Morel Hifi is one of those premium audio brands that I have been peripherally aware of, but had not had the chance to try out. The company has made a name for itself in hand-assembled car audio and home speakers. It also released a minimalist portable Bluetooth speaker called thea few years back that was very well received. This year, Morel boosted its portable Bluetooth speaker offering in a big way with the new BIGGIE.
The front is completely covered by a cloth mesh grill that matches the case color and attaches magnetically. Pop it off and the BIGGIE suddenly reveals itself to be all business. The black speaker cabinet is dominated by a 4-inch woofer, with a tweeter and a bass reflex port on display, as well as a vertical row of backlit buttons.
Looks are one thing, but how does the BIGGIE sound? The good news is Morel didn’t spend the entire budget on making a speaker that looks good. The BIGGIE has some bonafide audio credentials including that big, 4-inch woofer, a 1-inch tweeter, 60W of class D amplification with a customized DSP and a front-ported bass reflex cabinet design.The speaker puts these components to good use. The BIGGIE plays music with a satisfying low end, solid mid-range and crisp highs.
With 60W of power on tap , the BIGGIE has the power to fill a good-sized space with thumping music. It’s also loud enough to be heard over the neighborhood noise in a backyard party situation. Morel says the BIGGIE employs a dynamic EQ that continually adjusts the sound by volume to prevent distortion.I should mention that the BIGGIE’s battery is good for roughly 20 hours of use.
