The Polaris V8 is a powerful Bluetooth speaker, and much more. It is beautifully packaged in a flip-top box with cool graphics. It comes with a USB charging cable / mini and high quality 3.5mm jack cable for use with Bluetooth devices. There is also a written manual.
The president himself is chunky and is covered in a rubber rim. The six control buttons, which are in relief and be proud of, are on the top surface. On the first line there is a low volume, mode and volume buttons. The second line in reverse, play / pause and forward buttons. The play / pause button doubles as the power switch on / off. Front of the tractor behind the metal grid there is an LED display. At the rear of the speaker you will find the AUX jack, Micro SD card slot and mini-USB charging port. Below these there is a door behind which there is a removable 18650 lithium ion. He seems very well done.

He also has an FM radio and Micro SD card reader. It can also be used as a plug-and-play USB president and can be used in hard disk mode that allows read and write directly onto the SD card. The Bluetooth NFC pairing capabilities. In selection mode, there is voice guidance. The president has many functions:

Bluetooth
when first turned on, the president goes directly to Bluetooth mode, which is confirmed by a voice message "Bluetooth". After activating the Bluetooth function on your terminal coupling is confirmed by voice saying "coupled device". The screen displays elapsed time of the music track being played. You can use the forward / reverse and play / pause the game control buttons or changes in your device. When changing the volume, the display shows the current volume level and then returns at play. Range is 10 meters before signal interruption.

Memory card
The speaker mode supports music listening to music from a micro SD card up to 32GB. Track selection is done using the reverse, play / pause and forward gear buttons. Quick search is available by pressing the forward or reverse, then pressing and holding. The display scrolls through the channel numbers. Releasing playing the track shown in the display.

FM Mode
The integrated FM tuner is very simple to use. Select FM mode with the M button and hold the fast forward button and it automatically begins scanning. Stations can then be accessed by pressing the forward or reverse.

PC and HDD modes
after connecting the USB cable to the PC mode is available by pressing the mode button. On my Windows 7 laptop automatically downloaded and installed drivers. The music can then be played directly via the USB connection. Switching off while the cable is still connected the hard drive active mode. Files can now be read / written directly from the desktop.

Auxiliary mode
When this option is selected via the M button the display shows "Online". Now you can attach a non-Bluetooth device and enjoy a powerful sound.

In use, I
found all worked brilliantly modes. Via FM reception was good even though I live in a poor signal area. The game mode memory was easy to use, I played the entire contents of an 8GB card during testing. The well worked HDD and PC modes after the drivers have been installed. Bluetooth pairing with my smartphone and Avantree Saturn transmitter was simple and quick, and range was good as mentioned above. Auxiliary mode was also excellent with the supplied cable.

I burned-in speaker for more than 24 hours prior to critical listening. Its improved more than she plays. I found the best sound quality was achieved thanks to the AUX mode. Fed a high quality CD player and digital radio signal, the sound was excellent, with lots of treble bite, medium natural and open sound range. In all modes it was easy to distinguish the flows, the best sound quality tracks are obvious. Dynamic range was also very good.

I felt the need to reinforce the bass a bit to get the best from the speaker, and it seemed deeper when listening from a few feet away, low frequencies with a wavelength more long. If you listen close up, plus enhanced bass boost sound. When listening to music via Bluetooth, I got a great sound using the Denon Audio app on my smartphone, the adaptation of the frequency response with the graphic equalizer and bass boost.

The sound varies depending on the surface the speaker is placed on, as with other speakers offering a facing down radiator subwoofer, and so it is worth finding the best place on the Speaker Site .

Overall this is an excellent product. Audio performance is very good and the wide range of functions makes a superb price / quality ratio.
