It seems really difficult finding the right mini Speaker to boost your lame sounding Electronic gadget. The shelves are full of them in all different shapes and sizes. Do you opt for a large Boom Bar type arrangement, a Bass Box affair or do you just want something small and portable?
You can stand there all day in the Supermarket fumbling about or you could just purchase one (or even two) or these little beauties and you won't be disappointed.
DONT be fooled be its weedy little size, looks are deceptive. As with a lot of mainstream budget Speakers you only get the one Speaker Driver but the Music Angel Friendz has two! one at either end neatly covered by a grille.
Battery life on this item is INCREDIBLE!! The Music Angel website boasts of up to 150 hours play from a full charge and so far they have kept to their word. The test model has yet to run down from its initial charge despite countless hours of play at varying volume levels.
This Speaker surely has the best Battery life compared to ANY competitor at the moment.
The Music Angel Friendz is not Bluetooth so is connected via a flat line audio cable which comes in the box. Also included is a standard USB micro cable for charging.
Charging only takes a couple of hours. The Speaker shines a Blue LED when charging is taking place, a Red LED when almost dead and Purple when charging and power is on.
This little LED light show is a nice touch to an already nicely constructed device. It looks particularly nice at night.
Sound quality is very clear and precise although lacking of any depth of Bass.
The Trebles here are perfect and the mid range tones are equally brilliant especially when listening to a top quality BBC Podcast.
The Bass does suffer though and not surprising considering the size of the two Drivers inside. You have to ask yourself if its big Speaker big Bass or just small and portable you are looking for?
Build quality on the Music Angel is very good. The outer case is made from Aluminium with Steel grilles at each end. The switches are plastic but of good quality. Everything feels quality with no rough edges.
Featured on this device is the ability to connect to other Music Angel Speakers via a second input/output port on the rear of the unit.
The result of daisy chaining two of these units is that the overall sound is so much louder!. This could definitely be an advantage for parties and get together with friends. The sound from just one unit fills a room on it own but connecting two really boosts everything! Presumably you can connect as many of these together as you wish?
Overall, this is a fantastic little Speaker and well worth the budget price. The Battery life, well built design and superb sound quality make this one of the best in its class if not THE best. If you can live without thumping Bass then this Speaker is for you.
