Audiophiles know speakers come with trade-offs: Either you go big, or you compromise on sound quality. Brane Audio’s Brane X breaks that cycle. It’s the first portable speaker with an internal subwoofer, powered by its proprietary Repel-Attract-Driver (RAD), which uses magnets to alter air pressure inside the speaker cabinet. The tech allows more bass and better performance without drawing more power—or having to increase speaker size. A pivoting handle makes it easy to carry to the park.
