Can a speaker this small put out some big sound
0:02
Let's find out. Dave Taylor here and I'm looking at this
0:13
This is the tri-bit Mac sound plus Bluetooth speaker. And as you can see, it's roughly the size of a soda can
0:21
maybe like a Monster Energy soda can. But you know what? It puts out some seriously nice sounding music
0:27
So it's a 24 watt wireless speaker with 20 hours of playtime on a full charge and it runs Bluetooth 4.2 with a 100 foot
0:36
range. But what makes this cool is they have what they call their X-base boost button. So
0:41
let's get it going with some music. And I'm going to have Face Me so it's closer to the
0:49
mic. Nice sounding music there. And what we're going to do is we'll actually turn on that
0:56
base boost. It's a button. Ready? It adds a lot of base
1:02
Now, you have your usual controls here so I can do volume up and down and pause, play, and all that sort of stuff
1:10
And you can do Bluetooth pairing. But you know what? It's pretty darn nice
1:15
It's also IPX-7 waterproof. So if I listening to this at the beach and a wave hits me or if I at the pool and this is on my floaty and it goes curse splash no problem Very nice you could also actually listen to music during a rainstorm in the rain now i not sure why you do that but you could
1:32
now one of the other interesting things is it has a microphone because it works as a speaker
1:36
phone and i tried that and it actually sounds surprisingly good now the audio you get from a phone
1:43
call is pretty clipped it's not very good audio quality there's a long long story behind why that's still
1:49
the case. But it certainly sounds good and the people on the other end, this actually is a really
1:55
nice little speaker phone. Go figure. Who would think? This would be great for the kids when
1:59
they're talking to grandma, something like that, right? And if we look on the back, it has two
2:04
special features. One, a micro USB connection. Whoops, let's keep that open. A micro USB connection
2:10
for charging. That's pretty important. And the other one is it has an AUX in 3.5 millimeter jack
2:17
which means if you don't want to use it on Bluetooth or you just don't have a Bluetooth device
2:22
you can hook this up to something else. A little mini TV that you got from the 1970s from Grandpa
2:28
You could hook it up and use this as a speaker. How awesome is that? Not sure that's a recommended use, but you could do it
2:35
Now, I will say that there's also no lag. So if you want to use this as a speaker for regular streaming video off of your Bluetooth device
2:42
I tried that and it worked surprisingly well. I was very pleased with the results
2:47
But mostly I just really like the music sound Now it not super amazing It a clean sound There lots of bass if you want to turn on that bass boost
2:58
You know, it actually sounds reasonably nice, but it's still, there's a little muddiness if you turn it up too loud
3:05
But, you know, let's face it, this is a pretty small speaker. There's only so much you can do because of the physics of how speakers work
3:12
I would still say, particularly for the price, under 50 bucks, This is a really smart investment
3:18
And if you have teenagers and they want to be able to listen to music when they're out and about
3:22
this could be a great addition. Obviously, you can tie it or hold it to something, but you can also just chuck it in your backpack
3:28
or in one of those big monster purses that gals like to use now
3:32
All good. This is fairly heavy. It's 1.3 pounds. But, you know, you can't have good speaker sound without having a heavy speaker
3:40
Again, it's to do with magnets and physics. But overall, 8 inches by 3 inches
3:45
by three inches gives your sense of its size. Not too bad, actually
3:50
I would guess it's about the same size as you'd get if you bought a pair of sunglasses. This would be the box the sunglasses are in
3:55
Of course, this does not contain sunglasses, nor do you get them when you purchase it. So, that's all I got
4:01
Let's just do a little bit more music here. You know, so you can hear just a little more
4:15
and I like it I impressed Now before we get to the price let me ask if you can click on that subscribe button
4:24
and subscribe to my channel. Much appreciated. And leave me a comment
4:28
If you're using Bluetooth speaker and you love it, leave a comment and tell me what you're
4:32
using instead of this tri-bit max sound plus, which leads us to the price
4:37
So, tri-bit max sound plus with the upside-down logo. Nope, there it is
4:41
Now it's the correct logo. Oh, and let me just show you real quick before we get to the price
4:46
On the top is all the different buttons. So there's power, there's the Bluetooth pairing, pause play, volume down, volume up
4:53
and then there's the X-Base button if you want to get even more bass out of what you're listening to
4:58
All of those right there on the top, it's completely IPX-7 waterproof. Super nice
5:03
Okay, so tri-bit, max sound plus 4759 at Amazon.com. Under 50 bucks
5:10
This is actually a pretty darn good deal. This is really nice for the price point
5:14
So, I suggest you check it out. And with that, I'm going to go back to the music
5:18
and I will catch you in my next video
