When unpacking then the first surprise. The device is encased in gray aluminum, only along a circumferential strip of plastic, which serves as a base and on the pairing button is housed draws. In addition, a plastic strap protects the remote in silver volume wheel, with which the device is also switched on and off. At the other end of the device there is a rubber cover. Will this open, to get to the AUX input and the charging port through which the device via Micro USB can charge using the cable supplied together with socket adapters. Closed the cover protects the connectors from dust and liquid. On this cover, the device can also be placed vertically, however, I would refrain, as it falls so easily.
The first impression and the processing could convince with pure elegance and stability so. Now we come to the most important - the sound.
My iPhone 5s and also that Nexus 5 of a friend can be linked easily with the Bluetooth Speaker. If you want to conserve battery, provides the compound simply by jack cables.
The sound itself is for me is the biggest surprise. After a few seconds my reservations were gone. The speaker provides a detailed picture and despite the small size a solid and warm bass. No comparison to the cheap and small mobile speakers I'm used to.
In addition, the BT6000 is really loud. Full blast is hardly possible a normal conversation in the immediate vicinity. However, at full volume come the added built on both sides of the device speakers to their limits and the highs sound somewhat distorted. The maximum volume is but really noisy and is unlikely to be needed in practice, so I prefer this from no points, because at normal volumes the sound is clear, quite balanced and confident with beautiful bass.
Conclusion: The Phillips BT6000 Bluetooth Speaker delivers good sound, is extremely loud and fun. For this purpose it is processed elegant and noble. He does well when grilling on the garden table or on the windowsill in the bathroom because it is also splash-proof. Those who are willing to invest a little more money than in small plastic boxes, will definitely not be disappointed. Convincing sound and workmanship, and that value for money is good.
