Packaging ...
Everything was packed clean, except for a few very small plastic bags is recycled everything from z. T. carton.
It is the device itself, the power supply and a Quick Start Guide in the package.
Pairing and use ...
The pairing is very fast of equip, pairing button for about 2 seconds press., The mobile phone / tablet, the Philips BT 5580 Select a few seconds. Wait that's it. Does the mobile NFC it even faster, press Pairing mobile phone to the device keep ready.
The status is indicated by a LED in blue and red.
Thus we come to the only minor drawback in the operation.
There is no indication of the filling status of the battery. He does not appear on the device itself, and not on the phone.
My Bluetooth headset shows the charging eg congestion also not on the device, but the mobile phone is seen as full / empty the battery is. Shame...
The battery can also fallen by 7 hours at Zimmerlautsärke he was not yet empty.
Unfortunately I can not prfüen what was left :(.
Really liked turn after me the quick start and connection.
If a device is paired, and the speaker is turned on, it takes about 4-5 sec. And you can hear music.
There is little on the speakers to use.
The volume controls and all the buttons are large and easy to operate, all connections are easily accessible.
On volume Reger you can adjust the volume level, in addition, we take into account the volume control of the phone (with kir iPhone). Mention may be made not only to select the music on the cellphone, but louder and quieter.
All music apps I've tried iOS music, Deezer and Xbox Music have worked.
Since the cpl. Output audio output through the BT5580 (including keypad tones, etc.) to operate all are on the phone sounds Also on the speakers.
Handsfree: When the phone is connected, you can very well use the speaker as a speakerphone, only too far away should not sit by BT5580 otherwise it will quietly on the other side of the conversation. We put him on our men conference table and telephoned threes which are very good. Dieting, hang up and even Anrufablehnen goes through the short or long press on the large phone button.
Whether music or speakerphone, the fold as Elektronk layman without problems.
Connections:
Blade to all devices to connect without Bluetooth.
USB for example, to load a phone (max 1A)
PSU connector to charge the device
The charging of the mobile phone has me working conditions, which is not located on the device but rather as the iPhone.
That does not come the iPhone 5s clearly with the offered 1A do not even invites.
We the Samsung S4 mini connected to my wife to do it.
Just typical Apple, everything or not).
Sound ...
Must correspond to the size you do not expect too much, but for a small party outdoor, it is sufficient all time.
The bass is surprisingly strong for the size, even though he is naturally not enough in the deepest regions.
All in all, the speaker sounds very good to me personally are likely to be a little more treble.
But of course as always with loudspeakers matter of taste.
Pro:
- Good sound (for the size)
- Quality finish
- Very simple operation
- Fast start and fast connection
- Great battery (which also can load the phone)
- Lightweight and portable
Cons:
- No battery indicator
Conclusion ...
Great little speaker with a tiny weakness.
With Baterieanzeige there would have been 5 stars ...
