Long gone are the days when speakers were hefty devices that came along with other supporting devices. Lately, speakers have become synonymous with portability, and portable speakers have gained so much traction that brands are coming up with new options almost every second day.
The latest in the category is Philips all new TAS2505 Portable Bluetooth Speaker. The device has been launched in India at a nominal price of ₹ 4,999 and can be purchased from retail stores as well as online platforms (basically the brand just wants you to get it from anywhere you can).
Just like most other speakers in the segment this one too is IPX7 rated so you can take it to a pool party or even better take it inside the pool, who cares?
The Philips TAS2505 grille has LEDs that flash random colours in sync with the music, the light also varies with volume. Plus, the carry strap makes it easy to tote the speaker or hang it from wherever you want.
The brand ensures that this portable speaker offers crisp sound even when you play the music loud, and a passive radiator boosts the bass. It can stay for up to 10 hours and a full charge takes approx 2.5 hours. There's also a built-in mic for calls (if of course, you want the world to listen to what's going on).
