If you’re looking for a Bluetooth speaker under ₹1000, then there is a 20W soundbar from Zebronics that features punchy sound quality and a modern design. Here’s the review of Zebronics Vita Bar 150 Wireless Bluetooth Soundbar.
Usually, it is priced at ₹1299, but you can get it at ₹999 on some festive deals. I also bought it on sale, and it’s a steal of a deal for the features it provides.
Design and Build Quality
The very first thing that catches the eye is the design of the Zeb-Vita Bar 150 speaker. There are two cross-shaped green LED lights on the left and right sides of the speaker, along with a customisable RGB strip light at the bottom of the front side.
The RGB strip light can also be synced with the music you’ll be playing, and it looks amazing, especially in a dark space. You can also turn the lights off through the button provided at the top of the speaker.
There are five buttons at the top for mode, volume up, volume down, play/pause, and a button to turn off or customise the LED lights.
The power switch is present in the back, along with the multiple ports it offers, like Type-C for charging, a microSD card slot, a USB port, and an AUX port.
Its build quality is also solid and well-constructed, and has sharp cuts which make its design sleek, dynamic, and modern.
Sound Quality and Performance
Zebronics Vita Bar 150 Bluetooth Soundbar is equipped with dual 52mm drivers and passive radiators, delivering a 20W RMS output (10W + 10W) with a clear and balanced sound.
It has decent bass, but I noticed some distortion when playing it at maximum volume levels. So if you want deep bass, then you might not like it much.
When used with an equaliser, the soundbar performs well if you tweak the frequencies as per the song you’re playing. If you combine its clarity and decent bass with the design it features, this Zebronics speaker justifies its price.
Connectivity and Features
As mentioned above, the Zebronics Vita Bar 150 soundbar stands out with its multiple connectivity options and the hero feature — RGB LED lights.
- Bluetooth v5.3: Ensures stable wireless connections for smooth playback.
- USB, microSD, and AUX ports: Allow playback from various sources.
- FM Radio Mode: Built-in tuner for listening to local radio stations.
- TWS (True Wireless Stereo): Pair two units of the same soundbars for a wider stereo sound coverage.
- RGB LED Lights: Add a visual flair, enhancing the ambiance.
- Type-C Charging: Modern and convenient charging method.
Battery Life
The company claims up to 15 hours of playback, but it has some conditions. The Zebronics Vita Bar 150 Soundbar should be played at 50% volume and the LED turned off to match this kind of battery life.
Most people would play it at 80-90% volume, and what’s the point of the amazing RGB lights if they are turned off? So, you can expect 3-4 hours of playback with these conditions, and it may be okay for some people.
The charging time is also long; it would take approximately 6-8 hours to charge it fully. Another thing I noticed is that you can’t play it with a charger plugged in extremely low battery percentage.
Zebronics Vita Bar 150 Soundbar Review
The Zeb-Vita Bar 150 Bluetooth speaker is a great choice for those seeking a budget-friendly soundbar with a modern design and a plethora of features.
While its sound quality is not the best, especially for deep bass lovers, it offers a clear and balanced sound. If you get it under 1000 Rupees, then this soundbar is truly a steal of a deal that you should not miss. Get one for you, and have fun!
