Unpacking goes quickly out of hand. The accessory is very convenient, because in addition to
- Chic bag for safe keeping the speaker, also be
- A mini USB charging cable
- A 3.5mm stereo cable clinker
- And a user guide (in English only)
included.
The Speaker can be operated with all Bluetooth enabled devices or even with jack. We have the device with an ordinary laptop (Bluetooth), a smart phone (Bluetooth) and a tablet (Bluetooth) tested. In addition, we have used a SanDisk Ultra 16GB microSDHC Class 10 memory card containing music files.
Visually, the device a good impression. The finish is perfect, it works stably and by its elongated simple design timeless elegance. The Speaker is about 28 cm long, 4 cm wide and 6.5 cm high. It is slightly arched forward. Can be found at the bottom of the front at the corners each have a rubber foot and centrally behind a wide rubber band. The stand is stable and sturdy through this form and the rubber elements.
With its sleek design, you can stand the device virtually anywhere, even in a bookcase, without notice to or uncertain is.
After some starting problems we could activate the Bluetooth on the Speaker. We had been connected to a USB device for charging and a connection via Bluetooth was only possible after the USB connection has been disconnected. But this seems to have been a one-time problem (during commissioning), because afterwards worked reconnection via Bluetooth without any problems, despite simultaneous USB connection.
The SanDisk Ultra Class microSDHC memory card is instantly recognized without problems and started the music immediately.
The Speaker has a usable sound, no matter on which input (jack, Bluetooth, MicroSD) arrives the music with the device. Even at a very high volume, it does not begin to rattle or to somehow sound muddy. When carrying around the device during operation and playback remains constant and clear.
Unfortunately, the controls on the device are kept very clear. It only has an on / off switch, which allows you to activate the Bluetooth or play / pause and a forward / reverse button to coincide also regulates the volume. You do not get shown what track is being played. Also a shuffle function does not exist.
The range of the device is about 8-10 m depending on the room and charging status. The battery lasts depending on the degree of utilization (volume, distance to the input source) about 12-15 hours. After about 3 hours the battery is fully recharged. The device has not Sleep function. If you switch it to use not out, it runs until the end of the battery further.
The manual is provided in English only. Since the device is, however, almost intuitive to use, it only requires some brief assistance of the manual. Hence it is the guide to the best that it is kept very short, concise and clear, so that one with little knowledge of English, it can even understand.
Conclusion:
The recommended retail price of 59.99 EUR I find the device too high, but the current quotation of 29.99 EUR reflects good value for money resist. For this price, I can only recommend the device.
