"Your brain needs a second to process what's happening because the sound doesn't match what you expect from a speaker that size. I experienced that exact moment at CES 2026 while listening to Brane Audio's Party Pro prototype, and for the sake of the rest of the hotel guests, Brane only limited the demo to 10 seconds and played its audio at 25% capacity. The sound is so thundering (especially the base notes), Brane had to quite literally hold its speaker back to avoid noise complaints."
"The low-end reproduction didn't just sound powerful; it revealed details in familiar tracks that had been buried under inadequate bass response for years. Only after the demo did they mention the kicker: we'd been listening to a single RAD2 driver at half capacity. The shipping version with two drivers will hit four times harder, which means this might legitimately be the first speaker good enough to make your neighbors consider moving."
"They claim a 30-fold deep-bass advantage over conventional drivers, which sounds like marketing fluff until you hear it for yourself. The genius is in how it handles the lowest frequencies. Instead of just producing a generic boom, it articulates the bass, letting you hear textures and notes in the sub-100Hz range that are usually a muddy mess. You start hearing things in your favorite songs you swear were never there before, which is a wild and slightly surreal experience."
Properly reproduced deep bass can briefly confuse the brain because the sound doesn't match expectations from a small speaker. Brane Audio demonstrated the Party Pro prototype at CES 2026, producing such intense low-end that the demo was limited to 10 seconds at 25% capacity to avoid noise complaints. The Party Pro exposed sub-100Hz textures and details previously buried by inadequate bass response. The prototype used a single RAD2 Repel-Attract Driver at half capacity, and the shipping model with two drivers promises roughly four times the impact. RAD2 emphasizes articulation over generic boom and claims a large deep-bass advantage.
