Most speakers on Kickstarter are portable, pocket-sized models that play tunes from your smartphone. Think picnics, or lazing by the beach. Soundboks is a little different.
For starters, it’s massive.
But here’s the kicker – it’s battery powered, so you can take it anywhere with you. Providing you have a car with a boot big enough to fit it in, that is. It’s built to withstand the elements too, being rain-, splash-, shock- and snow-proof.
With a 30-hour battery life, it’ll outlast all but the hardiest of party-goers. It comes with two batteries, so should your party outlast the first, just swap in the second and keep going all weekend. Though Monday morning is going to be quite a struggle after that.
The battery juices up in three hours.

Turn it all the way up to the maximum volume of 119dB – that’s the equivalent of a live concert – and it’ll only last eight hours. You’ll get 30 hours out of the volume equivalent to a bar or nightclub, which is quite loud enough in our opinion.
Want one? Pledge $459 (£328) and it can be yours on an early bird. Though numbers are limited. It’s passed its funding goal and will ship in April.
