◆ Exterior review - Package has a handle for carrying.

Open the box ......

Hold the belt out of the box and lift it ... ...

You can see that the packaged body is contained.

The top box was cushioning material to protect the main body.

The contents are like this. In addition to the main body, from the left, it is an attachment for the power adapter, the instruction manual, the brochure in which the notes on use are written, the card in which the contact address etc is stated, the power adapter.

Instruction manual has been devised so that you can set and operate just by looking at sentences.

This is the main body. The speaker part and the main body are integrated, and it is becoming a beautiful form with many curved lines.

The power button is on the right side of the main unit.

Bottom of the handle part is a button doubling as an indicator.

Removing the cap on the back, there was an AUX terminal for connecting the audio cable to the left, and a socket for connecting the power cable to the right.

The attachment for the power adapter is for overseas which has different standards of Japan and power outlet. As confirmed by the manufacturer, it is attached because it is a global model. If you decide to take it overseas, you can use it without problems.

I actually brought this in my hand. The body of about 3.9 kg is heavy heavily, but as the handle of the same mesh material as the speaker part fits the hand, it is hard to slip and I felt it was surprisingly easy to handle.

To charge, disconnect the cap on the back and connect the power adapter ... ...

It is OK if you plug the adapter into an outlet.

Even without operating the buttons on the main unit, it is advantageous only with Bluetooth connection that you can operate with smartphones. In addition to the wireless connection to the smartphone, it also has a large capacity battery that can play for up to 10 hours continuously, so the power cord is unnecessary. Besides, the maximum sound of 60 W is very powerful, so it can be used not only for indoor use but also for outdoor music playing.

It also has IPX5 compliant waterproof performance. It can not be submerged or used in a bath, but it can be used without problems even if it rains suddenly during use outdoors or if it suddenly becomes watery. Looking at the following movie, you can confirm that the sound is coming out without problems even if water is actually played while playing the music.
