Great value for money! 17

During one and a half working days I helped in another department. One of the colleagues there that speaker had there and because it alongside a Hörbüch has run, I sort of had a rather long test run, in which I though only in passing, but at least for a long time a sense of the acoustic quality of the loudspeaker in the light won by work noise. Without much of the acoustic quality to anticipate: I was quite impressed with what can provide this little thing for a sound! Next impressed me that the thing medium volume for more than 9 hours has held, although he had had it's own opinion already two to three hours in operation. When I heard about the price of this speaker, who is looking incredibly cheap, it was clear to me that I'm going to buy a Bluetooth speaker. Of course I've heard for alternatives. However, very few of them have had such a good reputation, as the latter.

Here, this speaker has a so strange name, like his company. Just the idea is really absurd: A speaker named Beach Groove from a company called bestbeans. Exciting it is when you visit the website of the company. Indeed, it is a tiny startup companies with at least initially very little capital, with which they still manage to develop to speakers the third generation.

The "Beach Groove" is the second generation and a marvel. A battery, which also includes the company bestbeans a term of 12 hours to certify a combination of two 40 mm drivers and a passive radiator on the back, the strikingly strength radiates from the lower frequencies.

An outstanding sound you would not expect in such a small speaker, is the result. I want the Speaker naturally no certify acoustic miracles. That would be absurd! Nevertheless, you get more than in most other speakers of the same size here. Another colleague has this speaker even certify a better sound, than about the Bose SoundLink Mini in his possession, but what surprised at the price of a SoundLink Mini. I have had the Beach Groove already in the car in action. Even at high speeds on the highway with an appropriate noise level, it brings enough sound pressure to naturally give music and the announcements of my navigation app easily again. Here, the sound remains pleasant and overridden only with very loud music a little. These must be said that the Beach Groove still felt even after a drive of 4 1/2 hours at high levels one-third of the term had on the battery. A respectable performance.

The speaker One may incidentally certify that the Bluetooth playback from an iPhone / iPad / iPod Touch playback directly from the SD card basically is second to none, especially the reception radius amazingly ist.Ich can my iPhone down lying on the sofa have a Additionally still reflect floor without interruption. Crow are the estimated 7 meters, but there are three walls in between, the shield relatively strong. Complimentary wireless signal I get only partially transferred there. In the first test with the device of said colleagues I can see distances of 10-11 meters in a straight line.

The meachanische quality is very good and the protection against dust, bumps and splashes do the rest to deliver a terrific package. The rubber which dreckt the top off, has a very good feel The color of the plastic probably also conceals minor scratches quite well and the big rubber ring, which provides the base of the speaker, guarantees a secure footing. In addition, the cover of radiator and speakers which is also in firmer grip does not bend too fast.

So is everything about this speaker good? No. Since there are hardly any controls and certainly not a display, it is possible to jump forward or back by title. This is a problem when playing via Micro SD card. Even though they may be noisy bestbeans maximum 16GB large, alone already Währe a lot of music and a correspondingly large amount Geblätter. For me, however, is not a problem because I play exclusively via Bluetooth music. But when said Bluetooth playback with an iOS device as a source you can hear some noise when the speaker is powered by a very low volume. But from room volume is no longer heard this noise, said noise therefore stirred in my opinion, so I have to note that the insulation against radio influences has not been solved completely ideal. Is that a big problem? No. But it is all the more when I'm clear that in addition to this problem is hardly a second that bothers me.

Conclusion:
What can I say? Great sound for the size, very good meachanische quality, surprisingly good Bluetooth receiver, dust, shock and splash protection and a very good battery life are merely opposed a very quiet background noise. Five stars are justified!
