At more moderate volumes, the distortion is far more subtle, and shouldn't be considered a deal-breaker unless you're on the hunt for a speaker with clean, powerful deep bass (and if you are, you're going to need to spend significantly more money). This wireless speaker is designed with our eco-friendly REWIND® fabric, recyclable aluminum, and delivered in 100% recyclable packaging. Every Marley product is engineered to deliver all genres of music to the listener with as much energy, emotion, inflection, nuance and attitude as the original performance. This isn’t unique to the Marley Chant Mini though, as many budget Bluetooth speakers perform in the same way – they sound decent at mid-range, but distort and become quite harsh at high volume.

And to be honest with you, I use the feature so infrequently that even if it was the issue, it wouldn’t be a deal-breaker for me.for wireless audio playback with a range of 10m, although this is likely to decrease if objects (like walls) are in the way. Since the Chant Mini itself isn’t marketed as a waterproof case so I wouldn’t suggest attempting to take it to close to the water with you at the pool. Add to that bamboo detailing, a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, aluminum housings, and auto reconnect Bluetooth capabilities, and you’ve got a wunderkind of sound, a world of sonic boom.

Built for adventure, Chant Mini features durable materials like solid bamboo, a splash-resistant design, and a removable carabiner to clip to your belt or bag for easy portability.The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products.
