The 600 grams of weight make Although noticeable, but also an extremely powerful battery (1300 mHa lithium polymer battery) is installed: Fully charged, it creates loud Description 6-8 hours of continuous use. In fact, to make it at a low volume, for example, when running only soft music to work by the way, even a little longer.
It is a robust, high-quality crafted speakers, the one likes to touch and use. On the conference or seminar table he is an absolute eye-catcher due to its appearance and lighting. At the same time, it is of course also possible to place it somewhere virtually invisible.
12 watts of power does not sound much slaying. But the result is still quite dynamic, clear and remains comfortable even at higher volumes. Describe sound meaningful, is generally difficult because it depends of course on one's own feelings and listening. I would definitely call myself a sophisticated, when I hear music in my spare time. From the sound quality here I find the speaker mediocre, because I miss a certain sound depth and fullness. The bass is indeed audible but not dominant. Who it attaches great importance, will be rather disappointed. As a school grade I would give it a 3.
The handsfree function has already proven to be helpful and make sense: If a call in which is (so conference participants, students, colleagues) important for a group, can all listen to the same. The music is stopped.
I use the ShoqBox indoors only to play music and voice files. What initially at least - is fun, the futuristic motion sensor, which allows you to control playback and skip tracks. However, one must be careful not to accidentally set it in motion (happens fast!) And should therefore possibly think in time to disable. Meanwhile, I wish buttons.
Another small drawback is the somewhat too short range. My apartment is in two parts: My bathroom is at the end of a long corridor. Thick walls force the ShoqBox unfortunately in the knee, even if the distance is less than 10 m. All in all, I would like to be awarded 3.5 stars rounded up results in the 4 for a clever little box that is not 100% perfect, perhaps, but fun.
