Our quick take
Huawei Sound - 3.5 / 5
Sound vs Sound X: What’s different?
- Sound: 1x woofer, 3x full-range drivers / Sound X: 2x woofers, 6x full-range drivers Sound: 55Hz - 40,000Hz / Sound X: 40Hz - 40,000Hz Sound: 3.5mm connector / Sound X: No connector Sound (only): Hi-Res Audio support (LDAC) Both models: Mains wired only
Design, Connectivity & Controls
- Diameter: 147mm / Weight: 187mm / Weight: 2.2kg Touch panel: mute, volume up/down, connection Bluetooth 5.0 only (no Wi-Fi/AirPlay) Colour: black only
Sound Quality
- Speakers: 3x drivers, 1x woofer Frequency: 55Hz - 40kHz Devialet co-engineered 360-degree output
To recap
This wired-only Bluetooth speaker is largely at odds with what people will want from such a product: there’s limited connectivity, limitations to bass output, and for a Devialet-engineered speaker it doesn’t have as cohesive and complete an audio output as we’d expect. Really there are just too many other smarter options that exist to counter Huawei’s foray into the speaker market.
