Paying $40 for the shape, $10 for the sound
|
Getting it out of the way: the tiny cube form factor is cool. For what I wanted it for - a bedside speaker for audiobooks, it's just right. It's unobtrusive, unassuming.
That said, the sound quality is fairly poor. It's quite dead below 90Hz, making deep male voices sound somewhat muted. Females sound fine. Music is unpleasant. The grill is also a thin and cheap plastic mesh that resonates at some medium-high frequency that female voices hit pretty often, but only at higher volume levels.
The unit is also lightweight enough that it's easy to drag it around just by moving the cable, so you'll find yourself repositioning it constantly. This design really needed a weighted base.
Basically, it's identical to cheap $10 PC speakers, though it has a really nice profile. Don't confuse this with Yamaha's mainstream audio gear, which is generally superb.
Also of note - the included 1/8" cable for hooking this up to an iPod or similar is short, only about a foot long. Be sure to pick up an extra cable if you don't mean to use the device right next to the speaker. |
