First-class sound, but the operation is poor
The Riva Turbo X is currently one of the best sounding compact Bluetooth speakers.
The sound is really on a very high level. No bloated, exaggerated bass, good treble and no squeezed mids.
I've listened to a few other Bluetooth speakers in my area and before that I had the Bose Soundlink Mini.
The Riva Turbo X beats the Bose by worlds.
What is not well solved, however, is the operation! I have no idea what the developers were thinking here.
Operations such as switching on and off, full battery, switching on the Turbo, etc. are confirmed with either voice announcements or beeps.
These signals are incredibly loud and the volume cannot be adjusted (they are also not linked to the set playback volume).
Want to listen to some quiet music at night - WOOOM! Super loud switch-on sound.
DIIING! DIIING! - Bluetooth pairing.
And when you switch it off again - WOOOM!
All nice and awake?
There are also sometimes problems with the AUX connection (jack plug).
The Riva does not have a hardware button to select the AUX input, but should recognise itself when there is a signal on the AUX.
This sometimes does not work satisfactorily. Had to disconnect the Bluetooth connections of the phones paired with the Riva a few times before the signal was detected on the AUX.
However, with the Bluetooth disconnected, the remote control via mobile phone no longer works.
In the meantime, it works reasonably well with AUX and a single mobile phone connected via Bluetooth for the remote control.
The Riva should urgently receive a firmware update that fixes the described deficiencies!Pro
- First-class sound, musically at a very high level
- Good workmanship
Contra
- The operation is poor and should be urgently improved with a firmware update.
In total
The ensemble good running perfection is still missing.
Pro
- Yes
Contra
- No
Great!
Operation is okay, sound is top!

Riva Turbo X are recommendable because the price performance is unbeatable they come Locke with devices from the double price segment (250fr.) at
I paid 115 chf.
The Riva Turbo x convince in all respects, battery performance, charging speed, also serves as a power bank, haptic, the sound is inherently good I use the app equalizer FX so I get the maximum sound quality out the app equalizer FX you can still increase the maximum volume.I wouldn't overdo it, though, because the speakers reach 100dB and distort the sound. you can also boost the bass with the app, but the bass is already pretty powerful out of the box, so it's worth boosting the bass a bit in the car.Pro
- Relatively compact for the performance
- Price-performance
- Battery power
- Powerful bass up to 60Hz
- Powerbank function
- Touch sensor
Contra
- Mini USB is only for updates
- The Riva Turbo X app has no equalizer
- You have to put up with the weight of 1.4 kg
- Batteries are not replaceable
Very happy with this!
Sounds really good, fills the room and the bass is strong, especially at higher volumes.
