I have acquired this Bluetooth-enabled speakers for 20 me a few days ago. First, there is once again a credit to the shipping from Amazon. Ordered Tuesday night and Thursday came to the package :)
Brief history:
I was looking for a Bluetoothbox for my iPhone for some time. Mainly the speakers in the bathroom, with barbeques and the channel is to be used. The speaker should definitely be Bluetooth capable for me and do not exceed the 30 limit.
After a longer search on Amazon, I came across the speaker of the brand EasyAcc (under these ASIN: find B00CJRZ31S). Immediately I found this box interesting since there are at the competitors even speakers in this price range (about 20), but then mostly without Bluetooth function.
The speaker comes with a Auxkabel, a mini USB charging cable, the dismounted lithium-ion battery and a short English manual.
Commissioning:
Before you want to take the speaker for the first time in operation, it is necessary to "incorporate" the supplied lithium-ion battery.
If the speaker is turned on, a blue light flashes two times quickly and you will hear an acoustic signal.
The look:
The speaker is quite simply kept in a matt black. The speaker grille is framed by a narrow light blue stripes. The speakers are also available with an orange border: EasyAcc® Portable Bluetooth Speaker Mini Speaker Wireless bluetooth speakers, Support SD Card & USB Drives FM radio function, Colour: Orange
On the top are 4 buttons to adjust volume / song before jumping back, play / pause function, mode selection (switching between radio or music from the external device). On the back is the An ejector and several interfaces for example, SD card, USB flash drive, and of course Auxkabel the charging cable.
Through four rubber feet on the bottom of the speaker is slipping on smooth surfaces. Also the speaker is very handy and not too heavy. So a perfect companion for traveling.
What I personally like very well that a blue light flashes when the loudspeaker is in use. Once you charge the battery, a red light illuminates additionally permanently.
Sound / volume:
So I have to honestly admit that I am pleasantly surprised. The speaker really has a good sound. Even at the maximum volume of the sound is still pretty good. However, you can adjust the volume, neither his fellow man, nor his ears to;)
Features:
You can use controlled devices SD card, USB flash drives, bluetooth and Auxkabel. In addition, even a radio and a speakerphone in the speaker integrated.
Bluetooth function:
As mentioned above, I use the speaker in connection of an iPhone. The connection is really easy and will take place without problems. You just have to select the Bluetooth mode on the speakers and the iPhone. The speaker will be immediately recognized as the "Q8B". An acoustic signal can knows that the connection has taken place successfully. As the process for Smartphone's and MP3 players from other manufacturers, I can not say unfortunately. But I assume that it works the same way. ;)
Really good, I like that I can go off the songs directly on the box, so I have to dig my phone out of my pocket not always when I'd like to skip a song.
The range of the Bluetooth speaker is approximately 10 meters.
If one does not use a bluetooth enabled device, you have the possibility to use the supplied Auxkabel.
Auxkabel:
Using a Auxkabels this speaker works like any other music system also. You can connect the speakers using the supplied Easyacc Auxkabel to an MP3 player, smartphone or computer.
USB Stick and SD card:
You can play the music normally from a USB stick or an SD card and play the songs by using the pre - change and Back button. If you can turn off the speaker, but plug the USB flash drive or SD card, the speaker noted when restarting the recently played songs, and you can continue to listen to on the site.
Radio function:
As a little extra, a radio is built into the speaker.
Since one of the device has no fold-out antenna, the reception is not optimal. I always ask the speaker on the windowsill. There is reception to listen without noise radio.
Something disturbing is additionally set up the correct radio station. A long holding the Play button will start to search for channels automatically. Then you can by using the pre - select his desired radio station and Back button. However, since there is no frequency display, you have to laboriously through each radio station click.
The radio station is saved, making it even after the A, - available on and off the loudspeaker.
Speakerphone:
If you have your phone connected to the speaker and gets a call, you can answer with the Play button the call.
I have the speakerphone used only twice for testing. Operation via the speaker is really simple. However, it came with two phone calls to disturbing feedback.
The lithium-ion battery:
The battery lasts surprisingly just 6-7 hours at medium volume.
Since no mains charger is included, you have to connect the speakers to your computer for charging. One can continue to use the loudspeaker during which it is loaded via USB cable.
I personally stick the speaker to charge with the supplied mini USB cable to a USB hub. This saves me the turning on the computer.
This speaker is no need for a permanently installed battery. So you can perform with a defect in the lithium-ion battery without any problems an exchange. Retrospectively, is indeed no longer a matter of course, as many battery's are integrated into the device. If the speaker is connected to a power source, you can operate the speakers without built-in battery.
There is a 3.7 Volt 850 mAh lithium-ion battery. On the Battery "BL-5C" is and was used for the old Nokia phones.
For almost 5-6 you can carry a spare battery in auction here on Amazon: Nokia BL-5C battery for Nokia 1100/2112/2270/2280/2285/2300/2600/2850/3100/3105/3120/3600/3620/3650 / 3660/5140/6108/6280
Finally still bleating at a high level: P:
The pity is that no bag for safe transport of the speaker is included in delivery.
Also, it is somewhat disturbing, that there is no display for the radio frequency. So it takes a long time until you have the right station is found.
Overall I am very pleased with the speakers. Especially the price is unbeatable for the above features at the moment.
Hopefully I could help you with this review something ?!
In any outstanding issues, please write a comment. I'll try to answer those as soon as possible.

I have the bluetooth speaker now for over two weeks use. Time for a little update :)
Pleasantly surprised I'm from the battery as it holds just 6-7 hours. Keeps even longer than specified in the product description.
Unfortunately, I have also discovered a small disadvantages.
The specified in the product description 30 meters range Bluetooth speaker is wrong. After 10 meters there is a connection error between the speaker and your smartphone. But possibly also vary from smartphone to smartphone.
The seller has now changed the mentioned reach in the item description of 30 meters to 10 meters. :)
I am still very satisfied and can fully Recommend this speaker.
