hey everyone Jimmy with Jim's review room try to bring you guys some unique tech to the channel here Oasis or o axis how are we pronounced it's sent me the bento speaker and it isn't like any other speaker that I reviewed on the channel this thing requires no connection at all no Bluetooth no NFC no Wi-Fi and technically no physical court is required the bento uses induction technology and I'll demonstrate this later in the review this thing costs fifty dollars at the time this video click on my links in the video description below to see the most updated prices of course any purchases through my amazon links and does help support the channel now jumping straight into this this speaker is bigger than first thought here but it needs to fit both 5-inch to 5.7 inch phones down here there's simply an induction plate up top with a line to help give you an idea where the phone needs to rest and below the platform is the speaker itself no audio is pumped up 360 degrees and during my testing Auto does come out evenly from all angles now looking below there's a blue LED light to signal when the unit is turned on and rotating to the rear is a microUSB port to charge the bento a three-and-a-half millimeter port for physical connections you would prefer and to the far right is the power on and off switch the bento speaker can last up to six hours from a full battery now the entire unit is plastic and do admit the top plate is oily fingerprint prone but it's simple what doesn't get it clean and last before jumping into the audio performance it says it does work with many smartphones as long as it has a speakerphone but they didn't list what smart phones didn't work I tried this on my LG v10 Nexus 6p Samsung s7 and note 5 plus my sixth generation iPod Touch and all of them worked perfectly fine now all you have to do while music is going place your bottom half of the phone along the line here and move it around slightly to find your sweet spot where audio is at full volume and that's basically it here's a quick sample I haven't seen much marketing for it now you're watching the NBA Finals that they show in commercials for it during the NBA that's kind of when they would show those commercials right I'm trying to remember what about microtransactions we've got a lot of wanna watch LeBron dunk and throw $2 now so after my testing the audio performance for music is really satisfactory you're not getting audio quality like a dedicated Bluetooth speaker however if you need this general audio for a room just have some background noise or so this thing works perfectly fine the quality is good enough where it's not highly distorted or jumbled but you're just not getting that spatial sound or bass boost signature or any kind of emphasised mid ranges and the likes but the loudness is fitting for small areas it's not too loud to film medium to large-sized rooms however if you're using this for more personal purposes or somewhat medium to close proximity it's fine then now they're Amazon page does say this is geared towards those using it for podcast audiobooks teleconferences or a speakerphone for the family I think then it works great in those areas as absolute audio quality isn't required but voices for the information activities that works perfectly fine now again if you're looking for audio quality to have better immersion for music and movies I'd say look elsewhere but if you're just needing audio in general a quick and intuitive method here I'm just setting your phone down and having audio amplified this is a nifty little gadget to have so guys let me know if you're interested in more truly unique gadgets like this here on the channel I'll try to find some more for you guys if you are interested if not just let me know down below as always like and subscribe and follow me on social media you guys take care and you'll see in the next one bye
