you would expect from high performance stereo speakers they all connect to each other wirelessly
they're all rechargeable and they're designed to be extra tough to withstand the elements
and most types of extreme weather in this video we're briefly focusing on the biggest
loudest and baddest portable outdoor speaker soundcast offers their top of the line vg7se
which is the special edition model exclusively available here at audio advice the vg7se is not
just a great background music speaker this one is designed to rock out and play loud and clear
it's also the one that will work the best in an outdoor barbecue a beach blast or just about any
scenario you can throw at it pack it in the car for camping trips and years down the road this
will always be ready for any adventure vacation or road trip you or your family throw at it even

in the description and read our full written comparison on audioadvice.com there you'll find the
perfect soundcast model for you or a music lover you know now let's dive into the soundcast vg7se
the vg7se is a larger and more powerful special edition version of the vg7
for comparison the regular vg7 stands 19 inches tall 11 inches wide and 11 inches deep take the
vg7 stretch it out and add more power with a much larger battery and you have this very high
performance special edition speaker that's still highly portable the larger battery and the more
powerful output means the vg7se stands a little over two feet tall but only adds a few more extra
pounds to the overall weight the vg7se weighs 24 pounds compared to the regular vg7's 21 pounds but
the solid handle built into the vg7 makes moving this around pretty easy the vg7se has the same
speaker components and configurations as the vg7 but soundcast doubled the power inside for every
driver and increased the bass driver cabinet size to provide far more output bass reaches down to an
incredible 3db down of 40 hertz which outperforms a lot of large floor standing indoor speakers
when you're ready to really rock your pool party a boat dock or dance parties in the backyard turn
up the vg7 and transform your outdoor venue into a dance floor with great low end energy you could
even add two of these together and use them as a stereo pair for an even wider sound stage that
spreads the sound out even more i brought this along on a camping trip and just one vg7se was
enough to provide clear sounding background music at low volume when i turned up the volume our
campsite was completely covered with high quality sound with enough volume that impressed everyone
around us soundcast also paid special attention to the dsp to really fine tune the vg7se's sound
for audio that will bring a smile to just about any music lover with a rugged water resistant ip64
rating i can see this portable speaker being used mostly for pool parties dock parties tailgating
parties or even a neighborhood gathering in the cul-de-sac and if you want some ambient lighting
the vg7se also sports downward firing lights that are adjustable so you can suit the moon even if
your party lasts after the sun goes down with 40 hours of play time this means your outdoor party
can last all day and even all night if you need it to there's also a usb type a port on the back
of the speaker which lets you charge your phone we think the extra long battery life the mood setting
lights and the ability to charge your phone are all really nice touches that make this portable
speaker stand out as the ultimate in outdoor sound even though the size of this portable bluetooth
speaker might not be what some people will bring along for a camping trip at audio advice we like
going to the extreme and pushing audio products to their limits so we packed this up and we took it
camping and i have to say i was impressed even though this weighs 24 pounds i had no problem
transferring this from my car to the campsite when carrying this all by myself i really like the soft
tactile buttons on this it made it really easy for everyone to take turns being the dj
and having the ability to charge my phone while out in mother nature came in handy not only
for myself but also for my friends and family as well this helped us keep the music playing in the
background the entire night it was also nice not having to worry about drinks spilling or splashing
on this having said that i think it's safe to say this passes our extreme portability test
we really like the vg7se for several key reasons while having 40 hours of wireless playtime was
extremely practical for an all-night listening session around the campfire
it's the world-class outdoor sound you get from this that really impressed us the most even our
audiophile friends were deeply impressed with this clarity and its dynamic with only three
db down at 40 hertz the vg7se produces deep bass that sounds just fantastic when you're ready to
really rock out your outdoor party turn it up and you'll get everyone's attention and
their feet moving with world-class sound we hope this quick review has given you a
better idea of how this top-of-the-line portable outdoor speaker might fit in with your outdoor
entertainment or adventure needs if you have any questions about the soundcast vg7se give us a call
