Just defeated Flexsmart X2 in Song Battle on FM 89.7!

I've been a lifelong fan of the GoGoGroove Flexsmart X2. And I still am, but the Roav SmartCharge T1 just won the song Battle on FM 89.7. It's half the price ($18 vs. $30 when I bought both) and offers high-speed USB charging. Experiment: I put a Roav T1 on my 2004 Acura TSX and a Flexsmart X2 on my 11 Subaru WRX, about 10 feet apart. I tuned both FM stations to 89.7 and made sure the Flexsmart X2's internal volume/power is set to 30 (max). With the Roav T1, you can only control the volume from the source device. Next I played Avicii on the Roav T1 (full volume on phone) and Vampire Weekend on the Flexsmart X2 (full volume on computer). Conclusion: The sound from the Avicii / Roav Car T1 was full, with rich bass, without any static background. Moving on to the Vampire Weekend/Flexsmart X2 car, the audio quality was very good for the most part. To be honest, I was impressed that every song came out surprisingly clearly in both machines. However, some static noise could be detected on the Vampire Weekend/Flexsmart X2 machine. Cars. The Roav T1 car at the station had no static/white noise at all. Intermittent hissing was heard in the Flexsmart X2 car. T1 is the winner. If they're ever the same price, I'll still go with the Roav T1 from personal experience. The Flexsmart X2 has the ability to connect 2 Bluetooth devices at the same time, but I don't think that justifies the price difference.

Pros
  • handy item
Cons
  • so far so good
