Often, such speakers are buying for the nature of nature, but if your laptop supports Bluetooth protocol, they can be turned into a compact system for home without unnecessary wires and busy USB / 3,5mm connectors. Also, a number of columns support AUX. So, they can be used in the car. The main advantages of portable columns:

• Compactity. The columns are small, weigh little, and easily placed in a pocket or bag.

4 Philips Pixelpop.

Excellent implementation of the speakerphone function. Antiklipping
Country: Netherlands (produced in China)
The average price: 1 290 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.5

The Philips Pixel Pop wireless audio brine has already managed to nose the JBL GO killer, and it seems that there is foundations. They cost the same cheaply, but "Phillips" seems nice to many more and in autonomy he wins, working at the maximum volume of 7-8 hours. In size, this column is comparable to the men's purse, but the sound produces pure, bass and loud - it is impossible to listen to the maximum on the maximum. In general, with direct responsibilities, the device copes on the top five.

There is another pleasant feature: if someone calls at the time of listening to music through the smartphone, you can accept the challenge and talk directly through the column. This feature is in many devices, but it is optimally implemented in Pixelpop. On the speakerphone, you can talk from a distance of about 1 m, and the mutual audibility of the interlocutors remains at a high level. No less happy option "Antiklipping", thanks to which sound distortions are not allowed even with a low battery charge. And what do feeds say about the shortcomings?

Rating (2019): 4.7

On the second generation of the column of the MI Round series from Xiaomi, the brand fans pinned huge hopes. Something came true, but the characteristic "sores", contrary to the voices of the mind, remained in their places. So, consumers really liked the updated design and weight-ergonomic parameters, complemented high quality assembly. Came to the place and updated bluetooth module 4.0, thanks to which the column provides a reliable connection to the source.

But from the sound of MI Round 2, users have entitled to wait more. The built-in speaker on 5 W showed the complete inability to reproduce bass, which simply could not pass by lovers to listen to music with a predominance of low frequencies. All other playback parameters (RF and SC) were in the optimum, due to which the situation that arose has gained a compromise. In general, the column is not ideal, but it is definitely worth his money.

The average price: 1 810 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.7

If the previous rating member gained popularity due to powerful sound, then JBL Go conquered the market for its availability while maintaining excellent functional. The column is supplied in a compact housing. It is even equipped with a lace to make it easier to get it out of his pocket. In addition to black, there are 7 bright colors of the device. The housing is quite original, the externally speaker resembles a very compact version of the guitar amplifier.

Features of the device:

• Compactness. On dimensions, column less modern smartphone. The weight of only 130 grams.
• You can use as a headset. The case of acceptance buttons are made on the housing, the volume control keys.
• The disadvantage is a relatively small work time without recharging. (5-6 hours in listening to music).

It is noteworthy that the second version of GO 2 became even more interesting in appearance and characteristics, practically without accomplishing the cost. The sound is distinguished for the better, although the speaker remained the same size, 40 mm. Yes, you won't call the bass, but the volume of the volume is beautiful. And what a color gamut! 12 cunning names like Sunkissed Cinnamon or Icecube Cyan - for every taste. Unfortunately, the novelty is not trained longer to hold the charge, but for business trips, to the beach or to give a better device to do not find.

Rating (2019): 4.8

With the output of the SRS-XB10 portable column, the Sony brand proved that he knows how to do sound in any format and in any price category. It is not surprising, the baby, easily placed in his hand, belongs to the EXTRA BASS series and gives "fatty" low frequencies. It is worthwhile to get two such devices to mate and get a great stereo sound on a decent distance from the source. It is a pity that the Songpal brand application does not support this model, so you can choose a high-quality entry and work with an equalizer to improve the sound.

