The speaker is compact and light, making it easy to carry around. It fits easily in a backpack or can be carried by hand, making it a good choice for outdoor use like small get-togethers or trips.
In terms of connectivity, the SP-70 offers a lot of options. It supports Aux input, USB drives, TF cards, and even has an FM radio mode. For wireless use, it comes with Bluetooth version 5.3, which connects quickly to phones, tablets, and laptops. Charging is done using a Type-C cable, which is faster and more convenient than older micro-USB chargers.
Overall, the design is simple, portable, and the speaker gives you flexible ways to listen to music whether you are indoors or outside.
Performance
Ubon Gold Edition SP-70 Deluxe comes with a 16W speaker output, which is good enough for small rooms and outdoor gatherings. The speaker is tuned to deliver clear sound with a focus on bass, aiming to give a fuller music experience.
In our testing, we played a mix of Bollywood songs across different genres — from soft romantic tracks to upbeat dance numbers and heavy bass songs. The speaker handled the lows, mids, and highs reasonably well for its size and price.
For bass-heavy tracks like 'Malang' and 'Ghungroo', the speaker delivered a decent punch in the low-end. The bass was not overpowering but added good energy to party tracks.
Mid-range songs like 'Tera Ban Jaunga' from Kabir Singh sounded clear, with vocals standing out nicely without being drowned by the music. Instruments like guitars and soft drums also came through cleanly.
High notes and sharper sounds in songs like 'Nashe Si Chadh Gayi' from Befikre were handled well, although at very high volumes, the highs sometimes felt a little softer.
Thanks to its stereo audio setup, the speaker creates a wide sound that easily fills a small room or outdoor space. While it may not match high-end speakers in terms of depth and detail, it delivers an enjoyable listening experience for casual music lovers and party settings.
Battery
Packed with a 2,400mAh battery, the company claims that the speaker can last up to 6 hours on a single charge. During our testing, the speaker lasted around 4.5 to 5 hours of playback at moderate volume levels, which is close to what was promised.
As mentioned earlier, there is a USB Type-C port for charging, which is convenient and faster compared to older micro-USB cables. It takes about 2 to 2.5 hours to fully charge the speaker from zero.
Verdict
Ubon Gold Edition SP-70 Deluxe wireless speaker is a good option for anyone looking for a budget-friendly portable speaker. Priced at Rs 1,599, it offers a clean design, multiple connectivity options, decent sound output, and reliable battery life. The speaker is capable of handling different types of music well for casual listening and is easy to carry for outdoor use. While it may not deliver very deep bass or very high volume like more expensive speakers, it meets everyday needs without much compromise.

Govt slashes security testing fees by 95% to boost local telecom manufacturing
Synopsis The telecom department has slashed security evaluation fees for telecom and ICT products by up to 95%, capping charges at Rs 50,000. This move aims to ease costs for domestic manufacturers and boost R&D. It benefits firms like Ericsson, Nokia, VVDN, and Dixon. Government R&D bodies are exempt from fees until March 2028 to spur innovation. iStock The telecom department Monday sharply slashed security evaluation fees for telecom and ICT products in a bid to make the security certification process more affordable for domestic evaluation fees were reduced by as much as 95% which previously ranged from Rs 2-3.5 lakh depending on the equipment category. Under the revised structure, the maximum testing certification labs can charge is Rs 50,000, from an earlier Rs 3.5 lakh. This will significantly reduce financial strain on telecom and ICT manufacturers. The move is expected to positively impact the operations of Ericsson, Nokia, Cisco, and telecom equipment manufacturers such as VVDN and Dixon Technologies, said analysts. 'This is a good step to spur innovation among local players. Earlier, each new product being developed locally had to be tested. With the fees rationalised, it becomes cheaper for us to innovate in R&D,' said Ashok Gupta, chairman, Optiemus Infracom, which makes telecom products including routers and set-top-boxes. Currently, products such as IP routers, Wi-Fi CPEs, and 5G Core SMF are under mandatory security testing, while Optical Line Terminals and Optical Networking Terminals are subject to voluntary certification. Gupta added that the security testing fees are added as part of the costs billed by the contract manufacturer to its customers, which was then passed down to the end-customer. However, security testing fees are only paid once when developing the product, and does not typically have a significant impact on final pricing, he government has also exempted security test evaluation fees for its R&D institutes such as CDOT and CDAC until March 31, 2028 as part of a wider effort to encourage innovation in public sector research.'This fee reduction is expected to bolster the competitiveness of Indian telecom manufacturers, stimulate local innovation, and provide a more straightforward pathway to market entry for both domestic and international Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs),' the ministry of communications said in a statement.
