Our verdict

Pros and cons
Pros
- Entry price of $49.95 puts Noxgear well inside the speakers and soundbars field
- Support covers email, phone and help centre, so help is not email alone
- IPX7 water resistance suits poolside and beach use
- Focused range of speakers and portable speakers means less choice to sift through
Cons
- Range stops at speakers and portable speakers, so Edifier's soundbars and hi-fi are out of reach
- Noise cancelling is no, which matters less here but rules out quieter listening
- Warranty of 1 year sits below the longer covers some rivals offer
- Battery of 15 hours trails the field on endurance
Who it suits
- Shoppers who want one portable speaker and nothing else
- Budget buyers who would rather spend less than on a soundbar
- Poolside and beach listeners who need IPX7
Who should look elsewhere
- Home cinema buyers, who should look at Edifier or JBL for soundbars
- Headphone and earbud buyers, since Noxgear does not sell them
- Long trip listeners who want more than 15 hours of battery
Core features
Noxgear makes speakers and portable speakers, so the catalogue covers speakers and portable speakers and nothing outside that. Edifier and JBL both reach further, listing headphones, earbuds and speakers and headphones, earbuds and speakers, which include soundbars and hi-fi for Edifier and headphones, earbuds and turntables for JBL. Skullcandy sits between them with headphones, earbuds and speakers. Battery life on the range runs to 15 hours, and IPX7 rates the units for water resistance. Noise cancelling is no, so these are speakers to listen with rather than block sound out of. Cover runs for 1 year.
How it compares on our data
On entry price, Noxgear ranks 28 of 64 brands, which puts it in the cheaper part of the field it competes in. Battery life ranks lower, at 55 of 61, so the endurance of 15 hours is below what most rivals in this category manage. Warranty lands at 29 of 56, close to the middle once 1 year of cover is set against the field. The pattern is consistent across the three measures: strong on what a speaker costs to buy, ordinary on what you get back afterwards.
The company behind it
The brand trades as Noxgear, LLC, registered in the United States, and has been building audio products since 2013. Support runs on email, phone and help centre, which means email, phone and a help centre are all available rather than a single channel. Contact options are the practical part of buying a speaker, since portable units get dropped and charged constantly. There is no regional regulator or licence attached to this brand, so terms and cover are the parts worth reading closely.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a Noxgear speaker cost?+
Noxgear lists from $49.95. That is the entry point across the shop, and it sits with the cheaper brands in the speakers and soundbars field rather than at the top. Speakers and portable speakers are the categories covered.
How long does the battery last?+
Battery life runs to 15 hours on the units listed. On the site ranking for this measure, Noxgear sits at 55 of 61 brands, so expect less endurance than most rivals here. Plan charging around a single session rather than a long trip.
Do Noxgear speakers have noise cancelling?+
Noise cancelling is no across the range. For a portable speaker that is normal, since the unit is meant to be heard rather than to quieten a room. If blocking background sound is the point, Edifier or JBL carry wider headphone and earbud ranges.
Is the speaker waterproof?+
The range carries an IPX7 rating for water resistance, which suits poolsides, beaches and showers. It is a resistance rating rather than a claim of being fully sealed, so keeping the ports clear after a splash is sensible. Regular indoor listening is unaffected either way.
How long is the warranty?+
Cover runs for 1 year. Across 56 brands in this category Noxgear ranks 29 on warranty length, so it is a middle result rather than a long one. Skullcandy and JBL both list speakers alongside other categories, which sometimes carries longer cover.
What products does Noxgear sell?+
The catalogue covers speakers and portable speakers, so speakers and portable speakers only. Edifier lists headphones, earbuds and speakers and JBL lists headphones, earbuds and speakers, both of which extend into soundbars, hi-fi or headphones. Narrow range means less to compare, but also less to pay for.
How do I get help from Noxgear?+
Support runs on email, phone and help centre: email, phone and a help centre. Having a phone line alongside email is useful for a brand whose products take knocks outdoors. There is no licence or regional regulator attached to the brand, so keep the purchase and warranty details handy when you call.
Where is Noxgear based?+
The brand trades as Noxgear, LLC and is based in the United States. It has been making audio products since 2013. The company details matter mainly for warranty handling, since cover is 1 year long and claims follow the registered entity.
