HMD may be preparing to expand its product lineup beyond phones with what looks like a very budget Bluetooth speaker. A new leak suggests that the company is working on a portable speaker called the HMD Boom E1, which is a basic sound piece.
The leak comes from a known HMD tipster on X who goes by the name HMD_MEME’S, who shared both the specifications and images of the upcoming speaker.
HMD Boom E1 Specifications (Rumored)
According to the information, the HMD Boom E1 uses a 4-ohm horn paired with a 52mm driver. It is capable of delivering a maximum output of 5W. That’s modest power by today’s standards, but fairly typical for compact speakers.
One notable feature is its IPX7 waterproof rating, so the speaker should be good to survive splashes, rain, and even brief submersion in water. This makes it suitable for outdoor use, whether that’s at the beach, near a pool, or during a short hike.
Connectivity options appear simple but practical, with Bluetooth 5.0 for wireless audio and an AUX line-in for wired playback. There’s also a built-in microphone, which could allow the speaker to double as a basic speakerphone.
Moreover, the Boom E1 is said to pack an 800mAh battery and charges via a USB Type-C port.
The leaked images show a fully blue, circular design. The front is covered by a fabric mesh, while the top carries the “HMD” logo. We can also spot physical controls — including power, volume up and down, and play buttons — on the bottom. There’s also a lanyard on the side to add a bit of portability.
Unfortunately, there’s no word yet on pricing or launch timing. Based on specs, the HMD Boom E1 looks like a no-frills speaker aimed at the budget segment.
