The LAMAX wireless speaker now costs only eight hundred! It has quality sound, IP67, and effective RGB backlighting

There are dozens of Bluetooth speakers under a thousand CZK on the market, but only a few can boast over 10,000 units sold and nearly 300 ratings. The LAMAX Sounder2 Play with code ALZADNY20 dropped to 799 CZK, which is a realistic price tag in this category, for which it doesn’t make much sense to overthink.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you’re looking for an inexpensive portable speaker for the garden, by the water, or in the car trunk for trips.
⚠️ Consider if you primarily want a speaker for serious music listening in the living room – don’t have high expectations here.
💡 For 799 CZK, it’s a decent combination of IP67 water resistance, connecting two speakers via TWS, and beat-syncing backlighting.

What you get for 799 CZK

The Sounder2 Play is a cylindrical speaker weighing 520 grams, which fits into a backpack or your car trunk. 24 W power in this size will cover a terrace, a small garden, or listening by the river. IP67 rating means protection against dust and immersion in water, so you can comfortably take it to the pool or beach. Connectivity is handled by Bluetooth 5.3 with an 18-meter range, an AUX cable, and a microSD card – the latter option is useful if you want to play music from local storage.

A practical bonus is the BeatShare function for pairing two speakers into a stereo pair – if you ever want to expand the sound, just buy a second unit. An aesthetic addition is RGB backlighting reacting to music in five modes, which will be especially appreciated by younger audiences. A built-in microphone is available for phone calls.

What’s worth mentioning

From 262 ratings on Alza, two realistic reservations are repeated. Firstly – the 24-hour battery life is a marketing number from the lab. At higher volumes and with backlighting on, realistically expect more like 10 to 13 hours, which one user precisely confirms. However, this is still sufficient for all-day listening.

The second reservation concerns the backlighting, which automatically turns on every time the device is switched on, and turning it off requires repeatedly pressing a button (users report up to five presses). The speaker does not remember the preference, so every morning you repeat the same choreography. If you don’t use the backlighting, it’s annoying. Sonically, the speaker corresponds to its price category – for spoken word, podcasts, and less demanding music outdoors, it’s sufficient. For audiophiles who listen to serious speaker systems at home, it will be a disappointment – but they probably don’t buy a speaker under a thousand CZK.

Verdict

The LAMAX Sounder2 Play for 799 CZK makes sense as a portable speaker for outdoor use – for the park, cottage, by the pool, for barbecues. The complaint rate is a low 0.45%, and 92% of customers recommend the product, so you don’t have to worry about reliability.

Do you buy portable speakers based on price, or is it worth paying extra for a more well-known brand?
