Big sound doesn’t always have to come in a big package.

Soundboks is putting that idea to the test with its new Rider speaker, the smallest and lightest model in the brand’s lineup.

The Soundboks Rider arrives Sept.

17 for $599 and weighs 14.3 pounds, making it considerably more portable than the brand’s larger party speakers .

Despite its smaller frame, it can reach up to 118 decibels and is designed to bring high-volume listening to outdoor settings, from tailgates and beach days to backyard parties and weekend getaways.
