Born from a collaboration between the Hellfest festival and the British manufacturer Ashdown, the HBS-40 carries forward the idea that made the brand's reputation: a sound that "holds" the mix and a strong visual identity. Inspired by the aesthetics of Ashdown amplifiers and adorned with finishes linked to the Hellfest universe, this speaker targets enthusiasts who want an object consistent with their musical culture without sacrificing performance for style.
This "signature" approach is reflected in details that evoke the brand's audio heritage while adopting a truly portable format. The result: an official Hellfest Bluetooth speaker that embraces its character and naturally fits into a modern listening setup, from the living room to the concert road.
The HBS-40 is aimed at those who live music everywhere: before a gig, after a concert, during "off" rehearsals, traveling, picnicking, or partying. Its portable design and long-lasting battery make it a simple ally to pull out when the vibe rises, whether to restart a metal playlist, lay down a more chill rock base, or amplify an outdoor corner.
It also suits domestic use very well: office, bedroom, workshop, or guitar corner. The goal is clear: to rediscover energetic sound and immediate handling, with readable controls and a visual identity that doesn't look like a "generic" speaker.
The HBS-40 lets you choose the most convenient listening mode. Via Bluetooth, it quickly connects to your smartphone, tablet, or computer for hassle-free portable use. You also have an AUX input to connect a wired audio source, as well as a USB port to expand playback options depending on your setup. This versatility is ideal when switching between different devices or when you want to secure your outdoor playback.
Want a fuller sound, with a better-defined stereo stage and improved left-right separation? TWS (True Wireless Stereo) technology allows pairing two HBS-40 speakers. This is a particularly effective solution for larger spaces, parties, or simply to gain immersion on dense productions typical of saturated and highly dynamic music.
Beyond sound, the HBS-40 enhances the experience. Its iconic VU meter strengthens the connection with the amplifier universe and the "stage" imagery. The LED controls contribute to intuitive use, even when the light dims, and all finishes reflect a bold aesthetic directly inspired by the Hellfest spirit.
In short, the HBS-40 is a wireless portable speaker that combines style, practicality, and attitude. Whether you're preparing a setlist, reviving the vibe at the campsite, or listening to your classics at home, it showcases a rock identity without compromise.
