Two great brands that just go so well together: Fender for audio and retro styling, Teufel for great German audio engineering. Together they've created the Fender x Teufel Rockster Go 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker and it's a great little powerhouse for its size. Fully IP67 waterproof and with a 28H battery, it'll keep your party going all night, as tech expert Dave Taylor shares in this demo and review.

0:02
let's check it

[Music]
0:10
out Dave Taylor here and I'm checking
0:12
out this this is the fender toyl
0:15
rockster goto Bluetooth speaker and as
0:18
you can see there are no wires it is a
0:21
fully portable speaker with great Fender
0:24
styling and a passive Bas Radiator in
0:27
the middle I'll show you that in a
0:28
second it's pretty slick
0:30
and Toy's great German audio technology
0:33
too so two great companies working
0:36
together to produce what's a pretty darn
0:38
sweet portable Bluetooth speaker now it
0:42
has dual full range drivers one here and
0:44
one here so you can imagine it's sort of
0:48
pushing out audio much more than if it
0:50
was just going straight and then that
0:52
Center one like I said is a passive base
0:54
radiator it's only rated as an 8 watt
0:56
speaker so this is not going to fill up
0:59
your auditor if you're looking for
1:01
something that does but if you want to
1:03
put this on your bike or you want this
1:04
on your picnic table or you want this on
1:07
your table by the pool or something it's
1:09
going to be fantastic Bluetooth pairing
1:12
it supports AAC so you get better
1:15
quality audio from iPhones and similar
1:18
and it has a really slick thing called A
1:21
Sound Stage enhancement button and we're
1:23
going to demo that in just a second too
1:26
IP67 dust and waterproof so it's
1:29
interesting because the USBC charge on
1:32
the side isn't sealed so they must have
1:35
designed that so that it can stand
1:37
immersion to get an IP67 rating but if
1:41
you have this by the pool and it falls
1:44
in you can fish it out let it dry and
1:47
you're good to go and there's a lot of
1:49
it is rubberized so it's a really nice
1:51
texture the back is fully rubberized you
1:54
can see there's that little lip there
1:56
and then this little handle is so you
2:00
can actually use this strap if you're so
2:02
inclined now it also comes with a
2:05
surprisingly large charging cable and
2:07
that's USBC to USBC which I appreciate
2:11
and it comes with a guitar pick because
2:15
you know guitar pick and so let's see
2:19
there's some go get started there's
2:22
instructions that are a little confusing
2:24
because there aren't many words it's
2:26
just pictures and symbols but it's super
2:29
easy to work with I pulled this out of
2:31
the box and I charged it and there are
2:34
little tiny LEDs on the back that show
2:36
you your charge level and then I just
2:38
pushed the power
2:40
button let's see I guess I have to push
2:42
it for a couple of seconds and there you
2:44
go you can see it lights up the
2:46
Bluetooth lights up and it's paired it's
2:50
that easy so I paired it with my iPhone
2:53
15 Pro and now let's go in and do some
2:57
music so ready let's do
3:02
this so that's at about 30% volume I'm
3:06
going to point it towards me so you can
3:07
hear a little better so let's rock it up
3:10
a little bit so that's at about 90%
3:13
volume and I have to yell to hear over
3:16
it it's really loud and of course there
3:19
are controls on top as you can see in
3:21
this shot so you have previous track
3:24
play pause next track and then there's
3:27
that Sound Stage enhancer button so
3:29
let's try that and then I'll show you
3:31
what that um passive radiator looks like
3:33
so back to our
3:36
music I'm going to turn it down just a
3:39
little bit but so this is without the
3:41
Sound Stage enhancement and then
3:47
listen you see how it gave a little bit
3:50
more presence to the music and now let's
3:52
turn it back
3:55
off and what the the sort of effect when
4:00
in sitting in front of the speaker is
4:02
that it goes wide and then it goes back
