Zebronics Retro CD Bluetooth Speaker
Ten watts in a case shaped like a CD player, with six ambient sound modes and a built-in clock. Nostalgia, with a passive radiator.
What it actually is
A Zebronics Echospin: 10W output through dual 5.2cm drivers plus a passive radiator for low end, Bluetooth v6.0, about nine hours of playback, TWS support so two can be paired as a stereo pair, and a built-in clock with alarm and call functions. Six ambient sound effects are built in.
Who it's for
Desk and bedside use. The clock and alarm are the giveaway — this is designed to live on a nightstand or a work surface rather than travel, and the retro CD styling is aimed squarely at people who remember CD players.
The honest downside
A passive radiator helps, but 5.2cm drivers have physical limits and bass-heavy music will sound thin next to any larger speaker. Nine hours is a manufacturer figure measured at moderate volume; expect meaningfully less at high volume. And the retro shape means it takes more desk space than a cylinder of the same output.
Check these before you buy
- Whether it charges over Type-C or micro-USB
- That TWS needs two units, which is not obvious from the listing
- Whether there is an aux input as a fallback
- Reviews specifically about the clock display brightness at night
Verdict
Bought for the looks, kept for the alarm clock. Fair value at under two thousand.
