Foreword
---------------
My hobby is to test Bluetooth speaker. I confine myself here to the micro, mini and medium classes. The speakers should be battery operated and portable. All other features are initially added. Primarily it comes to determine whether the speaker delivers what is advertised by the provider me.
Of course, I myself have a preference, like a loudspeaker should sound for me. In my reviews, however, it is not my intention, based on my taste to evaluate a product, but to clarify what is to be expected when the loudspeaker is purchased.

Design and packaging
-------------------------------------------------
The Head Sound Tube is on the threshold of the micro-speakers. The loudspeaker has a cylindrical shape and the housing is largely made of aluminum.
The case is an excellent workmanship, there are no gaps or voids present. Here proves Head sound that these speakers can be seen in the high-end range of gadgets.
Particularly positive the packaging should be emphasized, because in addition to the actual packaging of the Head Sound Tube comes in a travel case, which is very robust.
Also, this is just as properly processed as the speakers themselves. This combination I have not even held in my hands so.
Other manufacturers sell such a high-quality case like as an expensive accessory, which heard but here the standard package.
In terms of design and processing Head Sound already sets the bar very high here. Top!
Handling and function
--------------------------------------------------
So straightforward is the design, so simple it holds Head Sound with its features. So the speaker has only an on / off switch at the bottom of the speaker and
a button which is used to answer and as a Play / Pause button. The volume is controlled exclusively via the setter. Even if the speaker is always operating at maximum gain, so no disturbing noise is present, which is not self-evident. It can also be quietly listen well to the Head Sound Tube.
The Play / Pause button is pressed simply by lightly pressed on the speaker. Could not be simpler.
The Sound
--------------------
The most important thing about a speaker is of course be sound.
An assessment of the sound is the reason already difficult because the feeling is always subjective and everyone has their marked preference. My intention is not different.
At Head Sound Tube I had hardly had expectations due to its minimal size, but it sounds really good for its size.
By that I mean that it sounds very balanced and even in the bass range is down. The mids and highs are good, though the Head Sound Tube at maximum volume
reaches its limits and slightly distorted. But already regulated down to volume level 14 of 15 it sounds clean.
The equalizer can be nothing but improve, here the potential of the speaker has been fully exploited in the development.
For once. ;)
Conclusion
-----------
As mentioned in the title, I can recommend the Head Sound Tube hesitation as business travel speaker for the small luggage. Even with the robust case it fits
in the jackets or pants pocket and used the evening at the hotel has a well-functioning speakerphone always.
By the way can be even more pleasant music with the Head Sound Tube listen as the smartphone itself.
Who also still attaches great importance to design, to be worth investing in the Head Sound Tube in any case.
