The base is the only external component, which is made of plastic. The complete silver outer ring and the top speaker grille are made of metal. The speaker just looks noble and I think that this real still looks better than on the product photos in the description. Therefore I have also made additional photos and hang them on the review.
On the underside of a practical padded seat is attached, so that the speakers once installed does not slip. At the bottom of the control buttons for volume / Skip / Play / Stop, and the on / off switch are housed. The speaker distinguishes between normal A (Operation via supplied Auxkabel) and the Bluetooth mode. Coupling went smoothly with my Galaxy S5.
The sound is measured by the size once. With the size I would rather 3 Watt expected instead 5W power. And you realize, until in high volumes the speaker plays without major distortions. The sound is great. Thanks to the 360 ° opening upwards I feel this to be particularly homogeneous. Bass is plentiful, particularly so-called "kick bass" is clearly out audibly. Of course, should not be expected that the voice of Barry White from that speaker to vibrate the glasses. The battery has persevered with the first charge about 6 hours - A good value for this speaker size.
Viewed from the side, there are 2 critical points that have me less like. On the one hand this is a very loud music that sounds when you turn on (A no-go if you want to use the speakers in the bedroom). The other point is that the charging port, a mini USB input (not MICRO!). Since I designed my whole charging peripherals to Micro USB is a bit annoying. Both things together give half a point deduction, but so that the overall result remains at 5 stars.
This speaker has a very good sound and fits optically very well in finely furnished apartments. I would never take him to the beach, but it would suit me to pity - but by the power he would easily be able to provide sound a beach party.