The pairing with other devices occurs easily - through the NFC or Bluetooth module. The instruction that and where it connects, completely consists of understandable pictures, even the child will not be confused. Users noticed an interesting software distribution function in frequencies. Thanks to it, with a significant increase in volume, the lowest and high frequencies are muffled, due to which the entry of the recording becomes more comfortable without additional manipulations with the settings. The only drawback on which is complaining - the gauge of the case. However, the column has water to be IPX5, so if necessary, it is easy to rinse it slightly.

The best inexpensive stereo portable columns: budget up to 5000 rubles.

Stereokolones, as a rule, give more sound power than mono. They have more capacious batteries. But it affects portability. Dimensions of such devices are greater, because You must accommodate 2 speakers at once. But there should be no surround sound from such devices. Although sound is coming In 2 channels, the speakers are close to each other and secured in a compact package.

5 Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth Speaker

The next representative of Xiaomi does not apply to the number of top episodes among the entire product line, but is actively in demand as a source of "high-quality freebies". Bluetooth Speaker. - This is a good seasonal stereo column, designed for lovers of protracted walks for musical compositions, cyclists and active people in all their diversity.

But with the arrival of cold pore, the model is revealed not from the best side. The fact is that many competent surveyors bypass the party are completely unable the columns are negative temperatures, although such a precedent is present in this model. The batteries begin to collect and lose charge, because of what the shutdown overtakes the "Speaker" after a couple of minutes. Against the background of prices, this promach developers does not look the best way, but the situation is saved at the expense of an acceptable sound, the design study (A la Apple) and high reliability in normal climatic conditions.

Despite the fact that the Bluetooth technique of the TRONSMART brand appeared only in 2017, there was a lot of noise in the literal and figurative sense. From a small range of columns and headphones, buyers are best "entered" Element T6, in which the impressive appearance has successfully connected, quite affordable price And clean sound. The column is made in an interesting form factor, someone resembling a thermos. The cylindrical shape (height is 22 cm, diameter 7 cm) was very practical because it does not require a lot of space to accommodate on the ever-loaded desktop. It looks very impressive as a column in red.

No need to embarrass youth brand. He approached his own development with all the responsibility - which is only worth a reputation 99.3 on the famous Marketplayer and its own Russian-speaking site. And in 2018, Luis Suarez himself became the face of TRONSMART, "Barcelona" football player. Not every manufacturer will allow themselves to cooperate with the stars of this level. Noteworthy and sound column. The audiophiles of its possibilities will be not enough, but it is impeccable as portable music or in the garage. The volume is abused, the average bass - good, plays 50% of the power of 14 hours. And the speakers are placed in a circle, and therefore, in a large cheerful company, anyone will not be boring.

The first thing is surprising "Rhombic BT-28" of his buyer - the size of the box and the column itself. In the photo it looks much more compact.

The inexpensive and powerful device from the domestic brand Sven became a kind of reason for pride and faith in Russian production.

Rating (2019): 4.8

We did not have time for the connoisseurs of good Bluetooth music to acquire technique from the JBL series of the Flip of the 3rd generation, as the company presented the 4th. Externally, they practically do not differ, and the problem of weak bass due to the installation of lateral bass emitters is also well solved. Global improvements touched the sound range: Flip-3, it was 85Hz-20kHz, and Flip-4 - 70Hz-20kHz. Users rated the sound of novelties as "credit" and "perfectly drawn throughout the spectrum." When listening to complex musical compositions, you can disassemble where which tool plays, and with increasing volume, the balance of frequencies is not distorted.

From the older model Charge 3 "flip" is favorably with dimensions: it is so I want to throw a backpack in my pocket, and then in the bicycle bottle and smear somewhere on the active rest. It is important that in the way or in training, you can not worry about the integrity of the device - it is not afraid of a shower (IPX7 waterfront) or falling from a small height. What else is important to know about this column: she has increased duration autonomous work From 10 to 12-16 hours, you can terminate up to 100 (!) devices, if you wish, you can listen to audio files from several sources in turn. Cons with a big desire, too, will be departed: someone does not like that "flips" cannot be used as Power banks, and someone lacks a flash card slot.

