CONCLUSION

   The VERB is actually not the first speaker we've seen that uses vibrations to transfer/project audio onto other surfaces but it seems to be the best choice out there currently not only because of its anodized aluminum body but also because of its quite good audio quality. Of course as Bass Egg points out in their manual this depends on the type of surface you decide to use the VERB on but during our tests wood followed by glass yielded the best results (wood if you prefer bass and glass if you prefer mids). I was hoping to use the VERB on metal but the vibrations are too much for most sizes so i don't recommend it. Unfortunately we don't have a yacht on which we could test the speaker to see if it can use the entirety of its massive fiberglass surface like Bass Egg suggests in order to deliver better sound so we're just going to leave this open just in case we can do so in the near future. As for the battery well during all the weeks of testing we never went over 7 hours so the 10 advertised by Bass Egg don't seem like farfetched number and besides even 7 is very good. Our only "recommendation" to Bass Egg is for them to place touch controls at the top of the device just like with their previous product version (only came with a 3.5mm connection) since we feel that there are many people who may want to control the volume and song selection from the speaker (not to mention that it would look way cooler).

   You can currently find the VERB Bluetooth vibration portable speaker by Bass Egg for just USD99.95 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and 130Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk) a price tag which may seem as a bit on the excessive side especially in the EU (you can also purchase the rubber "shells" seen above for around USD13/15Euros). However you need to remember that the VERB is not your average everyday portable speaker not only because it looks like no other and has an anodized aluminum body but also because it uses vibrations to project sound on most materials which gives it more volume than most similarly sized speakers. Of course much like most things if you just want a low-cost portable Bluetooth speaker there's no need to look this way, if you do want something special however and you don't mind paying a bit more to get it then the VERB by Bass Egg is a clear winner.
