Pros
- 1) nice concise appearance 2) quality finish 3) loud premium brand name 4) the presence of a carrying strap 5) pleasant material of the strap to the touch (externally artificial black leather, inside - artificial red velvet) 6) a pleasant light indication of the charge both in static (when it is turned on and working) and when charging (it runs from the bottom up (the run starts from the drawn battery icon) 7) the presence of adjustments for low and high frequencies 8) all adjustments are rotary, not lever, which is a big plus for me, since I usually use the column, not as a stationary one 9) the presence of 4 support legs from below, which means that the column can be supported even on damp / wet asphalt or on the ground / shallow dirt and not be afraid that water / dirt will accidentally get inside the column 10) moderate weight and size (12 liters of volume (calculated from the dimensions of the sides) and 5 kg of weight, weighed on a kitchen scale) for its performance, this means that such a column can be carried with you in a backpack for a long time without any problems (but for me with such a weight it’s already better to go than to go) or carry it with you on roller skates, a bicycle, a skateboard, a scooter, etc. According to my observations, it will fit into a backpack with a volume of 50 - 60 liters 11) the ability to work on battery power 12) the presence of a built-in removable battery 13) maximum minimalism both in design and in the configuration (box, instructions, speaker and charging wire), but it is also a drawback 14) the presence of moisture protection, however, for the sake of it, I did not check it directly in the rain, but I carried it in a backpack during the winter snowfalls 15) I don’t know how it is in other instances, but for the entire time of my operation, the speaker collapsed along with the Karrimor SuperCool 60 - 100 backpack from a vertical position to a lying position more than 10 times, once the backpack with it fell from a bench about half a meter high, I thought it would be Khan, but no, the sound quality did not seem to have deteriorated, so the shock resistance is also not so bad. But I still don’t advise you to specifically check it with a sledgehammer or understand it backwards
Cons
- 1) the speaker plays perfectly, but not always, sometimes there is so much bass in certain compositions that no matter how you play with the adjustments, this problem still remains 2) after using a period of a little more than a year (I bought it in mid-July last year, received it and started using it around the end of July - beginning of August), I found that the standard battery is sensitive to ambient temperature and frequency of use, since the new one it has been working continuously from a full charge of about 5 - 6 hours at full volume, now it’s already 3.5 hours, i. E. if the walk is long (for example, for half a day), then if you want to listen to music as continuously and for a long time as possible, you can’t do without an additional battery 3) although the battery is removable, it will not be possible to quickly change it, as, for example, in a GoPro action camera. First you need to unscrew 10 screws to remove the back cover (for the first time I had to pry it from the entire perimeter with a flat screwdriver, because it was held tightly on colorless glue, you can try to remove it with suction cups, which, for example, remove car windshields), then after removing, remove 2 more screws to remove the plastic clip holding the battery, and then gently pulling the plastic part of the battery connector, remove it from the seat, put a new one in and then repeat everything in reverse order. The first time is dreary, but further, if you have the skill, this procedure will take about 10 minutes 4) even if in a spacious quiet room the speaker seems excessively loud to you, then on a city street or in a quiet park in a large open area of \u200b\u200bspace it will not seem so loud already, or if, for example, you wear it / carry it with you in a backpack 5) after about 9-10 months of intensive use, I began to notice the displacement of the lower part of the decorative grille from the front side (apparently, a 5-inch low-frequency speaker knocks out with its amplitudes at full volume over time). Might be glued on. 6) price
