christmas presents

We own many audio devices in our home, but we didn't have anything that was portable and wireless. we wanted something that we could carry with us anywhere, and not have to worry about plugging it in. upon opening the box I discovered a very nice looking device. it carried a little weight to it which makes it feel premium, and the fabric texture of the body feels great. it is a well built speaker, and the design is pleasing, and matches any decor. I couldn't wait to test it, so I connected it quickly and easily via bluetooth to my iPad, and I was up and running. all I can say about this speaker is... phenomenal. I couldn't believe the power and quality that came out of this gadget. I played some Ozzy Osbourne and it sounded brilliant. the bass was heavy and strong and it thudded through the floor when I turned it to max. I absolutely love it. I have a 2nd gen echo, and this speaker sounds just as good as that. it packs the same amount of punch, but it isn't plugged in. I took the speaker up the garden to test the range, and I left my iPad in the house. I walked around 50 feet away from the speaker, and it was still working perfectly. I can't recommend this speaker enough. it is brilliant. you can take it wherever you like and have good quality music on the go. it would also be great in a car, if it doesn't have any high tech equipment in it like mine. the speaker comes with a short cable (but no plug) and a small led light shows you when it needs to be charged. so, if you are looking for something that can be put anywhere, and that also has excellent powerful sound, then I don't think you find much better than this for this money. 5*

Sound level is enough for indoor usages but still for its size, was expecting it to go louder.

Simply boxed, comes with very short charging cable (USB A -> USB C) and basic languageless 'get started' instructions, but completely intuitive to use. Pairs easily and subsequently reconnects each time easily. Good quality sound, well-balanced; often these kind of speakers are very bass-heavy and aimed at yoof-music with its mindless thump-thump-thump but I can listen to my Renaissance choral music with this and have it come out perfectly balanced. These speakers can apparently be combined (it's not clear whether you can combine more than two) and no doubt it would be even better to have stereo sound, but probably not many people are going to purchase a couple of these at the price. One thing I particularly like about this compared to other Bluetooth speakers I have is that the connection doesn't time out and the speaker turn itself off soon after finishing playing your music. Often I just want a bit of silence after playing an album before playing something else and then after a few minutes I hear the speaker play the "I'm turning myself off now" sound meaning I have to faff around reconnecting everything again. Not so with this. That could be considered a downside of this from the point of power usage; indeed it doesn't seem to turn itself off at all as far as I can tell, at least not whilst there is still a Bluetooth connection. Maybe there is some way of changing auto-off settings via an app, but I can't actually find a manual for this product on the Philips site! Power is said to last 12 hours. I haven't timed it precisely but that sounds about right from my usage so far. There is a bit of an oddity around the indicator lights. There are 5 lights, but only 1 shows when the speaker is on, whatever the current charge level is. When you plug in, a number of lights show up for a few seconds to show the current charge level, but then are replaced by a single light alternately flashing white and red. You can also briefly see the charge level lights if you press any of the buttons, but I don't want to pause the music or fiddle with the volume in order to see the charge level. I can't understand why these lights cannot show the current charge level when on, whether charging or not. It would be really useful to know.

First the annoying part... A big selling point for me was the fact this looks nice when it's standing tall as in the primary photo, and I wanted to use it that way to save space and because I prefer that look. Unfortunately, it didn't sound right to my ears that way, so I had to place it along the shelf (boombox style) where it now resides to get the best audio. Also, it is smaller than I thought it'd be based on photos, but that's not a complaint, just an observation. That said, it sounds nice and has good bass, connects easily, and does look good. Volume is loud enough for a normal size room too. I wouldn't buy it at full price, though (I got it for about 40% off).

Para una bocina portátil el sonido es muy bueno tanto en calidad como en volumen. La calidad, presentación y empaque son excelentes. Muy satisfecho.

Je ne l'ai que depuis une semaine mais à priori, la qualité est au rendez-vous. Très bon son, très clair. Compacte mais puissante. Un peu plus chère que les concurrentes de marques peu connues mais la différence en vaut la peine.

Produto excelente, não deixou a desejar, tem um som limpo e com o grave bem presente. Também gostei que o volume pode ser alterado separado no celular e na caixinha, prefiro assim pois tenho um melhor controle. Acredito que é a melhor relação custo/benefício nessa faixa de preço. O único ponto negativo que achei foi que quando está conectado no bluetooth e sem reprodução, não desliga.

Sound is very good for a bluetooth speaker

Produit top qui me suit partout 👌🏾💯 De la musique à tt moment !
