Aukey Outdoor Speaker Review
The Aukey outdoor speaker combines style, functionality and protection into a small and lightweight unit. The speaker will cost you just £20; so how does the speaker stack up?
The speaker comes neatly packed with the unit itself inside an aux cable, a micro USB cable and a leather strap. The design of the speaker is unique - reminiscent of a car tire. This gives the device a certain ruggedness - Aukey opted for metal and rubber components. The included kickstand/camping snap hook allows the device to be mounted on a table without it rolling off.
The speaker itself is very light which was very pleasing especially since how well protected the unit was. This added to its portability making it an excellent camping or hiking companion. Furthermore, the speaker has an IPX5 rating meaning it is resistant to the odd splash of water. I tested this by splashing and pouring water over the speaker - the unit handled it just fine. It is worth mentioning, when the speaker is wet, sound may become distorted, which was the case.
Connecting the device is quite simple- turn on the speaker and connect your mobile via Bluetooth. Battery life has been excellent. Aukey state 6 hours of Bluetooth playback and I can confirm this to be the case after my testing.
The speaker produces great sound quality. The unit is able to produce some impressive bass and clear sound at high volumes. The Aukey outdoor speaker can output up to 3W producing some very loud music which is perfect for outdoor use. In fact, I found that the speaker was too loud. Even on the lowest sound the speaker was noticeably loud when compared to other speakers!
In conclusion, the Aukey Outdoor speakers are probably the best ones you can find on the market for outdoor use. It produces decent sound quality complemented by a tough design that enables you to make the most out of it.
