By now most of the music we listen to part from smartphones and tablets, which have the potential speaker rather small. Connect an external speaker via Blueooth is a practical and fast way to improve the quality and volume of listening, why these products are among the best sellers in recent years.
On wisely we sampled several, from budget and laptops to those expensive and qualities, today we will see one that you place in the ranks of inexpensive but possesses many qualities.
The Inateck Dual-Driver Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker has an aspect simple and rather successful, a rectangular shape with rounded sides and a wider base for increased stability and tilt the cone of output of the sound upwards. Has a front grille that hides the two speaker 5W per channel and is bordered by a profile aluminum color very pleasant. At the center is placed the only button available, which is used to play / pause and answer incoming calls.
This has a treatment-like aluminum, and the center is screen printed logo Inateck and some icons. Unfortunately in my copy printing is not perfectly horizontal, and this little inclination returns an unpleasant effect. The dimensions are rather contained with 240 x 62 x 41 mm and a weight of 332 grams.
In the black circle around the button, there are three LEDs for: Bluetooth, battery charging (or download) and AUX. As soon as you turn on the part paring with our device, which can be a smart phone, a tablet or even a computer. Once paired please disconnect to be able to match the others, because it supports one at a time.
The rear is shiny black and the bottom, we find a button on/off, an AUX input for a wired source (cable supplied) and the micro USB port. The latter is used to recharge the internal battery of 800mAh. Included is the cable but not the charger, so we’ll have to use another device or even your computer.
To recharge the internal battery is used a lot, about 8 hours, but the range is very good because he can play for about 7 hours continuously. When the battery is low the device emits sound signals to warn us. The recess notice that in the upper zone serves to position smartphone or tablet.
Inateck Dual-Driver Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker has a width of 12mm and then you are able to place the majority of devices, often also with the cover. When you are standing on a large tablet and heavy, how can it be an iPad, then you can open a leg on the back that serves to give it more stability.
Being a product in its price class do not expect the sound quality of the highest level. You may be struck by the power and sense of space offered Inateck Dual-Driver Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker.
The bass are not very deep, but listening is really nice and the volume higher than what you can imagine. You can easily fill a very large room, and you listen well outdoors. It is ideal for their music, but with the ability to place a tablet in the stand also provides a valid use of video content.
The mids are those played better, but gets along well even going up to the highest tones, and low, although not particularly pumped, are clear and present. So it is not a product of high fidelity, but it plays very well his duty with an audio pleasant, strong and well-balanced.
If we want something more in terms of loyalty can also connect it to a sound source with a 3.5mm cable supplied: the speaker will go into AUX mode and will offer a higher-resolution audio. It even has a built-in microphone to answer calls while connected to the smartphone, but the yield is very poor, and you have to stick to the cashier to make our voice heard from the person.
Inateck Dual-Driver Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker – Conclusion
There are three things that I did not like in this case Bluetooth: screen printing crooked in the middle button, can join only one device at a time and the absence of buttons to control playback. So I do not consider myself a perfect product, but when I look at the price, I feel inclined to give him some venial sin. And as for the buttons soon forget not to have them, and you control everything perfectly from the connected device.
The appearance is managed (silkscreen separately), the compact size and the battery has a long life. The sound is not great, but it is above expectations in relation to the total price and is a product that I would recommend for those on a budget and have much in terms of yield.
