Class sound for that size, good appearance: Fits to the price category

With sound and look of the small speakers in its size and price class meets the expectation.
How many have written before me, the sound quality is in this size category (!) Quite satisfactory.
The pairing works without problems. A reliable Bluetooth connection is up to 3 meters, then there may be short interruptions.
For 5 star.

Why did I then only awarded 3 stars ?:
- Feels extreme volume when switching on and after pairing, a soft switching is impossible.
- Volume control annoying in small steps because double assignment of keys.

In a rather quiet environment you can when you turn the speaker 'raise the dead' with the constant volume of the system sounds. Likewise, the volume after the successful pairing is also set to Felt 'Party volume' and must be regulated down again. The only remedy is that you press the top of the speaker in a cushion or to the body, then turn on the system and regulates the volume down. If this start-up procedure is behind one and the first few seconds are survived with a few interruptions, you can enjoy the sound. For my taste, the sound is a bit too middle-heavy, but top and perfect for the size and purpose of the 'By the way sound' at work sufficiently.

So everything was great - until you want to change the volume. As long as you can use for the volume buttons on the source, this is no problem.
But there are also systems in which the volume keys are disabled (for example, PS Vita). Then you can adjust the volume on the speaker only. By dual assignment of the plus / minus buttons with volume and track skip forward and back, the patience to play. Especially when you want to change the volume in small increments. Then you jump quickly between tracks back and forth. Extremely annoying, at least for me.

If you can live with these deficiencies, which has a super mobile speakers.
Thank you for reading ...

Update 2/11/2014:
After the speakers almost a week worked as a 'Arbeitsplatzbeschaller', I decided to send back the unit.
The main reason is the annoying volume control on the speakers themselves (as already described above). It is in practice not possible with a 'By the way-handle' the volume in small steps to change. No, quite the contrary. The small tin requires the full attention of the operator of the keys with double meaning. Finally, the idea was to 'volume control' already annoying. ; O)
Conclusion:
For me, this part is not suitable as a discreet 'Arbeitsplatzbeschaller' who can keep nobly in the background, from operation reasons.

I'll be the 3 star anyway.
After all, who can change the volume using the buttons of the sending system, which has no such problem.
The person must be able to live with the power-and the equally loud communications cracking. Another tip for: Anyone hear soft music needs / wants, which should still adjust the volume on the speaker slightly down, but higher on the sending device. Thus, the noise of the loudspeaker and the 'clicks' with any connection disturbances are minimized somewhat.
