Etekcity Roverbeats T3| 2018 Review | Best Portable Speakers

In the big world of portable speakers, there is a lot of competition, especially with such a high demand and expectation for phone compatibility and overall performance. The Etekcity Roverbeats T3 portable speaker has what is needed to take the competition to the next level. Not only is it sleek and small, it pumps out sound twice as heavy as it is itself.

Below is the product review for the Etekcity Roverbeats T3 model. Standout features of this speaker are listed following a brief overview and product-specific details. Pros & cons, along with a summary of customer reviews, will round it out.

About Etekcity Roverbeats T3

While one of several models, the T3 definitely stands out as being one of the most defined even amongst its Etekcity peers. It weighs just over half a pound and its soda can size makes it great to travel with. It uses one of the more current Bluetooth software versions and can play up to 8 hours straight on a full charge.

Since this model is not waterproof, nor does it have a handle or clip, it is not the best for traveling outdoors. It does come with a nice carrying pouch however, and has an above average Bluetooth connection distance of 33 feet (10 meters). As a bonus, it can be used in conjunction with other speakers if you use a 3.5mm audio splitter. Overall, this speaker is best for indoor use and parties in contained spaces where the elements won’t harm it and the music can be turned up loud.

Pros & Cons of Etekcity Roverbeats

Pros

The overall sound quality belies its small appearance; the bass resonator does an excellent job highlighting the bass part of the music while the anti-skid mat and vibration plate were clever additions to help reduce internal speaker damage

Can play music wirelessly or via a 3.5mm audio cable; additionally, unlike competing models, you can connect the Etekcity Roverbeats T3 to other speakers via a 3.5mm audio splitter cable

The built-in mic clearly catches speech and the voice controls are usable; the smart speaker element of pausing when a call comes in is just one of several ways this feature comes in handy and stands out

Cons

Control buttons are located on the bottom ‘ring’ of the speaker are quite small for the average adult; additionally, they limited the controls to volume+/- and play/pause – there is NO ‘skip forward/backward’ option

If you pause something and then hit play again, you sometimes get bad sound/static and have to turn the speaker off/on again before it gets better

This model is not waterproof and there is no case or carrying handle/clip included which limits the way you can carry it around

What People Say about Etekcity Roverbeats T3

With over 3,000+ customer reviews and a rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars, it is clear that people are saying a lot about the Etekcity Roverbeats T3 speaker… and almost all of what they are saying is good. Features and details that people praised are the overall sound quality as well as the simplicity of the speaker. The bass truly comes through significantly better than one would expect from a speaker this size. Also, it is quite easy to connect via Bluetooth and it holds that connection strongly.

A few cautions came up consistently as well – the most obvious concern being that the speaker only lasts a few months (if that). Another caution that appeared in a handful of reviews is that when the speaker is playing, then paused through your device for something, playing it again may result in a bad static or garbled mess. Weighing these slight concerns against the Elekcity Roverbeats T3’s overall performance, however, keeps this as an excellent contender for buyers.

Conclusion

The small size and excellent connectivity range and quality put this Elekcity Roverbeats T3 model in the running for one of the best portable speakers in general. By far, the bass quality helps put this at the top and the overall connectivity quality keeps it there.
