Description of Hoco BS40 Desire Portable Acoustics Speaker - 14W, Red
Portable acoustics - an audio system that you can carry with you. Can work both from a network, and from the accumulator. Modern modules can play audio from external media (flash cards, disks, SD cards). When choosing products, you should pay attention to some important technical characteristics that will help determine whether the product is of high quality.
Number of speaker strips To achieve high sound quality, you can use several output strips, each of which will be responsible for a specific frequency. Today there are single, two-lane and three-lane models. The former reproduce music on one universal speaker, the latter completely separate high, low and moderate frequencies, which allows increasing the purity of the sound.
Maximum FrequencyWide bandwidth for natural sound. Even if you are playing a high quality media file, a narrow bandwidth can ruin everything. The average values are usually from 10 to 55 thousand Hz.
Signal/Noise It is known that if you turn off the speakers without playing audio, you can hear background noise from the amplifier. It is impossible to completely get rid of this, however, high-quality devices minimize noise performance, so the average parameters are in the range from 45 to 100 dB.
Connected devicesToday, most users store information on their own media: cards, mobile devices. It is very important that the device has enough ports to connect such equipment.
Modern models can work with Android smartphones, Apple technology, as well as all popular types of flash cards. There are also advanced devices that can be connected wirelessly.
EMI protectionIt is important that the device does not react with noise to extra waves, such as when a phone rings or a radio plays nearby. Sustainability...
Pros
- Very loud and clear sound even on songs with bass. Strap, aux and usb are included. Convenient wide legs for installation on a flat surface.
Cons
- So far not found.
Pros
- Hoco bs 40. In fact, the column holds much longer than stated, maybe due to the fact that I warmed it up, although this is not the product to bother like that. More than six months have already passed since I use it constantly from morning to evening, it plays music in my car. In general, for its price, it plays well loudly, but there is no bass, just pure music without squeaks and squeals
Cons
- No bass, but such a price, it's forgivable. If the microphone is noisy, then it is not audible. The interlocutor will hear quietly.
Pros
- In general, the column went to me. The design is beautiful! On the first impression it is made qualitatively. The size is average among the speakers, but it plays well. The Bluetooth connection with the smartphone went through immediately, without problems and any "complications". The speaker plays music despite its size quite loudly and there is enough bass for its size. In any case, the amount of bass and sound quality depends solely on the source. I distributed music from my smartphone to the speaker through the player application with the equalizer included in the application. I like it. The sound pleased. I'm already tempted by different sounds and I have something to compare with. I have many different portable disk and cassette recorders, music centers and have experience listening to different portable speakers. The price, size and quality of this column, in my opinion, are consistent with the manufacturer's specifications. The column has a built-in radio. The radio works very simply. We turn on the column. We connect the AUX wire, which is included in the kit, to the corresponding Mini Jack 3.5mm connector and the speaker itself determines the wire connection, accompanying it with the appropriate signal and voice message. Next, press the button - "M" and the column goes into radio mode and starts to "hiss". Then press the "Play Pause (►║)" button and the speaker starts to automatically search for radio stations. After the column has found all possible stations, it switches to playing the first one that comes across. Switching between tuned stations is done by pressing the "+" or "-" buttons for a second. Shorter presses on these keys increase or decrease the volume. In general, you just need to get used to switching between stations. It all depends on the duration of pressing the + or - keys. AUX connection also works. The first impression is not bad.
Cons
- Before buying, I asked a question in support for this product, does this speaker have a headphone output? I was told that - Yes, there is. In fact, there is no headphone output in it! There is an AUX input. This is the same Mini Jack 3.5mm input, BUT! This is a line input, not a headphone output. The reception quality of the built-in radio depends on the length of the AUX wire. It would be possible to regularly make the wire and more authentic. I think it's better to use a wire of at least a meter.
