In order to enjoy a powerful sound on a TV or PC, there is a way to use a 2.1ch speaker with two Woofer and two speakers set, but a 2.1ch speaker that can connect Bluetooth with a low price of only 4000 yen units is Creative's "T3150"is. Speakers and other acoustic equipments are endless from expense to pinch to seek performance, but I tried using it for a while at actually getting what we can use with a low price speaker.

Prior to purchasing "T3150", Creative's 2.1ch speaker for PC, TV, and mobile device music applications "SBS A 120"Although I was satisfied with the sound quality at a low price of about 2000 yen, connection is only the audio cable. Because it was troublesome to replace the cable for each device that outputs sound, I searched for "I do not have a high COSPA wireless speaker?"

The point which I emphasized in choosing the speaker is as follows and it has arrived at "T3150" as a speaker that meets the conditions.
· The price is 5000 yen or less
· Bluetooth connection possible
· Smartphone · tablet · TV · PC used for wired use, PC also has a wired connection


The goods arrived like this.


On the reverse side there are explanations in English, Japanese, Chinese, German, Korean and multinational languages.


Instant opening.


The contents are subwoofer · speaker × 2 · wired remote control.


Subwoofer size is 18.4 × 22.5 × 19 cm, weight is about 1.9 kg and compact. There is a bass reflex port in the front, AC power cable, wired remote control, audio terminal extends from behind.


Since the speaker unit is on the bottom surface, it can be installed without worrying about the direction.


side


back. Wood is used as the material of the subwoofer.


There is a pairing button of Bluetooth on the back and a speaker jack inserting the terminal of the attached speaker.


Then two speakers. The size is about 7.5 × 15 × 9 cm, the weight is about 0.23 kg. Since the speaker of SBS A 120 which I used before was 232 g one, I was surprised at the lightness when I got it in my hand.


Mesh cloth is pasted on the front. Because it is comparatively thin, be careful not to break it by hitting something.


Since the seal of "R" "L" is affixed to the back, you can see the left and right immediately when installing the speaker. Wood and plastic are used as the material.


There is a slip on the bottom, there is also a groove to store the cable so it can be installed flat.


So setting started. First of all connect the terminals of the two speakers to the speaker jack on the back of the subwoofer. The speakers of SBS A 120 have independent terminals one by one, but the terminals of T3150 are grouped together.


There is no power switch, but turn on the power by inserting the power plug and turning the volume of the remote control. When turning off the power it will minimize the volume.


To start Bluetooth connection, just press and hold the pairing button on the back for 2 seconds. If it succeeds, an electronic sound flows, but if the volume is too small, you may miss it. When the remote control starts flashing, pairing becomes possible and when wirelessly connected to the equipment it blinks once every 2 seconds. You can see the pairing setting in the following movie.

When preparation is completed, I immediately tried connecting Bluetooth with iPhone 5s. The time lag is not felt in particular, and it depends on the output of the subwoofer, so it is necessary to pay attention to the volume downstairs in multi-family houses, the bass sounds firmly and you can enjoy a powerful sound. However, when power is on, when you listen carefully in a quiet place, you hear slightly heard the sound like "Sir ..." from the subwoofer.


As a result of having several editorial staffs cooperate and listening to the same song by wired & wireless connection, the opinion that "wired one feels more powerful sound" mostly. Also, there was an opinion that "When considering from the price, the sound is coming out so firmly that it is enough enough." SBS A 120 was a surprising sound quality considering the price of about 2000 yen, but I felt that the difference in sound quality with T3150 was almost the same.


Even when you enjoy movies on iPad, it is refreshing because there is no cable. At the same time, only one Bluetooth device can be connected, switching to another device can be done by turning off the Bluetooth of the connected device. On the other hand, wired connection and Bluetooth connection can be output at the same time. Also, since the Bluetooth button is only on the back of the subwoofer, it may be a little troublesome to have to turn on again with the Bluetooth button after turning off the power.


Connection with Bluetooth compatible PC is also a problem. When I used it for a while for a while, I switched the audio terminal to the PC as when browsing or doing work until now, the smartphone when listening to music, the TV when watching movies, switched to T3150 Since it is possible to connect the Bluetooth device such as a PC or iPhone as necessary by leaving the audio terminal on the TV after it has been released, it was released completely from "replacing the terminal".


Of course it's not as tall as the high-end model, but it's enough to think about the price, so it's recommended for those who say "I want a wireless speaker for the time being"! In addition, the Amazon price of the article writing "T3150" is 4790 yen including tax.
