Background and Identification

The Sol Republic Punk is a micro wireless speaker that is marketed to be water-, dust-, and shock-resistant. The Punk speaker is advertised as a small but powerful wireless Bluetooth speaker with six Watts of power. It was first available in September 2014.

The Punk is a low-frills version of the Sol Republic Deck speaker, which includes speakerphone capabilities, a color-changing LED on the front, and NFC pairing (the Punk does not include any of these features). The Punk speaker does include a quarter-inch threaded mount so users can attach the speaker to a variety of bicycle and camera mounts that are sold separately. It also includes an input as well as an output, so users can connect the Punk speaker to a stereo or home theater and use it as a Bluetooth adapter. It includes a 3.5 mm audio cable for input purposes.

According to a review of the Sol Republic Punk speaker from CNET.com, it produces loud sound for its small size with minimal distortion. It also has a decent battery life (8 hours) and offers an extended wireless range (up to 60 feet, which is around double the range of comparable Bluetooth speakers).

The Sol Republic Punk speaker was released in black, dark blue, red, and green body colors. It includes the name “Sol Republic” in capital letters on one side of the speaker and a stylized version of the word “SOL” on the top face of the speaker.
