More and more of us have chosen to eliminate all the cables in our home, at least those in which we have the possibility. This is how more and more work desks enjoy the quality and autonomy that a sound bar or a compatible small speaker gives you. Today we are going to give you a good example, the Aukey CSR speaker.
This speaker is literally a luxury in any of the tables that you place it, however… is the sound of the speaker up to its materials? Let's take a more in-depth look at this CSR speaker that Aukey offers us.
So, as always in each of our reviews, we are going to see in depth what are the features they offer us, looking at each of the compatibilities we have, as well as the configurations. If you want to go directly to any specific section, you can go to our index without further delay and navigate faster. Without further ado, let's go with the analysis of the speaker Aukey CSR 4.0, a speaker with a spectacular design that is undoubtedly a luxury in our work or desk area.
Aukey CSR 4.0 Materials and Design
We start with its design, a rectangle 20 centimeters long, 6,5 centimeters high and another 6 centimeters deep. It certainly has a fairly rhythmic design with curved lowered sides. The first thing that surprises us is its front and upper part totally made of aluminum, something that usually accompanies the Chinese brand in many of its products. That gives it a touch premium That we can not deny, especially those who have metal products like Apple will be pleased by this company on the table.
At the top we have the button panel, also made of metal. With it we will be able to control music and calls at our whim in an easy way. In one of the corners of the upper part we also have the LED that will indicate the status of the product. While in the back area we will find the connections. Undoubtedly in terms of design we must say that it is extremely well manufactured, it shows a fairly stable weightWe do not know if because they have included counterweights or by their own materials. In addition, the bottom has four zones with silicone that help the speaker not move on the table even a millimeter despite its powerful reproduction.
Audio quality and speaker autonomy
The speaker offers us a total of 32 W if we add its two drivers located on the sides. These have been baptized as Bass Radiator, the reality is that they include a small subwoofer that defends itself extremely well. To further improve the matter, they have a fully integrated digital signal processor, using MaxBass technology that supposedly improves the bass. Here we have the first problem, Aukey has focused so much on improving the bass that it stands out from all other sounds, perhaps too much.
The maximum volume is 80 db, and although we have not found dirt in the sound or any type of failure as we increase the volume, the reality is that I repeat myself, the bass is noticeable too much above the rest of the sounds.
Regarding autonomy and connectivity we find Bluetoot 4.0 and A2DP, custom audio hardware that allows us to connect quickly and offers 10 meters of range. The reality is that we have not found any loss of audio quality to highlight, the quality of Bluetooth is more than enough. In total, its 4.000 mAh battery will offer us between 8 and 12 hours of battery both playing music and calls, the autonomy will depend on whether we use the Bluetooth or the AUX output, there almost four hours of difference. We have been able to get around 7 hours of use easily and without complications.
Editor's opinion and connectivity
As we have already mentioned, in the back we have two connections, the micro USB that only serves to charge the speaker (which can be used while charging) and an AUX input which will also allow us to enjoy the music although sometimes we lose control of the audio through the buttons. The button next to these two connections also serves to turn on and fully pay for the device, a button that is quite poorly located but that does its job without further ado.
We have had a good experience with the speaker, the reality is that we could even say that it is somewhat expensive, but in terms of design in that price range it is truly spectacular. If what you are looking for is supreme sound quality, forget about reaching high levels, but if you settle for playing music regularly, its power is more than enough. Perhaps the design, materials and battery are what stand out the most from the speaker. You can get him in No products found. from €39,99.
