hey everyone Jimmy with Jim's review room welcome back to another one of my reviews today we're taking a look at a budget-friendly Bluetooth speaker this is the Zen breezy floor that I picked off of Amazon this is priced at $40 retail as always a place my links that in that video description below as you never know when these things might go on so I don't think it's gonna get any cheaper than this to be honest with you guys as always I'm Jimmy with James Revere and I'm here to help you make that purchase decision welcome everyone to another review guard over the physical features the reason why I picked this up was because it looked very similar to JBL flip 4 it's the same nylon braided fabric grill on the front this isn't water submersible which is very unfortunate but again you're only paying $40 this at least has ipx4 rating which means that you can splash the crap out of this thing we did test it here at the office with our spray bottle as you guys can see in video we're spraying the crap it on this thing and it's still functioning perfectly fine now on the website it doesn't mention if it's drop resistant or so I do notice that it uses some sort of silicone or rubber that goes over two buttons and of course the top and the bottom I do want to mention it's a very hard silicone that is compared to you some of the other Bluetooth speakers on the market grant it again it's only $40 it doesn't claim that strap resistance but just having something little bit more beefier maybe a little bit softer to absorb the impact would have given me a little bit more peace of mind now moving out looking at the buttons here we've got power we got pause and play we got vine up and down pretty casual pretty usual now the vibe up and down if you double tap and you can skip and go back on songs and for the pause and play if you do hold that down you can actually pair two of these Zen brain z4 speakers together and have them play in stereo separation the stereo sound and I'll demonstrate that pretty shortly for you guys but going back out here the only thing that I found missing in regards to features there's no NFC and also with these buttons here there's no Google assistant or Syria which was kind of a bummer here they have said many times on a channel we're heading more towards these voice assistant speakers we don't get that here now under this flap we have a 3.5 millimeter port for physical connections which is great and we do have a micro USB 2.0 ports for charging the device now under website Lee claimed 3-2 ours are fully charged this thing better life and their website and this is all over the place they're claiming 12 to 14 hours I believe I look in your user manual it was claiming 20 plus hours as always on this channel just to help you guys out here within test is at 50% Environment and we got 21 hours in 27 minutes right on the dot not too bad at all again for just $40 now moving on we did test phone calls on this phone calls were absolutely horrible unfortunately standing about three feet away from the speaker it was somewhat audible but once you step out of that three foot range four feet five feet and on the microphone sensitivity is very low you can barely hear anyone out and I did test this on two different speakers two different phones and confirm that it did not work on either or in other situations now jumping into bluetooth we did test this this has bluetooth 4.1 bluetooth 4.0 and up is still good in my personal book here it's still good for the average consumer this claims up to 33 linear feets who we tested here in the office I left the speaker back there walked outside the hallway here and we're still able to hear music all the way up to 77 linear feet and that's with my phone going through two walls and again in a commercial setting a commercial building basically we did test this on the iPhone 10 and also these Samsung s 8 plus so let's get to the audio test as always put out your headphones and earphones so you get the best audio experience be sure to LIKE and subscribe down below to help support this channel and to help support my work and as always put some fire emojis in the comment section alright folks here we go alright folks make sure you guys have your headphones or earphones on and I'll be using some binder or microphones give you guys a 3d audio experience here it goes drinking all right folks hopefully you guys enjoyed that audio experience jump right into this if I can compare this figure with another more mainstream Bluetooth speaker on the market this sounds more like a Yui product like the ultimate ears boom or so the reason why I say that is just like the Yui speakers this does not have bass it's not deep it's not resonating it doesn't help what genres of like hip hop and rap EDM a lot of 808 beats it doesn't get that deep and resonating thump going but like the Yui speakers at least isn't that raspy it's not droning into the mid-range it's not poor quality basically now in regards to loudness this is more for a small room I would even say even for a medium sized room blasting this at 50% vom it was very low in my personal opinion putting this up to 75% vom it gets to the point worth more casual listening and then at 100% vom that's when it's loud enough again just for a small room where I would see this fitting in the average consumer lifestyle is again putting this in the bathroom maybe in a small bedroom dorm room perfect having this in your garage to have music play in the background or so something that your kids would play with then it would be perfectly fine there but if you guys are looking for some really big explosive sound for medium to large size rooms I would look elsewhere but then again you're paying for a lot more for $40.00 this is not bad for that college student or again just small confined areas now jumping into the mid-range this is where the human ear hears a lot of instruments vocal detail fidelity resolution do we get that here unfortunately not and again I'm not expecting that because this is a speaker that's under $100 but we do get a very acceptable amount of audio that can be used for casual listening this is where the z4 shines and again with that price this is where I would justify a purchase now as I stated earlier if you really want to jam out for a small room that is and you blast this up to 100% in volume the trebles the hype frequency's this is where I start to lose a little bit of detail you do lose a lot of that resolution and they very tap-in way it just doesn't sound crisp I guess you can say you're sharp and just hearing those little minor details of like cymbal crashes sneer jumps and such does help with the immersion you just don't get that here what I would say is II for a while is from Zen break it's more for casual listening back up Bluetooth speaker have us in the back of your room back of your car maybe something for just general use so again
