Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Astro Speaker – An Audio Revolution?”.
Replicating the technics used on thousand dollar-plus audio systems, this is the Astro, so the Astro costs one hundred and thirty nine dollars, and what makes it so different is that it doesn’t use a DSP. No DSP is a digital signal processor and what a lot of manufacturers do when they make speakers is they build the hardware and then they tweak it so that it fits well with music. What tree Labs have done when they created the Astro is they’ve actually built. It from the ground up to reproduce music, as it’s meant to sound, or so they say the packaging has taken recycling to the next level. It is fully cardboard, it doesn’t look bad though, and I have to say it’s pretty interesting.
The speaker itself feels really quite weighty. It’S actually a little bit bigger than I was expecting a little bit larger than most portable Bluetooth speakers and definitely not pocketable. It’S not exactly the sleekest or the lightest, but it does have a rather nice finish and feels weighty in the hand without further ado. Let’S turn it on right from the off.
When you actually look at the page of the a story speaker, the company makes it pretty clear that they’re not about the base and that their speaker is about a pure audio experience. I think so that, though the base is actually still really substantial, it’s just as powerful as competing speakers. The inner tech Mars box, for example, a speaker which I rated really really highly and an audio clarity. It’S on a whole new level.
It’S really really transparent. You can hear a lot of stuff going on in your music. The MARAC is, in the background, the strum of a guitar, the material of the drum kit.
It’S all slight details like this. That really just start to separate this from its similarly priced competitors for actually $ 30 more. You could get a Bose Soundlink mini three and that doesn’t actually sound as detail of this.
Although the bass is more powerful through digital signal processing, it just sounds a little bit more artificial. The Astra does reveal a very pure sound signature, just like it was intended to it’s also extremely loud and can surpass speakers up to twice its size. However, it’s not perfect, the Ostrow does use a non-standard charge it, which just means a bit of hassle.
It’S got no buttons or microphone built-in, so you can’t call through it like you can on a lot of competing products, and it also means that you can’t conveniently adjust volume from it. While this doesn’t mean it gets a clean look, it just loses a little bit of functionality and, to be honest, I’m not a big fan of the look. It looks very very plain: while there are options to watch to get tattoos on it, the base model just doesn’t appeal to me.
It also has a battery life of around 14 hours, and that is a well above average, so guys this is the Astro. While it’s not quite a revolution, it is a fantastic speaker for the money and this reviews, the boss and this insanely cool tech. .
