Review on Portable Acoustics Audio Pro BT5, 40W, walnut by Van Chayathon ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Im not particularly happy, but basically everything is fine.

I bought it because of the price and reviews, and in general I am disappointed, despite the price of 5500. The sound has no volume at all and this is even in comparison with the 4 times smaller jbl flip 4 (I also have it). Flip 4, despite its size, fills my kitchen of 12 square meters with pleasant music. and here you are really surprised by its size, relative to the depth and volume of the sound. The Audio pro BT5 has a soft, bassy sound (here, of course, Flip4 is not a competitor), but it is straight flat. At volumes below average, the bass turns everything into mush and completely interrupts the mids and highs. In defense of BT5 we can say that even at maximum volume, the basses do not wheeze and win back with dignity, but this flat sound without volume interrupts all the advantages . and yes, I got it not without jambs in the assembly (pictured) Bottom line: if you don’t like listening to music very loudly, but prefer quality and detail, take Flip 4 better (it’s even cheaper), and if you are a fan of drum and bass, jungle, etc., then you can consider buying BT 5. I I'd rather pay more and buy something like a Marshall Acton as a stationary speaker.

Pros
  • Soft velvety bass, loud enough.
Cons
  • Extremely weak medium and high frequencies, there is not enough volume over the entire frequency range (I think due to the fact that it is mono). Build quality is average.
