hey everyone Jimmy with Jim's review room a few asked me to review something more budget-friendly items on the channel as I do admit some of these stuff that you do see here can be very expensive and although I review expensive stuff I do love it when I do find underrated items that are much cheaper than the competition what I have here is the anchor premium bluetooth speaker it's the model number a 3143 off of Amazon and it's priced at just $60 you can always click on the link in the video description below just to see what the most updated prices are so without further ado my channel is here to help you make a purchase decision welcome everyone to jim's review getting right into this the anchor is 8.3 inches long 2.4 inches tall and 2.4 inches from front to back it's slightly bigger than the Bose Soundlink mini to having this fall into the mid-size category of speakers the front figure is something you'd normally don't see on Bluetooth speakers here it's a fabric lined front grille which is different and pretty original behind the grille it is solid and so is the entire unit it's built very well and everything is assembled tight with nothing cracking or flexing with the plastics as for the aesthetics and the materials you do feel the price being reflected here besides the glossy black piano finish which is heavily fingerprint prone the Bunz gives this eerie plastic feel impressed it is not as tactile or clicky as you'd hope regarding the buttons you have a power on with pairing button when held down playing pause and you can skip songs with volume up and down as well rotating to the right side there's a three-and-a-half millimeter port for physically connecting your audio source and right below that is a microUSB port for charging the device there isn't an AC adapter which is perfectly fine to me since everyone these days does have a phone charger so so this really came in handy regarding battery life anger is claiming up to eight hours of music during my standard testing with all my Bluetooth speakers leaving this at 50% vibe from a full battery to dead I was able to achieve seven hours in 43 minutes comparing to other small and mid-range sized speakers this is a bit on the low end for today's standard rotating to the rear there's a passive radiator and to the left side is absent of any additional features more ports regarding wireless range this performs as well as most other Bluetooth speakers on the market with me leaving this on one side of the house and walking downstairs to the other side about 40 linear feet through several walls the connection remain intact so overall that's it for this speaker it's only $60 and I wasn't expecting to be answered through any additional features like NFC or doubling up but the speaker really just keeps it simple with just providing audio but how does it sound I'll play several samples for you guys and then give you my verdict afterwards they're sleeping on my own cause if you like the way you look that much oh baby you should go and love yourself you think that I'm still holdin on to somethin you should all in love y'all and there you have it folks now sound of course recorded on my end and then played through your speakers not the best depiction of audio quality but hence my review hear the sound quality obviously doesn't compare to a three-dollar speaker like the JBL extremer bose soundlink 3 but at just $60 it's a lot of bang for your buck in the audio department these do have some bass to it and for a 60 dollar speaker it's more bass than most small bluetooth speakers like the ue role or JBL foot 3 at higher volumes though there is some slight distortion for bass heavy music but again keeping price in mind it's not bad at all the mid-range where you hear most of your vocals is neutral not bright or underwhelming and surprisingly clear for me and my experience the mid-range was done well as for the high range high-hat cymbal crashes snare drums there's slight distortion when you do have I'm normally 80 percent or so and higher with the more expensive speakers like the Sony ex 33 or the JBL charge 2 plus having volume higher to fill up a room or for entertaining purposes you can stay in that room for a good bit of time with the high notes on the anchor though they are slightly distorted and at times harsh on certain songs now this did cause some listening fatigue where I had to rub my ears after a while listening add more personal levels listening levels that is the anchor was perfectly fine regarding soundstage like most Bluetooth speakers is not as apparent in sound separation is pretty minimal as well but that comes to be expected with Bluetooth speakers in general regarding loudness I found this suitable for small to mid-size rooms with large rooms losing some of its audio immersion now so overall from my experience despite having a little trouble at the very high volumes and more importantly keeping in mind this is still a $60 speaker this performs really well audio quality wise it didn't perform as well as the JBL charge 2 plus or they both sound like many too but this sounds to perform more closely with the hundred dollar speakers like the JBL flip 3 which is still great considering Ankur's price points i would say if you're considering a budget-friendly speaker this is still worth a consideration after you look at how the aesthetics looks to you so that's it for this review be sure to LIKE and subscribe if you haven't make sure to add me gems review on to Facebook Twitter and/or Instagram as always my channel is