4:04
narrow so suddenly it sounds like the
4:06
music with this off it sounds like the
4:08
music's coming from the speaker but when
4:10
you turn that feature on then what
4:12
happens is it just sort of expands
4:14
beyond the edges of the physical device
4:17
it's a pretty slick audio feature so now
4:20
let me show you that passive radiator
4:21
too
4:23
so watch right there can you see that
4:26
vibrating pretty cool huh
4:31
so pause that so those are all the
4:34
controls there's four buttons on the top
4:37
and it's all under this rubberized
4:39
surface so you have to be a little
4:41
enthused in pushing it but it's pretty
4:43
easy and then on the back there's power
4:46
and Bluetooth and they both light up
4:47
when the thing is on and then there's a
4:50
tiny little LED it's four dots and it
4:52
shows you the charge status so there's
4:55
that let's see so it is a 28 hour
5:00
battery so when this thing's fully
5:01
charged you've got over 24 hours of
5:04
music playback which is pretty darn
5:06
sweet and USBC charging obviously comes
5:10
with the cable and everything so you can
5:12
charge this overnight and then go for a
5:14
weekend and just jam out the whole time
5:17
and you'll be doing great one cool thing
5:20
is there's a/ Quin screw on the bottom
5:22
so it's a tripod mount so you can put it
5:25
on a tripod or a little stand but you
5:27
can also get like bicyc
5:30
handlebar um mounts that have that same
5:34
little quarin screw which you could then
5:36
put this on and you could let all of the
5:39
people around you listen to the music
5:41
you're listening to which I'm personally
5:43
not a big fan of in that environment but
5:46
you might be really into that so for
5:48
mountain biking or something it is
5:50
rugged this is a tough device if you
5:52
wipe out then you can focus purely on
5:55
your own injuries knowing that your
5:57
speaker has survived the experience
6:00
please hopefully you don't wipe out now
6:02
if you have two of these you can pair
6:04
them and get them into stereo mode which
6:06
I really like I'm a little sad they
6:08
didn't send me two so I could
6:09
demonstrate that but that usually is
6:11
just a great effect but even better is
6:14
as with many of these devices now they
6:17
have a Bluetooth party mode where you
6:19
can pair up to 100 speakers um then they
6:24
will all be in sync playing the same
6:26
music so imagine having a half dozen of
6:29
these scattered around your outdoor
6:31
party and they're all playing the same
6:34
music and when you're done you turn them
6:35
all off and you bring them all back in
6:38
fantastic and with 28 hours of battery
6:40
life you can be doing that and your
6:42
party can go into the we hours and
6:45
you'll never have any worries about oh
6:47
that speaker just dropped out so lots to
6:50
like here in terms of the sound
6:52
reproduction it is a small speaker so
6:54
there are some inherent limitations with
6:56
the sort of just the physics of it but
6:59
for its size it does a really nice job
7:03
this is a keeper of a speaker if you're
7:05
looking for an outdoor speaker that's
7:08
tough and rugged and waterproof and has
7:11
great battery life and really nice sound
7:13
reproduction this is a solid option now
7:15
let me tell you real quick 2.4 in by 4.3
7:19
in by 8.3 in and it's 2 1/2 lb so it's a
7:23
little bit on the heavy side but that's
7:25
because it has magnets because the
7:27
magnets help Drive the speakers
7:30
which actually give you better sound so
7:32
it's definitely a worthwhile tradeoff um
7:34
remember it does have that little hook
7:36
so you can actually I guess tie it to
7:39
your backpack or something it's a little
7:41
heavy for that I don't know that I would
7:42
do that but
7:44
overall really great design really
7:47
beautiful form factor I really like the
7:49
Retro styling which definitely is
7:51
something that Fender has contributed it
7:54
is a win allaround if you're looking for
7:56
a great speaker for spring and summer
7:58
activities even winter activities this
8:01
is a winner definitely one to check out
