Overall, we think it provides passable quality while protecting your player from the elements, which is not something a lot of speakers can claim. And the USB-C ensures fast charging and you can fully fuel up the speaker within 1.5 hours. Once you fully charge the speaker, you can get up to 8 hours of playtime. Getting such a battery life from this speaker is quite amazing. Still, it's not the worst we've heard, and it doesn't sound as tinny as many ultracompact speakers. The Mili mag soundmate offers excellent battery life at this size. There's virtually no distinguishable bass response, and probably because the speaker unit is wrapped in the outer case, music has a slightly muffled quality to it. Flat-panel speakers tend to not offer the best audio response, and that remains true in this case.
SOUNDMATE REVIEW PORTABLE
(The overall dimensions of the unit are plenty portable at 5.5x3.7x1.8.) Once the speaker case is zipped shut, it will protect your player from sand and moisture.Īs far as sound quality is concerned, the MP3 SoundMate takes some hits due to its convenient, outdoor-friendly design. The other half of the case consists of a padded compartment that should fit any modern portable device-the space measures 5 by 3 inches. In this case, that's a good thing, as it allows you to use a variety of MP3 players or other audio devices with the unit. The weighty half of the MP3 SoundMate also sprouts a single cable that terminates in a standard 3.5mm plug-you won't find an iPod dock here. It does not make much sense to do so because TX-NR636 already support Wi-Fi conenctivity and DLNA, and can already do much of the added featues provided by WM201, but if you have an older amplifier / AV receiver without connectivity. Of course, this convenience comes at a cost-sound quality suffers-but if you're looking for an easy way to share tunes outdoors while keeping your player protected, the MP3 SoundMate is a practical option. I’ve connected WM201 to Onkyo TX-NR636 AV receiver with any SPDIF optcial audio cable. This compact speaker-cum-case, which sells for a reasonable $29.99 and comes in a variety of colors, helps protect your MP3 player from sand and water while letting you enjoy your music out at the beach or the pool. However, Sandbar International's MP3 SoundMate is an exception. Are not in short supply, but very few are built to truly withstand the elements.
