00:00:06,839 --> 00:00:13,599
the Jazz mini is a beautiful and compact aluminum stand for your smartphone that

2
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:18,960
even holds tablets up to 8 in Click now to learn more what could possibly

3
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:24,480
justify the existence of a Bluetooth speaker this expensive can't figure it

4
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,920
out curious well given the small

5
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:30,119
percentage of these things that I agree to reveal apparently I was curious too

6
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:37,239
because I decided to do it here here's my review of the fugu sport a

7
00:00:33,719 --> 00:00:39,559
$200 Bluetooth speaker okay Fugu you got

8
00:00:37,239 --> 00:00:44,960
my attention now it better be amazing in the box you'll find a nice flat micro

9
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:46,160
USB cable a flat 32 mm audio connector

10
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:51,320
in case you want to hook your audio Source up directly to the 3 and 12 mm

11
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:56,120
input on the side of the speaker a 2.1 amp wall wart that Fugu says can charge

12
00:00:53,520 --> 00:01:00,199
the unit in under 4 hours and a little cloth baggie for all those accessories

13
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:04,280
that I just mentioned all right and I guess there's a speaker too this bad boy

14
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:09,080
has got four active drivers two neodimium magnet tweeters two neodium

15
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:13,680
magnet aluminum doed mid-range drivers with one pair on each side and then two

16
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:16,680
passive radiators for base which means you can position it somewhere in the

17
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:23,439
middle of a group of people and everyone can hear it all right and it promises an

18
00:01:19,439 --> 00:01:25,479
impressive 40h hour battery life at 50%

19
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:29,880
volume which is leagues ahead of most of the stuff this size it's got the usual

20
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:33,759
assortment of buttons so power on and BL Bluetooth on one side volume up volume

21
00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:37,240
down and a call button on the top and finally USB power in and that 3 and 12

22
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:40,920
mm Jack that I mentioned on the other side the bottom can connect to a few

23
00:01:39,159 --> 00:01:45,880
optional accessories including a multi- mount for things like carabiners a strap

24
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:50,320
Mount or even a bike mount and other than that the outside looks like any

25
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:54,719
other Bluetooth speaker internally the speakers are angled upward 8° since a

26
00:01:52,799 --> 00:01:58,200
Bluetooth speaker is rarely at the same level as your head when you're listening

27
00:01:56,079 --> 00:02:02,920
to it I mean you could be well that rarely happens hopefully it supports the

28
00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:07,119
higher quality Apex codec for better sound quality overall over Bluetooth and

29
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:10,959
like most of these devices it includes an omnidirectional microphone for

30
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:17,040
speaker phone operation and Siri and you know Google Now and all that stuff once

31
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,040
powered on you are greeted with

32
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:23,200
uh speaker is on some unreasonably loud

33
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:27,440
system noises that like so many Bluetooth speakers and this is really

34
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:31,599
annoying can't be turned down but at least the pairing process itself is

35
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:35,640
pretty painless music listening actually fairly good overall but when I compared

36
00:02:33,599 --> 00:02:40,560
to straight up audio quality against simple audios go a product that cost

37
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:44,440
half as much I came away happy that the bass was so much Fuller and the speaker

38
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:47,959
didn't jump around every time a bass note played but maybe a little bit

39
00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:52,519
disappointed by the lack of clarity in the highs compared to the similarly

40
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:56,239
priced ultimate ear UE Boom I was happy with the sound quality at moderate

41
00:02:53,920 --> 00:03:00,800
volumes but I was disappointed by the overall loudness given the 95 deel

42
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:04,400
rating and claims that the fugu is suitable for party use that is simply

43
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:07,799
not the case unless your parties look a little something like this with that

44
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:11,560
said it's totally loud enough for personal use and if you wanted to you'd

45
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,280
have no trouble being one of those super cool dudes who wears a speaker like a

46
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:20,640
fashion accessory while they walk down the street so there you go but claims of

47
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:24,200
audio file grade sound or fantastic out of this world battery life or whatever

48
00:03:22,239 --> 00:03:29,040
nonsense every Bluetooth speaker company and their dog makes all day would not

49
00:03:26,799 --> 00:03:31,959
have gotten my attention the fugu has something different

50
00:03:30,439 --> 00:03:35,519
swappable jackets no I'm just kidding that wasn't

51
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:40,920
it there there's more I mean it has swappable jackets but more importantly

52
00:03:37,959 --> 00:03:45,480
all of them are IP67 waterproof dirtproof and dust proof you can get the

53
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,239
speaker with the style jacket which looks nice I guess the sport jacket the

54
00:03:47,519 --> 00:03:53,959
one we have with rubberized corners for drop resistance or the tough jacket with

55
00:03:51,519 --> 00:03:57,959
an aluminum frame just in case you accidentally run over it with your car

56
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:02,120
but manufacturer claims are not enough for us here and we wanted to know just

57
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:06,159
how well the speaker will hold up to torture if it's rated to handle 30

58
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:10,760
minutes under a meter of water which it is then surely it can handle hanging out

59
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:15,680
with me for one of my nice long showers no all right well how about just

60
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:22,720
water then sweet aggressive

61
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:28,560
water still okay I'm tired and I'm just kind of letting it sit

62
00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:31,120
there that's fine too very nice

63
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:36,000
conclusion time it's again I cannot emphasize this enough

64
00:04:33,039 --> 00:04:39,960
$200 and there are louder options out there for 360 Dee listening with a group

65
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:44,199
of friends okay so with that out of the way does this product have a right to

66
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:48,160
exist then I think so yeah with a battery that lasts for about a day and a

67
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:51,479
half of solid listening at a reasonable volume and an enclosure that I

68
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,720
subjectively find stylish and objectively find rugged then if you're

69
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:58,440
the kind of person who is a bit of a scatterbrain like me and is likely to

70
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:02,120
forget to charge your speaker knock it in the water and then finally drop it 6

71
00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:06,440
ft to the ground onto concrete or onto dirt then expect it to still work then I

72
00:05:04,840 --> 00:05:12,000
guess this one's for you and also you should really be more careful with your stuff this thing's expensive all right
