Portronics SoundDrum P 20W Portable Bluetooth Speaker with 6-7 hrs Playback Time, Handsfree Calling, USB Slot, Aux-in Port, Type C Charging (Blue)

As a Sony XM5 daily user I am impressed by this Portronics SoundDrum. I really like the sound quality + balanced base. As i am not fan of deep base, I prefer sound quality. and i much satisfied with this product and price. USB, MicroSD, USB, Bluetooth.. these all are much sufficient functionality given. I didnt expected this much good quality. Impressed by Protonic.

After using this product, i am providing honest review. Pros - 1) Good sound, bass and treble. 2) Price range is also good. Cons - 1) Battery backup issue (hardly upto hours) 2) Bluetooth connectivity is upto 7-8 meters. 3) Volume setting i.e. volume gets drop automatically when battery gets started draining. Overall good product.

Could not have asked for a better product !!! Earlier I had Portronics Soundpot which forced me to buy a portronics speaker only and I bought this one. So I bought this speaker in 2020 and I used it till 2025 with some minor repairs. For 5 years this speaker was with me from long bike rides to lonely nights and it never disappointed me. Also at one point all of my friends were also amazed with the performance and they couldn't have missed it presence because first it used to be with me all the time and second because of its performance. The sound, base, treble, vocals everything was above my expectations and due to the double speaker it gave a stereo sound. The battery life was amazing in the starting 3 years after that it declined a little bit but that was alright. Compatibility: It is compatible with every device 👍🏻 If you're planning to buy this go ahead don't think twice.

Best Speaker in this Price range . Product is so good. Good sound quality 👍.Go for it . Portronics products good at everything.

I've attached an audio sample for reference. Video is recorded with AAC codec. The speaker is playing at 50% volume while being connected to my laptop using aux mode. It got so loud while recording this that I had to move out of the room, shut the door and put on my ANC headphones :P Pros: 1. Made in India by an Indian Brand 2. GOAT Bass (has 2 bass radiators so no surprise) 3. Great audio clarity and wide frequency response range 4. BT v5.3 5. Really solid build quality 6. Looks and feels more premium than its price segment 7. Has a carrying/hanging strap 8. Great I/O ports selection 9. Supports both SBC and AAC 10. Getting almost 24 hour battery life while switching the volume level anywhere between 10 to 30% and playing various types of multimedia, takes almost 2 to 2.5 hours to charge fully when connected to 10 W adapter, the LED light at the back remains red when charging and switches off when fully charged 11. Comes with Mic (haven't used it yet) 12. Lastly, it's damn loud. I personally never use it above 10% volume (in aux mode). This also results in stellar battery life. Cons: 1. No FM Radio support 2. No TWS Pairing support 3. No official IP rating (unofficially it's splash proof due to its design) 4. No app support (like Mivi, Tribit etc) 5. Battery shown when connected via BT is 100%, 70% and 40%, after that you will get 'Battery Low' warning when it's really low. 6. Speaker reduces its loudness when the battery drops at the 40% level. What you listened at volume level 10 will now be 16-20. 7. No battery indicating LEDs like boAt Stone 352, 1208 etc. 8. When connected to my laptop (running Windows 11 and having BT v5.0), at lower volume levels volume progression is not consistent. Either volume is too low or too high (this issue is specific to Windows PC). 9. When connected to Windows via BT, it doesn't increase volume at every level (like 0/2/4/6 etc). From 0 to 4 there's no sound, 6-10 it's level 1, 12-16 it's level 2, 18-24 it's level 3 and so on. To fix this, use the speaker in aux mode and turn the speaker volume to its maximum using its + button. This will give you accurate volume controls. 10. Speaking of speaker volume controls, you have to press and hold +/- button to increase/decrease volume, as pressing them once changes tracks (this doesn't work in aux mode), so it becomes quite difficult to set the desired volume level through speaker. 11. BT range is 30 ft when there's line of sight, and 15 ft when there's obstruction in between. I bought it for ₹2099, I know it retails for lower sometimes, but my almost 5 year old boAt Rugby (10 W) started showing signs of ageing and I needed a replacement ASAP, as I use my BT speaker with my Windows laptop (for obvious reasons ;). Anyways, even at this price, it's really VFM, however wait if you can till some kind of sale arrives and you get this for a lower price. Would suggest Portronics to add FM Radio support and battery indicating LEDs to all of its SoundDrum series and above, it's really a feature that people need, not always but it's something you can count on when needed. P.S.- When keeping the speaker upright, ensure that the surface beneath it is soft and dust free, otherwise it will damage the surface of the rubberised base.
