Good option for temperate applications without hip-hop and electro

The article in the c't 15/2012 I can only agree: The sound is adequate for the size and price of the dock, but does not perform miracles, more on that later. Processing pleases me well, coupling of three Android devices worked right away (the comic Fidelio app I have not even installed), the Micro-USB port can be moved sensible with the included attachment for wider equipment even sit my 10 "tablet firmly enough. But that is so large and heavy that the whole construction in the operation fairly swings, but this is perfectly OK and reasonably. That charging dock and music playing two separate pair of shoes, is very good, because you can include the phone at any time and use easily, without the music breaks off. The extra USB-A port for additional charging cable is a great idea (saves me another USB power supply a) and that you also analog sources via phone cable can connect also. Very flexible and because of a few buttons also incredibly easy to use (on / off, louder and softer).

Now to sound: that one can expect any sound miracles in size, should be clear. For us the unit serves as a mobile music station for the bathroom and kitchen, on the bedside table, it has its home. These scenarios do I measure the sound. For The Radio by compressed pop music sounds perfectly fine shallower music even pretty good. Unfortunately, hip-hop is not, to simply lack the bass; depending on the tone setting there is bass mush or Bass poverty. That was only to be expected, for fatness need fat boxes. What has shocked me almost anything, was the total failure in electric: Full pressure as Deicide, but mainly minimal techno are not to be borne, no matter what the sound setting. So always better than cell phone Speaker or the surprisingly good sounding tablet speakers, but when it comes to accurate, or at least any existing reproducing deep bass, the instrument must totally fit, completely overwhelmed. Even that was expected. With bass poor sound settings it sounds after all, only thin, that goes for the intended use clear, since pressure Full is not always on the menu.

Overall a nice device, the flexibility in terms of Android loading dock on Bluetooth speaker is currently as it looks quite a unique feature so you do not have much choice anyway. It's small enough that you can even carry it quickly through the apartment and it runs on four AA batteries even sometimes outside. And there's always somewhere that footprint is impressive small.

Whether one is worth about 100 euros, you have to think well, I for one am quite satisfied. On the other hand you will find, if you omitted the loading dock, already from 50-60 Euro probably similar sounding Bluetooth boxes, about the new Logitech. For me, the tablet has found his home on the dock, so the combination is visually quite well.
