First, look and feel of the small Zeppelin quite convincing. It is processed stable and very clean, the keys have a good pressure point, and the rubber coating on the bottom side is the small as grown on virtually any surface. The equipment with AUX port, speakerphone, NFC and micro SD slot can also be seen. Very useful, I also think that the Flashmop off automatically as soon as a few minutes with no input signal. So you can the Flashmop very good for listening to music before going to sleep to use, or do not worry about the battery, if one times forgets to turn it off. That I would want with all Bluetooth speakers!
Unfortunately, we no longer really see through the fabric covering much of the pretty piano lacquer imitation when you stand in front. He also is thus quite sensitive, I would not grab him in a full backpack without an extra case.
In the most important discipline, the sound, there is unfortunately most criticisms. Because the device is missing, as most portable Bluetooth speakers, despite passive radiator just the bass. He sounds thin and weak, and has also still a peak in the treble range. On clean midrange there is nothing wrong, but overall sounds of Flashmop simply pointed and zischelig. The placement in the corner of the room creates since no remedy, simply lacks substance. Since you have already properly fumble at the equalizer to tease out a reasonably balanced sound. With a gentle drop-off to the heights back and a boost of several dB 60-125 Hz it sounds a bit warmer and more balanced, but lost thereby also strongly level stability a.
What brings us directly to the next problem: really loud, the Flashmop namely already not innately. Additional Equalizing makes things any better then. The specified 85 dB are a bad joke, the Flashmop not even make half the volume, to acknowledge without this burden with significant distortion. This is window dressing. 85 dB are namely not just a little, and if you already cocky advertises the device should meet these expectations at least to some extent, and not throw in the towel already at 70dB.
Add to that the really annoying and amateurish produced announcement as soon as one turns the Flashmop. The Asian voice can be replaced through German voices, but the sound as amateurish and nervous after a short time. In addition, they are very noisy. If you switch the unit in the company of other one, surprised and irritated glances are guaranteed. This is in stark contrast to the posh exterior of the speaker.
Who wants to know how to properly adult sound brings out small volume out, and with his Speaker will do more than just listen to audio books, should listen to the same expensive Bolse C1. After mopping the Flashmop literally the ground up! If you can live with the slightly thin sound and the low level of strength, gets to the Flashmop a well-made and sturdy machine with a least very sophisticated midrange and lush facilities.
