Philips Audio Bluetooth Speaker JS50/00 with Power Bank Function (2 x 2.25- Inch Broadband Speakers, 20 Hours’ Playback Time, 20-m Range) Philips/Georg Jensen Design – 2020/2021 Model TAJS50/00

Great indoor speaker. Looks very tactile with the fabric and polished steel finish.Sound quality is good generally. Can sound slightly 'boxy' when playing music with heavy baselines.

The Phillips JS30/00 is an extremely beautiful and stylish Bluetooth speaker.It is wrapped almost entirely in the softest denim-coloured woollen fabric with a corner of exposed chrome. Honestly, it looks fantastic wherever it is placed thanks to the elegantly modern design.Included within the box is a travel pouch and cleaning cloth, the cloth particularly is a great addition given the metal sections love of displaying fingerprints.Sound quality is good, not world-class, but unless you're a master audiophile, you'll be more than satisfied. To the ear, it's good across all ranges with no audible weaknesses. There were no issues when experimenting with the EQ on my music streaming service, the bass was beefy when boosted and voices were clear and sharp.No complaints either with the connectivity range, I wandered freely around the house, and there was no signal dropout.My only complaints were the stability and charging port location.This speaker is very narrow, and the rubber stands at the bottom are pretty poor. A slight knock of whatever surface it is standing on will almost always cause it to fall.With the charging port being on the very underside of the speaker, you can't stand it up while charging, instead, you have to rest it on its side. This, understandably, is to allow a seamless aesthetic, but still I'd prefer it on the back.Unquestionably it's a good looking speaker, and ultimately that's what you're paying the high price for. But, the sound quality is good, and so I can't help but recommend it.

It looks nice, it paired quickly with my Iphone X, and is fully controllable from the phone. The sound is fine for mid and high frequencies but lacking in the bass. I tried it in a medium sized hall for dancing practice,but decided quite quickly that it doesn't punch out the back-beat well enough for ballroom and sequence dancing, and I've reverted to JBL Charge 4 which is £40 more expensive but oh so much better.

I really wanted to like this speaker. It’s beautiful, award winningly so and does not look out of place on any book shelf. Regrettably though, it’s bass really lets it down.Contents include :- Beautiful looking Bluetooth speaker- Travel pouch- Thick USB C charging cable- User manual / quick start guideThe speaker has an award winning design - small and part covered with blue fabric cover and part polished stainless steel, it really does look amazing and will look irrespective of where it is located. Do have a look at the posted pictures.It’s small too - 13cm tall and 10cm wide (at its widest point). It’s also quite light - weighing c.300g.On one side are 5 buttons - power, bluetooth, play / pause, + and - . There is also an led which is red when charging, off when done, blue when in use. At the bottom of the speaker are a pair of legs and inbetween is the USB C charging point, protected by a silicone cover.Powering on the speaker is simple - press the power button. Pairing is also straightforward. Look for Philips JS30 on phone and connect. No pairing codes needed.Music ...This speaker is rated at only 4w. That said, it feels fairly loud - loud enough to amplify music but not enough to be a party speaker. Vocals sound clear and distinct, mids good but bass is notably lacking .... it has no real depth. My first gripe. At this pricing point, there’s no excuse. Highs and lows, managed well, and does not notably distort at its highest volume.Movies .... No problem .... They add another dimension and are huge improvement to the enjoyment, particularly when watching via tablet. It's very satisfying.Range is estimated at c.20 metres and continuous play at 6 - 8 hours.The buttons on the speaker control iPhone music functions - so you can play or pause, increase or decrease volume. No capability of changing songs though. Another gripe. Most Bluetooth speakers seem to capable of this.Phone call functionality works well too. Sound is good and audible.To charge this speaker, the USB C port is located on the underside meaning that you cannot charge this speaker and listen to its whilst it’s standing on its feet.Also, the feet are very I really wanted to like this speaker.

Buon prodotto tecnicamente, ottimo il design Jensen.

El altavoz se ve muy elegante. Tiene un sonido muy bien configurado y claro. Pero para mi gusto un poco dominado por altas frecuencias. No tiene bastante potencia por su precio. Esperaba un poco más y faltan bajos. Los materiales son de muy buena calidad y batería dura bastante largo. Esté altavoz no para llevar, solo poner en una esquina bien bonita y admirar como se ve.

Bäst med två stycken då man får bra stereoljud. Klart och fint ljud. Kompakt och snygg design.

