This is an outdoor Bluetooth speaker that is water resistant. It is model number BX-400 which is also the code you search for on your device to pair it with. Upon ordering this unit it came with the speaker, D-ring, USB to micro USB charging cable, 3.5mm male ends jack, and an instructions manual.
The sound quality of this speaker is very good. It does not create an very loud sound but it is very clear. The speaker hits all 3 ranges tweet, mid, and bass. The bass is a little lacking as with most of the mini Bluetooth speakers. However it is present and can be heard clearly, but it is not a driving bass. The volume control on the speaker can be a pain until you figure it out. You have to press and hold the volume button and then after a second it will start adjusting. If you press the buttons quickly all it does is change the track you are listening too. The speaker at full volume did not have any distortion, it remained crisp and clear through out testing it on country, R&B, hip hop, and rock music.
The speaker is very simple to use. At the top there is a silicone flap covering the ports for the charging cable, 3.5mm jack slot, SD card slot, and the on/off switch. This speaker allowing direct connect to an aux port with the 3.5mm jack slot can be used in your car or any other stereo that takes this type of jack. Next is the charging port, this is your typical micro USB port for charging. I was able to charge the speaker from my desktop, 110w to USB wall charger, and laptop. I could get it to show charging with my portable back up battery charger and light socket in the car but it would take forever to get the speaker charged. The charging of this unit takes about 4 hours when plugged into a wall socket and about 5 attached to a desktop or laptop. A full charge on this speaker will make it where you can play the speaker for about 6 hours before needing to recharge. While it is plugged in and charging there is a red light on the unit that signals that it is not complete on charging.
Now for the pairing. There is a voice that tells you in a full sentence that it is ready for pairing and when it is paired. I was able to pair it to 3 different cell phones, 2 different tablets, and my laptop. Each device found the speaker in seconds. Then I clicked to pair the device and it took longer for the woman to say it was paired then it took to pair the devices. Once it is paired and the power is turned on there is a blue light on the front of the speaker.
Lastly it comes with a D-clip. This is a simple clip that attaches to the back of the unit. This makes it where you can hang it in the air if you need. The speaker is also water resistant which means it can take some splashing and sprinkles but do not put in a tub of water. Over all the quality of this speaker is very good. It is easy to set up, pair, charge, and great for outdoors. If you are looking for a quality sounding Bluetooth speaker this one will certainly meet you needs. I would like to thank DBPOWER and affiliates for sending me this speaker to try out and share my opinion.
