1","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":216.239,"end_s":227.84,"text":"over three is a fraction I think so for a fraction of the price the twist

speaker phone it's got like you know bass and treble and all that stuff this is a less expensive alternative this is the Twist speaker with rechargeable battery it is basically a speaker and speaker phone plus like base and treble and stuff so slick wants me to get the packaging off it in a hurry because it's pretty shiny so we're just going to undress this Bluetooth speaker in a big way and Slick's apparently tired and wants to sit down cuz he's trying to move that like stool over here uh so let's see what the manufacturer has to say for themselves um sorry stick there's nothing I can do it is Wireless okay a2dp Bluetooth for wireless music streaming with a 30 foot range it is a speaker phone with a built-in microphone an advanced noise cancellation for wireless speaker phone calls bold sound two speakers and one passive subwoofer auxiliary input which is Handy rechargeable battery okay offers up to 5 hours of continuous play time now I can tell you guys right now that that is significantly less than the jam boox however if you were paying like you know if you were paying per minute of play time then um The Twist is still a better deal however you also lose the size

put it on the table so it doesn't roll um has kind of a soft touch feel to it kind of like bit Phoenix cases so let's press on see what happens here and it's not charged dancing makes more sense when there's music so the pairing process took a matter of like seconds even for slick who had incidentally never paired anything over Bluetooth to his phone before this is Slick's phone um mine's out of

one more thing and what's another thing that's great about it is that it charges by mini not by stupid micro USB which is is more fragile and less accessible there I have fewer micro cables and I think most people probably do as well"}
