Impeccable: impressive sound and a nice design.

I was lucky to have this Bluetooth speaker this Christmas. I had a long look journals, tests, French opinion as well that besides handle. And in the same category, I hesitated at length with the bose, and Logitech. And all indicators, in terms of quality / price ratio, tended towards the Jabra Solemate.

Here are more:

- The sound and size: once unwrapped the device, it is surprising her "small" size. And immediately we begin to fear the sound quality. However, once connected, fear is replaced by astonishment. The sound is superb. Light and powerful, and can climb relatively strong. We can not believe that such a fate of a small device (Namely, the sound comes out of the 2 sides, so can stand in the middle of a table and enjoy the music while eating, for example) .

- Connectivity: Just check the bluetooth option of a smartphone, tablet, PC, game console or any other device with bluetooth (camera, car ... etc), and maintain three seconds a small button on the Solemate side. And the unit immediately warns with a male voice (in English) that the device is connected. It's easy and almost immediate. The device prevents itself from a male voice if the unit needs to be recharged. For it has 10 hours of battery life. Impressive.
In addition, the Bluetooth connectivity spreads from a distance of 15 meters.

- Aesthetics: We like or not like it. But personally, I like especially white. Namely that "sole" in English means "sole" and "mate" means "boyfriend". The aesthetic idea of ​​the machine's base is inspired by a shoe sole (ensuring adhesion and stressing the transportable side "all terrain"). The rest of the unit is quite appropriate to place a design. It does not "work". It remains thin and discreet.

- General use: I use it mainly with my tablet. I downloaded a radio app, I launch my favorite radio (no ads!) And I walk around the house with Solemate. I can also start my playlist mp3, watch a movie, launch youtube ... in short, every sound you made my tablet can be transposed on the Solemate. It can also be used as handsfree kit if the Solemate is connected to a Bluetooth phone or smartphone.

- The device is also equipped with a waterproof bag, allowing you to take to the beach or humid or just protect it from dust.

Cons:

- Sound: do expect to make an evening in a large room full of people with the camera. This is not a forum for stereo. It is rather an extra enclosure to music a little more than "ambient" because by increasing the volume, but the sound remains powerful. Attention to low however which are (for my taste) not present enough (but still very acceptable) and begin to grisailler when sound is maximum.

- Aesthetics: Once again, one likes or dislikes. The bose remains all times sober. I know there is also the Jambox is very beautiful. Then it's a matter of taste.

Verdict: My whole family was impressed with the sound quality, size and appearance of this unit. In its rate band (vs logitech bombox or jambox), it is by far the winner (with the advice of the pros).

Be careful not to confuse this chamber with a stereo speaker that aims to fill the evening. It remains an excellent personal portable speaker. Go there with closed eyes.
