As summer approaches, the air fills with anticipation, and Australia’s audio leader, BlueAnt, answers the call with another hit in the world of sound. Cue the X5i, the latest advancement in portable party speakers, designed to set a new standard for audio enthusiasts.
The X5i takes everything you loved about the original X5 and pushes it to new heights. Doubling the power output to a whopping 120W, this party speaker ensures your music thumps with deep, resonating bass, thanks to its two 58mm tweeters and BlueAnt’s signature psycho-acoustic bass technology. Whether you’re cranking up the volume or keeping it mellow, the X5i maintains its impressive bass quality.
This speaker isn’t just about sound; it’s a visual feast too. Equipped with LED lights around both the trim and core, you can choose from seven beat-driven light modes to match your music and mood. It’s a full sensory experience designed to elevate any gathering.
The X5i is also built for the aspiring singers and hosts among us, with two wireless microphones included that boast over 50 hours of playback time. These microphones charge directly from the speaker, offering great range and freedom to move, even around corners.
BlueAnt CEO Taisen Maddern proudly states, “This is a triumph which builds on the success of the X5 and tinkers only in the ways that amplify the experience for the users. We’ve fine-tuned the beat-driven light display and made the microphones free and unfettered – all while continuing to focus on the audio which, in the case of the X5i, is better than ever.”
At its heart, the X5i carries a 165mm bass driver and a Bass Reflex Tube, ensuring all audio forms—from punk to podcasts—sound rich and dynamic. The addition of a bass boost button provides an extra layer of depth for bass lovers, making every track feel live and vibrant.
Despite a larger built-in 20800mAh battery, which offers up to 30 hours of playtime at 50% volume, the X5i remains portable at just 4.8kg. It’s versatile, supporting multiple playback options including Bluetooth 5.4, AUX, and USB, and offers a duo mode to pair two speakers for an expanded soundstage.
Available at a retail price of $479, the X5i is accessible via select Telstra and Optus stores, as well as directly from the BlueAnt website. Maddern summarizes, “At that price, the X5i will be hard to beat when it comes to bang for the buck and performance.”
Whether it’s a beach party, a backyard BBQ, or simply a night in with friends, the X5i is poised to create unforgettable moments with its superior sound and eye-catching design.
