Ok. So let's do the good bits first...
Beautifully packaged, and well presented. You can tell the company are a professional outfit.
It took about 30 seconds to unzip it from it's bag and plug it into the mains with the provided adaptor. Indidentally, this comes with interchangable plugs ends for UK and Eroupe. We also have a battery compartment underneath that takes 4 "c" batteries. There's also a USB lead, a 3.5mm to 3.5mm lead and a remote.
So then you just power it on with the little switch at the back and it instantly goes into pairing mode. After a quick search on the phone, and several random attempts at the pairing code (without reading the manual) "0000", "1111", "1234", and we're paired up! Indicated by a tick! And you get this tick each time the phone automatically connects after a power on...
Then it's just a matter of starting up the music player!... The range is good, I would say about 7m in the house. Certainly further outside. Although you would ideally want to stay close, so you can hear the music!!
There are a few basic vizuals, that I imagine I shall probably only use to show off, really.
Vertical lines, where line of LED's represent a frequency - Bars, you know the thing.
Horizontal bars, which just blast out to the sides to represent Left and Right volume:
Touch sensetive controls on top adjust the volume, pause, skip tracks etc...
You can also control all this from the remote. Every action results in the LED's displaying something. 0-60 for the Volume, Arrows for the track skip.
And it all works as you would expect... And looks reet good.
The manual is really basic. It's in umpteen languages, and nicely printed, but if you've ever paired up a bluetooth headset, you will easily find your way around the BlackBox. Only refering to the manual to see if you've missed any features after playing with it for an hour or so! ie. It's easy to use, simple and sort of "does what it says on the tin"!
So how does it perform then, for what is really £100 of speaker?
Well, it's not bad at all. For the size of the drivers, it's quite loud, and I was a bit reluctant to turn it up at first. At low volume, it appears to be more bassy, so I expected it to distort and sound pants when I turned it up. But as I turned it up, the bass seemed to tone down and compensate. Which is a bit clever!
I also found that truning off the loudness, stereo and equilizer on the phone, giving it a direct source, appeared to improve the quality at low volume. On some songs, the bass did muffle the sound a touch. But it really depends on what you are listening to and the quality of the source.
It has a small air port at the back, which "breathes" when at high volume. This certainly does something to the sound and I've learned that the box does sound better when in different positions. Kind of bouncing sound off a wall, or in the corner of a room, for example.
Calls: Ok, it's not a handsfree device. So far as I can tell, it doesn't have a Mic, but you can use the speaker, if you wish. But when a call comes in, the LED's make a phone handset sign. The Music pauses and the
N95 goes into Handset mode. You take the call on the phone. When you hang up, the music un-pauses and continues to play through the blackbox. Which is probably best if you are our for a picnic or on the beach, really. You wouldn't want it blasting out your private call to all the world?
My only criticism is that the carry case doesn't have grills in the ends. The case is really well insulated and so you can't really use it as a modern day ghetto blaster! Sort of carrying it on your shoulder in da street!
My conclusion is that you could spend £100 and get some much better wired speakers. You could probably find a cheaper Bluetooth speaker, but not as portable. But all in all, it's an excellent all in one product - and that's what we
N95 users like!
Any questions, please ask.
