After some looking, but it soon became clear: This is similar in almost all providers. It seems that the monopoly for Bluetooth speaker located on the Asian continent.
Since this is a fairly inexpensive product and I do not time so hurry (shipping time over several weeks) I have seen the product then ordered yet.
After the specified delivery time, the product is not arrived with me and I felt confirmed in my equal negative attitude. Thanks to Amazon, but no problem, you do NEN warranty case it ... At first contacted the seller - I did not expect a reply.
However, came fairly quickly, although in slightly broken, but understandable German. They apologized, could find that the goods have been dispatched from the dispatch center, but a service you could not tell. It was immediately followed by the offer, the purchase price incl. Shipping costs to refund.
But as I so wanted to have a speaker and the like might happen with other providers who do not play the same in a much more expensive price league, I thanked him for the offer but asked for a replacement, because I wanted to have the speaker anyway.
No problem, the speaker was placed directly on the shipping route and should arrive in the next few weeks with me ...
I wondered if that would work ... To be honest, I was skeptical.
BUT:
The speaker was then but after a few weeks with me at. After unpacking you first able to perceive a distinct rubber smell, but I did not expect otherwise. After a short time he was also gone. The pairing worked (not misunderstand, each 1 unit can be simultaneously connected to this speaker) with multiple devices at once. The volume is similar to the better known "howler cubes" enormous and without sound distortion. HiFi-experts will find something to complain for sure, but that would probably not use such a small outdoor suitable Bluetooth speaker ...
The buttons are easy to operate and function well. The hands-free mode was tested shortly and is very good for the price range. There are certainly better hands-free devices, but not for this price!
On the bottom is actually an LED that indicates a charge, but it is not visible at least with the black Silkonhülle. This could have been a different resolve, therefore 1 star deduction.
The range depends on the environment within the building I can remove myself partly no 5 meters far from the source, without the breaks off the audio transmission. (Lightweight walls with glass wool stuffing in stone walls it is wahrscheinlch be better ...) Outside the range, however, is significantly higher.
The suction cup holds well on flat surfaces, whether tabletop, door, tile ...
Also a short, suitable USB cable is included for charging. Since you can not see the charging LED without removing the silicone (which is somewhat friemelig and also as difficult raise again is - I have the silicone slightly torn at my attempt at the opening to the on / off switch and USB port ), I can not say much about the exact charging time. Chill it goes quite quickly, after a few minutes load has at least one for a significantly longer time again enough power for the audio transmission.
All in all I think it is a good product. However, since minor improvements could be made, by me only 4 stars.
Value for money is here in a very good relationship, which can overlook also the long delivery time.
If required, I would access again!
