1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,259
I initially thought it was a really really stupid idea to have just a

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:14,219
regular Bluetooth speaker with a candle on top but what I learned is that the

3
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:16,619
glass on top is actually part of the

4
00:00:14,219 --> 00:00:19,740
speaker system so I went from thinking this was a really stupid product to

5
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:22,279
actually something that seems quite exciting

6
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,300
a little strap in here

7
00:00:29,699 --> 00:00:35,880
oh my God look at that it's certainly a lot girthier than I

8
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:43,440
expected a little intimidated honestly it's really really heavy too see what else we

9
00:00:39,780 --> 00:00:45,000
got in here whoa it turned on

10
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:50,640
oh my God that's uh that's pretty bright it's like a one piece unit in there when

11
00:00:47,579 --> 00:00:53,219
it even reflects up off the top of the

12
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:55,760
little glass Tubi thing yeah but just leave that over there

13
00:00:57,079 --> 00:01:04,320
okay we've got a charging cable USBC that's really nice nice fabric wrap on

14
00:01:02,039 --> 00:01:09,780
this a bunch of instructions it's a glass speaker what's this

15
00:01:06,299 --> 00:01:12,360
ooh comes with a cleaning car

16
00:01:09,780 --> 00:01:16,220
oh you're gonna burn it oh I think it's just a light in there

17
00:01:13,740 --> 00:01:21,360
don't need that okay that's everything we need here they

18
00:01:19,259 --> 00:01:25,979
call it an organic glass tube and I don't really know what that means it's

19
00:01:23,939 --> 00:01:29,640
plastic you can hear that I don't really understand why they would call it

20
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:34,680
organic glass when it's just plastic one of the interesting things about this is

21
00:01:31,860 --> 00:01:40,439
it's got two speakers inside the unit it's got this down firing larger driver

22
00:01:37,799 --> 00:01:46,380
which probably makes up the most of the base here so you have a separate mid

23
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:49,439
driver and then you also have a Tweeter

24
00:01:46,380 --> 00:01:51,920
that is attached stop it attached to the

25
00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:57,360
plastic organic glass tube at the top here so instead of

26
00:01:54,659 --> 00:02:03,960
having a tweeter that fires up or 360 Degrees around this entire glass 2B

27
00:02:01,380 --> 00:02:08,459
thing glass 2B thing acts as your Tweeter which is uh actually quite

28
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:14,819
exciting you want to weigh it it's supposed to mimic like a candle

29
00:02:11,940 --> 00:02:20,220
yeah but the tube is actually the Tweeter oh no way so it's it's like they

30
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,920
went okay we'll make a giant Tweeter and wow this is kind of boring I know we'll

31
00:02:21,780 --> 00:02:26,940
put a candle in it it's kind of like it's kind of like vacuum tubes like I

32
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:30,000
love amps yeah they have the vacuum tubes that glow and they're on and stuff

33
00:02:28,500 --> 00:02:33,660
I think that's a nice aesthetic this is kind of less of a nerdy version of that

34
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:37,260
yeah I think they turned something that they designed from a technical

35
00:02:34,980 --> 00:02:42,120
standpoint into something that's more of an aesthetic piece do it sound good I

36
00:02:39,420 --> 00:02:46,160
don't know yet I ain't got time okay so have fun I'll let you know yes

37
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:52,140
1.11 kilograms two and a half pounds Hefty

38
00:02:50,220 --> 00:02:56,580
good bludgeoning weapon how does it connect believe it's only Bluetooth

39
00:02:54,180 --> 00:03:00,239
doesn't look like it's got any auxiliary in so you can't pass around the aux cord

40
00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:04,379
power button on the side it's got a phone connection button and it looks

41
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:08,580
like you've got your volume adjustment here too one thing that did irritate me

42
00:03:06,540 --> 00:03:14,159
was that the Bluetooth connection button and the I guess it's like a timer off

43
00:03:11,580 --> 00:03:18,480
mode thing or on the bottom so if I wanted to interact with it I'd have to

44
00:03:16,019 --> 00:03:21,239
pick it up and and repair it I don't know why those couldn't be on the side

45
00:03:19,620 --> 00:03:25,739
it was just an aesthetic consideration who knows it takes five volts in through

46
00:03:23,340 --> 00:03:29,819
this USBC charger so theoretically you could leave this plugged in all the time

47
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:33,480
but it is battery powered jono tells me it's got eight hours of battery life I

48
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:38,159
can imagine that you would fit quite a large battery in here but I also believe

49
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:43,379
that most of this internal volume is just a down facing driver it's a little

50
00:03:40,739 --> 00:03:47,220
fabric around the outside of it is where that downward facing driver is going to

51
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:52,200
spread the sound out the speaker comes with an app called Sony Music Center and

52
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:55,680
it's already found it I didn't even have to put it in pairing mode I think it's

