How do the lights go back in? Do they just pop in? I’m going to clean the speaker grill and try to take it apart but want to know how to put everything back
Can you do a video on how to fix this particular speakers charging port. Mine stopped working. Idk what happened. Can you use a cellphone one swap them out?
I just received a replacement Doss Soundbox. The first one I bought would NOT read the MicroSD card. I tried everything with both units: 3 brand-new 32GB cards, FAT32 and exFAT format, MP3 and WMA formats for the music. Green light would flash, but neither unit would read any of the cards. What could be the problem?
So what speakers have you had previously? JBL, Sony, b&o and Bose had this feature long time ago. I used to have Doss sound box xl. It was really good sounding speaker. So i bought Doss ego2 and Im bit dissapointed with the sound comming out of it
Thanks for an interesting demonstration. I had a similar unit of a different brand,and although it had 2 speakers,the bluetooth was in fact mono. I discovered this because I have dedicated left and right tones on my phone and even over 4" there is no doubt. If this is definitely stereo,does it mean that when the 2nd unit is added,the units become mono as they would need to?
The unit operates in stereo when there is only 1 unit. When you add the 2nd unit, notice the lights. One indicated the left channel and the other the right. The units operate as dedicated speakers, using both speakers in each cabinet to double the power. One for the left channel and the other for the right. There is nothing mono about it. Mono would be mixing the left and right channels.
@@12voltvids Do you know if there is there an option to keep them both mono in case you wanted to use them in different rooms and still able to switch back to L and R when used together?
@@rossallen13 Yes you can use it as a single mode stereo with 1 speaker in each room and switch back and forth between devices but if they are paired as stereo then 1 becomes left and the other right. You do realize that Bluetooth has limited range right. So putting them is different rooms probably isn't going to work well as you walk around with your phone. They are good for up to 10 metres, 30 feet but going through walls reduces that range. I placed them in my living room which is large with the speakers about 24 feet apart and they work great in that room but if I walk a room over the furthest one starts getting choppy because I am now more than 10 meters away from the furthest speaker.
@@12voltvids Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah, I think I'm trying to use them for something that isn't intended really. I'd like to be able to play the same music out of both at the same time in different rooms with both playing in mono though as per a normal speaker system but then also be able to move them around and connect in stereo. Again, thanks for the reply. Great video.
@@12voltvids ok i was asking because ive got a Juice Boom Bluetooth Portable Speaker which the output on the box it says 3 watts x2 but in the battery tray its saying the output is 5 watts x2 (it uses a 3.7 1200mAh Lithium mobile/cell phone battery). I think the 5 watts x2 is the speaker output power
@@12voltvids indeed it does, mine at full blast is really loud with the AUX cable but on Bluetooth its louder. Unfortunatly mine lags on Blootooth also i find the music is muffaled if its to loud. on AUX i can have the volume at max and its very clear. so when it comes to music you can't beat wired
Reminds me closely of my Sony SRS-XB3 (I have two) which also have great sound and even longer battery life. Mine lack the flashy lights which I am okay with (The new Sony models have this) and the SD card slot is a great feature to have! Can these be linked? That's a feature the Sonys have that I really like. Definitely very cool speakers indeed.

