Thank Rapoo may still be a concept, what will change for sure in the near future, since the products of the hardware vendor can be found in all major electronics retailers. A new manufacturer it has always been difficult, because many, especially in the multimedia segment, being labeled as cheap manufacturers, which sometimes apply. Is quite different from but with the products of Rapoo who usually look not only good, but also with a fine choice of materials therefore come and be attractively packaged. The solid average processing completes the overall impression from managed and also the sound, there is nothing to complain about, right?
6-6-6: The little devil in the details
With dimensions B = 63 x H = 67 x D = 60mm falls the A300 from relatively small, making the title mini speaker honor. The solid weight of 248gramm is during transport to the destination bit disturbing and raises the small cubes not so fast. The very pretty package in the form of a hardcase can to remain safely at home and you can rely on the somewhat small and very tight-fitting carrying bag that included in the delivery. Very exemplary addition to a USB cable, which is used to recharge the A300, also an AUX cable with 2 x 3.5mm jack plugs is so that devices can be connected directly from the factory via AUX. This cable is often missing from other producers and must be purchased separately. For a USB-plug adapter is not with us.
The choice of material also not be disappointed here, guests staying at a rounded aluminum body in silver, as well as high-quality plastic, which performs inside from cover to cover. Depending on personal taste you can rot from the colors, white, green, orange and blue dial. The underside of the cube is provided with a fairly soft rubber coating and provides, in addition to securing the subsoil, even for a firm footing. Serves for the A300 directly from small touchpad, which can be found above. Here you have the possibility to adjust the volume, pause the playing music titles and to continue again, and to accept an incoming call. The Sting The smartphone must remain in your pocket, because the body houses a small microphone, so that telephone calls can also be held completely on cubes. When executing commands, the touchpad could react even faster, however, like to. On the back you will find the front ports for USB and AUX and the on-off switch is housed here. A small NFC icon provides information about that pairing via NFC will also be initiated on the back.
Give me three, baby! The sound of the howler cube
Of course, should be previously said that you would expect from such a compact enclosure no true miracle. Someone who makes high demands on the sound quality and also has a loose wallet, it is with such a mini-speakers generally have a hard time and since the A300 is no exception. From another point of view considered, pressed and vibrated the little 3 watt speakers despite its size quite well behind the grille and scores with a still very respectable sound. Especially in the bass range, diaphragm sets over backward and supplies in the middle of a good sound. Only the heights suffering noticeably under the bass-heavy orientation and have to admit defeat. For a better sound you can lie down the cube gently so the grid shows up, however, the slider protrudes slightly out of the housing on and off, leaving the speaker unfortunately are not quite level. The volume of the cube can be found on the smartphone and the cube itself to 100%, without this leading to anomalies in the sound. But the A300 is at the highest level compared to other mini-speaker systems (z. B. JAY-Tech Mini Bass Cube SA101) comparatively much quieter therefore. Depending on the musical performance of the little devil holding of around 12 hours before he screams after a charge and, in fact, my test model did not go well after a long barbecue run out of steam.

Conclusion
So I know exactly which is taken of small and compact A300 with a grill evening or a trip to the lake definitely. At a price of around 50 euros you get a small sound cube with solid workmanship, chic design and quite passable sound. For quite safe transport terms scratches, is made thanks to the included bag and the long battery life leaves a socket hardly miss. However, if your smartphone times out of breath, you can do without Bluetooth and instead set up a connection via AUX cable. Anyone looking for a small, smart and relatively inexpensive outdoor partner, should look at the small A300 quiet accurate.
