Review on πŸ”Š Philips BT2500B/37 Wireless Portable Speaker with Enhanced SEO by Trian Wright

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Reduced to 4 stars after phone call.

It only took a few minutes to discover Bluetooth. I'll probably keep the USB cable plugged in at all times as I've read reviews where this is an issue. The main use is to listen to music on my iPhone5s while working on my computers. The sound from the speaker isn't very high quality, but definitely better than my phone's speaker, and I only need background music - I wasn't looking for super quality here. I also bought a Ugreen Slim This 3.5mm audio cable as a backup. Volume is better with a direct cable, but ok with Bluetooth. I'm a bit hard of hearing and the phone reception in my area isn't the best with AT&T, so I really want to use it for hands-free calling. It's quite difficult to hold the phone and work on the computer. Update: Just tried a phone call device. Pretty bad. I had to crank the sound all the way up and get it to my ear, but the sound was still very weak. The phone is not 60 cm away from the device. The music on the phone stopped as it should and resumed when the call ended. You may need to try a Bluetooth headset. Come on, the music is still good.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Unreliable
