Brand: DALI
#91 DALI Katch G1: $279 Discontinued eBay
Newer model: the DALI Katch G2, ranked higher, rated 2.8/5, released Jul 2021. It adds power bank charging, AAC and aptX HD. Battery life goes from 24 to 30 hours. See every DALI Katch generation.
Pros: A slim, elegant waterproof stereo speaker with a built in strap and a long battery, now discontinued. A 1.1 kg IPX7 waterproof stereo speaker with two woofers and two tweeters, aptX support and 24-hour battery life. Pretty neutral tonal balance. TWS pairing and an aux input are included.
Cons: Loses bass quickly after 40% volume. A lot of compression artifacts at high volume. External AC power brick for charging. Discontinued, superseded by the DALI Katch G2, which sounds nearly identical. Reverb added to the output screws up the imaging. Quite a hollow character to the sound.
