Delivered the speakers in a stable box, which can be well used for storage. Positive, on the bottom of the box is once again the site of MPOW and the mail address for support. Inside the box is the actual speaker, USB charging cable, a jack, a manual and a guide for the return or exchange. Is not so good that the user guide is available in English only. An extra charger is not in the speaker. To load reaches a normal USB port, which should be available in some form in almost every household now.
The speaker himself makes a very solid stable impression. On the bottom it has a non-slip rubber backing. At the top there is a hook, because the speaker is also intended to be attached to the backpack or the like. On the one hand he has a small flap down. Behind this the connection of the charging cable and the connection is hidden for the jack.
On the other hand, there are three buttons: They are used to adjust the volume, the switching on and off, as well as special features such as paring, next track, answer, etc. In addition, there are on the sides, where the sound comes out at the top of another LED lamp which indicates the operation mode of the loudspeaker.
The weight of Boombags is measured 150 grams. The height of about 9 cm and a depth of about 6 cm.
Before first use, the speaker is fully charged. When fully discharged Box charging takes me 2.5 hours which is precisely also the time specified in the instructions. The battery is built in and I see no way to change it. The case may not appear to be open (except the hammer).
To turn the unit on the on / off button for two seconds must be pressed. It says a voice on Power. To switch off Pressing the button for 3 seconds and you can hear the voice say Power Off. If you want to the Speaker in Bluetooth mode with Bluetooth capability Connect device (Paring) you have to press the off / on switch for about 6 seconds. The voice then says Paring. Now you can on the other device, eg. B. Find the phone or iPad for Bluetooth devices in the vicinity and then finds the entry MPOW. If a pairing code are required, then enter 0000. If the device was connected properly you can hear from the speaker a friendly Speaker is connected. I have the first speaker connected to my iPad the first generation. That has worked very well. With the on / off switch can be playing the music stop pressing the plus button skips to the next track, minus button longer pushed back a title. Briefly pressing the plus or minus button regulates the volume. This works great.
Also, the link to my Huawei Ascend G525 went smoothly. You can receive calls through the speaker and speakerphone mode. For incoming calls, there is a purple flashing light except for the ringing tone.
If all options are Bluetooth connection fail, there is still the possibility of a direct connection through the phone jack. For this, simply insert the plug into the socket of the speaker, and then the other end into the headphone jack.
According to the manual of the speakers to play for at least 8 hours. For me it was more than 28 hours but not at full volume. Sonically makes the small speakers quite her thing. Of course, one may now expect performance as speakers of the highest class with mains power supply. But the device's also not intended, but to have fun, wherever you need it on hikes, beach, bike, etc.
Conclusion: I have checked the small speaker intensive and could not fault. The sound clear and loud. The coverage is for Bluetooth devices more than good. The speaker works for me even through multiple concrete walls throughout.
