Choiix Boom Boom Speaker Review
Impressions
People say that good things come in small packages and at only 1.2cm or just under half an inch thick, the Boom Boom Speaker definitely is very compact. For how well it plays, I am always amazed at how easily I am able to slide it into a pocket and carry it around. Being powered by USB meant that when I’m on the go, I had to also carry another small device with me, the Power Fort. For those of you who read my review of it, you will understand how very useful it really is. In addition, it is the perfect mobile companion for the Boom Boom Speaker as it delivers hours of power.
This product is great for everyone of all ages and all musical preferences. The full range sound is crisp and clear. The mid-range and high-end frequencies are flawless. The lower frequencies offer more of a challenge because although the speaker attempts to give you a little bass, it was not really designed to do so. This attempt results in low-mid frequencies, the kind of bass you can hear but not feel. Although this Boom Boom Speaker is lacking in bass due to its small size, it is ideal for vocals or music that does not need a sub.
The Boom Boom Speaker will connect to any device supporting a 3.5mm jack. This means that you can also use it on portable DVD players, netbooks and laptops. In the case of netbooks and laptops (or even desktops for that matter), powering the speaker is a little easier because you can simply use any of the USB ports.
Experience
I have had several great moments with this device, aside from just testing purposes. My friends were already astounded by me charging my small gadgets with the Power Fort but the Boom Boom took the cake. As a test, without them knowing what I had up my sleeve, I whipped out both devices and hooked them up to my smartphone and started playing some music. The next thing I knew, out came the drinks and we ended up having a mini-party and lots of fun.
In another instance I was able to listen to some cool tunes from an MP3 player while laying on the beach one lazy day. There is hardly anything better than taking your music wherever you go and being able to play it with such clarity. So much so, that the Boom Boom Speaker draws worthy attention to itself. After turning my mother into a smartphone user as well, I have noticed that even she enjoyed using the speaker to play her favourite songs!
The experience with this device has definitely been a good one. I have made many friends jealous and wanting their own but most importantly I have proven that anyone buying this product, will be getting a great value for money.