53
00:03:53,819 --> 00:04:00,180
already started in pairing mode and it's come up here so it wants setup

54
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,840
so let's do the setup there it is we're going to pair with it do you think it'll

55
00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:08,519
Bing that was that was handy it did Bing

56
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:13,560
there we go it's setting complete there we are the

57
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:15,720
lspx-s3 I think Bluetooth initially was

58
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:21,120
not ever designed for high quality audio transmission the new

59
00:04:18,479 --> 00:04:25,620
standards I believe are really pushing for high quality audio and I guess ldac

60
00:04:23,100 --> 00:04:29,160
is a Sony proprietary transmission I see this group with other speakers button

61
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:34,620
which is really exciting because if this had been good I would have absolutely

62
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:39,240
loved to have a pair of them to use them as actual speakers and it looks like it

63
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:43,800
supports that yeah we could glue five or ten of them

64
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:47,580
together I'm sure Sony would enjoy that uh we've got party connect change

65
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:51,720
anywhere to a party room with more powerful sound so I guess you could put

66
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:56,280
30 of them in a room and just murder people with the audio quality but the

67
00:04:53,759 --> 00:04:59,160
stereo connection is what's most exciting in my opinion what makes it so

68
00:04:58,199 --> 00:05:06,120
exciting well because if it's a good speaker they're small they're weighty they feel

69
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:10,979
good it would be nice to have a very simple Bluetooth connected stereo system

70
00:05:08,460 --> 00:05:14,820
that needs no wires the app installed easy didn't make me make an account

71
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:17,820
which I would have just deleted it instantly we've got settings for the

72
00:05:16,500 --> 00:05:22,100
device itself we've got some sound settings it's got a bass boost mode so

73
00:05:19,860 --> 00:05:26,039
you can turn it into a Beats by Dr Dre illumination settings that's right it's

74
00:05:24,479 --> 00:05:32,400
got a light in it so it's got lighting mode

75
00:05:29,820 --> 00:05:36,419
and let's go Candlelight mode romantic mode romantic mode

76
00:05:34,220 --> 00:05:42,120
and we've got flickering we've got delicate middle

77
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:46,560
flickering bright it beeps when you change it

78
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:50,520
linked with music oh we're definitely doing that sleep timer power options

79
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:54,539
Auto standby Bluetooth standpoint I don't care about anywhere yet touch

80
00:05:52,020 --> 00:05:57,900
sensor so I don't know when you fondle it does it like

81
00:05:56,100 --> 00:06:01,860
get annoyed with you because it keeps coming on when I was touching it right

82
00:05:59,220 --> 00:06:04,680
oh that's right there's a little touch bar here that allows you to adjust the

83
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,340
brightness I think it's probably when it's in the other mode

84
00:06:09,139 --> 00:06:16,080
Bluetooth connection quality prioritize sound quality yes we definitely want

85
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:19,979
that are we gonna measure it with our measuring measurer I mean it's

86
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:25,440
intimidating and so are the bananas you go to lttstore.com let's see the glass

87
00:06:22,860 --> 00:06:27,900
2B thing is like well banana if you want to spend extra money you can get them in

88
00:06:26,580 --> 00:06:33,680
a different color from ltdstore.com should we listen to it yeah whew let's

89
00:06:30,840 --> 00:06:33,680
put some crab ready

90
00:06:56,060 --> 00:07:02,520
to drop you stupid

91
00:07:00,259 --> 00:07:06,479
there you go man that's pretty good that's top volume I'm honestly not too

92
00:07:04,919 --> 00:07:10,319
sure where the high band's coming from because when I move it around it's sort

93
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:15,720
of coming from here but the speaker's really midi like there's not enough High

94
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:18,960
Band Whatever they've done with the not

95
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:21,599
plastic tube is not as nice as I was

96
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:24,500
hoping for especially for 350. that's moving in there

97
00:07:24,539 --> 00:07:32,539
oh my God interesting it's like

98
00:07:28,979 --> 00:07:32,539
held in with some sort of

99
00:07:33,319 --> 00:07:39,780
it's a good sound isn't it every screaming does it come off I feel like

100
00:07:38,340 --> 00:07:42,979
this would just break in like six seconds of this however

101
00:07:42,979 --> 00:07:48,370
he's wearing headphones he's dying okay let's get rid of the desk pen and give

102
00:07:46,620 --> 00:07:55,740
her another go

103
00:07:55,740 --> 00:07:58,400
no change

104
00:08:12,199 --> 00:08:19,440
I don't know putting your hand on this because it's supposed to be designed

105
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,699
like this is the Tweeter right

106
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:26,940
it doesn't really change the sound too much it's a 350 Bluetooth speaker it's

107
00:08:24,479 --> 00:08:29,520
sad it's it's kind of sad especially as this is all max volume I would want to

