Sonodyne Antara | BT Portable Speaker ₹11,999
FOR
Sturdy build, clean amplification, subwoofer pre-out
AGAINST
Sonically timid, lacks dynamics, no app control
The portable and Bluetooth speaker categories are relatively new to them, but slowly expanding over the last couple of years. Antara is their newest and smallest wireless speaker to date models itself after a familiar form factor that doesn't break any ground.
Black or white options keep the colour palette neutral, just like its aesthetic. It's a non-offensive design with a black metal grille spanning the face of the speaker with an ABS body keeping it all safe with an IP65 rating.
Sonodyne has opted for a rudimentary LED indicator to show charge status instead of a progress bar that would be a handy visual indicator of the amount of charge (or charging) left. Since there is no accompanying app to monitor the exact battery percentage either, it becomes all the more imperative.

Q Acoustics M40
A pair of powered baby floorstanders that have big shoes to fill
YG Acoustics Carmel 3
On paper, the Carmel 3 from Colorado-based speaker specialist YG Acoustics has a credibility problem. They cost a huge amount of money but are small, rather plain-looking two-way floorstanders.
