Braven leaves the outdoors behind with its Premium Home Series of speakers

Some of Braven’s most popular Bluetooth speakers are its most rugged models, those meant to be your companion as you head to the pool or into the mountains for a weekend getaway. The company actually offers plenty of different types of products, something its newest speakers — the aptly named Braven Premium Home Series — are meant to show off.

The flagship of the new Premium Home series is the Braven 2300. The largest and loudest of the three models comprising the series features extended range drivers and a built-in subwoofer. Using the Braven Smart app, two of the speakers can be paired together for stereo sound and even more impressive volume. This model is available in graphite or white, and sells for $350.

The Braven 2200m is smaller than the 2300 and boasts up to 10 hours of playtime using the built-in battery. It also includes wall-mounting hardware in case you want to set it up in one room semi-permanently. Like the 2300, the Braven 2200m is available in graphite and white. This model sells for $300.

The smallest and most portable of the Premium Home line, the Braven 1100 uses a single extended range driver and dual passive radiators for bass. This is by far the most portable model of the three, offering an impressive 28-hour battery life, with the built-in 8,800 mAh battery doubling as a charger for your mobile devices. Like the 2300 and 2200m, the 1100 can be paired with a second model for stereo sound. The Braven 1100 is available in graphite and white, and sells for $250.

All of these models are available now direct from Braven’s website and select retailers. For more information, see the Braven website.

AI-generated image of a person on a subway doing a video call on a phone.

The first time I encountered someone listening to their phone out loud in public, it was on a city bus and I was taken aback for two reasons. First, the volume level on the phone wasn't just audible to the person sitting next to them; our entire section of the bus could hear it. Second, it was a FaceTime call, and neither the person on the bus, nor their caller seemed to be the slightest bit hesitant to carry on their conversation in public. In fact, they appeared completely oblivious.

That was a few years ago. Since then, the problem of listening out loud has gotten much worse. I've encountered it in grocery stores, airport lounges, coffee shops, and even when just walking on the sidewalk. And it's not just phone calls/FaceTime. Music, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram -- you name it. If it's got an audio track, I've heard it blaring from the speaker of someone's phone. During a recent episode of the New York Times' excellent tech podcast, Hard Fork, a listener referred to the problem as an epidemic, and I don't think that's hyperbole.
