KEF R300 Test The British company KEF, like its biggest competitors, has always had excellent products in the middle segment. Due to the great prices, more attention has always been paid to the C and Q series, but the R series actually offers top quality for not so much money. Today we do KEF R300 review. Disclaimer: If you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Read More   The R Series consists of as many as ten models. The last member of this family is the R50 model which is used in Dolby Atmos

Edifier R1700BT – 2.0 Bluetooth Speakers for PC and Smartphone in the Test Today we brought another 2.0 system to the test. 2.0 means that they are stereo speakers without an additional subwoofer. Naturally, this results in less bass power, but easier handling and – for most people an important point: less space. While the satellites are usually smaller in a 2.1 system, the problem is often that you do not know where to put the oversized subwoofer, which often somehow bothers on the floor. We also prefer the 2.0 systems for music. Disclaimer: If you purchase through links on

KEF LSX – wireless, active speakers designed for users looking for good sound and a wide range of wireless playback capabilities in a small physical format. Disclaimer: If you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Read More   These are KEF’s other wireless speakers, which look and act much like the scaled-down version of the LS50 Wireless, a review you read on this site a few months ago. The LS50 Wireless are extremely powerful and undeniably outstanding speakers, but with one annoying disadvantage: the price is high. Although we wouldn’t dare call LSX cheap

Klipsch R-15PM powered monitor speakers with USB-DAC and Bluetooth – rich sound for $ 300? Klipsch now wants to stay in the business by offering an attractive product – active, compact multifunctional loudspeakers and is launching the R-15PM active monitors at a price of $ 300. Equipped with Bluetooth interface, optical digital input, USB-DAC for use as an external sound card with PC and Mac, cinch input (can even be used as a phono input via switch), 3.5 mm audio socket and pre-out for connection an active subwoofer, hardly leaves any wish unfulfilled. Unfortunately, Klipsch does not specify which bit

A lot of times we need a good portable speaker. Whether it be a private party, a street gig, voice announcements in the schoolyard, or a brief performance at a pub. Existing solutions are good, but then something is always wrong. There is no power outlet nearby, the speaker is too quiet, the speaker is too big, the sound is undifferentiated … The Bose S1 Pro offers us a multifunction box that should do just this – a speaker for everyone.

JBL Flip 5 Review – is it better than its predecessor? The popular JBL speaker, Flip, has its fifth incarnation. The novelty generates more power, has an updated interface and refreshed design. How has the sound of Flip changed and is the speaker worth the money? Disclaimer: If you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Read More   First Impressions & Connectivity Flip 5 was first shown at the January CES trade show, but for its appearance in stores, we had to wait more than half a year. While it may look amazing in

Distinctive design, plenty of power and ease of use are the most significant features of the new Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4 speaker, which does not allow wi-fi connectivity but is available at a far more affordable price. Like the other models in the series, the Onyx Studio 4 features a distinctive design, with a case that is mounted on the legs and slightly angled backward. The shape of the case is most accurately described as a combination of two convex surfaces, with a protruding front and back, so the device looks very attractive and futuristic from every angle. The

Ultimate Ears is a well-known company to most professional musicians, and their owner, Logitech, strives to introduce this brand and their products to a broader, mostly younger, population. Since its inception in 1995, the company has been producing in-ear monitor headphones for musicians, and in 2005 began manufacturing a commercial line of headphones. In 2008, they were purchased by Logitech and in 2013 Ultimate Ears began manufacturing wireless speakers. In addition to the UE Megaboom speakers we got for testing, Logitech offers a smaller UE Boom 2 and UE Roll 2 models that resemble a cushion in design, and all

Today we have Edifier S2000 Pro in a review. If you are following the world of high-quality audio, we do not need to introduce the Edifier to you. This is a Canadian-Chinese manufacturer who built the name on active speakers with an excellent price-performance ratio. Although these speakers costs ~$400, once you feel them, study them and listen to them, you will wonder how the price is not much higher.

Finally, we can present a KEF LS50 Review article. Read below why I bought the KEF LS50 speakers before testing, and why they became a permanent part of my own system. Disclaimer: If you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Read More It all starts from the High-End Fair in Munich where the KEF LS50 was premiered in 2012. They were created to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the company, but also as the ‘successors’ to the legendary BBC LS3/5A speakers, which KEF once produced under a BBC license. Even then, there was talk

With its first Bluetooth speaker, 1MORE has come up with a number of pleasant surprises in terms of both: features and acoustic performance. Having produced a number of excellent wired and wireless headphones, which you have already read about on this site, 1MORE decided to try out on a (pre) crowded field of portable Bluetooth speakers. The company’s first such device bears the generic name Portable BT Speaker, but nothing about its capabilities is commonplace. What is more, we are of the opinion that for the given price it is one of the best choices on the market. It is

The JBL Flip 4, as its name implies, is the fourth generation of the Flip Portable Bluetooth Speaker, the biggest novelty being the IPX7 certification. In other words, Flip 4 is resistant to water to a depth of one meter, while Flip 3 was only resistant to possible splashing. We get the impression that solid Bluetooth speakers are still a neglected category. Buyers of such devices are usually divided into those who buy (or receive) a “boombox”, and those who are notorious for the prestigious Bang & Olufsen models or Bowers & Wilkins’ Zeppelin. The first category cannot be expected

Unlike cell phones and TVs, the Bluetooth speaker-test is much more subjective. The answer to the question of what to buy is best given by a comparative test, such as this. I have selected the ten best and most affordable Bluetooth speakers in different price categories. Individual tests are not the best solution here. Only when you listen to them simultaneously, with the same content in the same room and outdoors, you can judge the quality of each Bluetooth speaker. Bluetooth speakers are cool gadgets. The sound quality coming out of these boxes is amazing, and although at first, I

What does the fourth generation of the JBL Charge wireless speaker bring? Read our test … The most serious competitor of the new JBL Charge 4 speaker is probably the Flip 4 of the same brand. What speaks in favor of the JBL Charge 4? First of all, the powerbank function (which means both a more efficient battery and longer working time) and a new type of USB connector – C. But Flip also has an ace up its sleeve: it offers hands-free mode and integration with the Siri or Google Now voice assistant, and, unlike Flip, stereo sound. Which

The new Xtreme 2 sounds even better than before, lasts as long as ever and has learned some new tricks, like diving. The first version of JBL Xtreme set a new standard among mobile Bluetooth speakers. The device was able to publicize a large party, delighted with dynamic and entertaining sound and bass, which could even be seen thanks to vibrating passive membranes. The Xtreme 2 model is a bit heavier and has larger bass drivers (70 mm instead of 63 mm), generates deeper low tones (55 Hz instead of 70 Hz), and is waterproof (IPX7 instead of IPX4). Check

Bose Solo 5 Review: An Ultra-Compact Soundbar For a long time, we have not tested one of the products of the US company Bose, which is one of the largest speaker manufacturers and, for home use, is very popular with the products of small and very effective speaker packages for AV systems. We got a Bose Solo 5 Soundbar for the test, which basically has the purpose of offering higher quality sound than the speaker units built into today’s modern TVs. In this segment, Bose has created his own vision for the Solo 5 soundbar. Disclaimer: If you purchase through

The market for wireless and portable speakers is increasing. This expansion goes to the detriment of the classic speakers, so the power ratio changes significantly. Why is that? Because the development of wireless technology has made it that achieving sound is simpler and implementation in realistic terms is simpler. Music is stored on smartphones and tablets and can be easily transferred to modern speakers by Bluetooth connection. Such systems are simple, mobile and ready for work right away and do not take half the living space which is an extra plus. And the price is not too high. True “Plug
