If looks could kill, the Fender x Teufel Rockster Cross would be facing life without parole, with a psychoanalytic Netflix documentary well underway. This mid-sized Bluetooth speaker is the bigger brother of the equally charming Fender x Teufel Rockster Go 2, but with even more of a rockstar edge. The Go 2 is doubtless a looker, but its circular speaker intake results in a more cutesy soft-rock style. The Rockster Cross meanwhile, designed to look like the top of an amp stack, is a tad more metal — less Buddy, more Ozzy.
But does the Rockster Cross’ performance match its persona, or is its face just begging for a bottle of urine? Well, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. With decent bass, room-filling sound, premium build quality and, of course, ravishing good looks, the Rockster Cross does a lot to justify its mid-range price tag.
