LG NA8550 Portable Speaker (20W, Bluetooth) Silver (Electronics)

Customer Review

Sound: 4 of 5

The Sound of Music LG Flow P7 is generally good and clear, however, very dependent on the location of the box. Both distance and underground change, especially the impression of the bass. So I felt the sound at the beginning of the use rather bassarm, on some tables / wooden substrates it is sometimes but stronger.

For the compact size of the speaker you get a balanced sound, which is ideal as a replacement of laptop built-in speakers. Also watch movies makes so much more fun. Picnicking outdoors the sound is also strong enough to have talks next musical accompaniment. However, one should pay attention when placing the fact that the right side of the LG shows the listener, because despite visual impression not resounds from both sides equally strong sound.

Design: 4 out of 5

The speaker is super handy and not too heavy, allowing unrestricted mobility. So the unit follow me very often in the kitchen, from time to time even in the bathroom and of course outside. By the rubberized bottom of the speaker is slipping everywhere. I have the anthracite-colored version to which I would prefer a black version however. The arrangement of the buttons and inputs is kept simple.

Operation / Battery Power: 3 of 5

The instrument is recognized in an instant from each "player" and connected without additional installation of software via Bluetooth. The range for Bluetooth keeps out with me in the apartment is not much more than a wall (5-6 meters), after the sound starts to break.

The buttons are all placed on the top and react well. Volume, Bluetooth or Wired Operation and of course an on / off switch can be selected here. The latter is from the feeling a little weird, sometimes I press more often or longer, as he lit longer, even if you turn off the device. A sound will play to help here but as well when turning (an "ON" sound and "OFF" tone). For the volume control you have to hold + or -.

Unfortunately, the battery keeps the Bluetooth mode is not nearly as long as promised. In the manual is 12 hours talk, and I immediately assumed that this is only possible via cable operation. But even here, the battery is quickly felt empty. I guess there are ultimately 4-5 hours with Bluetooth (normal volume) and 6-7 hours with cables. Desk So just about acceptable, but the warning signal for the emptying battery submerged but on quite quickly. This sounds repeatedly at the end of battery life and also the otherwise white light on the On / Off switch is colored orange.

Accessories / Features: 3 of 5

The accessory has a fairly short charging cable is an even shorter audio connection cable, the Bluetooth-less operation allows. In the latter, the brief is more beneficial and the Supplement to the cable is a very nice bonus. Unfortunately, the device has no sound options, an equalizer would have been very nice especially for the bass. Or the possibility of eliminating the battery warning signals.

There is only the already advertised opportunity with several devices via Bluetooth to access the LG. I almost never use, it worked when testing with smartphones flawlessly, with laptops, it took a little longer and you had the device but then only on a laptop manually disconnect and enable the next device.

Conclusion:
I find the price of LG Music Flow P7 little too high when compared with competing devices him. So it is for example the optical twin Bose SoundLink Mini, which I was able to repeatedly use with friends to compare, in terms of sound and design a nose ahead.
Overall, though, you get a handy little friend with very good sound picture on the go or at home, but leaves nothing in terms of battery life and features a couple of wishes - 3.5 stars.
