ub+ db1 doublebass - Rich sound at an attractive price

The ub+ db1 doublebass from the company ub+ should prove to be a portable Bluetooth speaker with a rich sound.

Over the years, Bluetooth speakers have become everyday companions for many people, which is probably primarily due to the fact that they allow music to be consumed almost anytime and anywhere in the simplest possible way, with the smartphone naturally taking centre stage as the central interface for music streaming.

Even if the range of Bluetooth speakers on the market already seems unmanageable, the Singapore-based company ub+ still wants to enrich it with the ub+ db1 doublebass. A particularly attractive price-performance ratio is the main reason why the company is able to assert itself and win the favour of customers.

All-round sound enjoyment

The ub+ db1 doublebass is designed as a particularly compact and elegant solution that delivers rich sound at an attractive price, as the manufacturer promises. In concrete terms, the company even speaks of all-round sound enjoyment, whereby this is achieved through the use of high-quality components.

The ub+ db1 doublebass features a 4.5-inch bass driver with a 35 mm voice coil and powerful magnet in the drive unit, which, in combination with two symmetrically arranged 5.2-inch passive radiators, should provide rich, deep bass free from distortion. A silk tweeter is responsible for an appealing presentation at the top, as the manufacturer states, and the data sheet reveals that the ub+ db1 doublebass has a power output of 4 0W plus 20 W and should be able to reproduce a frequency range between 40 Hz and 20 kHz.

Bluetooth 5.3 for a stable connection

To ensure a stable, reliable connection to the source device at all times, the ub+ db1 doublebass has an integrated Bluetooth 5.3 module. This Bluetooth standard also offers the advantage that it works particularly efficiently, so that power consumption is comparatively low and battery life is increased. It should be mentioned in this context that the integrated 2,500 mAh battery is said to offer a runtime of up to 20 hours. It should also be noted that the battery lasts for up to two weeks in standby mode.

ub+ Seek app

How could it be otherwise, ub+ naturally offers a suitable app for the ub+ db1 doublebass, namely the ub+ Seek app. This is used to intuitively control the portable Bluetooth speaker and adjust the sound to your own preferences using the integrated equaliser.

The app also allows easy management and synchronisation between different devices, including an uncomplicated connection between multiple speaker systems.

For example, two ub+ db1 doublebass can be paired to form a stereo pair, but it is also possible to connect up to eight Bluetooth speakers for particularly rich sound, for example for a party, according to the manufacturer.

Elegant design

The ub+ db1 doublebass could be described as a sphere speaker, as its polycarbonate housing is extremely elegant, but also robust thanks to its IPX5 certification, as the manufacturer promises.

The speaker can be operated using a central rotary switch made of brushed aluminium, and the striking Fibonacci pattern on the speaker grille underlines the high quality of the product.

A three-legged stand is included in the scope of delivery, which allows the speaker to be set up at three different heights. A magnetic adapter plate ensures quick and secure attachment of the speaker to the stand. The ub+ db1 doublebass can also be easily carried using a leather carrying strap.

Prices and availability

The ub+ db1 doublebass is now available in glossy white, glossy black and metallic grey matt. The recommended retail price is listed at € 299,-.

Getting to the point

How could it be otherwise, given the name, ub+ naturally promises a powerful, rich performance for the portable Bluetooth speaker ub+ db1 doublebass, but also emphasises its elegant design and ease of use. However, the most important argument in favour of the ub+ db1 doublebass is that all this is offered at a particularly attractive price…
