the way here to Bolse is in no way be attributed to traditional advertising measures by the manufacturer.
Whoever ends up here, which is already a specialist in "search for the optimal mini speaker" and finally arrived here
or accidentally ended up here through the Amazon Filters "4 or more stars" and "Best Price".
Bolse 10W Hochzeilig Bluetooth speaker with DSP technology (two large 50mm driver 5W), 10 hours of play time with built speakerphone
First of all, what is waiting for you with the Bolse C1?
The Bolse C1 is significantly cheaper alternative to the namesake!
The Bolse C1 is to be found in the points design, materials and workmanship in the big leagues!
The Bolse C1 is an endurance talent!
The Bolse C1 provides the speaker, the sound phenomenal!
These points I would like to highlight in more detail below in detail. You can tell here already. I adore the device,
nevertheless I try most objective comparisons to other devices known to me to draw, the other to one or
are likely to be well known. Despite only simple tools, I managed to set a video
which is quite the speaker justice and gives an idea of how it sounds phenomenal in Natura.
(Unfortunately, I am still there, the video to get set on Amazon, irgenetwas works because not ...)
The motivation for this video comes from Oluv with its speaker Compare at Youtube.
His dozens of articles about speaker in his blog are always helpful to me with my speaker search,
which has initially found a stopover in the area mini speaker here.
So, but now we go ...

But these technical properties of still say nothing about the quality of the speaker.
Visually, the speakers quite a bit ago and the manufacturer promises "modern design" -> Check.
Also for the "small size" applies -> Check.
As it is ordered with the option "high acoustic quality"?
First, notice that the speaker While Bluetooth v4.0 dominated, however, is apt-X nothing to read.
Let's see how this affects the tests.
The maximum volume is 80dB with moderate but sufficient for the sound of a living room for the normal requirements
and as background music for a celebration.
Sound Test
Ahead I informed myself and so there is an identical version called "The Pulse" by the company Audio Dynamix in England.
This is on the German market is not so available and sofgar with nearly 90 pound sterling also significantly more expensive.
I've assumed that most likely are both speakers from the same manufacturer, so I've already
Reviews of existing Amazon.co.uk read. This praise the speaker to the skies and compare with the SoundLink Mini, said "The Pulse" will be even better.
So I assumed that this should also apply to the Bolse C1.
With this bias, I then opened the package and immediately coupled the speakers with my Galaxy S4.
That was just under three seconds amazingly fast! The sound from the speaker was immediately available!
And what was then played back, was very impressive even without Apt-X.
I own or owned a Grundig Blue Beat GSB 500 (now sold), which had already been delivered a very good sound for me.
Now I had to directly ask what I ever liked it so much on the me.
The reviews from the UK do not overdo it. The SoundLink from Bose Mini was not available to me,
so I am unceremoniously gone into an EP Shop, which led them; in the luggage Bolse.
On friendly demand, if I may compare both times, smiled the seller. When he then saw the Bolse imprint,
he had no hesitation to let both run in the store sometimes.
But after a few minutes he was curious to know what I had brought there, because of the Bose Bolse was second to none.
On the contrary, the seller also felt the sound overall a little clearer.
The vote of Bolse is from about 100 heart a little "thin" in the bass range, but what I feel as a natural.
In deep bass he's very coordinated presence, with the Bose also a clear emphasis on the bass from 100Hz takes.
This becomes noticeable for example in rock music (Money for Nothing by Dire Straits). The guitars sound has beautiful with the Bolseein volume.
At Bose, the guitars are a bit dull and not act so directly.
In treble range it has done to me the "Dance of the molecules" by Mia. Here the Bolse plays kirstallklar while the Bose here
is a bit more reserved.
Furthermore, I still have some minimum and Electronic heard songs, here I can not say which is better speakers.
Here is the basic tuning of Bose but the nose slightly forward because it is something "bässer".
Through use of an equalizer but can be almost equalize both speakers, and it creates the Bose but not in the field Treble
join the Bolse. However, I must honestly admit that both speakers with matching equalizer settings
still playing at the same level.
Excited I was to the DSP effect. Just to prevent misunderstanding. It's not about the pitiful
Settings on the smartphone, the sound horrible in my opinion all or affect the sound too much.
