound distortion at maximum volume, quite heavy, bass can overpower other frequencies at times, limited LED customization.
Final Verdict
The Geepas GMS11168 is a compelling speaker for those who need powerful sound for parties or outdoor events. The combination of a wireless microphone and multiple connectivity options is also a significant advantage. While it’s not perfect – the sound distortion at maximum volume and its weight are noticeable drawbacks – the overall sound quality, features, and value make it a solid choice for its price range. I would recommend this speaker to anyone looking for a loud, feature-rich, and relatively affordable option for casual events. If pristine audio fidelity is paramount, then other options might be more suitable, but for fun, casual use, this speaker shines.
