APPEARANCE
I bought the blue model. The speaker is not completely in blue. It's just a blue accent to the speaker hole. The surface is black and rubberized. That's a comfortable grip. Keys on top of the housing are one with the shell. By punching of Minus, Plus circle and can distinguish them. This can also be distinguished in the dark times. The housing has a pleasantly robust.
The LED does not light up brightly in blue or red, but is always good to see the current operating status can be seen. Furthermore, there is English speech and acoustic signal sounds to set up and use.
FUNCTION
Operation is simple. The plus and minus buttons are solely responsible for the volume. The Circles button in the center to be used for switching, connecting Bluetooth devices, play / pause, answer and turned off. This is further not very cumbersome. To connect mam holds the key a few (3s) seconds and examined on the device for Bluetooth devices. This was easy and fast. The Play and Pause functionality worked with the default music app, Amazon Music and TuneIn 1a. Loud and soft also worked without problems, it should be mentioned that the buttons control the volume regardless of the volume of the Bluetooth phone. Furthermore, you can also quickly a device via 3.5mm jack cable (not included).
Unfortunately, it does not automatically shutdown when no device is connected. This could be due to the 3.5mm connector. However, I could just do without this.
I have not used and tested the phone function and can not judge it.
SOUND
I do not have sound experience awaits which most audiophile people might expect. It should sound only pleasant to my ears. The music played was a nice balanced sound width. The highs and the bass are good. Then I hear a lot of rock, I find the sound of it quite well. The volume was also very confident. So you can provide sound well a smaller room (25m2 +) good and there should therefore barbecuing with friends have no problems. It should be noted that in the two highest volume levels there were already too strong distortions. So these steps are likely never used with me.
POSITIVE
- Good processing (robust, compact, clean)
- Good balanced sound with extra bass
- Ease of use and setup
NEGATIVE
- Sound distortion at full volume over Bluetooth
- Speech much too loud and can not be disabled - Because the use is so simple, this is very annoying for frequent use. In addition, I use this in a quiet environment and interferes with the other people very ...
Due desetzten point I send the device in a good back and become commercially again examine the equipment in relation to the audible alert tones or speech synthesizers. I'll probably invest a few euros more.