Nou dat was een tegenvaller! Blijft niet staan hoor, valt direct om

Hoy os voy a contar cómo es este altavoz Philips que he recibido. Como me ha gustado, me he animado a comentaros mis impresiones. Espero que os sean de utilidad.1.-EL CONTENIDO DE LA CAJADentro de la caja viene lo siguiente:--Altavoz--Cable USB C de carga.--Bolsa de tela para guardarlo.--Instrucciones.2.-EL ALTAVOZEl altavoz tiene cuanto menos una forma peculiar. Está claro, que no tiene la forma típica de un altavoz. Más que un altavoz, parece un adorno. Que me perdone Geore Jensen, pero a mi me recuerda a un canto rodado de los del rio de toda la vida. En cuanto a los materiales, en una de las esquinas tenemos acero, lo que es el altavoz en si parede recubierto de tela, y luego tenemos la parte de la botonera que es de plástico. Tiene un tamaño aproximado de 19x14x17 cm y un peso aproximado de 350 gramos.En cuanto a sus elementos, en el lateral derecho tenemos todos los elementos principales de control, que de arriba abajo son: encendido/apagado, emparejamiento, reproducir/pausar, subir y bajar volumen. Entre medias del botón reproducir y el del volumen tenemos un led para indicar conexión bluetooth. En la parte inferior del altavoz, tenemos las patas de goma para no dañar la superficie en el que lo apoyemos y una tapa de goma que da acceso al puerto USB C de carga. Te recuerdo que se suministra el cable, pero no el cargador.Para terminar con la descripción, indicar que es IPX7 por lo que podemos sumergirlo en agua y que tiene bluetooth 5.0. Un pequeño detalle sobre esto. En primer lugar, para sumergirlo en el agua debe estar cerrada la tapa de los conectores. En segundo lugar, que sepas que, si se te estropea sumergiéndolo en agua, no te lo va a cubrir la garantía. Eso no lo suelen decir abiertamente los fabricantes. Así que mejor no lo vayas sumergiendo si no es estrictamente necesario y asegurándonos que has puesto bien la tapa de goma.3.-FUNCIONAMIENTONada más sacarlo de la caja, lo primero es cargarlo. Te recuerdo que el altavoz se alimenta con una batería recargable. No enchufado a la corriente. Necesita dos horas para cargarse y te entrega hasta un máximo de 8 horas de reproducción. OJO CON ESTO, dependerá mucho del volumen al que lo usemos. En unos sitios dicen 6 horas y en otros 8. Lógicamente a mayor volumen, menos duración de batería. Luego nada más es sincronizarlo por bluetooth y disfrutar de su aspecto y de su sonido.4.-CONCLUSIONES¿Y qué nota le das? ¿Me lo recomiendas?Estas dos preguntas son las que todos nos hacemos cuando compramos cualquier dispositivo, y la respuesta es siempre la misma: DEPENDE DE PARA QUÉ LO USES Y CUÁLES SEAN TUS EXPECTATIVAS.Se trata de un altavoz muy versátil, transportable y potente. Sus grandes bazas son su aspecto diferente, su calidad de audio, su pequeño tamaño que nos permite llevarlo a cualquier sitio, el que sea sumergible y resistente al polvo. ¿Es perfecto? No, ni mucho menos. También tiene fallos. En el precio que nos estamos moviendo, se echa en falta conexión WiFi y tener asistentes de voz como Google, Alexa u otros. Si te gusta el diseño adelante. Si te da igual el diseño, hay mejores opciones por este precio. Te pongo a continuación cuáles son sus puntos fuertes y débiles para ayudarte a decidir.PUNTOS FUERTES:--Artículo con muy buenos acabados.--Diseño diferente.--Conexión Bluetooth 5.0.--Muy buen sonido.--Portátil. Lo puedes llevar a cualquier sitio.--IPX7. Protección al polvo y el agua. Pero mejor no abusar. Como te he dicho la garantía no te va a cubrir los daños por agua si pasa algo.--En unos pocos días lo tienes en casa y con la garantía que da Amazon.PUNTOS DÉBILES:--En ningún sitio nos dicen qué potencia de salida tienen los altavoces. Se le ve potente para su tamaño, pero no nos indican el valor numérico.--¿Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant qué ha pasado con ellos? Por este precio debería incluirlos.--El precio elevado. Pagas el diseño más que las funciones.
