The 3 test candidates:
- Anchor Portable Bluetooth Speaker (10h battery life)
- Raikko EVOLUTION
- EDIFIER Extreme Connect
Test conditions:
Belongs iPhone 5s via Bluetooth connected to all 3, placed each in front of me and sample
I wrote only the points that were especially important to me and are designed to provide insight into the sound. All other points such as usability, design, etc. I have not mentioned a matter of principle, because other customers have written about enough.
The Bluetooth functionality have all 3 together and worked well even right away.
In general - what I do not anspreche, I am not particularly caught your eye, or I have no value upped the ante, therefore it can be seen as a "neutral" rating.
Since no one meter long texts will be read, I write briefly what I noticed on all 3 speakers:
Anchor Portable Bluetooth Speaker (10h battery life):
+ Price / performance ratio of "good" (time of testing 25)
+ Bass "very good" - has an insulated rear opening by which hides the woofer - has plenty of power for the size
+ The anchor was the smallest in the test and therefore stands out by its size and the good bass
+ Good battery life (10h)
- The highs are very exaggerated, it sounds partly tinny - key missing my opinion fully
- To bear At full load hardly the table vibrates and the heights pain in the ears
- At low volume hardly Bass, almost all heights
Raikko EVOLUTION:
- Price / performance ratio "sufficient" (time of testing 70)
- The Bass from Raikko has hardly convinced even at full load, he was the weakest in the test
- You have the cell phone radiation is one when one was nearby (!!) For the price absolutely unacceptable!
- The Raikko was the quietest speaker in the test! Even Indoor did not miss bass and volume - to use outdoor barely
+ Sound in general was quite good, the highs and mids were well balanced
+ A rich and high quality accessories gave it to
EDIFIER Extreme Connect:
+ Price / performance ratio "very good" (the time of testing 50)
+ Clean, clear sound at low volume and at full load
When höhsten stage he overridden easily, but that's my opinion, justifiable
+ Bass convinced both domestically and outdoor use - comparable to anchor, but consistently clean sound
+ Seemingly splash-proof housing, since everything is sealed with rubber
+ Good battery life (12h) -> tested!
Conclusion:
All 3 test candidates have their pros and cons. In general, they do all that for which they were built - Music playing through various interfaces.
Particularly disappointed me the "Raikko Evolution". For the price I would have expected a lot more power. Would you prefer the slightly smaller battery fail but do not let it saves the amplifier, it would certainly have been a great device. But he is much too low and Bass default inefficient.
The "anchor" is a real tip for bargain hunters and people who indeed to sound worth considering, but rather want to spend less money or want to save as much space as possible for its current price. When anchor may takes in the next generation a few mid-range and eliminates the override, it is one of the top devices in the low-price sector.
My clear winner is the "extreme Edifire Connect". He comes from the pricing midfield and convinced me in all areas. The bass has a good performance for its size, the mids and highs are very well laid out and the housing and design convinced. The battery life of over 12 hours is as it were the cream topping on the whole package.
So if you have a good speaker for indoor and outdoor investigated, but a medium-sized Klangfetischist is not necessarily want to spend more than 100 for a Bose system is well served with Edifire extreme Connect ".
