Customer Review

At some point, my wife went our Internet Radio in the Küch to the spirit, so I had the thing "willy-nilly" accept ;-)).
But again "only" as an Internet radio ?? Honestly, the things really are really boring !! Or should my focus be more on the sound, so a WLAN or bluetoothe speakers. But somehow boring. Besides, I also wanted to have a certain value for the money invested, the 0815 Internet radio you so from 70, - I did not like getting all of the function and formality just simply exchanged without producing selling.
For a WLAN or bluetoothe Speaker, I also did not want to spend so much money, since the advantage of mobility is negligible with us more, because the radio is about 95% in the kitchen anyway.
After a long research, I came across the device and intended for me Cool, then of course I tried more to find out what turned out to be quite difficult. There have been times and a predecessor of Auna is a similar unit sold. But ultimately, I then asked my wife and said, "Just have to order." Said and done ...
Now I have the unit for a few days in use and am so far very pleased.

For Style:
The device looks nice and makes the organic form looks good and works in the processing of very high quality, and it is very solid on the feet.

Display:
A 7 "display, many will know from his little table. It is not a HD display but the view is absolutely OK. Sometimes, but rarely, it does not respond immediately (grade at tiny icons) on the touch. I would say it is rather average, but honestly I've seen tabs in the price range that were truly appalling, because this is yet to settle in the upper average.

Functionality:

Now with the Androidbetriebssystem is with us every household familiar, so the start-up was not a problem. Just with any Google Account, Setting the language, download relevant apps and good ..

Listen to radio, I've downloaded the app from Audials, which works flawlessly. With the Wi-Fi reception there was with us no problems at all (that with the WiFi is of course always depends on the local conditions and does not have a flat rate for each and everything apply).

The Bluetooth connection also works, although I was not quite as happy with the Sony XperiaZ, but we still have two Samsung in circulation which essentially functioned to connect better and more stable. So even here all is well ...

Cool, of course, that we can stream our television signal on the instrument of our receivers, which is really nice (even if we are verwönt because we have been always realized on a 10 "Tab).
Also you can get the app via various media libraries on the device, just great !!

The presentation of moving images / television or video is impeccable, no stuttering, no formation of small blocks, excellent !!

Sound
Now make his expectations here not to elevate who fidelen high sound is expected with fundamental bass orgies disappointed.
But do not worry, the sound is for such a small device absolutely fine, so who wants to provide sound the kitchen or rooms up to 20 square meters will have no difficulty with it, the sound is of course but also some of the stream ie depending on the vendor.
I along with my family, it will find a much more improvement to our old Internet radio.

Here again, in my view, the advantages and disadvantages:

Pro:
Chic
Handy
Mobile
Android (so through the various applications in the flexible options such as TV streaming etc ...)
Surf Internet
HDMI (certainly interesting for some, but whoever Smart TV has it could do without)
Micro-USB (OTG cable at it so you can theoretically connect a flash drive or a hard drive)
Micro-SD

Neutral:
Sound
Battery (outlet should not be too far away)

Cons:
No contra

Anyone who sees the device as a tab to play with etc. (grins) is unlikely to be served here
Those who expect a high fidelen stereo sound make must naturally swabs
Who needs perfect mobility and wants to provide sound beach and garden parties, should be looking for a pure Bluetooth Speaker (but they cost at least as much, if not more, and you have nowhere near the capabilities that this device provides a)

Who but the unit as a "radio" looks with all its possibilities, will be thrilled.

We are excited in any case and hope for a long time so to have fun (if not, I will definitely tell the tale)
