BOSTON, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Andover Audio is now shipping its first portable stereo hi-fi speaker: the FreePlay. Designed and engineered in Boston, FreePlay brings true stereo sound and musical realism to a category where loudness too often dominates sound quality.
Taking Andover’s philosophy of Hi-Fi for Modern Living beyond the listening room, FreePlay combines true stereo performance with thoughtful, design-conscious styling that complements today’s homes and lifestyles. Equally at home on a patio, kitchen counter, den bookshelf, or on a weekend adventure, FreePlay delivers exceptional sound and looks great doing it. With its travel-ready design and IP67-rated dust/water protection, FreePlay keeps the music going, come rain or shine.
Built on a true stereo architecture, FreePlay is designed to preserve the dimensionality and emotional impact of music. FreePlay delivers greater instrument detail than typical mono portable speakers thanks to its dual 25mm dome tweeters, two 5.25-inch woofers, and its 160 mm rear-mounted passive radiator. FreePlay’s voicing draws directly from Andover Audio’s home systems to deliver a believable soundstage, clear highs, and natural bass for a balanced full-range listening experience.
Available in a palette of sophisticated earth tones—Ivory, Olive, and Slate—FreePlay’s refined silhouette and premium finishes allow it to blend naturally with modern interiors and outdoor living spaces alike.
From the beach to the golf course or a weekend tailgate, FreePlay is made to move with you, providing up to 24 hours of playback on a full charge at moderate volume. For added convenience, it has a USB-C port for bi-directional charging, a Qi-compatible wireless phone charging pad, and a 3.5mm auxiliary input along with microphone support. With Bluetooth 6.0 and LE Audio support, FreePlay offers stable, reliable performance.
With no app required, setup and control are simple, intuitive, and seamless. Conveniently located on the top of the speaker, the onboard controls give you instant access to power, play/pause, volume adjustment, track forward/back, Loud mode, linking, and a battery-level indicator.
For everyday listening, its true stereo performance creates an immersive experience from a compact, robust chassis. When it’s time to entertain, Party Mode allows users to wirelessly connect up to 99 additional FreePlay units for synchronized playback across expansive indoor and outdoor spaces. Combined with the selectable Loud Mode, which provides an additional 6dB of output when needed, FreePlay scales with ease from personal listening to crowd-pleasing performance.
Weighing just 9 pounds, FreePlay is easy to grab and go, with a fold-down handle for easy carrying, while the utility tie-down bars on the side panels allow users to clip, strap, or anchor the speaker securely.
Andover’s FreePlay speaker is available on www.amazon.com and www.andoveraudio.com at an MSRP of $429.