108
00:08:28,740 --> 00:08:34,860
be in physical pain it's pretty though

109
00:08:32,959 --> 00:08:39,979
I don't know I'm gonna try one of my reference songs

110
00:08:36,779 --> 00:08:39,979
that you can't use in the video

111
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,919
foreign

112
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:51,720
well I think I know what's going on at least there's a lot of really low bass

113
00:08:49,860 --> 00:08:55,019
and we can feel that when the table moves and when there's a Kick Drum and

114
00:08:53,700 --> 00:09:03,480
stuff like that but the mid band where this speaker here

115
00:08:59,220 --> 00:09:06,720
is I guess is just weak when the whole

116
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:09,240
song sort of filled out it's just sort

117
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:13,440
of sad it's not enough if I guess full body you know what I

118
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:18,959
mean yeah it's a watered-down beer I'll put it that way does it sound like some

119
00:09:15,060 --> 00:09:21,180
laptop speakers hell no this is very

120
00:09:18,959 --> 00:09:27,540
very good for like a Bluetooth speaker problem is it's 350 bucks I mean 50

121
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:31,080
bucks I would definitely buy one of these for 50 bucks I'm concerned about

122
00:09:29,700 --> 00:09:36,300
this I want to be holding it from here the whole thing is bending I'm picking

123
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:39,000
it up is is super awkward and now I'm pushing all the buttons because they're

124
00:09:37,740 --> 00:09:44,040
here maybe that's why they put them on the bottom I don't know but

125
00:09:41,899 --> 00:09:51,720
you know it too heavy to have this as a plastic I

126
00:09:47,700 --> 00:09:53,820
mean even as a shop even as a glass I

127
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:58,740
think I would be concerned I would really like a way to remove this oh yeah

128
00:09:57,180 --> 00:10:02,100
it's got bass boost mode that might actually fix the whole thing wouldn't it

129
00:10:00,420 --> 00:10:12,270
okay uh should we play it and try changing the sound while

130
00:10:16,459 --> 00:10:24,959
okay that actually sounds a hell of a lot better because the like super low

131
00:10:22,019 --> 00:10:28,620
frequencies are still there but the bass boost mode seems to be adding the ones

132
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:33,120
that I think we're missing instead of just making everything worse like I

133
00:10:30,779 --> 00:10:39,360
really expected let's do a side sweep see if we can hear when it starts then

134
00:10:35,700 --> 00:10:41,040
we can get a perfect idea of exactly so

135
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:45,180
this is just playing a pure sine wave which is like the purest tone that you

136
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:49,620
can do and it's going through the entire frequency spectrum it's logarithmic so

137
00:10:48,180 --> 00:10:54,180
it goes nice and even but the frequency is increasing a lot faster so it started

138
00:10:51,660 --> 00:10:58,980
like 45 so that's really nice and Bassy and what we're listening for when we do

139
00:10:56,279 --> 00:11:04,079
a side sweep is uh the exact same level of volume through the entire frequency

140
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:08,459
range so right now through 45 to about 110 that it's at now it's rising in

141
00:11:07,140 --> 00:11:14,040
volume you can hear that from over there right and now it's getting even louder and

142
00:11:10,980 --> 00:11:17,700
then there was a bit of a dip at 160.

143
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:18,300
and another dip at 180.

144
00:11:17,700 --> 00:11:24,959
1 000 there's a massive dip right there at 1600. those those Highs are good that's

145
00:11:23,279 --> 00:11:27,600
really good so it's got some weakness in the middle I'm not going to take it any

146
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:31,740
higher because we're all going to go goddamn deaf but I would say for 350

147
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:37,680
bucks ah it's such a hard maybe if you had no

148
00:11:34,980 --> 00:11:40,700
music in your place if you had no living room stereo if you had no bookshelf

149
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:44,940
speakers if you didn't have anything besides your phone and you wanted

150
00:11:42,779 --> 00:11:49,800
something to listen to music at a reasonable volume at a reasonable level

151
00:11:46,680 --> 00:11:51,480
of quality I'd say for 350 bucks this

152
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:54,959
would be a really really nice option it's aesthetically pleasing it's not

153
00:11:53,459 --> 00:12:01,760
going to get full of dust and garbage because the top is nicely covered

154
00:11:57,660 --> 00:12:01,760
um seems well built except for

155
00:12:02,959 --> 00:12:10,200
except for that I wouldn't recommend it if you had kids because it's gonna be

156
00:12:07,380 --> 00:12:15,420
broken in like eight seconds the 400 Space is really difficult from the cheap

157
00:12:12,779 --> 00:12:21,660
crap to twenty dollars up to like a hundred dollars or more you also have a

158
00:12:18,300 --> 00:12:23,399
massive massive Market but the 400 range

159
00:12:21,660 --> 00:12:28,440
is sort of where you start to get into good quality products and if you're
