Decent speaker but has a few problems
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 February 2014
I received this speaker for review and thought to share my thoughts about it.Accessories:The accessories is comes with are good, although not perfect.I like the fact you have a long charging wire and aux cable - however the carrying pouch doesn't really fit the speaker. This is because it is an incredibly tight fit and it isn't aided by the fact that the device is made with a rubber-esk surface.Thus the pouch is a nice idea, but it is very hard to get the speaker in and out of the pouch.Build quality:The build quality is a little hit and miss.I really like the finish of the device, the look of it and the button placements. I also like the input (charging and aux) on the side of the device.However, something I really didn't like is the fact that when the speaker is paired with a device, it makes a very odd beeping sound. Furthermore, when sound is playing I was able to hear a little bit of rattle coming from the speaker, when played at high volumes.I wouldn't have minded if the speaker was £30-45, however at a £90 price tag, one expects some sort of premium quality from the device itself. I was thus left in two minds about the build quality.Bluetooth Connectivity:The connectivity is decent but not great. It was very easily paired with my Galaxy S3, but in terms of its Bluetooth range, I was left very disappointed. I feel that Bluetooth is one of the main selling points of the speaker and more so as a consumer you would be paying a little premium for it.In this case the Inateck speaker sort of failed after moving my S3 more than 5m away from the speaker (with a wall separating the two devices).Other speakers I have tested don't have this problem and had no issues at over 15m (with 3 walls in-between).Thus, the Inateck can't be enjoyed thoroughly as a Bluetooth speaker. If I were to put it in the living room and move to the kitchen with my S3 it would start cutting out - which in all honesty is very disappointing.Sound quality:As someone who appreciates sound, I was disappointed with the sound quality (especially at the given price tag) of the Inateck speaker.The mids sounded recessed and very much muffled and the highs were somewhat rolled off.The bass on the other hand was good and impressive.Again, if this device costs half the asking price then my analysis would have been very different. However for £90, again I expected a lot more and thus was left quite disappointed.Conclusion:This Bluetooth speaker is a hit and miss - I do like the volume output it has and more so how it produces nice bass frequencies, but apart from that and its looks, I find it very hard to recommend the speaker at the given price tag.If the speaker was cheaper (half price at around £45 or cheaper) then the review outcome would have been very different.
