The assessment has increased from 2 to 3 stars.
This is due to the excellent customer service of anchor who unhesitatingly sent me a replacement unit.
Although in this case is the sound podcasts little better but still worse than the Mobi. 2
Possibly the also lies at the BT connection, I imagine when I use the device wired to my GS3 there are fewer pipes, rushing only slightly. Will it continue to test and possibly adjust the assessment accordingly.
+ Beautiful packaging, all cardboard, not plastic. For this, a nice booklet.
+ Timeless design, matt black plastic, impressively small dimensions.
+ No problems at connection setup and during the short test period and no dropouts (tested with Samsung GS3).
+ No annoying announcement of BT status, only a short beep.
+ Loud sound without any distortion (with music)
~ Sound passable in music for the size, it lacks something the ups and of course bass but you must
of course not expect too much.
- The Sound Voice Recording (Podcasts / Audiobooks etc) is unacceptable. There is a constant background noise, voice playback is too dull and add to that a constant buzzing.
Compared with the Mobi 2 (thanks to the annoying announcement also goes back) between the playback quality worlds. While the Mobi 2 absolutely clear reproduces the same material without any background noise, it is as already described in the anchor very unclean and even when the size contemplates unsustainable.
Conclusion. Since I use the device the speaker for voice recording is for me unfortunately completely useless mainly.
