Once again we have on our table a product from the SBS mobile company and we are sure it may interest more than one of you. In a previous review, we saw the Stereo Zip Earset headphones and this time we have its Piper Bluetooth speaker that allows us to listen to our music anywhere via Bluetooth.
This speaker offers us a very careful and reduced design to be able to take it with us anywhere. Something very important that we have to take into account when we want to buy this type of speaker is that they offer us a good sound quality and this Piper Portable Speaker with its power of 3 Watt output, it really does. But let's see the product in more detail ...
Let's start with the dimensions of this speaker. The Piper has the right measurements to take advantage of the device and not lose sound quality, it measures 5,50 cm high by about 6 cm wide, but taking into account that its shape is rounded, its measurements are ideal to take it with us to any place. The weight of this speaker is not that it is high but it is not light either, some 230 g and The solidity of it is surprising the first time you hold it in your hand since the materials used for its construction are metal for the part where the company logo (SBS) is located plus the upper grid and plastic for the part where the buttons are located.
With what devices can we use the Piper speaker? Well, the possibilities that this speaker offers us are really enormous, since any device that has Bluetooth connectivity and is capable of playing music will be compatible with the Piper. The speaker has Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity and can even be connected to our computer as long as it has support for Bluetooth devices. The Piper also has a slot in which we can insert our Micro SD card and play its content.
We also have available the function of free hands, so if we are listening to music with the loudspeaker and they call us, we can answer calmly from the speaker itself since it incorporates its own microphone and we will only have to press the central button and speak directly to the speaker. While it is true that the sound quality when we reproduce audio is really spectacular in this Piper, the quality to answer a call it's not that it's his strong suit since it lacks a noise canceling microphone… Anyway, it can get us out of a bind when we receive a call and we cannot directly access the smartphone.
The keypad that we have available in this speaker consists of three central physical buttons that serve to advance, rewind songs, raise and lower the volume of the music and pause a song or pick up a call. In addition, it has a second button that is used to turn the speaker on in Bluetoth mode, access the content of the Micro SD card and be able to turn it off.
When we turn on the loudspeaker, a blue and red led turns on that stays in blinking blue when it is connected to the device. Once the battery is depleted, it warns us by means of the red LED flashing and if we connect a Micro SD card the LED that lights up is red. It takes approximately 2 hours to carry out a full charge and with this charge we will be able to enjoy a autonomy of 5 hours approximately. To charge it, we add a USB to Micro USB cable in the box, but does not have connector to the wall and we must use our smartphone or load it directly on a computer.
If you are thinking of buying a Bluetooth speaker to enjoy your music anywhere, it is interesting that you consider this Piper Portable Speaker de SBS-mobile among your options, since its features and quality of finishes make it a very interesting option. You will find it in three colors: white, black and blue and to finish this review you cannot miss knowing its price, which is of 29,90 euros.
