CONCLUSION

   Shortly after finishing our test of the NuForce Cube we ended up using both the POWER and BOOM portable speakers for a total of 6 days during which we found out that the 4GB built-in memory was more than enough to hold all of our favorite tunes and then some. Both speakers performed almost on-par with the NuForce Cube and the only reason i say almost is because the POWER model was slightly less powerful, on the other hand however the BOOM easily surpassed both. Audio quality was also very good but just like the NuForce Cube we did encounter some slight audio distortion at maxed out volume levels especially with pop songs but as always with such tiny solutions that was expected. Battery-life is also very good since we did use both speakers for well over 6 hours continuously each time at almost maxed volume levels (which is really superb considering both units are not only portable speaker but also MP3/MP4 players) however since we don't have official specifications for the rechargeable lithium-ion batteries used we can't say if it should be more or less. The sole problem we encountered with both units was the inability to playback some MP4 files but since MP3 is a much more popular format we doubt that people will be using anything else.

   Price is always one of the most decisive factors when picking up the right device for your needs and so naturally when we saw that both the POWER and BOOM portable memory speakers by RockDoc featured an internal MP3/4 player along with 4GB of memory we thought that they would cost quite a bit. Well it so happens that we were wrong and so currently the POWER model retails for just USD35.19 (Amazon.com) while the larger BOOM model for just USD44 inside the USA (Amazon.com). So as you can see RockDoc has not only introduced portable memory speakers that feature high quality aluminum housing and have plenty of volume, built-in MP3/4 players and 4GB of built-in memory but they also come at extremely low price tags. Now i do hope they make something even larger with more memory and naturally more powerful speakers but until/if that happens their Portable Memory Speakers win our Platinum Award.