Basa, as it often happens in cheap devices, they do not sleep at maximum volume, the tops also remain saturated, so that your favorite musical compositions can be listened with true pleasure even in the busiest company.

Among the advantages of the device should be noted good ergonomics and thoughtful interface. The manufacturer takes care of the backlight of the control keys, sufficient connectors (USB, microUSB, memory card slot, AUX), the LED indication of the battery status. For the resistance of the column on any horizontal surface, it added a rubberized ledge - a trifle, and nicely.

However, to enjoy really good sound, It is necessary to make a very scrupulous to choose. Hurry to simplify your life a little: we found the best portable columns in different price categories - there is an option for pickyled music alternation, and for simple userWho wants for little money to obtain acceptable sound quality and not go into a lot of nuances.

Let's start with basic information. If you are a specialist in the sphere of acoustic systems, you can skip this section. We prepared brief program for those who first encountered a portable column selection And does not know how to find a really high-quality model.

When choosing, pay attention to such parameters:

• system power directly affects the volume. The most compact columns have a power of about 3-5 W, a more model - 15-20 W and more. It is worth understanding that the closer the volume to the maximum, the more distortion in sound;
• number of strips. Each column band is responsible for playing certain frequencies and combinations thereof. The more strips, the more clear and natural will be the sound. The cheapest and most common option - single-band columnsEquipped with only one universal speaker. Two-band columns Have two speakers: high and low-frequency. It is also fairly common models. Less often meet three-band columnswhich include the mid-frequency speaker;
• range of reproducible frequency. Everything is simple here: the wider range, the more believable there will be a sound. The minimum frequency in portable acoustics is 20-500 HzMaximum - 10,000-50000 Hz;
• sound format, or number of channels. there is monosystems (1.0), they reproduce music in one channel. The bass in them are not particularly pronounced, the format goes into the past, but still used in low-cost compact columns, and even from eminent manufacturers. Stereo systems (2.0) give a more voluminous sound, differ in high power and volume . Systems 2.1differ from 2.0 the presence of a separate low-frequency speaker ( subwoofer), It gives a more rich and dense sound. The power of the subwoofer ranges from 1 to 150 W;
  
• signal / noise ratio - Another indicator of how high-quality sound from the column will be. The higher the value of this indicator, the better. In most columns, it is 45-100 dB. Many little-known manufacturers often indicate not entirely correct values, but data that declare large companies, can trust;
• technologies wireless connection . We received the greatest distribution Bluetooth- Solonki.. They are easily conjured with tablets and smartphones. It is advisable to take a column that works with the standard Bluetooth 4.0.: Energy consumption will be minimal, and this for portable speakers on the batteries is very important. Data compression When transmitted via Bluetooth is carried out by the APTX codec, it allows you to give the sound of CD quality. Some players support work with APTX HD - quality sound, clarity and volume will be several times higher, but it is important that the smartphone or tablet also supported the work with these codec. To simplify Bluetooth connection, in some columns can be used technologyNFC.: It is clear that the smartphone should also support it. Music maybe transferred to bothWi– FiThe connection range depends on the power of the network routers. Separately, it is worth noting technology Airplayused in devices from Apple. It allows you to transmit an excellent surround sound on the column, which is achieved through the use of branded codecs that transmit music almost without loss of quality. In expensive columns, several wireless connection options can be implemented;
• other music sources. The column can reproduce music not only with a conjugated smartphone. In most models there are memory Card Slot, in more advanced - USB-Lone for reading flash drives and external hard drives. Another option - connection to the smartphone column inAUX-portbut at the same time wireless device Already be called. Some columns can be connected to computers and TVs, but they are extremely rare with such purposes;
• autonomy. Most portable columns feed on their own rechargeable batteries - power-powered models from Aa batteries. Manufacturers indicate the battery capacity and battery life. The latter is often measured not at the maximum volume, have this in mind. Good result for wireless columns - 10-15 hours Autonomous work and more. Recharged columns through microusbot sockets, laptop or external battery;
• control It is carried out using a conjugate smartphone or buttons on the column itself. In some models, a screen is provided for convenience;
• weight. Good acoustics I can not weigh a little, but I don't want to take a heavy column with you, so the choice of a portable column is always a complicity complicity and sound quality compromise. If you plan to take music with you on a run or cyclerogulk, then pay attention to more miniature models. If the first place comes out, then take the column weighing from 500 g;
• additional functions. These include radio, equalizer For more accurate sound tuning, alarm clock, remote control, backlight, and also speaker (This is a built-in microphone that allows you to loud to contact the entire company of friends). Some columns are obtained protection against moisture and dust - It is important if you take a device with you to the active rest. Some speakers work also as power bank., chargeing other gadgets. There are models equipped with wireless charging and even solar batteries;
• manufacturers. Among the mostst JBL, Sony, Beats, as well as Sven and Xiaomi.

