The packaging (like all Denon - products) is very classy, but now not really flows here in the assessment, because that does not interest me personally the bottom line. Nice that accompanies a Aufbewahrungsbeutelchen. Made of blue, smtähnlichem fabric. Because I would have perhaps wanted something that Böxchen perhaps somewhat protects against damage and humidity. But even that does not flow into my review.
After unpacking you have a robust "piece" in his hand, which conveys quality at the first handle. Bluetooth pairing went very unspectacular. I particularly like that you can simultaneously connect two devices. So can sometimes make someone else music.
To the sound other users have already expressed in detail here. Denon somehow manages a clean sound that is too shallow neither bassy, even to conjure up out of the wand. But sound is a very subjective matter ud everyone must decide for themselves, or adapt any. I liked the sound "out of the box" very much. And this over the entire volume range. Whether in bed a movie at a moderate level, in Bad times "freak out", on the terrace with friends ... I am 100% satisfied. Frankly, I was showing the little box not wait for I have the big brother (Denon Cocoon), whose sound also inspires me in every aspect. Denon did the trick with the sound tuning in my view almost perfectly under control.
We still have a Bose SoundLink that had been first choice. Moderate volume can the small Denon of course not keep up at the top. But the sound is way better, more balanced and not so baslastig as in the Bose. That you always have to carry around a special power supply in the Bose, has always annoyed because the passage of time, the battery life has decreased dramatically. The Deneon can be charged with any USB power supply. Move necessary even just hang a battery (Power Bank) and on it goes. Yes, you can load in parallel and listening to music (I do almost every day on the notebook). The Denon fits handily into any pocket, is water resistant and has no energy problem.
The only criticism, the others have mentioned, is also true with me: the specified battery life I could never reach. But one could now deduct a star and I've thought about it. But considering the fact that I. With the real min 7 - 8 Stunden still far lie about competitors' products, the perspective for me again. 4.5 stars would be appropriate, in my view. Only four stars are the remaining power does not do justice. Therefore, full marks.
Absolutely strong buy recommendation !!! I personally have nothing better heard in the class ... and also little in higher price ranges. Give the stocking stuffers never and hope he makes a long time. Once again, kudos to Denon and thank you for the Envaya mini!
PS: Delivery as usual top notch by Amazon. It has already so used to it that you forget to mention it;)
