Paired with Dual Devialet Subwoofers, the Sound X can deliver a sound experience bigger than its form factor can lead you to believe. It also has the Hi-Res certification from Japan Audio Society, which is one of the highest award that a HiFi speaker can receive.
The Huawei Sound X will be available for PhP 19,990 via the brand’s official Shopee and Lazada Stores and select retail partners nationwide.
