First, the coupling of the devices. On New Germany "pairing" or "pairing". In my case, DSS happen by chance. The unit arrived, I unpacked it and pushed the slide on the Bluetooth icon. A light came on - by the way are very discreet and elegant, the whole thing - and the unit display appeared in the device list of the Bluetooth on the iPad mini. But this only because I already had just open this menu, because I wanted a Bluetooth speaker login. That is to say, not to say that opens the Bluetooth menu of itself; do not misunderstand! I had just happened to already open.
Thus, the device immediately appeared in the list with the note: "Not Connected". Once tapped, it took about 3 - 4 seconds later and everything was done. I then clicked Simply press "Play" (ie on the iPad) and off we went. My personal, initial reaction to what came out of it was: "Holla ...!" I had a rather thin, tinny sound expected. But what was there came out ... ... Holla! : O)
Now it's getting interesting again and we come to the bass. Gentlemen, what do you expect for me from such a small, lightweight thing? One could of course take a subwoofer and a car battery for power - then you would also have decent bass ... - but I think this contradicts the idea of a small, lightweight speaker that you can hang on the belt. Or the backpack. Depending on. Yes, the bass is thin. With the heights can not cut glass. A party room can therefore not provide sound properly. Who has these or similar claims, as far as possible should leave it alone, thank you.
Who but a really small, lightweight device searches, with the man - without audiophile demands - can be heard at the breakfast table, at a picnic, in the hotel or somewhere cozy music / radio, can order here safely. If you really need bass and crystal clear highs, should also please search in a different price range. In a higher.
A word about the volume adjustment on the unit. For it has no ... A few wags complaining about that we must not be further than a few feet away, but at the same time complain that you can not adjust the unit volume. The device should therefore be as far away from the setter. Whether iPad, Motorola cell phone, iPhone, Galaxy or whatever. And then you complain that you can only control the volume on the player device, which one has in the trouser or jacket pocket with him, while the speaker a few feet away is ... I just wonder what is meaningful. Each up times and a few feet back and forth to run the volume to adjust, or to take my phone out of my pocket and to change the volume so. But that should each decide for themselves.
Conclusion: The audio artist who expect rich bass and crisp highs - and for less than 40.- Euro ... - will not be happy here. Perhaps for 400 euros, it can be. But not here. Anyone looking for a small, lightweight and therefore extremely portable speakers, both with cable (jack) and / or Bluetooth playing music, can stop looking: o)
A word to the colors. The Orange and Blue Khaki cost more than is downright outrageous. If the blue color - or even the Orange - because so much more expensive? I hardly think so. Blue and Orange is more pop, sure. But why just up going a couple of euros, is ... difficult to understand. And another thing. The color choices are blue, orange and khaki available. But the image shows Oliv. And if you order Khaki, Olive comes. This should be corrected on occasion. Khaki is a covered Braunton. Olive a Dark Moss Green. A very dark. The color makes the device is not bad, no way. One should offer only the colors that you also sent later. Right ...?
