00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:13.599
the Jazz mini is a beautiful and compact aluminum stand for your smartphone that

00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:18.960
even holds tablets up to 8 in Click now to learn more what could possibly

00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:24.480
justify the existence of a Bluetooth speaker this expensive can't figure it

00:00:21.400 --> 00:00:25.920
out curious well given the small

00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:30.119
percentage of these things that I agree to reveal apparently I was curious too

00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:37.239
because I decided to do it here here's my review of the fugu sport a

00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:39.559
$200 Bluetooth speaker okay Fugu you got

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

00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:46.160
USB cable a flat 32 mm audio connector

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

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

00:00:53.520 --> 00:01:00.199
the unit in under 4 hours and a little cloth baggie for all those accessories

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

00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:09.080
has got four active drivers two neodimium magnet tweeters two neodium

00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:13.680
magnet aluminum doed mid-range drivers with one pair on each side and then two

00:01:11.720 --> 00:01:16.680
passive radiators for base which means you can position it somewhere in the

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

00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:25.479
impressive 40h hour battery life at 50%

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

00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:33.759
assortment of buttons so power on and BL Bluetooth on one side volume up volume

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

00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:40.920
mm Jack that I mentioned on the other side the bottom can connect to a few

00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:45.880
optional accessories including a multi- mount for things like carabiners a strap

00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:50.320
Mount or even a bike mount and other than that the outside looks like any

00:01:47.960 --> 00:01:54.719
other Bluetooth speaker internally the speakers are angled upward 8° since a

00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:58.200
Bluetooth speaker is rarely at the same level as your head when you're listening

00:01:56.079 --> 00:02:02.920
to it I mean you could be well that rarely happens hopefully it supports the

00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:07.119
higher quality Apex codec for better sound quality overall over Bluetooth and

00:02:05.520 --> 00:02:10.959
like most of these devices it includes an omnidirectional microphone for

00:02:08.720 --> 00:02:17.040
speaker phone operation and Siri and you know Google Now and all that stuff once

00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:17.040
powered on you are greeted with

00:02:17.720 --> 00:02:23.200
uh speaker is on some unreasonably loud

00:02:21.480 --> 00:02:27.440
system noises that like so many Bluetooth speakers and this is really

00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:31.599
annoying can't be turned down but at least the pairing process itself is

00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:35.640
pretty painless music listening actually fairly good overall but when I compared

00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:40.560
to straight up audio quality against simple audios go a product that cost

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

00:02:42.480 --> 00:02:47.959
didn't jump around every time a bass note played but maybe a little bit

00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:52.519
disappointed by the lack of clarity in the highs compared to the similarly

00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:56.239
priced ultimate ear UE Boom I was happy with the sound quality at moderate

00:02:53.920 --> 00:03:00.800
volumes but I was disappointed by the overall loudness given the 95 deel

00:02:58.640 --> 00:03:04.400
rating and claims that the fugu is suitable for party use that is simply

00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:07.799
not the case unless your parties look a little something like this with that

00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:11.560
said it's totally loud enough for personal use and if you wanted to you'd

00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:15.280
have no trouble being one of those super cool dudes who wears a speaker like a

00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:20.640
fashion accessory while they walk down the street so there you go but claims of

00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:24.200
audio file grade sound or fantastic out of this world battery life or whatever

00:03:22.239 --> 00:03:29.040
nonsense every Bluetooth speaker company and their dog makes all day would not

00:03:26.799 --> 00:03:31.959
have gotten my attention the fugu has something different

00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:35.519
swappable jackets no I'm just kidding that wasn't

00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:40.920
it there there's more I mean it has swappable jackets but more importantly

00:03:37.959 --> 00:03:45.480
all of them are IP67 waterproof dirtproof and dust proof you can get the

00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:49.239
speaker with the style jacket which looks nice I guess the sport jacket the

00:03:47.519 --> 00:03:53.959
one we have with rubberized corners for drop resistance or the tough jacket with

00:03:51.519 --> 00:03:57.959
an aluminum frame just in case you accidentally run over it with your car

00:03:56.280 --> 00:04:02.120
but manufacturer claims are not enough for us here and we wanted to know just

00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:06.159
how well the speaker will hold up to torture if it's rated to handle 30

00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:10.760
minutes under a meter of water which it is then surely it can handle hanging out

00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:15.680
with me for one of my nice long showers no all right well how about just

00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:22.720
water then sweet aggressive

00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:28.560
water still okay I'm tired and I'm just kind of letting it sit

00:04:24.840 --> 00:04:31.120
there that's fine too very nice

00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:36.000
conclusion time it's again I cannot emphasize this enough

00:04:33.039 --> 00:04:39.960
$200 and there are louder options out there for 360 Dee listening with a group

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

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

00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:51.479
half of solid listening at a reasonable volume and an enclosure that I

00:04:49.960 --> 00:04:54.720
subjectively find stylish and objectively find rugged then if you're

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

00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:02.120
forget to charge your speaker knock it in the water and then finally drop it 6

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

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
