About the Braven BRV-HD
Strong build
Strong build
One thing I've always liked about Braven Bluetooth speakers: they don't just look rugged — they feel rugged. And the brawny Braven BRV-HD is no exception. This portable speaker was made for the great outdoors. Its rubberized, shockproof exterior and aircraft-grade aluminum grille can handle more than a few bumps and spills. And of course it's water-resistant, so it can handle moisture spills too.
Strong sound
Stream music wirelessly from your smartphone or tablet, and you'll discover that the BRV-HD's sound is brawny as well. Two custom drivers with two passive bass radiators deliver a deep rich sound even when you're listening outdoors. Want more? Braven's TrueWireless™ technology lets you wirelessly pair two BRV-HDs (each sold separately) for use as left and right stereo speakers.
Hands-free conversation
If a call comes in on your paired smartphone while you're listening to tunes, you can hit the play/pause button on the speaker to talk hands-free using the BRV-HD's built-in microphone. The microphone is noise-canceling, eliminating pesky background sounds, including wind.
Play all day
The speaker's built-in rechargeable battery provides up to 28 hours of continuous operation — that's one of the best battery life specs we've seen to date. It also serves as a power bank for your portable device. If your smartphone or tablet is running low on juice, recharge it through the BRV-HD's USB charging port.

Features
Bluetooth Wireless Speaker: The Braven BRV-HD portable speaker is Bluetooth (V2.1+EDR) compliant and is ideal for your Bluetooth-enabled Apple iOS device, Android smartphone/tablet, Windows Phone/PC, Mac computer/laptop, or other device. The Braven BRV-HD supports Bluetooth audio streaming (A2DP 1.0/AVRCP 1.4) and Bluetooth hands-free communication (HFP 1.5/HSP 1.2), as well as a simple pairing procedure.
- Bluetooth Audio Streaming w/ aptX: The Braven BRV-HD Bluetooth speaker streams stored music and music apps wirelessly from Bluetooth-enabled devices such as your smartphone, tablet, computer, laptop, or other device. In addition to support for the standard SBC Bluetooth audio codec, the BRV-HD offers support for aptX with higher quality audio streaming from select Android devices. aptX audio coding technology provides even better sound quality with lossless, CD-quality streaming for compatible aptX-compatible smartphones, like many Android smartphones with OS 4.0+. The Braven BRV-HD also offers basic playback control (Play/Pause, Previous/Next Track) over your music. You will continue to use your Bluetooth-enabled device for advance music navigation to view song/artist information.
- Bluetooth Hands-Free Communication: The BRV-HD speaker features a built-in, noise-canceling microphone and a answer/end button so you can answer phone calls from the speaker. When the BRV-HD is synced via Bluetooth with your mobile phone and a call comes in, your music will be paused and the phone's ring tone will play over the BRV-HD speaker. Simply press the answer/end button on the speaker to answer your call through the Braven BRV-HD. You will continue to use your Bluetooth-enabled device to view video calls, dial a phone number, and control other advanced phone functions.
- Simple Pairing: A single button press pairs your Bluetooth-enabled device with the Braven BRV-HD. The BRV-HD speaker is capable of remembering the last 8 devices paired with it and will automatically search for previous connections (within 33' range) when the speaker is initially turned on. However only one device can be used at a time to playback music or take a phone call.
Enhanced SRS WOW HD Sound: The Braven BRV-HD Bluetooth speaker houses two front-firing, full-range drivers and two rear-firing passive radiators. Enhanced with SRS WOW HD sound, its elevated bass response produces deep, rich sound that fills outdoor spaces.
True Wireless Technology: True Wireless technology allows you to pair two Braven BRV-HD speakers (or other Braven 8-Series speaker) together for a left and right stereo audio experience. The Bluetooth speakers can be up to 33' apart from each other, with one speaker playing the right channel of the song, and the other playing the left channel, for a wireless "stereo" effect.
Ultra-Rugged Enclosure: The Braven BRV-HD is precision engineered with a one-piece, shock-absorbent rubberized housing and aircraft-grade aluminum grille that combines style, durability and compact portability into one sleek speaker enclosure. The BRV-HD defends against the elements with an IPX3 water resistant rating and durable weatherproof design. The Braven BRV-HD speaker is not intended to be submerged in water, but is resistant to rainfall, water jets, and water splashing.
Auxiliary Input: For devices that do not support Bluetooth, the Braven BRV-HD features an auxiliary input (3.5mm) and includes a stereo minijack audio cable that can be connected between the Braven speaker and your music player. The Braven speaker can be used with music players that have a 3.5mm headphone jack.
USB Charging Port: The Braven BRV-HD is designed to efficiently charge smartphone and tablets that draw power from a 0.3A to 2A charge, via the speaker's USB (type-A) port. To charge your mobile device, simply plug the USB end of your phone's charging cable into the Braven speaker's USB port and plug your phone into the other end. Once both ends are connected, your phone will begin charging. The Braven BRV-HD won't charge unless the speaker's battery has some charge and is in the "On" position. On a full charge, without music playing, the BRV-HD can charge a typical smartphone or tablet to approximately 50-70% (depending on model/battery size). You can also continue to listen to your device's music through the Braven speaker, while its charging (as long as the Braven speaker has an adequate charge).
Rechargeable Battery: The Braven BRV-HD speaker has a built-in rechargeable lithium-polymer battery (8800mAh) that provides up to 28 hours of playback time at moderate volume levels. You can easily recharge the battery using the included AC power adapter. Charging time is approximately 4-6 hours. Five side-panel LEDs indicate battery level and charging status. You can continue to play your music through the Braven speaker while it charges.
