GOVO GoLoud 980 – The Perfect Outdoor Speaker for Every Road Trip

Take the party with you!

At RevWheels, our road-trips and outdoor drives are all about good company, fresh air — and great music. We love the process of loading up the car, putting the playlist on, and hitting the road. But we’ve often faced the same problem: when the car is parked at a destination, or when we want to chill outside the vehicle, relying on the car’s audio system either means the engine idles (uncomfortable, noisy, and not ideal) or the battery drains — neither is practical. That’s exactly where the GOVO GoLoud 980 comes in.

From the moment we unpack it, the GoLoud 980 makes it clear: this isn’t just a basic portable speaker. With a 160 W RMS power output, it offers serious sound for group settings and outdoor moments. That means more than background music — it means full, vibrant audio capable of filling a picnic spot, a roof-top stopover, or a resort lawn after a drive.

Connectivity is built for flexibility. The GoLoud 980 supports Bluetooth v5.3, giving smooth wireless streaming from phones, tablets, or laptops. But that’s not all — if you prefer wired or offline options, you get AUX input, USB playback and even TF card support in some listings. Those options are ideal when you’re in remote spots with patchy connectivity or just want to plug in older devices.

The feature set extends into usability and fun: dual microphone inputs turn the GoLoud 980 into a mini-karaoke setup, perfect for team-night stops or song breaks while parked. Also built in are multiple audio modes (for example: Normal, Party, Pop, Rock, Jazz) which help tailor the sound depending on whether we’re cruising quietly or in full celebration mode.

For the kind of drive-out-of-town lifestyle we at RevWheels do, portability and convenience matter just as much as power. While the GoLoud 980 is larger than pocket speakers, its design is tuned for being moved, set up, and used on the go — no vehicle power tether required. On a full journey, you can park, unplug, and still have the sound flowing without worrying about the car’s battery or engine noise. Govo says one can expect about 6 hours of playtime and charging takes around 8 hours.

And if you’re wondering about price and value: the 160 W variant is available in India for around ₹12,999 (depending on offers) on major platforms. That pricing puts a powerful, feature-rich speaker in reach — for people who love music, love trips, and don’t want to compromise the audio experience just because they stepped outside the car.

In short: the GoLoud 980 offers a strong combination of robust power, versatile connectivity, fun extras (like mics & EQ modes) and portable real-world utility for outdoor settings. For our driving-and-destination lifestyle at RevWheels, it bridges that gap: we don’t have to choose between relying on the car or settling for weak sound — we get both mobility and quality. If you’re someone who loves taking the music beyond the car-ride and into the destination, this speaker certainly ticks the boxes.
