I recently revamped my home office setup & needed a simple small bt speaker for the primary purpose of listening to audiobooks & podcasts. This one is perfect for that & more!!
I’m no stranger to Bluetooth speakers I’ve probably got another 3-4 laying around the house but for this purpose I didn’t need anything fancy, waterproof or has colored LED lights. I did fully read the specs & look at review photos so the size is just what I was expecting! It’s compact with a simple interface I didn’t even bother looking at the instructions in the package & was able to connect it to my desk iPad within a minute of getting it out of the box.
The sound quality is impressive on this cute little baby too! I mean if you’re an audiophile then it probably won’t fit those standards as while I was working on my desk setup I did turn on music & if you turn it near max volume the backtracks become a lil distorted & the vocals don’t sound as sharp. But with that being said this lil speaker is LOUD so unless you’re hard of hearing you really don’t need to turn it up that much. I currently have it at the 40 mark & it’s very loud being right next to it… I only have a roughly 1,100 sq ft house & with this sitting in the furthest corner of the master from the rest of the house on volume 40 I can clearly hear it from every other room!
It also really is perfect for audiobooks & podcasts as speech comes out very clearly, even accents. I’m listening to Prince Harry’s Spare at the moment & his voice sounds perfectly dashing coming out of this speaker 😂
I can’t speak to taking calls on it as I purposely hooked it up to my work iPad so I won’t have to deal with switching from Bluetooth to my normal phone speaker as I have 2 rambunctious dogs so work calls on speakerphone are always a bad idea.
Also I saw a review about the “Bluetooth on/connected” / “powering off” voice being annoying….. I don’t own one pair of Bluetooth speakers or earphones that don’t have those prompts so sorry to that person that you find a 2 second voice to be annoying & completely ruining your listening experience?? The voice isn’t overly loud. It stays to whatever volume you have the speaker set to when you turn it on. Don’t like it? Take an extra second & turn the volume down every time you power up & down…
Lastly, battery power. It was almost completely charged right out of the box but I plugged it in anyways & in less than 30 minutes the light went off indicated it was up to the full 100%. I’ve had it on continuously for a quarter of the day & it’s still at 80% battery which is great! Even though it’s at my desk & easily plugged in quickly I appreciate a good battery life.
