HUAWEI Sound Joy 2 is a portable wireless speaker with excellent sound quality, and it is also an atmosphere maker for camping. For music lovers who like to play outdoors, Sound Joy 2 is undoubtedly a choice worth considering.
HUAWEI Sound Joy 2 specs and features:
- 26 hours playback of per charge
- 8800mAh battery & 40W fast charge
- Four-unit two-way acoustic architecture
- Weight 702g & RBG light ring design
- Smart connection & 100 speaker interconnection
Appearance Design: Portable and Stylish
The design of HUAWEI Sound Joy 2 is absolutely worthy of praise, especially its compactness and portability are impressive. With a diameter of only 73mm, a height of 202mm, and a weight of 702g, its appearance is close to the size of a bottle of mineral water. This design makes it very convenient whether it is put into the backpack or hung on.
The Sound Joy 2 is wrapped in breathable fabric, which feels delicate and comfortable. It has reached IP67 dust and water resistance level, what does this mean? Simply speaking, it can easily cope with the beach, swimming pool, camping and rainy scenes, and it can be directly washed with water when it gets dirty.
The light ring design of HUAWEI Sound Joy 2 is also very interesting – 12 RGB lights can rotate and flash with the rhythm of music. Especially at night or in dim environment, the effect of the light ring is particularly obvious.
26 Hours of Ultra-long Battery Life: Uninterrupted Music
HUAWEI Sound Joy 2 is equipped with an 8800mAh battery, and the official claims that it can play music continuously for up to 26 hours. The reason is that Huawei cleverly uses the “dynamic voltage regulation energy saving algorithm”: it outputs less power in the smooth part of music playback and more power in the dynamic and exciting part.
Some of the details of the HUAWEI Sound Joy 2 design also reflect its emphasis on user experience. For example, just press the power button and the light ring on the top will display the current battery level in percentage. It should be noted that if the AI mode is turned on, the battery life will be shortened to about 16 hours. If you need to use it outdoors for a long time, it is recommended to switch to bluetooth mode to get a longer battery life.
Another thing worth mentioning is the fast charging capability of HUAWEI Sound Joy 2. In outdoor activities, the Sound Joy 2 supports 40W fast charging, which is rare among outdoor wireless speakers. In actual tests, it can play music for 1 hour after charging for 10 minutes.
Smart Connection: Diversified Gameplay
Huawei already provided bluetooth, smart dual mode, and smart connection functions based on Harmony OS in the previous model. This time, HUAWEI Sound Joy 2 supports more smart connection gameplay. For example, Huawei mobile phone users can easily share music through the “touch to transfer audio” function. The phone only needs to touch the speaker to quickly establish connection and start playing music.
Even more interesting is the interconnection function of the speakers. If you go camping with a friend who also brings HUAWEI Sound Joy 2, you can try the “shake to create stereo” gameplay: just shake the two speakers at the same time, and they will automatically combine into left and right channels, presenting a wider soundstage.
HUAWEI Sound Joy 2 supports up to 100 speakers connected to each other. Although this sounds a bit exaggerated, and I don’t have that many devices to try it, I can imagine that in large-scale outdoor activities, this function will definitely create a shocking sound effect.
Acoustic Configuration and Sound Quality
HUAWEI Sound Joy 2 adopts a four-unit two-way acoustic architecture, equipped with a 10W tweeter, a 20W runway-shaped full-frequency unit and two symmetrical Push-Push passive radiators. Combining the bass enhancement algorithm with Push-Push technology, Sound Joy 2 has the advantages of high fidelity and low resonance under high power, and can produce a loud volume of 81dBA (1 meter away from the listener). The maximum volume of a single speaker can cover an area of about 20 square meters (equivalent to the size of a basketball court).
In actual listening experience, when the volume is turned up to 50% in an outdoor environment, the loud treble and full bass are enough to cover about 10 square meters. When playing light music, the high-frequency is bright and transparent, and the vocals are clear and delicate. When switching to electronic music, the bass is extended deep and powerful, with sufficient sense of rhythm. And its cylindrical design allows the sound to spread evenly to 360°, providing a wider soundstage and ensuring the consistency of sound transmission.
Sweet vocals are also a highlight of HUAWEI Sound Joy 2. When playing female vocal track, the mid-high frequencies are clear and transparent. Thanks to the two-way acoustic structure, the vocals and instruments have a good separation, and the sound layering is significantly improved compared to HUAWEI Sound Joy.
Additionally, whether you are a Huawei ecosystem user or not, you can switch between four different sound effects in the Huawei Smart Life App – HiFi, Vocal, Atmosphere, and Dynamic.
Interestingly, the passive radiators at both ends of the speaker adopt a CD texture design, which will vibrate with the rhythm when playing music, with a maximum amplitude of 16mm. In my opinion, this design not only improves the bass performance, but also brings a unique visual effect, making the “good sound” really visible.
