At 13:10. it was finally over, I was allowed to take my Fugoo in reception. However, the anticipation was very quick sobering:
Be the words of "Kindle-customer" quite chosen quite unorthodox, I must confess to my shame that I like went to the first pre-listening through your head. But first things first:
The Fugoo, pretty, small light would have fitted in accordance with the reports on Amazon.com, as well as of Oluv exactly in my Beuteschema.
Bass, clear highs, balanced sound image, from low volumes is all sounded very good.
But think.
The heights are extremely sharp and nervous (depending on environment) at some point, or even earlier, just basses for me in reasonably sufficient extent available, the centers are in place but not to the extent that I would describe the sound as homogeneous.
A really good and balanced sound I have achieved with the Fugoo only in my current second home, an old villa with fabric wallpaper on the walls, thick carpets on the floor, and velvet curtains on the windows. Well, that's right now only half, because in this environment quickly made then the limits of max. Volume noticeable. The Fugoo played here just is not loud enough.
In addition, I noticed that the Klangefüge of Fugoo from 50% of the volume begins to fall apart.
Does that bass fade into the background, the heights further to the fore, the sound is thin. I have tried this several times in different environments in a blind test. From about 50% of the volume changes in overall timbre occur noticeably, whether with new or old firmware until then the sound with the above restriction is (room should sound absorbing good) good but just too quiet.
Outside (eg. When autumn picnic on the picnic blanket with the family), the nervous ups and the bass is also no longer given. In addition, the modest volume is breathed from the smallest Windchen it. If you want to louder you need to take the above-mentioned loss of sound in addition to buying.
To summarize: We keep our two UE boom, which represent in stereo mode (2 pieces) even at low volumes a completely different number (even if the on Oluvs comparison videos so not much I will have them to me almost not bought for this reason well but somehow I had to deal with so available until the Fugoo in Germany was) ok. the bass boom of the UE range is not quite as deep down as the Fugoo, but and this is crucial, the overall sound experience simply fits here in most environments.
The only CD that actually sounded better with the Fugoo compared to UE boom regardless of spatiality, Amy Mc Donalds A Curious Thing, symphony orchestra version was the UE Boom just does not seem to lie. Pixies, U2, Pearl Jam, etc. are just fantastic so if one wishes, which are also from the treble to the UE-boom and also in volumes far beyond the possibilities of Fugoo.
Two Star deduction for the unbalanced sound with the annoying heights.
One star deduction for low max. Volume in conjunction with sound loss from about 50% of the maximum volume
A Star Plus, for processing, as well as the overall concept (eg. Change case, battery life) of Fugoo.