JBL Charge3 makes it possible to pair two or more speakers for stereo separation.
I have the Doss Traveler and I really like it. I couldn't pass it up since it looks like a wolf/fox with leds for eyes. Mine doesn't have 2 unit stereo pairing, leds or Bluetooth 4.2, only 4.0. But as I use mine when I walk those features wouldn't be used. My ION bluetooth boombox (Spectraboom) has the leds like that. I never use it. But those DOSS speakers are nice. Mine has the same power output and battery too.
My son used this video to tear down his to fix the USB port. Well done!. Do you know how to get that specific part. The module with the aux, sd, micro usb charge with connection for ribbon?
@@stephenausherman8196 mine stopped charging. Something wrong with the charger port. I was thinking of using a old cellphone charging port and switch them out.
For those having issues. I turned my speakers on. Clicked Add on both, turned my Bluetooth off and they finally both paired. Then add one to Bluetooth again and they worked
you should try a larger card and google search a program called "guiformat". It should format the card as FAT32 and you might be able to get a card larger than 32 GB working on it.
32gigs is more than most people would ever want to put on a system like this. Most of these units have a maximum number of files they can support anyway. For example in my car I can put up to a 128 gig USB stick in it, but it really doesn't matter because the system can only see 9999 files anyway, so all those extra tracks will never play. Many of these players only support 1000 tracks. I didn't test this to find out. The SD playback is more for convenience anyway. You download your favorite party mix in the order you want it to play, plug in the card and let it rip.
I'm not a big fan of 2 drivers sharing one passive radiator (stereo separation suffers) therefore I went for AUKEY Eclipse 2x 10W RMS off Amazon 33usd or something. I pleace it on my bed's headboard 15cm behind my head and with a proper equalizer I can swear I'm listening to 2 100w floor standers
If yours is like 12voldvids here and my Doss Traveler then the passive radiator is on the back. I have an Anker of usual design. Less power, but a front radiator. I do notice a bit more bass punch from those. But I never classify any speaker of this size to a floor tower 3 way high wattage speaker set. Those have a great resonance chamber, descreate speakers for each range, it's no Comparison. These are made for travel and good sound from a small package. They do that. But they're not a home stereo replacement.
It has 2 passive radiators, or drones as they used to be called. They are not marketed as a home stereo replacement. Anyone serious about music will have a large set of speakers and a good quality amplifier. These are aimed at the millennial crowd, who don't really care about quality (just try listening to the crap they listen to) don't have money for a big system, live in small places with no room for a large stereo. In other words those that live in basement suites, small apartments ect where they they wouldn't be able to have a big system set up. Perhaps in a bedroom, or dorm room. That is the target buyer of these, and for the size they sound pretty dam good. No they will never replace my big ass speakers and tube amp, but to take outside in the back yard to stream some stuff from my phone they are more that good enough.
Madness832 No you get stereo out of a single unit just like any portable stereo blaster did. If you have a second one then your can physically place them 7 feet apart just like you would with a real stereo with wired speakers which will fill the room with a proper image sound as that is what recording engineers mix for. A 7 foot sound stage.

Mine isn’t charging what could it be?
What songs were you playing
Like this series. Good videos and ideas and a pleasure to watch.
Did you have to fully charge it before using?
how to turn off the led lights?
Help I bought this speaker like a week ago I have used it 3 times loved it now today turned it on and the led lights aren't working 😓
If it is only a week old it will have a warranty on it.
hold the extra bass button down

@12voltvids does the 10w x2 output power mean its 20+ watts in total ??
Generally that is what 10W x2 means. 10 watts per channel. So 20 watts output and when there are 2 speakers bridged it becomes 20 watts per channel.
@@12voltvids ok i was asking because ive got a Juice Boom Bluetooth Portable Speaker which the output on the box it says 3 watts x2 but in the battery tray its saying the output is 5 watts x2 (it uses a 3.7 1200mAh Lithium mobile/cell phone battery).

Sadly this still isn't working for me. One is a soundbox pro+ and the other is a soundbox pro. Maybe this is the problem, idk.
Sadly not easy to pair a piece of crap
Poorly engineered garbage made in China
I should’ve stuck with the Bose audio system my first choice
I just have a regular Doss. At some speaking frequencies, the grill rattles.

Actually it doesn't because the passive radiator only responds to the low frequency sound which is mono and not directional to begin with.

that "extra bass" button looks like its ripped right from sony's speakers
It simply cuts the high frequencies slightly to give the bass more presence.
So, to get real stereo separation, one has to buy a second one? Wow, just wow! :þ

Useless speaker. Used it once and no longer charges.
i wish you would get your mitts on a beats pill
The speaker is useless. Used it once and it no longer charges
@@mahwambo3273 I know they are crude as far charging goes the connector on them are crap. I just want to watch a video of him dissecting a Beats pill.
Your suppose to take the grill of first then the led lmao
So.
cheap sony knock off sony as had them out for ages now
Probably out of same factory as everyone knows Sony don't make their own products these days.
