aka my Grenade!
I've always wanted to have a protable speaker especially with the Bluetooth connection! Finally I got one from a store called Connect in Mid Valley.
Its interesting grenade shape has caught my attention and despite its sound system and its Bluetooth connection have no problem at all after tested it with sales assistant, I was still hesitate and a little bit doubt until the sales assistant said it has built-in microphone which allows you to answer phone calls! So... I bought it home.
The thing I love the most about this Philips Bluetooth wireless speaker is that it is so tiny that you can grab it in your single palm and it is so light that you might wonder if it was a toy. After a week I bought it, I accidentally dropped it on the floor but mehh... I wasn't worry as much as I drop my phone because it has protection from its rubber covering!
Oh I almost forgot the most important thing, the Bluetooth. That's the main point I bought the speaker. I was so amazed by its speed of its connection to my phone! Since they got paired, every time I turn on Bluetooth on both speaker and my phone, they are automatically connected and it is so fast, like *snap on the fingers!
After they are connected, there you go to enjoy your music! The songs play from the speaker is nice, as I mentioned that I have test the speaker but what I didn't mention is I have tested another Bluetooth speaker, but I immediately rejected because their left and right stereo are not balance. Philips Bluetooth wireless speaker has no prob with that!
See that button beside the brand's name 'PHILIPS'? The one surrounded with blue light circle? You can press it whether to play or pause your song, and if somebody call you while your phone is connected with the speaker, you can answer the phone call by pressing the button too! How cool is that?!
Another great thing is, you can connect Philips Bluetooth wireless speaker to non Bluetooth devices as well! By switch to the AUX and connect the cable to your device and enjoy your music!
Now you may ask about the battery... Purrhh! There is rechargeable battery which I heard can last 8 hours once it is fully charged. Hmm... I doubt that, from my experience, I think it can last longer! I got excited when I bought it so I kept using it for a week and it is 'alive'!
Y'know how cool the old school boombox street was? Good news for those boombox street hipster wannabe, carry the heavy boombox on the shoulder like this cool dude is over!
Philips Bluetooth wireless speaker provides a clip which you can effortlessly hang it on your pants' belt loop and you 'll be the new generation of 'soundshooter street'!
*Yea, I don't know what the hell I'm talking about too! Teehee!
Ok ok, despite all these great things about this speaker, I would like to talk about the things that didn't reach my expectations.
First, the bass. I was expecting it will have more bass so that the music sounds better and the stronger bass the music has, maybe my grenade can move like it is dancing wtf!
Second, it is loud, which is a good thing. Just that it doesn't have a volume control on itself, what you have to do is control the volume on whatever device you connect to it.
But I think I like it that way, add on the volume controller will just mess up its simple design.
It comes with variety colors for you to choose your favourite!
I chose this dirt green color because I want the original grenade color hahaha!
It is available in most of the iPad and Ipod stores, and electronic stores as well like Harvey Norman, it costs about RM149 each. Go and grab one, boys and girls!
I recorded a video for it by using Instavideo.
So wait no more!
Ladies and gentlemen, let's hear my grenade playing the song, grenade!
