This Bluetooth speaker is meticulously engineered for both home use and outdoor activities, emphasizing convenience in portability, extended battery life, and intelligent interaction, thus enabling users to enjoy an immersive and high-quality auditory experience anytime and anywhere.
The device's compact design not only facilitates ease of transport but also allows for both horizontal and vertical placement to accommodate various environmental needs. Upon activation and deactivation, the dynamic lighting effects from the integrated light strip contribute to a highly engaging interactive experience, thereby enhancing the intelligent interaction between the user and the speaker. Additionally, to better harmonize with outdoor settings, the design draws inspiration from vintage speakers while aligning with contemporary minimalist aesthetics through the use of sleek geometric lines and a vibrant, bold, contrasting colour palette. This combination creates a striking visual balance between rugged durability and avant-garde fashion.
Furthermore, the speaker boasts an IP67 rating for dust and waterproof capabilities, ensuring reliable performance in various outdoor conditions. The Eco Mode, which implements intelligent energy management, allows for an impressive battery life of up to 28 hours without the need for frequent recharging, thereby ensuring uninterrupted music enjoyment for users.
Utilizing Dynamore surround sound technology, the speaker significantly broadens the sound field, providing users with a three-dimensional listening experience. Coupled with AI equalizer technology, sound quality is automatically optimized based on the speaker's placement, delivering a more natural and seamless auditory effect. Additionally, the inclusion of two aluminium full-range drivers and a passive bass radiator further enhances the immersive experience.
