Not a single sound: we choose a Bluetooth speaker not only by ear
Choosing a portable speaker, you have to look not only at the sound. More precisely, no, not so. You have to watch, and not just listen!
We tried to select such models in this collection that would have some additional unique characteristic, a feature that could influence the choice of small acoustics. No matter how strange it may sound, but many try to solve interior tasks, when small speakers are chosen, mobility is important for someone, anyway, it happens that the sound as a characteristic fades into the background. ')
We secured our own hearing, a sound generator and a test from YouTube . This, of course, is not so convincing, because there is no guarantee that our hearing aid works as it should, and also we listened to some Metallic.
Nyne Mini - mobile speaker for nature
What is the trick: mobility
Lightweight speaker, which is convenient to take with you thanks to a special case with a carbine, which comes in the kit.
The ease is emphasized by the design: the side part clearly resembles a leaf of a tree.
Rubber case dynamics: not afraid of spray. Stability on flat surfaces is provided by rubber “legs”.
The speaker interface is simple and intuitive: a few buttons that are responsible for the volume, playback and answer the call. They are located on the front of the copier, above the metal mesh, which is closed speaker.
The power button, as well as connectors for the Jack and the charging cable are on the back.
In the "peyring" mode, a blue diode is visible under the grid, which is lit continuously when the speaker connects to a device.
The small speaker Jarre Aeroscull Nano is made in the shape of a skull, hinting at one of Jean-Michel Jarre's major albums - Oxygene.
It is compact and light enough, and in order to take it with you, for example, on the street during a walk, a special cord and a carabiner are also provided. The place for their fastening is allocated on the "top" of the speaker.
The sound comes out of the "eyes" and "neck": there is a passive subwoofer. The A2DP codec provides stereo quality wirelessly. The interface is simple, or more correct to say: there is practically none. The speaker volume is regulated only on the paired device.
On the back of the case there is a single on / pairing button and a charging connector. Through the same connector works in the "wired" mode.
Stability on a flat surface is provided by rubberized gaskets:

Low frequencies reproduces from 36 Hz . Dimensions: 7.6 x 6 x 7.5 cm. A burning tooth indicates that the speaker is connected to the device:
Of course, the main distinctive feature of this model should recognize the design. Recognizable her first make this feature.
The speaker is designed in such a way that it turns any flat surface into a passive subwoofer. A wide rubber area is responsible for stability on surfaces:
All controls are placed on the side of the case, in the dark, they are perfectly palpable. Rubberized body makes this model resistant to splashes.
Three bright diodes are located to the metal grid. The main “color scheme” is hidden inside.

Low frequencies on the tone generator start to be recognized from 37 Hz, at high frequencies you can’t distinguish between about 12,000.
Among the advantages should be noted lightness and compactness: the height is about 4 cm, as a result - mobility. In addition, it is worth noting the light and music accompaniment, as well as protection from splashes, which during small home parties is by the way. Little autonomy confuses a little: the speaker seems to be more for use at home!
Rock Mulite - speaker for the bedroom or children's room
What is the trick: speaker-night light
Another "light" speaker from Rock: the whole lower part of this model is a night light.
This is a good solution to create comfort in the bedroom or in the nursery, if, for example, a child falls asleep under a fairy tale, but at the same time he is afraid of the dark.
The model is controlled by buttons, which are located on the top. The speaker itself is protected by a metal grid. On one side of the connector for Jack, MicroUSB, as well as a slot for a memory card.
For stability on the surface are responsible special silicone stickers:
The speaker is not very small: it is 19 cm high. However, it will look quite harmonious on the bedside table.

Divoom - interactive smart speaker with alerts and games
What is the trick: interactive features
Divoom is a smart speaker that has additional features that are completely unrelated to sound.
Access to them opens a special application. So, if you synchronize Bivoom Timebox with your computer, you will not see some of these features. The front part of the speaker is a digital display, on which at least - time is displayed, as the maximum - everything else. When enabled, the speaker is looking for a pair.
You can customize the display using the application. Moreover, you can choose one of the specified elements:
Or make your own design and send it to your device.
Here, a little of our creativity:
In addition to funny faces, you can display notifications on the display. The information from the smartphone you want to receive also needs to be configured in a special menu in the application.
Several simple games are integrated: in principle, you can have some fun in a company, for example, throw bones. To do this, start the game in the application and shake the phone.
In general, there are no problems with management through the application. The main elements: switching on, volume, etc. are placed on the speaker housing - on the top panel.
To exit the sound - the back wall. The speaker itself is hidden behind a metal net, and there are several exits at the same time on the wall.
Stability dynamics provide additional rubber "legs".

What is the trick: open speakers and surround sound
Open speakers - an atypical solution for portable models, but it looks really impressive, especially when they "tremble" at high volume. And they sound decent.
With Allocacoc products, we have already introduced you to the blog pages . Fame in the form of a cube brought fame to these guys, and this time, with a speaker, they did not abandon the familiar shape. Although the size of it, of course, exceeds the extension cords.
The cube is designed in such a way as to ensure the spread of sound in all directions: there are 4 audio outputs, one for each side wall.
On the other two: a large power button and a connector for charging or connecting to the network.
Also on the side with the button is the outlet for Jack. For those who prefer to listen on the wire. The cube is supplied with its plug - the length of the wire is 1 m.
It works both from the network and via Bluetooth. The battery life is up to 8 hours.
All basic controls are rendered on the cube case:
The sound of the cube turned out to be quite good. Low frequencies seem to be heard better than all of the above: from 22 - 24 Hz, and at high levels, the hearing stops distinguishing around 14,700 Hz. It seems that in most cases I have such a top result - should I see a doctor ...
Specifications
Speakers: 40V = 10V * 4
Audio output: AUX 3.5mm
Audio cable: Length: 1m
Connection: Bluetooth4.0 (effective distance 10 m)

In general, Allocacoc wins in sound with many. Open type emitters, apparently, provides not only the visual effect of an “adult” speaker, but also help with bass, which are clearly distinguishable at around 20 Hz.
