The front of the speaker is protected by a silver metal grill. The overall build quality of the speaker is made of hard plastic. When shaked rigorously, there isn’t any components ratling inside.
On the right side of the soundbar, there is a rotary knob that you can use the turn on the speaker and adjust the volume according to your preferences. If the volume is set above 60%, the audio output will sound distorted.
The only differences of both speakers is just on the interface located on the left side.
Here is a closeup comparison of the interface between the SonicBar BT150 (top) and U150 (bottom). The BT150 provides additional inputs for user to play audio (TF Card Slot to insert a micro SD card that contains audio tracks).
The SonicBar feet uses some kind of soft gray foam to absorb the vibrations from the speaker when its playing audio, rather than using rubberized anti-slip pads to grip on slippery surfaces.
