- The outer carton
The carton has presented no cubic centimeter of air. That the product is not necessary, because it shines not by size, but as desired by big sound in a small package!
- The protective sheath
From the carton is a hard shell protective case. Beautifully crafted with zipper. This dish is centrally hinged diagonal. No fumbling, no, beautifully until firmly seated, the two speakers in piano finish in the dish. With this dish, they can be wonderful to take anywhere. The piano finish of robust, gentian blue plastic casing looks great. But without a case would probably not long what's left of it. But with the protective sheath solution I leave I liked that.
- Connect and try the speakers
Full of anticipation, the Speaker of the dial back on. Nothing lights up. Batteries seem to be delivered completely empty. Let's see if you can invite speakers to the USB power and run at the same time? Yes! It works out. So same time the parts per enclosed mini jack cable is connected to the headphone output of my mixer. The current for charging is via the enclosed USB cable from the PC.
As the batteries were completely empty and I now gave the same full sound on the blue boxes, there was a crash in the beginning. The amplifier uses well for voltage peaks at high volumes the battery as a buffer. And so it was. After 30sec the lamp began back from red (fatzleer) to shine the purple (almost empty). Each battery is easily juice and can mitpuffern the USB power supply. At full volume the sound is fine now. Then after 2min. Load the USB plug pulled. The boxes running at the same volume continues with the same rich clean sound! The battery works!
- The Sound
Let's see what the kids can at full volume:
10Hz sine. The speakers vibrate clearly visible with a stroke of 2mm 10x per second. Madness. The deep bass are therefore given by the amplifier fully on the membranes. Both speakers vibrate absolutely equal. Although the boxes have weight for their size, but without a soundboard these slow oscillations not felt. Clear that there is no subwoofer feeling can arise. But would you put the boxes into a cavity (nightstand), so it would be wonderful growl.
40Hz sine. Here you can hear the hum then. From this frequency, the sound from the air is transferred. You can hear the 40Hz and nothing else. No rattling or Mitrasseln.
70Hz - 120Hz, now it gets audibly louder. And even louder.
160Hz - 300Hz is here, incredibly for as little boxes, already resonance ago. These frequencies are loud and full. Still no clanking or rattling.
400Hz to 11kHz. It is now highly uniform. Every now and then pierce individual frequencies times with nem half dB forth, but overall, the frequency response is very uniform.
12kHz upwards. Here is the end of terrain. Now beatings and other frequencies mix in, do not belong here. But whatever. There are just expected no Hochtonbändchenqualitäten :-) In German means that hiss or the Hi-Heads are transferred not completely clean the drums.
Left - Right channel: Short turned on the controller: Yes, the loudspeakers are cleanly separated in the channel! Here was neither cheated on the cable nor the internal amplifier. Stereo remains stereo.
Thus, the sound is also technically measured really about. The box has its strength in the higher bass and vocal range. What more do you want. These are precisely the areas that matter. No toxic, high tones screaming here rattling mini boxes, but a round harmonious sound. You have to look twice that here conjure up so small boxes of this sound. Who placed the boxes, with their maximum 65cm distance apart put on the table in front of him, will feel right at home in the stereo field.
- Volume
At Samsung operated mobile phone, and everything turned up to full speed, you have to entertain already loud that you can still be understood. It is the volume, in which most of them would say, "Take a quiet, it's tiring to talk".
It's the volume that is sufficient, as in noise in the car, enjoyable to listen to music.
- Cable
Anyone familiar with the cable of the iPhone, it could be confused. The same white, the same cable thickness, the same feel, the same connector shape.
Conclusion: If you want to lie comfortably on a picnic blanket in nature to look at rich music in the sky and dream, so has the perfect pit. Anyone who thinks so to operate your home cinema is wrong :-)
Update on Dec 2014:
- The battery life is really great. One charge is sufficient for us with daily evening audiobook listening a month. Specifying 10h running time is probably calculated at maximum volume and booming music. For low volume and with audio book speaker of the battery lasts super long.
- The cable to the 3.5 mm jack plug to the headphone jack of the MP3 player has been given a bad contact, which is getting worse. And the daily after only 3 months of use. Therefore two star deduction. I have a new plug rangelötet and behold. The cable is processed very cheap. It is not shielded and the strand diameter are minimal. For the audio transmission, the sufficient, but not for the movements of the cable by the use.
