PROCESSING:
The processing of the speaker acts consistently very valuable.
It was most of metal materials used, which can be seen at the front and back mesh and the large gray volume knob at the top.
Between the front and back is then but a 2.5 cm wide plastic frame, the image quality, however, the moderates in no way due to its robustness.
Even when greater pressure with the hand one notices no deformation at the upper side of the frame.
1 long side is covered with rubber, on the one hand to close the screw plugs to give the speaker the opportunity to set up the long side a secure fit to admit the other hand also to provide the water spray strength.
Also on the bottom is a rubber closure is to ensure selbiges, behind this then is also the 3.5 mm jack for plugging in an MP3 player and a micro-USB port for charging the speaker.

DESIGN:
The black and gray design of the speaker this looks very timeless at the table a real eye-catcher, is through the loop hanging on the top, also the possibility to hang the speakers and to let him be almost unnoticeable.
Style:
5 of 5 stars
CONNECTION:
Basically, the speaker has in addition to the 3.5 mm jack is also the possibility of wireless music playback via NFC and Bluetooth.
Since I do not have NFC device, was just point 2 very interesting for me.
I own 3 Bluetooth devices (iPhone 1 6, 1 laptop and 1 PC) and the connection worked flawlessly with all 3 devices.
On devices with newer Bluetooth technology even the battery charge state is mitangezeigt:

SOUND QUALITY:
So, now we come at last to the sound quality.
As the 1st time I've turned in my apartment the speaker, I thought to myself: WOW, what a balanced sound clear highs and strong bass spatially.
However, a fall in the test at different places falling one then but that the bass might still be little bit more dominant.
The 360 ° sound do not precisely because you already noticed at 1 meter some distortion in the sound, if you directly has the frame in front of him.
However, this is please do not misunderstand:
The price performance of the speaker is definitely true of the other speakers in this price range can not keep up with this sound quality by far.
Sound quality:
4 of 5 stars
VOLUME:
Even with the volume of the speaker there is not really much to complain about when using either indoors or in a radius of about 4-5 meters in the outer space can use the speakers without any problems and also in the higher volume range distorted anything.
Only the Bass moves by increasing volume further into the background.
1 other little thing is my fussy fingers would nonetheless have noticed:
Due to the digital signal processing of the speaker, a minimally delayed feedback with fast volume change should be noted.
However, this is really so low that it barely noticed and does not seem really disturbing.
So on the whole, but a very useful volume.

Telephoning FUNCTION:
Basically, is located in the speaker a microphone in order to call in speaker mode.
This proved to the test but unfortunately is not very satisfactory at a distance of about 0.5 meters is only more difficult to understand, this is understood a person on the other line just yet.
Only when you hold the speaker in his hand about 20cm in front of his mouth, it is clearly understood by his interlocutor while you can, however, already take his phone in his hand.
Unlike the representation of the other party's voice:
This sounds loud and clear on the speaker.
Telephoning function:
2 of 5 stars
SPLASH GUARD:
Since the speakers also IPX4 certified is (protection against splashing water), this was also tested.
And the test was passed properly:
Despite the water was continued to play merrily and also the drying afterwards went smoothly.
Furthermore, by the mesh grid was also cleaned at the same front and rear, thereby washed away a complaint point of design in water.
IMPORTANT: IPX4 splash protection really means only and not that you can throw the speaker into the water.
Also (eg rain) is before the use in water spray ensure that the rubber cover on the bottom is tightly closed.
Splash protection:
5 of 5 stars
BATTERY:
According to manufacturer's instructions, a battery operating time indicated by 8 hours.
With a fully charged battery and playback via Bluetooth at full volume this information could not be completely confirmed.
For my test I came up with the above configuration to about 5 hours of my opinion, not a bad result, since the manufacturer's instructions refer determined on mediocre volume.
In my opinion, definitely a realistic value.
