Great speakers, although very expensive, but it's worth!

I bought the Fugoo directly after the launch in Germany on 10.21.2014. Now, after 2.5 months, the excitement about the Fugoo remains unabated. I had previously purchased an anchor Bluetoothbox for 35 euros and was already surprised what a value for money you can get there for the money and was therefore looking for the broadest end of the story, because I'm more Audiophile yet.

- Who is looking for a one indeed very poor bass, but sound decent and affordable box is in good hands with the anchor cubes -

Now to the details of Fugoo:

Installation Instructions:
I describe here especially my listening impressions since the ruggedness and the clean processing has already been adequately described, I can only be confirmed, however. I used the Fugoo been exclusively in the house. Because of the resonance I always try to place the Fugoo on wood (edge ​​of the bed, on a shelf, a table, the laminate, the kitchen worktop, etc.), as the sound radiating surface thus greatly enlarged (the wood is used as a sound like a guitar) and the listening experience is much better described by imperceptible. Apart House is the difficult, unless you want to take a small thin wooden board. Then tuts also another lower surface which is planar, because the sound radiation of Fugoo down is not to be neglected, also on the laptop on the Mouepad or on top of the resonance of Fugoo is clearly audible. Also hurts a good wall 10-15 cm behind it, since this throws back / reflects the sound. A corner is what the surround sound perfectly natural terms, but in practice rarely except in the Künche.

The Sound:
The sound is very clear and unadulterated by mE. The highs and the mids emerge very clear and are clearly audible and well tell apart from the basses. Here is just not a "pabulum" served as I him, for example, very clearly - have detected among the much-praised "UE Boom" - in a short test of a good ten minutes by various pieces of music through all genres through which I alluded at certain sequences. This struck me as almost unpleasantly bassy. Not - so does the Fugoo - in this demarcation. The bass are very much there, but not intrusive. The most noticeable is the bass, which is also very pleasant presence and not just boomy.

You can tell the difference between a noticeably a way speaker and the three-way Fugoo because actually ever play the high, middle and bass for themselves and therefore extremely one - produce clear sound, which for such a small box - each for themselves as I [the only at the price of 167 euros in the Amazon launch reached (and a friend of ours Päärchen during regular game nights at his head and were so excited after a few nights that they are also equal to one then for 200 Euros ordered and the sister of the first acquaintance, as it reacted and then a Christmas got]) find very impressive is. It is expected in the clear, clean ups and the separate the distinct bass rather a much larger box.

The only criticism is still by many that the volume is not sufficient. We do not feel that way. The Fugoo is naturally not able to provide sound a Greater disco, but this would be expected given the size also measured. Important is also the source of most of my smart phone or a laptop to put on almost maximum volume (Max.95, not 100%, since then, the source usually distorts sound strengthens and the maximum out obsolete and croaking acts) and then with the Fugoo weiterzuverstärken. This allows you a large room 20-25qm already good and loud sound for when the pad is correct (usually the desk / kitchen worktop / dining table). In the kanpp 18sqm large kitchen a conversation is in any case almost impossible at full volume. But the Fugoo has its limitations, which should be safely found quite quickly in an outdoor disco, since the radiating out in all directions is indefinitely far and will not be reflected by the walls of the apartment. But still he is in any case for a leisurely afternoon at the lake certainly more than sufficient - even if you wanted to hear loud music there, what was going to the detriment of the other bathers.
It is ultimately on the intended purpose. For a birthday party with a small dance floor in up to 30 square meters I'd say the Fugoo is still adequate. If you want to organize against a pure disco, the room should not be much larger than estimated 20-22qm if you want to hear really loud. He is responsible for a game night or movie night on the computer (if you can do without a cinema sound 5.1 / 7.1 or or must) optimally, if you do not want to build großraumanlange etc.. With a Bluetooth speaker it is also relevant to mobility and because of Fugoo offers a great compromise.

If we had had earlier in the our student apartment, which would have made things easier Fugoo. Especially for students or people who just do not want Basswummen - where the rest of the music goes down - and where the quality of playback - Bluetooth despite what just no guarantee of Hifi - is the Fugoo anyway Optimal. Who Really puts 80% value on the bass will not be happy in any case with the Fugoo.

HELPFUL !!
Who a really good and very detailed test - also for outside - want to read, which should enter in Google "Oluv" and "Fugoo". The author tests probably hobby Bluetooth boxing and going this extremely thorough and detailed before. I think a very stripped-down version of the test was processed by "Oluv" Amazon also in a Fugoo-review.

The battery lasts definitely what it promises. The battery level can be announced by pressing a button and is in several stages (full, almost full, three quarters, half, quarter and low or empty), whereby there is the state from helping more frequently should consider, as it then is much faster.

UPDATE accessories [mid April 2015]:
My accessories odyssey I (for now only the Stap-loop holder for posts, poles, etc.) described with the description of the accessories in detail and the accessories of course. If the Accessory bundle be available again in this life, then I will review this also.

The assessment of Fugoo itself remains unchanged, still thrilled mitlerweile bought also Oluv's Fugoo with Tough case. Simply only recommendable.

Update [End April 2015]
In Fugoo Things are happening! The above request went to Fugoo.com and still remained unanswered (now silted sure!). I came by chance to the new division at Fugoo.com. Now there is in Germany a trading partner to whom you can turn to. This is very nice and cooperative. It has for the previous sequence (representing Fugoo.com) apologized and outlined my background Founds. Fugoo probably - as still under construction - a manageable workforce. This probably work a lot and hard, but such correspondence delivery difficulties are there can not be excluded. In addition, there is now for the German-speaking Vertreteung in Germany. Even the Fugoo XL project will probably be very expensive. Only that the "Remote" is not yet available has the background - which I personally find quite astonishing !! - That you do not even 100% is satisfied with the production and that the "Amis" there were "tough". If not everything is perfect, then it will not be sold so. You can see that processing of the goods and deserves respect because it shows appreciation towards the customer and the profit that would be realized in respect of orders that seem to be really secondary here well !!

It was promised to inquire further because of accessory bundles me. And the reaction followed promptly. The bundle is to get now on trade partners.

- The Service scolding is maintained for the past and kept for the future as very positive memories. About the Accessory bundle I will report !!
