Logitech X100

There are a variety of portable speakers in the market now that are skillful enough to fill up a room to kick off a party or a briefing call anytime.

The Logitech X100 is a decent, affordable option that provides a decent output and is small plenty to slip into any bag. It doesn't rival large speakers or even the premium portable speakers in features or audio quality, but a nicely designed, compact speaker at the price information technology comes at is definitely interesting.

Design

The Logitech X100 is well-nigh the size of a bigger donut and weighs effectually 161 grams. The device is made of soft-feel polyurethane, and the rubberized exterior is rugged enough for coincidental daily usage and a few bumps here and there. Information technology's non waterproof or anything though. Available in several vibrant colors, the X100 looks pretty stylish.

The cylindrical device has a speaker grill on the summit and hidden backside the grill is the notification LED. At that place are four buttons – power push, Bluetooth push button, and volume upwards/downwards buttons. In that location'southward besides an AUX input port if you wish to connect it using a standard AUX cable instead of over Bluetooth. As is common, there'southward a microUSB port for charging the device, which is convenient. The wall charger is not included in the box, mind yous.

The speaker includes a claw with a minor string, to hang it from a haversack or something. It's a neat lilliputian design twist that is useful, and looks slick.

Functioning

For its size, the Logitech X100 has a pretty good sound output, both in audio reproduction as well as volume. The sound is rich and well-baked, and easily fills the room better than some expensive portable speakers. It'south a non-stereo speaker, but the performance is pretty skilful. Again, about of these devices wouldn't please an audiophile, simply information technology's a folly to expect most portable speakers to satiate one.

The speakerphone is a thwarting though. The sound output is muffled in a strange manner, and the person at the other terminate of the call had a hard time hearing me in nigh cases. It works just most fine when information technology's tranquility indoors though.

Well I quite liked that I was able to get the claimed bombardment life of 5 hours, pumping the speaker at full volume, it's still beneath average. The charging though is pretty quick, and you'd be able to charge information technology back to total capacity inside an hour. The wireless range is limited as well, and conveying the phone to just the adjacent room didn't work sometimes.

Summary

While the speaker struggles as a utility device to take calls, information technology offers pretty good music playback. The compact, cylindrical box gives it a nice retro expect. Priced at $49 in the US, £49 in the United kingdom, and ₹two,995 in Bharat through diverse retailers (such equally Amazon.com), the wireless speaker is bachelor at a disbelieve at most stores, and is definitely a great device for the cost despite a few compromises here and there.