Accounting is also needed goals use. For example, a simple single-band mono or stereo system is suitable for noisy parties in nature: the purity of the sound will not be fully assessed. Pay attention to protected and quite autonomous columns. For travelers there are compact models, the size of the palm. They get special fastenings, often have protection against water, but the maximum volume level is very limited - however, when the column is located near other and is not required. For cyclists there are speakers with special fasteners. For home use, you can take both a compact and fairly large model with high quality sound, it becomes important here design.

Sound perception is an individual thing. It is better to highlight for yourself a couple of models and listen to their sound live, just so you can make the right choice. We offer you a few of the best wireless columns, which exactly should pay attention to when choosing.

Top Portable Speakers 2017/2018

JBL Flip 4.

According to the price / quality ratio it's about bottom of the best portable columns at the moment.JBL Flip. 4 came on shift JBL Flip 3, True sales. The manufacturer declares that it was able to make an even more perfect device and, studying dry technical characteristics, start to believe him. When I listen to the sound of the speaker, live, no doubt remains - everything is done great. The company says that new model It sounds 20% better than the previous one: it is not known exactly how they measured this percentage, but the sound is very very good, and the bass juicy.

Among other things, the model has received higher autonomy and elevated defense levelIPX7 - Now the product is not afraid of diving into the water. The column matches with gadgets via Bluetooth, has a MINI Jack connector for wired connection and multiple control buttons. Among bonuses - built-in microphone And the ability to connect about hundreds of columns into one system thanks to JBL Connect +. A variety of colors widest. Cons find difficult.

JBL Go.

Kopania JBL is famous for the quality of its portable acoustics, even if it comes to so budget versions. This is one of the most compact and inexpensive wireless columns On the market. She has a good range and a signal / noise ratio, and the minimum dimensions allow you to take a model anywhere. There is a mount for the strap.

The model is produced in seven colors, has a very simple control. On the end there are buttons not only for adjusting the volume, but also to answer the challenge - it's great that they have not forgotten about such an opportunity and made a speaker for a conversation.

Music column reproduces when connecting a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth, or after 3.5 mm connector. The sound of this "kid" is amazing good: Clean, loud, with bass. It's not necessary for what, especially if you consider the size and price of this acoustics.

Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth Speaker

What scope of activities today does without Xiaomi? The company has well shown itself in the production of portable acoustics. Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth Speaker is the most expensive column in the company's assortment. Sounds surprisingly, given the price policy of competitors, but there is no trick. The column is almost completely made of aluminumIt looks stylish, presented in the mass of colors. To the smartphone, the model is connected via Bluetooth, it is possible to read audio files with microSd memory cards, there was no 3.5 mm exit. There is a microphone for receiving calls, but its quality is not the highest. Management is implemented very convenient, there is a light indicator that reports the battery charge.

