Aiwa Exos-9 Portable Bluetooth Speaker

Product Information

The two USB ports on the rear panel don’t have anything to do with the connectivity of the AIWA Exos-9, but they do come in handy. Audiophiles don’t have to worry about sound quality and surround sound. You can even connect two Aiwa Exos-9 speakers for a more powerful and surround-quality sound system. You can configure them as dual stereo or stereo-separated depending on your needs. Host a large party and keep them entertained with high-quality surround music. The bass is deep and warm yet can be ramped up to a punchier and booming sound. The mids are full, not muddy and the highs clear and crisp, never shrill or piercing. And it’s just as much at home indoors in large rooms or halls. Anywhere you’ve got a large party or gatherings. What’s in the Box Aiwa Exos-9 is a battery-operated speaker. The battery is not built into the speaker and it can be removed and replaced.

Aiwa Exos-9 is a nice-looking and quite large Bluetooth speaker. It’s portable and you can use it outdoors but be aware that it’s not rugged or waterproof. The SOUNDBOKS 3 is the upgrade to our previous winner, The SOUNDBOKS 2. The self-proclaimed “loudest battery-powered speaker in the world.” This Bluetooth speaker produces a whopping 126 decibelsof high-quality audio with incredible 80 hours of battery life. These two features alone put The New SOUNDBOKS at the top of the list as our choice of the loudest Bluetooth speakers. Battery Nevertheless, the speaker “Exos-9” is to be understood as an homage to the best Aiwa times. For us, this is reason enough to take a close look at the device, which was released in 2015 and is currently on the upswing again. Design and Workmanship The Bluetooth connection works well with no connectivity problems or signals loss up to 50ft away provided there are no obstacles in the line of the signal. Right at the top, there’s an LCD screen where you can see the EQ settings and presets, battery status, and selected source (AUX or Bluetooth). Right next to the LCD screen, there’s a large volume knob.

Peachtree Audio deepblue3 and Exos-9 are similar in many ways – they have the same boxy design, the number (as well as the size and placement) of drivers is the same, and they have similar dimensions. They are also priced the same.

No, is the answer. In keeping with the nostalgic design look, you’ve only got the controls on the speaker. There is no smartphone app to control the speaker. The sound of the Aiwa Exos-9 is powerful and very clear. Five integrated loudspeakers, including a 6.5-inch subwoofer with an output of 200 watts, ensure this. With the help of the equalizer, it was possible to adapt the AUX mode to one’s own wishes to a great extent. Everything is possible with the Exos-9, from balanced to bass-heavy to high-frequency sound. We were very satisfied with that. We noticed particularly positively that the settings are consistently maintained even at high volumes – even bass-stressed sound is still perfectly reproduced at high volumes. Conclusion The USB powebank port can be used for charging phones or tablets. Assuming that the capacity of the battery is 15,600mAh, you can fully recharge Samsung S9 or iPhone X 5 times. But if you want to become nostalgic, you’ll have to take a little hit: The original manufacturer was sold to Sony in 2002 and ceased operations in 2006. In 2013, the brand rights were sold to “River West Brands”, which cooperated with “Hale Devices”. The latter company subsequently renamed itself “Aiwa” and is responsible for the device we tested. If you want something more rugged and waterproof, you should buy some other speaker (JBL Boombox, for example). Unfortunately, you will never get the same loudness and sound quality with JBL Boombox (and you will have to pay more). A few words about the manufacturer

This calculation should be considered as a guide, but because the efficiency of speakers varies, one can’t accurately calculate the specific decibels from a provided wattage. Speaker Efficiency vs. Sensitivity The Exos-9 automatically switches to auxiliary input when you plug in the cable from your device with the screen showing “AUX IN” for the time you’re connected. Hold the play/pause button on the speaker to switch inputs manually if it doesn’t happen automatically. What If One is Not Loud Enough?
