First, had the supplied battery pack, which can be easily fitted on the back by opening the battery compartment cover, be loaded. The charging was carried out by micro-USB cable to the connector on the rear panel. When charging, the red LED lights on the back. If the speaker is fully charged, the red light turns off.
If the Akkuladstand low, the speaker emits a rhythmic beep and turns off after about five minutes.
The speaker makes his dark rubberized surface a pleasant tactile impression. Weighing in at 236 grams, it is very easy, so well suited for outdoor use. He stands on small rubber pads that ensure a firm footing. On the back there is a on and off switch, a micro-USB port and an auxiliary port, see (3.5 mm jack).
With dimensions of 170 x 42 x 50 mm (length, width, height) it is easy to transport.
The Bluetooth pairing with iPhone 6 ran straightforward and succeeded immediately. The coupling is confirmed with a beep. Then the rear LED lights subtly blue, so they do not interfere in the operation.
Once paired, the speaker next time automatically connects to the iPhone.
On the top panel there are three control buttons:
- A multi-function button for the start and pause playback, the answer and end a call, to reject a call (when held down) as well as a redial (when double)
- A plus button for volume up and you jump forward to the next track and
- A minus button for volume reduction and a jump back to the previous track.
The AUX port on the back additional devices can be connected via the supplied plug. The speaker will detect your source automatically and plays it off immediately. This also applies to the Micro USB port in addition to the charging function pair with a PC or notebook permits.
The sound quality is good and surprising in view of the small speaker weight. The volume convinced so that the speaker can also be used well at parties.
The wide range of over 10 meters I can confirm the music enjoyment remains constant with no dropouts.
Through the built-in microphone can be used as a hands-free Bluetooth speaker.
Highlight is the integrated NFC chip to make it possible to connect NFC-enabled devices without Bluetooth. Unfortunately, I was with my iPhone not test this feature.
Overall, a highly recommended device that is well suited for mobile use.