As for the sound, everything is on the level. The company paid special attention to low and medium frequencies, in some melodies the column begins to even vibrate, which, in principle, is only good. With the upper frequencies, everything is slightly worse, but overall sound for a compact model for $ 40 more than acceptable. This is an excellent model for those who are not used to listening to each note and pickily evaluate everything to the smallest detail.

Sony SRS-XB20

Powerful column S. water protection according to standardIP.X5. Fish model - lED backlight on the contour of the devicewhich blinks and overflow when playing music. The sound quality is not bad, picky music lovers may find fault with the processing of the lower pass, but on medium losses all melodies sound perfectly. Another feature of the column is support NFC.Therefore, to match it with a smartphone will be easier. Among other things built-in microphone and Mini Jack connector.

If you want to sound better and highlighting items, you can look aside XB30 and XB40.But they are more expensive.

JBL Charge 3.

Real beast! One of the best portable columns of modernity. Powerful, with quite autonomy and waterproof corps. Design and ergonomics The manufacturer thought out to the smallest detail. There is a built-in microphone to answer a challenge, it is also possible to combine the column with others to one coordinate system. The model received water protection according to standardIPX7 , withstands temporary immersion under the water, and the rain and splashes are generally nipple. Batteries by 6000 mAh grabs on a record 20 hours of music playback - this is a stunning result for portable acoustics. With such indicators it is not surprising that the column can charge other gadgets, speaking in the rollery of an external battery. Another pleasant opportunity - availability speakerfone.

As for the main, sound quality, then everything is expected to be fine: powerful speakers with a good range of reproducible frequencies, two passive emitters and very, very clean sound. Nothing to do something. Naturally, all this set of advantages is more expensive than compact "road" columns.

Xiaomi Square Box Cube

The manufacturer does not specify the range of reproducible frequencies and the signal / noise ratio, but those who heard the sound of this column say that it gives a really good sound. The volume is average, but it is inevitable at such power and sizes of the column. At high volume, it begins a little hoarse, on average volume the sound is happy, and this is at a price! The control button is only one, the battery at 1200 mAh holds steadfast and allows you to listen to music up to 10 hours. The model received the module NFC., Passive subwoofer, but does not have a MINI JACK connector. In general, according to the price / quality ratio, this is a very good offer.

JBL Clip 2.

Compact wireless column. The presence of special fastening makes it easy to connect a gadget to a backpack or a bike. The model received waterproof housing, Built-in microphone and mini jack connector. Sound quality and autonomy, as for such a baby, at height. Add here ease of management, high-quality assembly, cute design and really powerful sound, and we get a good portable column that can be taken with you anywhere.

Still there is still JBL CLIP 2 Special Edition. The column is distinguished by the original design, by the rest of the parameters the same.

Marshall Kilburn.

This device for those who can estimate the purity of sound and prefers only the highest quality acoustics, even in its portable execution. However, with this weighing it can be taken with him except in the trunk of the car. It is suitable for home use. Let's not list a bunch of epithets - just say that sound this column gives perfectIt is easy to understand even dry technical characteristics. The user can self adjust low and high frequenciesAnd the connection of the music source goes through Bluetooth and Mini Jack. Design is also excellent.

HARMAN / KARDON GO + PLAY MINI

Another beast passed through our review. He is expensive, heavy, but sounds great. The volume of the volume here is hardly the highest in the class of portable speakersAnd at the maximum sound remains clean and high-quality. Design, control, assembly - everything is height. Autonomy, however, drove up, but with such characteristics it is difficult to expect another, but there is a possibility of power from the network.

Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth SPEAKER MINI

it the cheapest and lightweight wireless columnAt least in our review. The manufacturer provided it with a minimum set of necessary functions, put just a ridiculous price and was successful. The column design is good, it sounds fine on average volume: from the device for 15 $ we clearly do not expect decent results, but this model is pleasantly surprising. Small wheezing appear only on high volume, but in the room such a loud sound is unnecessary, and in nature - wheezing are invisible. From the bonuses there is only a built-in microphone, a connection to the music carrier is carried out only by Bluetooth.

