Prism type speaker "Sound Blaster Axx SBX 20" which can be connected with a smartphone and can perform a hands-free call with a touch operation Review

It is possible to play stereo sound as if you are placing 2 speakers even though it is a prism but you can also use the phone function etc. of the smartphone with built-in microphoneSound Blaster Axx SBX 20(10,800 yen including tax) ". Since we were able to borrow the prototype ahead of the launch this time, we decided to examine usability while actually touching the petapeta.

Since the package has a handle, take-away is lucky when purchasing at a mass merchandise store.


When I take out the contents and it is like this.


Contents are prismatic speaker body and USB cable, instruction manual, pedestal. The main body size is 109.8 × 97 × 400.2 mm (excluding pedestals), the weight is about 1.9 kg.


Use this pedestal mounted under the prismatic speaker.


Since the rubber feet are attached to the back side, it seems that it will be slippery even if it is placed in a place that was made as a slipper.


I just turn the pedestal and fix it with screws so we do not need tools etc for assembly.


In fact it is like this. Stereo speaker design is adopted and stereo playback is possible with only one speaker.


Because it is compatible with USB power supply, you can use it only by connecting to a PC.


The main body has a micro USB terminal.


Scheduled for direct sales "Creative USB Power Adapter for Sound Blaster Axx For Japan Plug Limited Special Package(1980 yen including tax) "can be used to connect home outlets as well.


A slight angle is attached to the upper part of the rectangular column, and various operations can be performed by an electrostatic touch sensor.


Please check the following movie to see how actually using volume adjustment and mute function is used.