The Bolse C1 has a built-in DSP, the sound virtually widened when switching.
The change shall be adjusted so that they certainly knows how to please me.
The effect is most noticeable when the speaker radiates into the room and it is a little away from him.
Genuine space-filling stereo of course by the design already impossible. The audible with enabled DSP sound I do not feel,
as if he comes from a punctual source. A well-dosed and quite useful effect without me here of reduced sound quality
need to talk. Very nice that such a thing is possible and has been realized.
That could not offer the Bose SoundLink Mini.
To get to an approximate idea of what is able to do just in the bass range of the speaker, best times "for" the video.
The DSP-Efekt is naturally receptive conditionally unnoticeable and due to my unprofessional facilities there are here and there noise,
what is not but at Bolse.
But please do not listen anyway on the laptop speakers or other Quäkelautsprecher. I recommend in any case, a headset, which you know,
that it can also play properly bass. You will be surprised.
(Photo was taken I have with my Samsung Galaxy S4; amazing how well the microphones are yet)
The royalty-free song starts with medium volume and from about 1:30 minutes he is playing at full volume.
From 2:30 minutes, I then raised to a minimum and immediately on some 25% of volume.
It is striking that the S4 balances the volume independently. Nonetheless's nice to hear that at maximum volume
eliminate distortion and even at whisper a vollvolumiger sound is present.
After so much running text in the sound, I would like to summarize it so.
Thumbs up for the sound of the C1 Bolse! My recommendation to buy!
The speaker sounds the whisper-quiet operation with sound neat slight emphasis on the bass (loudness) and
punchy at high volume and not overridden, the boosted bass slightly decreases.
This is also the Bose SoundLink Mini that.
Material / Design
The processing and the material 1a. A complete aluminum housing with a perfect finish and no sharp edges
or burrs. Only the ON / OFF switch could be a bit higher quality. This is slightly less than friemelig slide switch
executed. Here I had a little wertigeren switch wished to match the aluminum style.
The charging socket would have been better back what acoustic reasons may not, however, been possible.
Operation
Very nice is the acoustic signaling of the volume decrease or increase the unit itself.
The beeps will this play in the volume currently set. If the maximum volume is reached, dasmit
a varying in frequency beep signals.
The Kopeln or disconnecting a Bluetooth source is also displayed with a long beep.
The speaker connects to independently within just 2 seconds with the last used source, when it becomes available.
That is a record. About the NFC Speaker has not, but what I find totally boring and uneventful, and for me is not a negatier point.
The three keys sin doubly occupied djeweils. Briefly pressing the functions ago, Play / Pause and Back.
Before and pushed back long before the volume is changed.
When pressed the Back and Forward buttons, the DSP function is switched on and off.
An infuriating side effect, however, is that at the same time with Poweramp jumps back a title in front of or.
Here, the C1 is not very mature yet, because in spite of the simultaneous operation of the first recognized keystroke auchals control signal to
BT control is weitergegebn as is only evaluated for the DSP circuit. Here the manufacturer can optimize the version 2 yet.
The C1 is in a standby mode (LED flashes) when it receives no signal BT. Thus, a resumption of the operation is immediately possible.
In as far as the strain on the battery, I test to date and the findings would still supply later. Completely off only works
by actuating the mechanical slide switch. Good for those who want to wake you up tomorrow with the unit. ;-)
Also, during loading of the speaker is functional, which is not realized for all manufacturers so.
Conclusion
Fast facts summarized what therefore awaits you with the Bolse C1?
The Bolse C1 is currently the noblest, best sounding and most persistent speakers in the class of Bluetooth Mini Speaker
and thus, in my view the new class leader before his namesake, the Bose SoundLink Mini!
Little things can still be improved, but bother me at any time.
Even the speakers is an insider tip and creating this review on 15.08.2014
here available exclusively at Amazon.com for only 64.99.
Let's see what that looks like in the future ... ;-)
PS:
Should I even forgot details, I will complete this in the next few days here.
Moreover jaauch still missing long-term experience with the device, I Weche also will argue.
Until then, have fun with your Bolse C1!
