Soundboks alternative in Copenhagen: why rented speakers win

A lot of people search for a Soundboks to rent in Copenhagen — and that is understandable. It is easy to recognise and easy to explain. But if you have ever borrowed one for a party, you probably know the problems too. The battery dies mid-evening, the sound runs out of room as the party grows, and the price of renting or buying one is far higher than most people expect.

There is a better alternative. One that costs less, sounds better, and never runs out of power.

The problem with a Soundboks at a party

A Soundboks is designed for outdoor use on battery. That sounds clever in theory, but in practice it creates three problems:

The battery dies. A Soundboks typically lasts 4-8 hours depending on volume and temperature. Turn it up — and you will, because it is a party — and the battery can run out after a couple of hours. Picture it: it is 11 PM, the evening is at its peak, and the music stops. That is exactly what happened to Frederik Scharling, the founder of Lejhøjtaler.dk, when he borrowed one for a birthday party. The battery died after 20 minutes.

The price adds up. A new Soundboks costs over 6.000 DKK. You can rent a Soundboks 4 from us for 795 DKK for a whole weekend if that is what you want — but for the same money you can have two speakers and more sound.

The sound does not scale. A Soundboks is fine for a small gathering in the park. But when the group grows to 30, 50 or 80 guests, it simply cannot keep up. You end up setting two or three of them out to get enough sound, and suddenly the price is astronomical.

Our answer: professional sound from a wall socket

At Lejhøjtaler.dk you can have either. If there will be no socket nearby, we have the Mackie Thump GO at 395 DKK and the Soundboks 4 at 795 DKK — both battery-powered with up to 12 hours of playtime. But if there is power, and there almost always is, a pair of powered speakers gives you more sound for the money.

That means:

• No battery anxiety. With mains power the music runs all night without interruption.
• Professional sound quality. Powered speakers with clear treble and deep bass — not the compressed sound you know from a battery speaker.
• A setup that scales. The small speaker package covers up to 30 people, the large one 30-50. For more than that, Party package 150 (2.345 DKK) and Party package 250 (3.645 DKK) take over with a subwoofer and stands.

What does it cost?

Prices start at 395 DKK for the Mackie Thump GO and 595 DKK for the small speaker package with every cable included. No hidden fees, and the price is the same for 1 to 5 days. You can pay by card online or when you collect.

For comparison, a Soundboks 4 from us is 795 DKK for the weekend. You get one battery-powered speaker — free of cables, but without the stereo width two speakers give you.

Collection or delivery in Copenhagen

You can collect at Vermlandsgade 66, Copenhagen, where there is always one hour of free parking. Our small speaker package weighs just 12 kg and goes on a bike without trouble.

Prefer delivery? We drive anywhere in Copenhagen for 495 DKK — or 795 DKK if we collect it again after the party.

When does a Soundboks win?

Are you heading to the beach, the woods, or somewhere with no power at all? Then a battery speaker is the right call. But for the great majority of parties — in a flat, a courtyard, a basement, a rented venue, a company event — there is always a socket nearby. And then there is no reason to pay more for less sound.
