I swapped my Bose and JBL speakers for this floating Turtlebox - and it's seriously tough
Turtlebox returns with the Cub, proving that its smaller speakers can be just as durable and powerful as its larger ones.
Turtlebox, a company that creates speakers for outdoor enthusiasts, has launched the Cub speaker. This compact speaker is designed to withstand rugged environments, but it does not compromise on audio quality. The Cub can reach up to 118 dB, which is as loud as a stadium concert or an NFL game. Its audio is characterized by strong bass and clear highs, although the midrange can become distorted at high volumes.
The speaker uses a 1.3-inch titanium tweeter and a 4.5-inch woofer for its sound. Titanium is a stiff material that enhances higher frequency clarity and is also highly durable, which aligns with Turtlebox's design philosophy. The Cub's large woofer, powered by an efficient Class D amplifier, delivers loud, boomy bass that can handle environmental noise like boat engines and crashing waves.
Despite its ruggedness, the Cub maintains a 14-hour battery life, though maxing out the volume will reduce it. It has an IP67 rating, making it dust and waterproof, and it can float, even in saltwater, thanks to its marine-grade stainless steel construction and weather-resistant speaker cones.
