Design Technically everything is right. Even the packaging has a very great design. When you open you get the same very well-made speaker to face. In two small containers are still a chic microUSB cable with sufficient length and different power supplies. Regardless of the color of the speaker the accessory is neon yellow.
Immediately after unpacking, you can then get started already. The box is fully charged and ready to connect via Bluetooth. Alternatively, you can connect any non-Bluetooth enabled device via 3.5mm jack cable.
By pressing the Bluetooth button, the box already appear in the Bluetooth settings of the player. It supports all devices that can establish a Bluetooth connection. iPhones, iPads, Android phones and even computers. Up to eight devices can be connected to the speaker at the same time. The playback volume can be controlled with the two large buttons on the housing.
If the box is connected to an iOS device, you control the volume with the buttons of the iOS device. If the box but connected to a MacBook, so you control with the buttons only the volume of the box. On MacBook the volume changes not.
That's not bad, because the box noted the volume of each device. If you play, for example music on MacBook from and the volume of the box is at 100%, then the volume will change again, if you continue playing on another device.
Those who do not only want to go into its Bluetooth settings to connect, which can be quickly and easily connect via NFC.
At the processing can not be faulted. Everything is as it should be. At the locations where no material is used, ie at the top and bottom and at the point where there are the volume keys, the housing is rubberized.
The box I have now been 3 months in use. Once washed and it looks like new. The rubber coating is highly resistant and so can keep up with.
With approximately 500 grams of the box is not just as hard as a 0.5 liter bottle, but also just as big. It fits so easily into various bottle holders.
On the top is in addition to the Bluetooth button nor the ON / OFF switch. On the bottom there are a few more things.
Right in the middle is a tripod socket. So you can simply unscrew the box on a camera tripod and it plays the music at eye level. By default, a detachable hook attached thereto so that you can hang the box. Furthermore are still a 3.5 mm jack and a micro USB port for charging on the bottom. Incidental updates can play via a USB cable, when the box is connected to the PC.
If you like, the box into wet grass even need to have no fear. The connections are protected with a rubber cover.
By cans shape the sound quality is perfect - no matter where the box is. Even if the box is sometimes a bit further away, the sound is very clean and loud enough. Even at maximum volume the sound is still stable. Something like that is very rare.
The bass is not too strong, but still dominant. The sound is therefore very spatially. For the necessary fine-tuning an equalizer, which can be reached via app provides.
After 10 hours of music at maximum volume, I have given up. The battery was charged nor to 40%. On iOS, you can see the battery status in the status bar, or in the app. With a simultaneous pressing both volume buttons on the box you get hip to battery level.
According to the manufacturer, the box holds 15 hours. The value is quite realistic. Burdened is the box in 3 hours.
Finally, two other cool features:
The box can be coupled with another. Then the sound is unbeatable. Especially when setting true stereo. As a Bose SoundLink Mini does not come to it.
And the last function that I not use is the speakerphone. Even a microphone is installed in the speaker.
I am totally satisfied with the box and would buy again. The manufacturer means update after also very cool features. Here support is very important. From me there is a strong buy recommendation!
