Review on Hoco BS40 Desire Portable Acoustics Speaker - 14W, Red by Mateusz Trzmiel ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A high-quality product, the price corresponds to the quality.

I did not return the column due to the lack of the promised headphone output, because in general the column went to me both in terms of design, sound quality and dimensions. + a nice option is the included strap, which is also convenient for carrying it over your shoulder. The only thing that I still do not understand is how this column is doing with charging. Until I discharged it to a minimum in order to put it on charge. Later I will write that with charging, If I don’t write, it means that everything is fine! I recommend this product! And so far five stars for the first impression!

Pros
  • In general, the column went to me. The design is beautiful! On the first impression it is made qualitatively. The size is average among the speakers, but it plays well. The Bluetooth connection with the smartphone went through immediately, without problems and any "complications". The speaker plays music despite its size quite loudly and there is enough bass for its size. In any case, the amount of bass and sound quality depends solely on the source. I distributed music from my smartphone to the speaker through the player application with the equalizer included in the application. I like it. The sound pleased. I'm already tempted by different sounds and I have something to compare with. I have many different portable disk and cassette recorders, music centers and have experience listening to different portable speakers. The price, size and quality of this column, in my opinion, are consistent with the manufacturer's specifications. The column has a built-in radio. The radio works very simply. We turn on the column. We connect the AUX wire, which is included in the kit, to the corresponding Mini Jack 3.5mm connector and the speaker itself determines the wire connection, accompanying it with the appropriate signal and voice message. Next, press the button - "M" and the column goes into radio mode and starts to "hiss". Then press the "Play Pause (►║)" button and the speaker starts to automatically search for radio stations. After the column has found all possible stations, it switches to playing the first one that comes across. Switching between tuned stations is done by pressing the "+" or "-" buttons for a second. Shorter presses on these keys increase or decrease the volume. In general, you just need to get used to switching between stations. It all depends on the duration of pressing the + or - keys. AUX connection also works. The first impression is not bad.
Cons
  • Before buying, I asked a question in support for this product, does this speaker have a headphone output? I was told that - Yes, there is. In fact, there is no headphone output in it! There is an AUX input. This is the same Mini Jack 3.5mm input, BUT! This is a line input, not a headphone output. The reception quality of the built-in radio depends on the length of the AUX wire. It would be possible to regularly make the wire and more authentic. I think it's better to use a wire of at least a meter.
