neocore A1 Portable Wireless Bluetooth 5.3 Speaker, 24h+ battery, SD Card, AUX, Stereo with Subwoofer for iPhone, Android

On powering the speaker it paired quickly and easily with my iPhone13. When I first played some music I was disappointed with the sound quality however after a few hours use the sound is now very good for such a small unit. Vocals are very clear and it has a surprising amount of bass to give a decent overall sound quality. It’s also loud enough for an average sized room, it’s the ideal speaker to take away on holiday or on a picnic or day trip. It charges quite quickly and the battery seems to last for ages although I haven’t done a full charge-to-empty test as yet. Bear in mind that this is quite a small speaker and not a lot of money but it’s definitely good value. The design of the unit is very pleasing with a modern, sharp looking cabinet with a hard rubberised shell finish. On the top there are four press pads for power, source, vol+ and vol-, there is a useful hook on the left side to attach the supplied carabiner which can be used to hook the speaker onto your rucksack or to suspend the speaker during playback. Also supplied is a funky orange USB charging cable and a mini jack cable for aux input. The ports are located under a flap on the rear panel to give a degree of water protection. So to sum up, the Neocore Wave is a great little speaker for the money, I might buy another to make stereo pair. By the way, I changed the Spotify EQ to Small Speaker.

This speaker is amazing! - So far. I've only been using it for the past day or so and it is undoubtedly the best of the three I've tried in the last month. The speaker is very sturdy with a kind of rubberised base for stability and grip (and bass isolation. there's no rattling!) - It's Bluetooth 4.2 and this does make a difference in terms of speed, reliability and ease of connection - a lot of the cheap Bluetooth speakers on the market use very old BT technology). It's quite large (compared to some) and obviously this benefits the the speaker acoustics as the 'cabinet' itself produces a rich & deeply satisfying sound, whilst retaining clarity - I used it yesterday in a roomful of students doing a Listening Exam and they were very complimentary. The size also allows a bigger rechargeable battery to be fitted, so more time between charges and/or more volume when it's required. The manual is clear, simple and sufficient - connecting to my laptop / tablet / mobile phone was as easy as Bluetooth is supposed to be! There is a 2-year warranty, a useful website and a dedicated page to request a repair so the aftersales support seems to be there if needed! Included in the box were a pretty decent USB cable, a 3.5mm > 3.5mm aux/Line-in cable and even a Carabiner to hang the speaker in a tent or somewhere outside (its IPX6 'waterproof' - so according to the manual - 3-5 minutes water flushing is OK - but don't soak) I'll keep this review up to date if things change *I bought mine from MangoMobile (via Amazon) and they are an excellent seller! - the speaker arrived on-time, well packaged and they sent me a courtesy email with instructions to 'reach out' if I'm dissatisfied. Amazing product too ... :)

