Classic Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker (Blue)
Manufacturer: Anker
Category: Speaker / Accessories
Price: $39.99
Product Description
“High definition sound and the industry's longest playtime packed into one of the smallest packages. Your mobile audio, delivered.” - Amazon
What is it?
This is a portable Bluetooth Speaker that has amazing battery life. We are talking about 20 hours on average.
What’s Hot
- Battery Life - not only is the battery life awesome but it charges pretty fast as well.
- Size - This thing is small and compact. I’m not sure why a lot of the competitors’ devices are so bulky…
- Sound Quality - I’m surprised at how good the sound quality is even at maximum volume. This speaker will fill an average sized bedroom with sound.
- Comes with a Travel pouch like most Anker products
What’s Not
- Price - $24.99 or even $29.99 seems like a better sweet spot. Knowing Anker the price will drop eventually.
- No skip track controls - This is more nitpicking than anything due to this feature not really being required due to you having a phone connected anyways.
- No wall adapter - This device doesn't ship with a wall adapter
Features
- 4W / 2 inch Driver and Bass port
- 15 - 20 hour playtime (2100mAh Li-ion Battery)
- 3.5mm audio in port (For non-Bluetooth devices)
- 33 feet Bluetooth range
- Built-in microphone with 2 feet pickup range
Build Quality: 5
At a glance it just looks like a small cube but, when you look a bit closer it still looks like a small cube… Well it actually more rectangular being that its length is longer than its height. The blue model has a smooth matte finish which doesn’t really show fingerprints unless you shine light on it which is a plus. Buttons are all clicky and responsive which is great. The bottom has a soft rubbery material so you wont have worry about it sliding around smooth surfaces.
Audio Quality: 4.5
Probably the most important thing about a speaker is the audio quality which defiantly not a let down here. In a small room this speaker will shine the best by filling it with clear high quality audio. Even in a average sized room this sounds awesome. I’ve taken this to a Outdoor basketball courts and it's sufficient enough for half court games. For it’s size it will will be very hard to find something that can match its quality.
Performance: 4.5
In this price range you won’t find something that will last you 20 hours and produce high quality sound. I’ve had this speaker a little over 2 weeks and i’ve only charged it 3 times. I use it almost everyday, The only real issue i have is there is no connection button. The only way to connect to a different device is to disconnect from the device you are currently connected to and power off then power back on.
Value: 5
This is easily the best bluetooth speaker under $50. Anker did an awesome job with this one and i would highly recommend it to anyone looking for something portable and inexpensive.
Average (Amazon): 4.4
My Thoughts
Flat out it's a great buy. So far I Haven’t been disappointed with any of the Anker products that i have purchased.
For Future Revisions
- Anker should try to make this model splash proof. I know it would be hard to do being that the speaker sits on the top of the device.
- Anker should make it so you can connect to multiple of these at once. maybe create a app that allow you to manage that.
- Anker should make a Hub app that allow multiple devices to connect to one speaker. With this multiple people could cue up songs in a playlist.
