I've never used them, but a friend used to run engineering at Braven. He's no longer there, so I don't know what that company's current status is, but he was a serious audio guy who made sure that every product he designed or sourced was high quality once all of the marketing-mandated boost features were turned off.

Do let us know if you give them a listen, and whether they are as good as I expect.

My old Braven, the one that looks like an OG cheesegrater Mac Pro, was the best sound per cubic centimeter I've owned.

Not really in the market for a portable speaker anymore, but if that changes, I'd most likely just get another of the same unit.

So yeah. Next time you see your buddy, tell him some rando on the Internet thinks he did a good job.
