The speaker also supports audio playback from a microSD card, and has a microphone that enables hands-free use for voice calls with a paired mobile phone.
The speaker has a 2,000mAh battery which is claimed by the company to last for up to 8 hours on a single charge. The Sound One Drum speaker has its controls at the top, and also has a fabric ribbon that makes it easier to pick up and carry the speaker.
