Another major design element is the modular design, which the brand claims helps in making it easier to repair and extend its overall life. This is possible as the company is directly selling additional covers, materials, and even color for improved customization. Under the hood, the new portable speaker is quite capable with its four driver setup and four digital amplifiers for a 280 watts output. It also comes with a 5.25 inch woofer and dual 2 inch mid range drivers and a 3/4 inch tweeter.

The speakers promises 360 degree sound and comes with support for AirPlay 2, Chromecast, and Spotify Connect as well. The A5 can last for up to 12 hours on a single full charge and its top panel even doubles as a wireless smartphone charger as well.
