Auvio Expandable Bluetooth Speaker
Portable speakers are so convenient, but wireless Bluetooth speakers are even better! I wanted to get this speaker for my husband to review. He is always on the go and I thought a portable speaker for his iPhone would come in handy. I know basically nothing about Bluetooth and even less about iPhones, so here’s what he had to say about the Auvio Expanding Bluetooth Speaker:
This speaker works great! Good for when you need music but don’t have speakers available or can’t plug in.
It was really easy to set up the Bluetooth function & I had music going quickly. When the Bluetooth is searching, a little light on the speaker flashes red and blue. When it has made a connection, it lights up only blue with no blinking. The wireless Bluetooth function works well within about 10-12 feet. I can adjust sound, change songs, etc. all from my iPhone 4S. It did start to skip a little if I got too far away from the speaker, but most of the time I’m within a few feet of it, so it’s not an issue.
The volume is great…much louder than I expected. It works much better than the desktop speakers we have for our computer. I’m really impressed! The “expandable” feature refers to how it can expand to enhance the sound. I didn’t see a huge difference, but it does sound a bit better with the speaker “open/expanded”. The speaker works with it either expanded or not.
The speaker is about the size and weight of an apple, so it makes it easy to pack in a bag or purse. You can take this speaker just about anyplace. I look forward to trying it outdoors next summer. It would be perfect for picnics, the park or a lake.
The only issue I found was when I plugged it into our home computer, there was some static while moving the speaker around. Once it was set, it sounded great. I have no other complaints & I highly recommend this speaker.
