Visually the Bolse speaker is simply to look pretty. He is super processed and colored titanium surface finish looks very high. The speaker fits in your hand and has at the bottom an anti-slip coating.
It is switched on the device on the bottom. The buttons for playback are located there. It may not always be practical to turn the unit for the operation. However, you need the keys anyway only if one does not carry out the control over the smartphone. Anyone who thinks it would be the volume keys are missing, which should look carefully. The forward and back button is in fact occupied twice. Pressing it briefly to jump between tracks. If you hold it longer, you change the volume. Simple, but it works. You get used to it quickly. On the front there is another key. This is pressed to receive calls or to activate the redial.
From the sound quality was me did not convince all of this Bluetooth speaker. Music sounds a bit unnatural, I would describe the music as dark. I have other small Bluetooth speakers that are as much better. It also lacks something that feeling from Bass. Because in a Bluetooth speaker the sound is the most important thing, I prefer from a star here.
At runtime, I also wanted to tell you something. If the small speakers fully charged, it actually plays music for many hours. While I work and hear relatively quiet music, the battery lasts an entire working day. If we sit comfortably together in the garden and make the music a little louder, the performance is sufficient after all loose nor for about 6 hours. That is impressive and is absolutely fine. Who is staying somewhere without electricity, can also extend the runtime with an external battery bank for many hours.
Conclusion: The Bolse Bluetooth Speaker is very visually appealing and makes a great impression. Unfortunately, the sound is just mediocre. The battery capacity can be proud of. 4 stars throughout.
