Visually, the speaker does not have to hide. He is not one of the models by an unusual appearance, such as a handbag design, stand out, but it looks classy, timeless and yet modern. The black model thus fits in every room and on every device. Those who prefer a more colorful, of course, the possibility of a different color, such as buying, for example light blue.
Since the battery is summoned, it could start immediately. We tested it with the Wiko Darkside. Enable device via the switch on the side. After the smartphone finds the device within a few seconds and connects easily with him. The link should also work via NFC, which we did not use and therefore could not try. The Bluetooth connection is very good and also breaks down not far from. We could go to the speaker in the first floor and have had a good reproduction quality. For other devices, here breaks off the connection. This one is not forced to leave the smartphone directly located next to the device or to stay close.
The quality we tried with different music, such as Katie Melua, Halloween or classical music, but also with an audio book. In general, the quality is of course depending on the recording quality, but generally speaking, the transmission works without noise and the volume can be adjusted very well. From pleasantly quiet so you could sleep at night, to a consumer volume when you have friends around him. The device has an additional bonus, which is called G-sensor. By changing the angle of the speaker, you can switch between direct sound and surround sound. You can clearly hear the difference. In general, the sound is much fuller and stronger when compared to the Beat Bag, which had us already so excited. You can tell definitely in this device that the extra cost is justified.
The battery lasts a long time, moreover. According to Sony, he will hold around 10 hours of course, depends on the volume, but in our case, that is a normal level and every night for about an hour of music, podcasts / audio book, the battery will last nine days. The charging is done quickly, because after about 2 hours it is fully recharged. It is nice that the device automatically goes into standby and therefore naturally saves battery power when you should forget it once.
Finally, I would like to touch on the splash guard. Especially in summer, when such a speaker at the lake, beach, swimming pool or in the garden is used, it can quickly render times Splash, approaching a wet hand or the first raindrops. In contrast, the device is protected and it just rolls off. However, more than this can not splash on the unit. So do not throw or leave out in the rain for fun in the pool.
'' 'Bottom line' ''
To go, friends or mobile at home listening to music or audiobooks, the device is a great thing. Who still appealing value sets here on a sound, will thus make no mistake. Sony shows again that they know their job and every penny is well spent. But who says, I just need the sound and the quality does not have to be perfect, need to look at more favorable devices once, because these are all that is perfect.
