EISA Awards: Award-Winning Product
Each year, dozens of European journalists gather to select the best electronic products of the year. Awarded by a diverse and impartial jury, the EISA (Expert Imaging and Sound Association) awards recognize exceptional products for their performance, design, or ergonomics.
Overview
The portable speaker Morel Biggie combines a refined, minimalist design with surprising sound performance; this 18 cm square model conceals a two-way audio system capable of delivering rich, detailed sound. Its long-range Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity, 20-hour battery life, and compatibility with advanced audio technologies make it an ideal companion for discerning music lovers on the go.
Morel’s heritage in a portable format
Morel, a renowned manufacturer in the world of high-end audio, brings its recognized expertise in handmade speakers and Hi-Fi equipment to the Biggie. This compact model directly inherits the sonic qualities of its bigger brother, the Högtalare, while adopting a more accessible, portable format. The brand’s artisanal know-how is evident in every aspect of this speaker, hand-assembled to ensure flawless quality.
Contrary to what its name suggests, the Biggie stands out for its modest dimensions (18 × 18 × 11.5 cm), which do not prevent it from delivering sound that meets the brand’s standards. This technical feat showcases Morel’s ability to miniaturize its expertise without compromising audio quality.
A design that blends aesthetics and functionality
The Biggie’s design is defined by clean lines and a contemporary aesthetic that allows it to blend seamlessly into any interior. Its square shape with sharp angles and matte finish give it a discreet yet assertive presence. The speaker features an animal-friendly faux-leather handle, making it easy to carry while adding a touch of elegance.
Available in nine different colors (including black, white, red, dark blue, light blue, olive green, and turquoise), the Biggie adapts to all decor styles and personal preferences. The front grille, magnetically attached, can be removed to access the components or simply to change the speaker’s visual appearance.
The control panel, subtly integrated into the front, includes intuitive buttons to control power, volume, Bluetooth pairing, and wireless stereo mode, offering immediate, effortless operation. These essential functions are accessible without compromising the product’s clean lines.
A sophisticated sound architecture
At the heart of the Biggie is a meticulously designed two-way bass-reflex audio system. This setup includes a custom 10 cm woofer ensuring precise low-frequency reproduction, paired with Morel’s signature 2.5 cm soft-dome tweeter, renowned for its faithful rendering of high frequencies.
The system is powered by Class D amplifiers delivering a total of 60 watts (45 watts for the woofer and 15 watts for the tweeter), achieving an impressive sound level of 95 dB at 1 meter. The frequency range spans from 40 Hz to 20 kHz, covering the core of the human audible spectrum.
Integrated digital signal processing (DSP) optimizes acoustic performance in real time, ensuring consistent tonal balance regardless of listening volume. This precise calibration allows the Biggie to faithfully reproduce all music genres—from classical to electronic—with warmth and definition rarely encountered in this category of portable speakers.
Advanced connectivity and generous battery life
The Biggie incorporates the latest generation of Bluetooth technology (5.3 BLE), offering an exceptional range of up to 50 meters without obstacles. This means you can leave your smartphone indoors while enjoying music in the garden without worrying about dropouts or signal degradation.
Compatibility with Auracast technology expands usage possibilities, while the TWS (True Wireless Stereo) function lets you pair two Biggie speakers to create a wireless stereo system with enhanced channel separation and soundstage. For non-Bluetooth sources, a 3.5 mm auxiliary input is also available.
The speaker houses a rechargeable 28 Wh lithium-ion battery (11.1 V, 2600 mAh) offering up to 20 hours of playback at moderate volume. Recharging is via USB-C, with the option of a full charge in two hours or a 20-minute quick charge providing around four additional hours of listening. A handy feature also lets you charge a smartphone via the speaker’s USB-C port.

Frequently Asked Questions
How exactly does the Biggie’s Auracast-compatible technology work?
Auracast is an advanced Bluetooth feature that enables audio broadcasting to multiple receiving devices simultaneously. This technology turns your speaker into a transmitter capable of sharing your audio with other Auracast-compatible devices, creating a personalized broadcasting system.
What is the main difference between the Morel Biggie and the Högtalare?
The Högtalare is the flagship model that inspired the Biggie. The latter retains the essence of its predecessor’s design and sound quality but in a more compact format and at a more accessible price. The Biggie is therefore a more portable and affordable version while maintaining the brand’s quality standards.
What is the procedure for pairing two Biggie speakers in stereo mode (TWS)?
To create a stereo pair, turn on both speakers, then press the TWS button on the first speaker until you hear a tone. Repeat the operation on the second speaker. The two Biggies will synchronize automatically, with the first becoming the left channel and the second the right channel, providing true stereo separation.
Does the Biggie speaker remember previously connected devices?
Yes, the Biggie remembers the last paired devices. When powered on, the speaker will automatically attempt to reconnect to the last device used if it is within range and its Bluetooth is enabled. If you want to connect a new device, you must first disable Bluetooth on the previously connected device.
