Another interesting point worth mentioning is that the handle of the Stone doesn’t protrude out much which makes the overall form-factor extremely compact. There is a tiny display which denotes what mode the speaker is on which is a nice touch. The bass is not overly pronounced and that’s a good thing because sometimes it tends to drown out the other frequencies. While plastic dominates the materials used here, a nice touch is the metal grill that conceals the drivers.As far as the build quality of the speakers goes, it looks sturdy enough to withstand accidental drops from varying heights.While the audio output is great for most, this is not an audiophile-grade speaker and you will observe that at volumes north of 75 per cent, there will be some drop in quality with slight distortion being observed. Zoook over the last few years have built on their brand image and launched a range of party speakers that are well-received across India.The microphone that comes bundled with the speaker is made well too and this looks like it can last for fairly long as well. For most casual listening, we feel that the performance of the Zoook option lives up to its billing and it will not leave you wanting.Having spent a few days listening to this extremely portable solution, here are our unfiltered thoughts on the Zoook Rocker Thunder Stone.Battery life on the Stone is another strong suit as Zoook has fitted four integrated Lithium-ion batteries rated at 2400mAh.

And, to round off the connectivity features, Zoook has added Bluetooth 5.Design, BuildZoook has steadily built its name by offering speakers that are attuned to the youth of our country.The Zoook Rocker Thunder Stone follows in this design trend and although it looks modern, it also bears resemblance to the boombox speakers that dominated the markets in the 1980s and early 1990s where a cassette player would feature in the centre. This makes it a great option for the rough outdoors or even for that matter as a gift for your kids. Sure, it does have its downsides such as slight distortion at higher volumes and the plasticky build; but these can be easily ignored as you get a lot more than what you actually pay for. To the left of the knob, you get the buttons for controlling tracks and switching between modes such as Bluetooth and FM for example.VerdictThe Zoook Rocker Thunder Stone is priced in India at Rs 2,399 and at this price range, it is one of the best party speakers available. However, while being paired with a variety of devices, both Android and iOS, we noticed that the sound can reach pretty high decibels without struggling at all.