SAMSUNG LEVEL BOX SLIM

Samsung also released its portable speaker version. It is easy to manage it, and compact dimensions allow you to take it with yourself anywhere. Moreover, the model received protection against moisture according to the standardIP.X7 and solid battery. The only thing, we could not find the range of reproducible frequencies, so it remains to trust the opinions of users, which sounds not bad. Among bonuses the ability to charge other gadgets from the column.Minus is the lack of a wired connection that at a price, at least, hurt. Otherwise, everything is fine.

Supra PAS-6277

One of the best portable columns in its price segment, and certainly the most functional one. This "kid" gives maximum volume at 77 dBhas built-in flashlight, radiomay play music from a memory card, there is a headphone output. The model received even a fastening for a bike. The quality of the sound, of course, is not the most ideal, but for portable acoustics - more than acceptable, and if you consider the price - so generally excellent. Users complain about untouched voice tips and small lantern power.

When choosing a portable column, the expression "Keep Egor Egor" as never relevant. The recipe is simple: listening in the store suitable for the price of the product, turn on different power, and if you liked something - you want to save - come home and order via the Internet.

The manufacturer can put the firm "five" for thoughtful ergonomics: about what, but about the convenience of the user took care.

There is a model and one more indisputable dignity - this is the price! The starting cost of the column did not exceed 3000 rubles, which makes the model of the budget itself in our top.

To please the music lovers with such an inexpensive boombox, the manufacturer had to abandon some fashion options: the interface was quite modest, there is only a Bluetooth and a 3.5 mm-jack connector.

What do you pay attention to when and save me, and high-quality background music to listen? Of course, GO 2 from JBL is one of the best wireless acoustic for home or dressers in nature.

This gadget is exactly what most people mean, calling pocket. The size of the housing is only 71.2x86x31.6 mm. You can put in my pocket, and put on the back of the sofa, and on the side of the pool - GO 2 will be convenient everywhere. Especially since the manufacturer provided the body by the waterfront according to the IPX7 standard: to lie next to the water-made machine can, but it is better not to lower it to the water.

The device is clearly designed for young people: a wide selection of colors (and most shades are bright and colorful), an excellent volume of volume. Two 40mm dynamics are designed for the entire frequency spectrum, but in practice the top and medium sounds best.

Among the functions of this model, it is worth noting the opportunity to respond to calls entering a synchronized smartphone.

In the compact gadget there is a noise reduction microphone, so that voice recording does not give up a telephone recorder.

This toddler works only 5 hours without recharging - for a part party away from the outlet of this time quite enough, and within the apartment or at home you can connect to the power grid. Playback quality during battery charging does not break any way.

8.5 Evaluation

• Compact sizes
• Large selection of colors
• Increased frequency range
• Clean battery

• Lack details at high and medium frequencies

JBL Flip 4 near his colleague and took the sixth place in the portable speaker ranking. Stylish gadget also received a large selection of colors: users are not just a standard range, but also periodic limited collections with a patterned cloth covering the housing.

Boombox in bright design created for the same bright and fun Melomanov: the model is as if created for parties.

1. First, it is easy to take with you and you can accommodate anywhere - a neat thin strap allows you to even hang the gadget on the tree branch or any hook.
2. Secondly, the focus on bass gives the opportunity to listen to dance tracks, the music of the genres of electro or house.

However, high frequencies do not stop, so that the manufacturer's lyrical compositions managed to find an approach.

Specially for users was improved by the proprietary application. As before, it allows you to fully control the operation of the gadget - switch the song, change the volume. But now two Flip 4 boombox can be combined into a single stereo system for better sound. While the speakers are combined by the user can even take a call - there is a microphone here.

In this mode at maximum volume, the device runs up to 10 hours. And not only the electrical outlet, but also modern PowerBank is suitable for charging.

