Review on 🔊 Ultimate Portability for Audiophiles: Urbanears Ralis Portable Bluetooth Speaker in Haute Red by Vinay Ahuja ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A valuable purchase, some advantages!

Let's start with the fact that I have been looking for a replacement column for work for a long time. Before that, there was the first charge, then it crashed and bought a second iteration, which suited itself quite well at that time. At home, Onyx Studio 2 has been used as a wireless for several years. I will compare with them. For the price . I took it for 8.5 in an online trade. For comparison: charge 2 in 2022 - 6.5, Studio 2 in 2022 - 10.5. In terms of dollars and inflation, this is a flawless victory. I have to say, for the money plays very well. This is a full 2.1 system, the bass is felt here from the very beginning. It is deep and enveloping. BUT this is incl. and his scourge. Since there are no adjustments a la marshal, at times he begins to come to the fore. This applies to music overloaded with bass. And including watching movies through the laptop. For cinema, as before, I will use onyx studio. I can say for sure that listening to music is pleasant. I noticed that on it I often turn on the classics, soundtracks, old pop, restaurant arrangements. Yes, there are two multidirectional speakers, not like in jbl or h / k. One in front, the other behind, at some moments there is a direct spatial sound. But 20W is 20W. Other things being equal, jbl and h/k play louder. So this column is clearly not for a picnic. Including because it weighs 2 kg. This seems to be a disadvantage, but without such a cabinet it is difficult to achieve such a bass. There is a charge indicator. Press once, and the LED will indicate the stage of discharge (white - almost full, yellow, orange, red - almost empty). I did not understand only the logic of turning off the column. It's kind of like off, but at times it blinks white or yellow (from the level of charge, I suppose). Otherwise, if there are any disadvantages, they are crossed out by the price. No microphone? Yes, and thank God. There are no other codecs . yes, sadness, but the price. Irregular charging. Really a jamb if you drag from place to place. Charge 2 retires to the country, and Ralis will now definitely play second fiddle. A worthy competitor to the more versatile, but less bassist H/K.

Pros
  • The column really sounds. And it is audible. Quality workmanship, metal body and grill. The handle can be unscrewed and washed. It looks stylish, easily finds its place next to the frame and vase on the ikea table. Fast charging. This is very convenient and somehow levels the native cable. Ability to use as a charger. I wonder what the capacity of the bank. Buttons are like buttons, but with the location of power and pairing on the edge of the case, the solution is definitely excellent.
Cons
  • Lack of AptX codecs Non-standard charging Relatively quiet Even when turned off, the battery indicator is on.

Some pros: Good column. It plays an order of magnitude nicer and louder than the Chinese tronsmart element mega. Some cons: 1. no support for aptx or analogue, only sbs. 2. there is no possibility of combining with another same column. 3. does not transmit information about its charge to the phone
