Stone 135 Portable Wireless Speaker Review: Immersive Sound and IPX4 Water Resistance
The Stone 135 portable wireless speaker promises a compelling blend of portability, water resistance, and immersive sound. I’ve spent the last few weeks putting it through its paces, subjecting it to various listening scenarios and testing its advertised features. This review details my experiences with the Stone 135 (Model Number: Stone 135) to help you decide if it’s the right speaker for you.
The Stone 135 boasts a range of impressive features. Its compact design makes it incredibly portable, perfect for carrying to the beach, park, or even just around the house. The IPX4 water resistance is a significant plus, giving you peace of mind against accidental splashes and light rain. The 5W RMS speaker delivers surprisingly powerful audio, and the True Wireless Stereo (TWS) functionality allows you to pair two Stone 135 speakers for a truly immersive stereo sound experience. Connectivity is also a strong point, offering Bluetooth, FM radio, and TF card support, allowing for multiple music sources.
The sound quality of the Stone 135 exceeded my expectations. While it’s not going to replace a high-end home audio system, the 5W RMS output provides clear, crisp audio with surprisingly decent bass response for its size. At higher volumes, the sound remains relatively distortion-free. The advertised 12-hour battery life proved to be accurate in my testing, easily lasting a full day of use with moderate volume. Pairing via Bluetooth was quick and seamless. The TWS functionality worked perfectly, creating a wider and richer soundscape when using two speakers. FM reception was also satisfactory. I did notice a slight limitation on the high-end frequency response; there was a bit of ‘mud’ on certain tracks.
Pros:
- Compact and Portable Design
- IPX4 Water Resistance
- Impressive 5W RMS Sound Quality
- Long Battery Life (approx. 12 hours)
- True Wireless Stereo (TWS) Capability
- Multiple Connectivity Options (Bluetooth, FM, TF Card)
Cons:
- Slight muddiness in high frequencies at higher volumes
- Charging Type listed as Type C to HDMI – this seems incorrect and may be Type-C USB
The Stone 135 is a fantastic portable wireless speaker that punches above its weight. The combination of portability, decent sound quality, long battery life, and IPX4 water resistance makes it a highly versatile option for various scenarios. While there’s room for improvement in the high-frequency response, the overall performance and value are excellent. I highly recommend the Stone 135 to anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable portable speaker.
