The Berlin company Dockin is no longer unknown in the world of Bluetooth speakers. With boxes like the D Mate (2nd generation) they have already tried to compete against competitors like JBL or Bose. A top placement in the list of the best has not yet been achieved. With the D Fine 2, the provider is once again sending a wireless loudspeaker into the race. Not only is it bigger, it should also sound better and run longer than its relatives. Can the 150 Euro Dock-in be convincing? The answer in the test.

Complete List: The Best Bluetooth Speakers
At first glance, the simple black D Fine 2 looks a little boring. The 11x31x11 centimeter block weighs an impressive 2.3 kilos. Unfortunately, the Dock-in does not have a transport belt like the JBL Xtreme 3 and the box is therefore less suitable for a hiking tour. The housing has protection level IPX5 and is protected against water jets (from any angle). The D Fine 2 doesn’t mind rain, but it shouldn’t be too close to the pool. Buttons for volume and playback are on the top. They have a comfortable pressure point and are easy to reach. However, it is advisable to take a look at the operating instructions, as not all key commands are labeled and some functions are hidden behind unobvious button combinations.
The D Fine 2 does not only play music via Bluetooth. On the back there is a stereo input (3.5 millimeter jack) which can be used to connect the box to a PC, for example. The speaker also charges tablets and smartphones. The corresponding USB socket is also located on the back of the dockin. The battery life is also good: the Dock-in played a full 21 hours and six minutes at a time. Not even the JBL Xtreme 3 managed that and stopped half an hour earlier.
Many functions are hidden behind the few buttons on the D Fine 2.
