BenQ Trevolo 2 Portable Electrostatic Speaker - sound demo

2019-01-28
hi you were just listening to the new bank you'll travel to electrostatic portable speaker after the old bank a pure water which I've reviewed some years ago also they're smaller make you travel OS this is the newest release from them and it has some nice new features like - therapy with another one they're also claiming to have improved bass response improved sound although that acoustic design still more is the same with two dynamic drivers to electrostatic panels that you can flip in for transport so it's smaller or free ball for this multi rate magic sound also comes with this nice optional stance you can really aim it at you because electrostatic panels are quite directional and I thought we will take a more detailed listen compared against a more ordinary dynamics become this is that tribute make sound class but keep in mind this is only 55 or 56 dollars why this around three hundred dollars so we will see if the electrostatic technology has some advantage here I will put this away and create my head cam for this emergency first person view and sound of course you should listen with headphones if you haven't put them up already please do now and let's have a listen we will listen to a single one now is a stereo setup with two is already around $600 so 10 times the price of the trivet a little bit unfair and I set them up like this so we can sit exactly centered I will play some music starting with the banker traveler tune and the first thing you notice is that volume is not in sync so you have to increase volume to make small the speaker to have the entire volume range from here and Bank you claims it to be perfect for acoustic high-quality recording so let's listen to something a little bit more jazzy maybe there are three different sound modes this is pure this is warm you can see it flashes red blue is vivid I think but the difference is not huge this Bulls treble this is again pure and you can hear it's quite directional I will switch over to the trivet you can hear the banker has more emphasis on the upper mids but it's not necessarily flat sounding the trivet is completely flat has a flat response while this sounds a little strange let's write this track and as soon as you move out of the sweet spot in spite the stand here it's still quite directional and to be lost all treble now although it also plays to the back you get the best sound exactly on axis so have to get really gets down like this nigga at ribbit here this nozzle but it's not necessarily more detailed or somehow faster and all that travel was this definition when I move around so it sit like this attribute maybe this it's also directional but are not as strong and you can hear that bass is just some other bass so something we follow there's also a nice our FIFA bass despite being remedy one won't Curtis sighs so I'm not impressed change my sony this is the problem here this is warm this is Phoebe this one's my balance and let assembly it's messy we also hear way more dynamic you can hear all attacks while the bank you somehow and swallows them the hypostatic panels cannot reproduce those attacks I will switch again to pure which is their standard setting itself despite the stand and helps to get down like this for so that private sounds way modified without any electrostatic moodle going around here it sounds weird to me maybe this listen to some more modern politician on top volume while here we are tonight so let's hear what happens if increase volume this is the wave all up oh boy what is some distortion at the base is just droning so I'm really not quite sure where the advantage of this electrostatic technology should be here I'm disappointed and you could hear it as well this ordinary cheap Chinese speaker completely outperform the electrostatic one so I'm not quite sure where the advantage of this electrostatic technology should be on the contrary it's quite directional so you really have to listen exactly Onix is to get the best sound and even then it was not perfect it had some issues with dynamics reproduction it cannot reproduce as transients well there is some dynamics processing in reality it's not an acro static but an electric speaker an electrostatic spectrum would need an external high power source to be applied to the panel where here the electric source is already within the speaker so it's not an electrostatic but an electric one but yeah the opposite of an electret microphone but this doesn't work for a speaker you could hear it has some issues it can't play loud and the tire levers there is some compression so I'm quite underwhelmed to telephone I even think that the first one sounded better although it didn't have that great bass that electrostatic panel had some nice resolution sunrise magic why this one somehow lost it you can of course compare it for my databases included the first Thank You Tripoli tetravaal honest and the traveler tool I only recorded it with the normal what is it pure Sun setting the other ones phone service sound right vivid is way too harsh while warm is to muffled and you could hear or you would hear that the first one I think even the traveler s sounds somehow more convincing but the whole concept is flawed in my opinion it's not an electrostatic speaker but an electret one I mean am i an electret microphone works well but you cannot transform this into a speaker so it's a little bit of air yeah wrong wrong approach I would say and even I mean look at the size of the speaker it's nearly the size of a FIFA stinky and it still cannot reproduce wheelbase I mean this at electrostatic panels they are quite small but inside here this is still way bigger than this and this is much nicer base so I'm not sure why Bank you cannot at least produce some real bass some nice bass battery base you would hear it hilarious it was just some droning and a distorted one so yeah I didn't even bother to measure it but you could hear too much upper base also too much upper mids it's not easy to measure it probably have to measure only the panels or outside out to us from some distance but the trivet which is the completely flat response yes sound it also when I survey my natural so this is my take on the treble of to I think it's even worse than the first one although maybe bassist improved slightly its overall yes dead back what I would say yeah feature is nice but who would pay $600 for two of them I'm not sure design-wise of course quite unique so they look like some structure they would look nice in some some lawyer's office stainable desk also with this golden ring here I think it looks very nice but the sound is just not worth it you can get much better software $56.00 let alone from speak like that they don't I didn't want to include the denim because the denim would completely blow this away so I took this cheap speaker here which is still one of the best in this class in this anybody here it's way way better than the electrostatic magic speaker whatever yet check it through my check it out from a database compare it to some others because to the old one to the treble s they also somehow different I still think the first one despite some dynamic issues which is born to the volume to the same volume control so now they got rid of this simple control but there is still something exposition you can especially do it with the first read the hi-hats have some strange kind of of reverb which is not included in the recording compare it against some other speaker then on variety will hear that the traveler pool sounds yeah make something completely different out of this trap yeah I hope this was helpful anyhow thanks all for watching until the next video bye
