today we're going to take a look at a Kickstarter product that is yet to be released and this is the Astro speaker from the company for tree labs ladies and gentlemen welcome back to tech yes city this is brian coming to you guys today with a unique review because i haven't reviewed a portable speaker yet and also i haven't reviewed a product that's yet to be released so today we'll get two birds off in one stone so went relapse asked me if i wanted to take a look at their bluetooth astro speaker I said sure as I was actually in the market for buying a portable speaker however today we'll take a look at what you get in the box we'll take a look at the features of this unit then i will give you guys a listening test and I'll tell you my subjective thoughts and opinions about the astro speaker so as soon as you have the box that comes in recycled packaging with a charger also an auxiliary cable and the unit itself now the unit self takes about two hours to charge up fully or at least in my case it did and I got about 12 hours usage out of this device which was great however looking at what powers this speaker we've got 250 ml neodymium speakers there and also in the middle we've got a rectangular speaker which powers directly for bass also there is no bass port there and this is surrounded in an aluminium casing you also have around that silicon casing as well so this thing is very durable and very sturdy but we'll get on a little bit to that later you also got to the side there aluminium ring hole there which holds the button and then on the top day you've got a power button which is made of aluminium as well and has a light to let you know if it's on or off also holding down the unit for two seconds will turn the unit on with a noise to let you know it's turned off and vice versa to let you know that it's turned off now looking at the dimensions of this unit I managed to measure 202 millimeters by 91 millimeters tall x 41 millimeters thick so quickly back onto the unit itself it has a 10 watt rms amplifier built in also tree labs have made a big point of their pure audio which essentially in their opinion is getting rid of the DS the digital signal processing and giving you guys a more pure audio experience however all that being said it's time to get on to a sound test where it's easy as with this unit just pairing up your smartphone to the device and then you can play any music you want that being said though let's get on to the tests Oh Oh Saul or what can I say about the asterisk big war went real ABS sent me this unit they wanted me to focus on the audio quality though in my opinion it's still lacks base even though the mids and treble are pretty good though I can't expect that out of a portable speaker since it just doesn't have a 10 inch subwoofer built on it though what I will say though is what did impress me about this unit was the build quality I thought it was phenomenal and it survived a massive drop I'll show you guys so it's built like a tank and all in all I really like what they're doing with this unit in terms of the looks and the build quality you can hang it up you can carry it around and you can play it for 12 hours and whatnot with your friends though if you're expecting this to replace your 2.1 or 5.1 surround sound system then I think you may be in the wrong market though I will say all in all I did like this unit I did like the utility of the unit I thought it was great and I thought the voices came out really well though as for a rating I can't really give it a rating as I don't know what the final price exactly is going to be if you can get this unit for a hundred and twenty dollars then I can recommend it though at two hundred dollars I think this is where this unit would start to be getting pretty expensive especially for a portable so I would like to see them release the set one hundred and twenty dollars and I think at that price it would be a massive hit though how does it sound compared to other portables that's probably what you're wondering when I went down to my local electronics store and quickly tested out some portables down there I found that this competed with the bow systems which cost a lot more money so it does a good job so anyway guys that's about it for today if you have any questions about the astro speaker then please leave a comment in the comment section below I'll put the link to the Kickstarter campaign in the description below for you guys and if you like this video please give it a thumbs up and if you haven't already subscribed attack yes city for more news reviews and whatever the tech stuff that's gonna be coming at you guys
