We tried to find in this collection such models that would have some additional unique characteristic, a feature that could influence the choice of small acoustics.
No matter how strange it may sound, many people try to solve interior problems, when small speakers are chosen, mobility is important to someone, somehow, it happens that sound as a characteristic fades into the background.
We got our own hearing, a sound generator program and a YouTube test. This, of course, is not so convincing, because there is no guarantee that our hearing aid works as it should, and also listened to some Metallic.
Nyne Mini – mobile speaker on the nature
- What is the feature: mobility
Easy speaker, which is convenient to take with a special cover with a carabiner, which comes complete.
The lightness is emphasized by the design: the lateral part clearly resembles a leaf of a tree.
Dynamic case rubberized: not afraid of splashes.
The speaker interface is simple and straightforward: there are several buttons that are responsible for volume, playback and response to a call. They are located on the front side of the cobweb, above the metal mesh that the speaker is closed in.
The power button, as well as the Jack and charging cable connectors are removed to the rear.
In the “paging” mode under the grid, a blue diode flashes distinctly, which is lit continuously when the speaker is connected to any device.
Features
- Wireless communication: Bluetooth 2.1
- Wireless Communication Range: 10 meters
- Sound: 2.0 stereo output
- Duration of work: 10 hours
- Additional functions: built-in microphone for hands-free calling
- Size (W x D x H): 12.7cm x 6.35cm x 5.7cm
- Weight: 0.3 kg
The sound at low frequencies starts sounding about 26 Hz at high hearing ceases to discriminate – about 14700 Hz.
Among the advantages: mobility, good equipment, reliability.

Jarre Aeroscull Nano – design acoustics
- What is the feature: design
The small speaker Jarre Aeroscull Nano is made in the form of a skull, hinting at one of the main albums of Jean-Michel Jarre – Oxygene.
It is compact enough and light, and in order to take it with you, for example, on the street during a walk in the kit, there is also a special lace and a carbine. The place for their fastening is allocated on the “crown” of the dynamics.
The sound comes out of the “eyes” and the “head”: there is a passive subwoofer. The A2DP codec provides stereo quality over a wireless channel. The interface is simple, or it’s more correct to say: it’s practically nonexistent. The speaker volume is adjusted only on the paired device.
On the back of the case there is a single power button / connector and a charging connector. Through the same connector works in a “wired” mode.
Stability on an even surface is provided by rubberized gaskets:
- Bluetooth 4.0
- A2DP codec
- Range: 150 Hz – 18 kHz +3 dB
- Dynamics: 1 full spectrum of 1×18 mm
- 1 subwoofer: 1×38 mm
- Amplifier output power: total – 6 W
- 1 amplifier: the full spectrum – 1х3 W
- the subwoofer: 1х3 W
The low frequency reproduces from 36 Hz. Dimensions: 7.6 x 6 x 7.5 cm. The fact that the loudspeaker is connected to the device is indicated by a burning tooth:
Undoubtedly, the main distinctive feature of this model is design. This feature will be recognized first of all.

Rock Pocket Party – portable light-music
- What is the feature: small size + backlight
Speaker Rock – for cozy little parties.
The speaker is designed in such a way that it turns any flat surface into a passive subwoofer. For stability on the surfaces there is a wide rubber area:
All the controls are placed on the side of the hull, in the dark, they are perfectly probed. The rubberized case makes this model resistant to splashes.
Three bright diodes are located up to the metal grid. The main “color gamut” is hidden inside.
- weight – 170 gr.,
- Power (MAX) – 3 Watts,
- work time – 3-5 hours,
- the range of action is 10 m.,
- The capacity of the battery is 600 mAh.
Low frequencies on the tone generator begin to be recognized from 37 Hz, at high frequencies, you can not distinguish the sound of about 12,000.
Among the merits, it should be noted lightness and compactness: height about 4 cm, as a consequence – mobility. In addition, it is worth noting light and music accompaniment, as well as protection from splashes that during small home parties – by the way. A bit embarrassed by the small autonomy: the speaker seems to be more for use at home!

Divoom – interactive smart speaker with alerts and games
- What is the feature: interactive features
Divoom is a smart speaker that has additional capabilities, with no sound at all.
A special application opens them. So if you synchronize Bivoom Timebox with a computer, you will not see some of these features. The front part of the speaker is a digital display, on which at least – time is displayed, as a maximum – everything else. When you turn on the speaker looks for a pair.
You can configure the display just by using the application. Moreover, you can choose one of the given elements:
Either make your own design and send it to the device.
Here, a little of our creativity:
Besides funny faces, you can display notifications on the display. The information from the smartphone you want to receive also needs to be configured in a special menu in the application.
Several simple games are integrated: in principle, you can have fun in the company, for example, throw dice . To do this, start the game in the application and shake the phone.
In general, there is no problem with managing through the application. The main elements: the inclusion, volume, etc. are carried on the body of the speaker – on the top panel.
For the output of sound – the back wall. The speaker itself is hidden behind a metal net, and on the wall there are several exits at the same time.
The stability of the dynamics provides additional rubber “legs.”
- Battery: lithium, 3.7 V, 2000 mAh
- Power: 5 V
- Dimensions: 33.8 * 70 * 168.5 mm
- Weight: 400 g
- Indication: Programmable LED display 256 colors
- Battery capacity: 2000 mAh
- Optional: audio input, Bluetooth v.4.0,
- voice prompts, sound recording, incoming call reception,
- USB, MP3.WMA.WAV.MGP.FLAC.APE,
- remote control via Bluetooth, EDR, AUX-In (MiniUSB),
- 3.5 mm jack, headset mode
- Features: FM radio, Alarm clock
- Operating time: 6 h
As a result, a rather funny laconic thing with a good sound, which you begin to hear from 47 Hz to 14,600 Hz. Notifications, games and a customizable display highlight this model from all the others, making it really unusual.

Allocacoc AudioCube – sound 360 degrees
- What is the feature: open speakers and surround sound
Open speakers are an atypical solution for portable models, but it looks really impressive, especially when they “shake” at high volume. And they sound decent.
We already familiarized you with Allocacoc products on the pages of the blog. Fame brought these guys a splitter in the form of a cube, and this time, with a speaker, to give up the familiar form did not. Although in size, of course, it exceeds the extensions.
The cube is designed in such a way as to ensure the propagation of sound in all directions: there are 4 audio outputs, one for each side wall.
On the other two: a large power button and a connector for charging or connecting to the network.
Also on the side with the button – output for Jack. For those who prefer to listen to the wire. The cube comes complete with its own plug – the length of the wire is 1 m.
Works both on the network and on Bluetooth. The time of autonomous work is up to 8 hours.
All the basic controls are placed on the hull of the cube:
Turned out quite good. Low frequencies seem to be heard better than all of the listed ones: from 22 to 24 Hz, and at high hearing it ceases to distinguish about 14700 Hz. Apparently, that such an upper result in me in most cases – do not go to the doctor …
- Dynamics: 40V = 10V * 4
- Audio output: AUX 3.5mm
- Audio cable: Length: 1m
- Connection: Bluetooth4.0 (effective distance of 10 m)
- Battery capacity: 4800mAH
- Battery life: 12 hours (at 50% loudness)
- Charging time: ~ 3 hours
- IEC port: IEC 60320 C14
- Voltage: AC 100V-240V / 50-60Hz / 1A
According to the general impression, Allocacoc wins by the sound of many. Emitters of open type, apparently, provides not only a visual effect of the “adult” column, but also help with bass, which are clearly discernible at a level of about 20 Hz.
