At first glance, the Swiss Military Mortley Qua looks like the kind of Bluetooth speaker designed more for show than substance — five glowing RGB drivers lined up in an LED-lit soundbar chassis. But spend a few hours with it, and it becomes clear: this is a speaker built for people who want loud, reliable audio, functional features, and a little flair on the side — all without busting their ₹7,000 budget.
This 30W Bluetooth speaker is part soundbar, part party companion. It comes with quad passive radiators to push out solid low-end, Bluetooth 5.3 for stable wireless streaming, and support for USB, AUX, and TF cards, which means it’s as versatile as you need it to be. It’s not chasing minimalism or Apple-style chic — it’s going for utility with confidence, and in most places, it lands.

Let’s talk about sound. The Mortley Qua’s 30W output is loud enough to fill a medium-sized room, or even a modest outdoor gathering. It won’t blow away audiophiles, but for casual listening, movie nights, or background beats during a party, it gets the job done with clarity and decent punch. The highs are sharp, the mids reasonably balanced, and the bass — thanks to those passive radiators — has a surprising amount of presence for a speaker this size and price. Just don’t expect deep sub-bass or room-shaking rumble.
The RGB lights are a love-it-or-leave-it feature. They’re bright, vibrant, and clearly there for vibe-setting. If you’re hosting friends or just want your speaker to do more than sit still and play music, the lighting can actually make things feel more dynamic. But there’s no app control, no custom light modes, and no real sync with music — it’s aesthetic, not interactive.
Battery life is advertised as up to 10 hours, though real-world use on mid-to-high volume tends to bring that closer to 6–8 hours. Still, with Type-C charging, it’s easy to top up when needed. A digital display on the front provides a quick readout for input source or FM frequency — yes, there’s FM radio packed in too — another nod to Swiss Military’s all-features-included philosophy.
Build quality is plasticky but sturdy. It’s not premium, but it doesn’t feel cheap either. The physical buttons on the top are tactile and intuitive, and it holds its own when placed on a table or desk. You won’t get HDMI ARC or optical input, but at ₹6,999, that’s forgivable.
The Mortley Qua isn’t a premium soundbar. It’s not trying to be. It’s a well-priced, fully-loaded, RGB-equipped Bluetooth speaker that punches confidently in its weight class. With 30 watts of output, multiple input options, a built-in radio, and battery that lasts a full evening, it’s a great pick for someone who wants both sound and show — without the splurge.
