This arrived at the editorial department Air Speaker. Speakers are packaged in a "floating" state contained in a transparent blister.


When opening the package, inside contained the magnet base, speaker body, support holder, Micro-USB charging cable, power adapter, AUX cable, Japanese user manual.


This is the body of Air Speaker.


It is about this size compared with iPhone 5.


ASWY logo on the surface. Because there is gloss, it seems that fingerprints and the like are conspicuous.


When opening the rubber cover on the side of the main unit, the AUX input port and the - USB port were lining up side by side.


There are four buttons on the other side. Power button from the left, hands free / play / pause, volume small button, volume large button.


And this is the magnet base that Kole supports Air Speaker. Air Speaker is a set of speaker body and magnet base.


On the back side there is a power check LED, the size is about larger than iPhone 5 in diameter.


With power jack on the side ... ....


USB port for charging is installed.


There is no power button on the magnet base, the switch enters just by connecting to the power supply. If the power turns on and the LED light is lit in red, you can float the speaker.


The speaker body is also charged from the PC etc using the included USB cable. It is also possible to use a commercially available USB adapter. In addition, it is said that it varies depending on the use situation, but the continuous reproduction time is more than 5 hours.


The Micro-USB port is lit in red while charging. When this blinks and a notification sound is heard, the remaining battery charge has become less than 20%.


Air Speaker is connected to the playback device with a Bluetooth or AUX cable, and this time I will try to make Bluetooth connection with the smartphone. First press and hold the power button on the side of the speaker body to put it in the pairing standby state.


A confirmation beep sounded, the LED of the speaker main body began to blink in red and blue.


When you turn on Bluetooth connection of smartphone ......


Pairpipe sounded and pairing was completed.


The LED light flashing red and blue will light blue.


That is why I will try to float the speaker. The place where the speaker is actually floating can be confirmed from the following movie.

This is the state that the speaker is floating in the air.


The speaker is floating by the force of the magnet, and you can pass a ruler between the speaker and the magnet base just like this.


However, once the position deviates, it will stick to the magnet base "Gachin!" As follows, so let's leave it basically when using it.


Volume and pause etc can be operated from side buttons.


You can see how you are playing music while floating the speaker from the following movie.

Since the magnet is built in the speaker, it can be used in other ways than floating. Try pasting it in a refrigerator, for example ...



Some things could be pasted on a bicycle.


Since AUX cable is also attached, it is possible to connect using a cable, but it is quite difficult to put a cable on a floating speaker, so it is recommended to use it when not floating.


So with Air Speaker putting on desk suddenly comes the atmosphere of the near future, it became an outstanding impact speaker. The suggested retail price is 22,800 yen, the release is in the middle of March. In addition to the black being reviewed this time, red speakers are also planned to be sold.
