- Speaker with Suction Cup
- USB charging cable
- Manual (only in English)
+ Design:
The design is a bit strange for the bathroom. The dominant orange (and blue) color and round shape speaker looks a bit like a fire alarm button. On the back there is a large suction cup (7.5 cm diameter), which adheres very well on my tiles (previously thoroughly cleaned). Even when operating the speaker adheres firmly to the wall. Remains to be seen whether the good adhesion persists long term too.
The controls are located on the front and easily accessible. However, the inscription is barely visible in case of adverse lighting conditions. It is true that later the situation of operating in the mind, but a little light color on the symbols would be very helpful here. Possibly showering / bathing him some day other persons who are not familiar with the location of the control buttons.
The speaker is located on the back. There are many small holes which allow sound to pass.
On the bottom is covered USB port for charging the speaker. Front on the V + button below there is a small hole for the microphone, for making telephone calls.
+ Operation:
The operation is quite simple. For coupling the power button simply press and hold until a beep sounds and a blue light flashes. The speaker appears in the Bluetooth search as "Abco tech FM". After pairing sounds again a beep and the blue light glows permanently. Let's get started already. Start the player in the smartphone or tablet and already the music comes from the speaker. With the middle button you can stop playback (pause) and the left and right keys in the titles before or go back.
It is even possible to accept incoming calls and to talk to the other party. Hooray finally be reached by phone under the shower and in the bath! The music stops and you hear a ringing tone. Now you can take with the phone button in the middle of the conversation. After talking the music playback will automatically resume. The caller is well understood and is even on the built-in microphone also. You can even dial the last number dialed on the phone middle button.
According to technical data of the speakers has the water protection level 4 (protected against splash water. It is not designed to be completely submerged in water. So he works for me in the bathroom very good and hitherto normal water splashes could not harm him.
Especially beautiful here is the built-in FM radio, which I missed in similar speakers so far. The FM reception is very good, acceptable in my bathroom outside the bathroom. But does the radio not to blame because thick concrete walls are in front of it and the bathroom has no window. The operation of the radio is easy. Perpetuating the forward or back button, a frequency scan is performed over the whole range and the stored station. Then you can switch through the forward and back button the transmitter.
Conclusion: A good speaker for use in the bathroom or other humid areas. The sound of this small speaker is surprisingly good and at max. Volume very loud. The minimum volume I find so ok. However, my ears are not so particularly well. Accepting telephone calls and the conversation also works in good quality. Very good Bluetooth receiver, even through multiple concrete walls. Long term and acceptable charge time. According to the favorable price-performance ratio has earned five stars in my opinion the speakers.
