Review of the "Shakespearean" dynamics from Jarre Technologies: a souvenir for a music lover

When it comes to the so-called "design columns", many connoisseurs turn away in disgust, they say, such speakers are not for listening to music. However, the number of “not for music” Bluetooth speakers is huge, and many people buy them, guided by other preferences.



Today, a few words about the "musical skull" from Jarre Technologies.

Actually, the preferences that guide some users of portable acoustics are just in the aesthetic plane: speakers of a certain shape to look better in the interior. Columns in the form of characters of your favorite movies. Or, for example, to complete the collection of gadgets favorite brand, say, a column in the form of a rabbit Xiaomi.

Speaker Jarre Nano - rather from this plane. Speakers produced by Jarre Technologies , and in a series of speakers in the form of a skull at the moment, three models: Nano, XS and HD .



They all hint at Jean Michel Jarre’s legendary 1976 Oxygen album.



I got - the smallest .

Jarre aeroskull nano

First I would like to say a few words about authenticity. The question would still arise, and here's why. In this connection, I would like to make an important omission.

The acoustics we sell are official. First of all, there are no analogs of small size on Aliexpress. Secondly, all sizes, speaking in "technical language", coincide on the nose. If the weight is specified up to grams: 0.11 kg, then these data strictly correspond to reality.



The same applies to other dimensions: 7.6 x 6 x 7.5 cm.



It is worth adding that the models are sold in the “official box”, a sample of which was found on Instagram:



And, finally, a tranquil cherry on this cake is emblazoned with the official response from the support:

Good day. Sorry for our belated reply. The product has been certified by our distributor.

The serial number is certified.

Design

I just belong to the category of students who would choose the acoustics, based on its external qualities. It somehow happened that I like skulls.



Of course, the Aeroskull Nano is not an anatomical copy, but the silhouette is quite recognizable. As conceived by the designer, the eye sockets seem to be closed with glasses: these are the dynamics.



From the back side - a subwoofer:



Also at the bottom, at the base of the skull, the power and sync button and the input for charging are microUSB. When turned on, two “teeth” begin to glow on the lower jaw. One of them flashes until the speaker connects to the Bluetooth device.



Sound

It would be uninformative to “drive” through the built-in microphone and FuzzMeasure, so you have to retell the sensations.

If you compare “The Unforgiven” in two formats, for example, FLAC and Mp3, then in the latter - instead of drums, for example, you can hear the sound of a “can of sand”.

For low sounds in the dynamics meets the passive subwoofer. If you compare it with the native sound card Mac, it turns out:



Picture at Aeroskull better. Similar results can be heard using one of these tests , for example. An important role is played by what to connect the Nano: the Mac sound card is excellent, for example, pretty much cracking. Moreover, connecting by cable, the crackling is heard much stronger.

The speaker works great paired with a smartphone thanks to the A2DP profile. When turned on, the speaker emits background noise, similar to red, soft. You can hear it by lifting the aeroskull to your ear.

If music playback is not started, the speaker “responds” to the actions: Bluetooth clicks:




And the kitchen quality "The Unforgiven", recorded on the IPhone 7:



As a result

Still, 80 percent is a souvenir and a matter of taste. I, of course, happy as an elephant, but everyone has different tastes. However, the use of this particular instance of models from interior and souvenir to direct destination is typed.

In addition, the speaker is easy to take with you: small dimensions and weight make it inconspicuous during transportation, and even in the summer at a friendly picnic, he will definitely “shout over” the sounds of nature, which the smartphone may not do.

The manufacturer assumes that Aeroskull Nano can also become an element of the costume: in order to turn it into an accessory it is enough to use a carbine that comes in the kit and:



Continuing this idea, perhaps, in general, someone works in the children's theater studio and puts Hamlet. Why not? For adult productions, the XS model is more suitable ...


In general, the speaker seemed to me for its size quite decent sound.

Price

Despite the fact that these are official products, Jarre models are cheaper in Russia. Now on the official site the column costs € 89.00, or 5,500 rubles. In Russia, the official price for a small copy - 3 990 rubles . However, some in the Market continue to play by their own rules.

The gadget is sold in its original packaging, inside which there are a number of accessories (small loop, carabiner), as well as a combined charging cable: USB, MicroUSB and Jack.