I bought this particular speaker for a specific purpose and so my review will reflect that quite heavily, though I will try and give an over all view as well. In the box you get the speaker, a 3.5mm cable and a micro USB cable with a regular USB on the other side. It also comes with a Carabiner clasp which you can fit to the right side of the speaker to hang it if you want to. The Neocore Wave A1 has a rubberised texture everywhere except the front and back which has a metal grill. It feels nice to pick up and given it's small size is nice to hold and carry around. There is a rubberised section on the back which lifts up and reveals the Auxiliary input, the charging port and the slot for the Micro SD card. It's easy to move the flap and use those inputs but I am not sure how stable the join is on the side that doesn't come away. Still it feels strong enough so let's hope it remains that way. The buttons for the speaker are on the top. It has four, Minus, Plus, Mode and Power. They don't stick up and are flush with the top of the speaker. You have to press the tactile symbols and that does produce a satisfying click when you manage it. The mode button allows for switching through the various modes the speaker has to offer. Pressing Minus and Plus will change the volume whilst holding them down will switch tracks. Connecting via bluetooth was quick and very easy. The speaker tells you when it is ready for connecting and when it is connected. So the sound of this speaker given the price is actually really nice. I was very surprised by how nice it sounds. It has a clean crisp sound without sounding tinny. It does have some base but I don't think the base over powers the over all sound so it never sounds muddy. I didn't do allot of testing with the bluetooth but what I did test sounded very nice and as I said above, very surprising. I don't think I will be the only one to be surprised at how well this little thing sounds. I bought it for the ability it has hidden in the back. That ability is it's ability to be able to play from an SD card. I use this as an audio book player and am so pleased with it's performance in this area. You don't want to begin an audio book and then turn off your book to find out it's lost it's place, thankfully this speaker picks up right where it left off, actually it goes back a couple of seconds which is even better. It works really nicely on quieter recordings. Most audio books I have are very quiet recordings and other speakers I have had distort if those recordings get to a certain volume. This one so far hasn't distorted once. It has a reported twenty four hour battery life, of course volume and usage will effect this but I have used it for a good while now and I still haven't needed to charge it. I don't know if it will last the twenty four hours but it will certainly last a good long time. The price of this speaker is astonishing considering how much it does and the really nice battery life. It's not cheaply made and may give some slightly more expensive speakers a run for their money. I really do think it's a very nice speaker. It is not perfect however and I will discuss the two main drawbacks I have with it hear. First off are the buttons. I am not a fan of the recessed buttons. Would have preferred if they stuck up a bit so you can be very sure you know which button you are pressing. Though the symbols are helpful I would have liked better buttons. The second is the reporting of the battery life. I was told by a very helpful Amazon user that the speaker flashes red when the battery is low. I am visually impaired and My vision is certainly not good enough to see that. It would have been nice for it to report the battery life audibly when ever one would turn on the speaker. Of course if you connect a device to it via bluetooth it will show the battery life on there which is fair enough, but for me who doesn't use the bluetooth mode it's just a little disappointing. I did contact Neocore about this and they were very friendly but in the end they said it couldn't be fixed through a firmware update either. So if I want to know what the battery life is then I have to connect it to my phone, not difficult, just another extra step. You really can't go far wrong with a speaker given it's price and I do believe it punches above it's weight. Give it a go because like me you might be very surprised at how good it sounds.

Prima ding, enige punt van discussie is het hoge bereik, dat zou wat zuiverder kunnen.

Un son clair ...des basses puissantes meme en exterieur... On peut retrouver les pistes preférées avec le bouton plus et moins... appuyés longuement... et il a un emplacement de carte MICRO SD 256 K... Il s’appaire tres facilement...en BT ! ideal pour ecouter les livres audible dehors...et ameliorer le son de n'importe quel appareil portable de base ! Ne prends pas beaucoup de place... Ideal aussi pour bien entendre WASE en voiture....et peut s'accrocher a la tablette avec son mousqueton la batterie tiens longtemps ... En plus il est esthetique ..j'adore le blanc ... pas salissant du tout contrairement a ce que disent certains... Du coup g acheté aussi un noir .... Avec deception g constaté que le prix etait passé de 17 E a 22 E ...en quinze jours ... la rançon de la gloire ou le vendeur qui doit changer de voiture ?! Mais toujours bon rapport qualité prix ! Je n'en connais pas de HP meilleur equivalent !

Für die große guter Klang und Akku hält wie versprochen bei mittlerer und oberer Lautstärke ca 8 - 12 Std

Tengo uno hace casi un año. Está como el primer día, la batería dura muchas horas, muy buena calidad de sonido (le doy muchísima importancia), resiste muy bien los golpes y es contradictoriamente pequeño aunque pesado. Para un amigo, lo probé en una nave de más de 200 metros cuadrados, con techo de unos 7 metros y se oía perfectamente en cualquier punto, incluso sobrado de potencia y claridad. Sin distorsión. Increíble. Conclusión, le he pedido otro para él. He emparejado el mío con el suyo siguiendo las instrucciones, y es asombroso en todos los sentidos. No quiero engañar, no es alta fidelidad, pero para lo que es, ni falta que le hace.

Tiene una calidad-precio muy buena. La duración de la batería es tal cual se indica en la descripción y la calidad del sonido es bastante buena. Yo lo uso en el interior de la ducha y sigue funcionando así que está claro que cumple con su característica "resistente al agua". Compra recomendable
