This review was made possible thanks to a review sample provided by BlueAnt.
The company had no input nor saw the contents of this review prior to publication.
The BlueAnt Soundblade is also covered by a 1-year full warranty with a 7-day resolution guarantee.
An extra tall Soundblade, courtesy of some extendable rubber feet.
It all works great and most importantly works immediately.
The same goes for Bluetooth with your mobile devices, too.
This is just meant to be a soundbar, and it does accomplish that job.
By far, the most impressive part of the BlueAnt Soundblade Under-Monitor Soundbar is just howloudit gets.
Well, one, actually.
Where most soundbars are long and narrow, the wide Soundblade squats on your desk.
This remote and the touch controls you can see behind it work well.
BlueAnt could’ve done with making this soundbar a little longer and a little narrower.
Another positive with this design?
The rubber feet on the bottom.
This soundbar still takes up a lot of space, enough that I don’t actually have it directly under my monitor.
However, they’re all too easy to knock loose and don’t feel sturdy in the slightest.
They’re simply rubber, and installing them gives the Soundblade a concerning amount of lateral movement.
That all brings me to my final point.
These rubber feet are quite easy to knock off and make the soundbar feel a little unstable.
If you’re willing to sacrifice a little audio quality for that benefit, this is the way.
There are just enough compromises here to really make that $200 price point stand out, though.
If it’s on sale, I absolutely recommend it.
The Soundblade is ridiculously loud, but its audio quality leaves a little to be desired.
The BlueAnt Soundblade is a useful addition to my setup, but you should buy it on sale.