8.6 Evaluation

• The presence of LED backlight
• Almost day work without recharging
• Ability to connect via NFC

• Pretty big weight
• Weak microphone

Stylish and powerful model from Sony collected several new technologies and cool chips, for which he fell into this top. And it is not surprising, because the XB41 model has become the flagship in the updated line of 2019.

The sound quality is still quite high. The range of supported frequencies was increased - now the minimum is 20 Hz. And it affected the playback of music.

Basin literally "swing" - even the column slightly vibrates.

Unfortunately, they also overlap medium and, especially, high frequencies.

Well, it is worth a recognition that the winner of the fifth place in the ranking is unlikely to scrub the working time with light lounge music, but perfectly fit into the atmosphere of the party. This contributes to the built-in backlight. The speakers are decorated with LEDs that may simply burn, and they can "blink" in the tact of music or react to touch through the case.

What about autonomous work? The built-in battery allows the gadget to work up to 20 hours - and this is more than enough for the most protracted party. If you use a Bluetooth connection to your smartphone or tablet, use the backlight of the device and unscrew the volume to the maximum, then the battery charge is enough for 10 hours.

8.6 Evaluation

• Excellent autonomy
• Waterproofing IPX 7 Standard
• Availability of built-in microphone
• Chain textile surface
• Possibility of charging other devices in the chalk

• Mediocre sound when connected via Bluetooth
• An involuntary activation is possible
• Too rigid plug on the bottom side of the case

What is JBL Charge 3? This is all the same stylish and thoughtful design, but already improved productivity and a couple of new technologies. The novelty received comfortable housing in the form of a barrel. Plastic and silicone were used - the materials of the already reliable, and, together with the water-refrigerant IPX7 standard, almost unhappy. The dimensions are ideal for carrying in hand, bag or deep pocket.

The main changes focused inside: two broadband dynamics together with two passive emitters have a power of 10 W allow listening to music of any genres - from the most severe rock and roll to gentle romantic compositions. Especially since the frequency range is quite wide - from 65 Hz to the classic 20000 Hz.

Thanks to such technical specifications, the sound that CHARGE 3 offers, has become more even and balanced.

A good sound allows you to listen to music at once from several columns, as in an advanced stereo system. For this, there is an application JBL Connect +. By the way, unlike other JBL gadgets located in the rating at lower positions, this hero supports the union into a single system and new, and old models.

It seems that with such good opportunities should not expect long autonomy. But developers and here managed to surprise their fans.

Inside available lithium-ion battery 6000 mAh. So the user can safely count on 15-20 hours listening to high volume music.

7.7 Evaluation

• Reliable case materials
• Not bad battery life
• Nonlinear Volume Switching
• "Clear sound

• No slot under memory card
• No water protection

This model is unlikely to want to carry on the beach or on a street party - it is extremely expensive and presentably looks like LoftSound GZ-44. The housing is made of a combination of metal, genuine leather.

Ergonomics - above all praise! For the convenience of the user, the manufacturer provided a column with a strap, which is easy to remove if necessary. Convenient buttons make it easy to control the operation of the device.

What is interesting, the speakers have a classic diameter, but the column itself is slightly slightly exceeds the iPhone.

GZ-44 allows you to listen to music of any genres and on any volume. The device is equally well coping with the classics where it is necessary to detail the set separate tools, and with modern rhythms, in which only bass is often important.

It did not disappoint and the built-in microphone - if the synchronized smartphone is far away, then using the column you can quickly answer the incoming call.

Perhaps the only disadvantage of the device is not the largest work time without recharging. At maximum volume, the battery is discharged in 5 hours. But for the sake of fairness it is worth saying that at the maximum volume, listen to music in an apartment or office is unlikely to have - enough and 50%. Otherwise, problems may arise with dissatisfied neighbors.

8.5 Evaluation

• Cool design from the 70s
• Wide range adjustment
• Pairing with a smartphone via Bluetooth
