Our Verdict

TREBLAB HD77

TREBLAB HD-Max

The TREBLAB HD77 and the TREBLAB HD-Max are similar speakers, though they have different strengths. The HD77 is smaller and easier to bring along with you on the go. It can produce a slightly more extended low-bass than the HD-Max and offers a much wider-sounding soundstage. The HD-Max is a larger portable speaker that can get louder with less compression at max volume, resulting in cleaner audio at louder volume levels. It also has a longer-lasting battery life and lower Bluetooth latency with iOS and Android devices. Some apps compensate for latency differently, so your experience may vary.
