ENOD Theia - soundcheck

2017-01-11
hi everyone and welcome the first speaker this year we will have a look at is they e not via via some Greek goddess or Titan or the protoplanet which crashed into the earth and formed the moon later on we can see it on Amazon for $58 its ipx7 rated so completely waterproof up to one meter for 30 minutes it has 5 watts and it can even work as power bank so we have the inputs or outputs yield let's look at the packaging yeah via this was yeah this because inside here I think there is also some carrying loop inside here even some carrying that everything falls out so what's this this is their carrying no not sure how to mount it but maybe this is yeah this is their screw with it what is for here we have also some tripod mount yeah maybe there maybe it's not like I don't know I have really no idea I haven't even tried it a USB wire to charge it through micro USB and yeah of course we would like to know how it sounds so let's turn it on first and there are some interesting welcome tones it should connect to my phone and the volume is not synced on between speaker yeah this is the confirmation tone that it's paired so I have to increase volume to maximum here to have the entire volume range and before having a listen maybe let's check out some frequency response measurement and you can see well nothing that special there is some obvious treble peak below 8 kilohertz which makes the sound a little bit harsh maybe based also already at 200 Hertz but there is some deeper response even down below 60 Hertz unfortunately the bass level is not kept highest through some DSP so the sound always remains a little bit tinny except at higher levels where the speaker really starts to pack some punch and it can play really really loud so you I thought we will check it out how it sounds yeah it's designed to be a more omnidirectional speaker you can see there are some feet below so you can place it like this but thanks to the Pasiphae tur here it will vibrate a lot so you will definitely hear some rattling when it's placed on a table let's start with the first track as always I'm using binaural microphone so you should listen with headphones you can hear this peak at around 7 8 you know head and fell is also in the directional another speaker I have here is the Omega m4 or is it the m5 m4 also rattles a little bit because the Pacific that here is hidden inside but we can compare how these two sound may be so I'm starting again with day you know no makeup they tests a slide well emphasis but I think it's also with this better not as full as their inner fear but simply more pleasant this is the typical boost you get here when you boost because it's below ten kilos if nothing else you can try placing the maybe tablet there is hardly any trouble loss from the Omega it feels sounds okay while you can hear some vibration and I think it sounds better as a more directional speaker but we can finally the maximum loudness and I will try this trick I will stand up as the keynote P is really really loud so increasing volume to maximum we can be a no distortion from my face with as many Omega L so at maximum maybe let's try the taotronics pass X that pass X is quite a bit larger but also cheaper than ve not via so maybe not a fair comparison but for nearly half the price it could be still an interesting contender also pretty loud so let's check out these to compare I will start with a track from savasana and again they interfere first so please have a listen you can also hear that the very first fraction of the song is always cut off at the beginning there seems to be some some noise gate also at low levels there is definitely some some slight amount of peace you can definitely hear it here and it will become cut off when yeah when the music stops so the very first second of a song is always a bit missing I will switch over to the perfect it appears slightly more muffled maybe hasn't hit this from peak but sounds also fuller and some terrific yet she from happening let's run our track the not that direction is simply missing any trouble because there is no parables nothing but this sounds quite keen compared for volver alcoholics is not really a very speaker I will stand up again and let's check the net maximum lady so this is there how tronics now yeah I will have to increase the unit yet if a chronic sis or at least it appears faster but the fear doesn't have any base so it's really loud if you need loudness and we have to annoy your surrounding of course it might be nice but it doesn't have any any real punch so it sounds best I would say it around maybe 90% but if you crank it up higher the base gets lost a little bit so yeah the Optronics despite not being as loud I think sounds more convincing so that you know Thea is definitely an interesting speakers it's so loud so if you need this loudness outdoors and so on it could be a nice choice but it would need a little bit more of refinement this strange peak at around 7 8 kilohertz should be toned down also upper treble is slightly missing especially of exes yeah also for low levels doesn't sound really that convincing I mean any other cheaper speaker like the Xiaomi me sounds better than this but it's loud rugged and and waterproof yeah it has some punch especially here when you put it closer to your ear also the welcome tones are really really bass heavy I will turn it off and you will hear it so yeah there is some bass but it would have neat need to be kept high with some DSP some some active equalization yeah not sure what to say about it for my own use or taste or whatever I'm not an impressed I would be impressed if it didn't have any hiss for all levels also if there was some dynamic bass boost as it can really play now it has some potential but it's not really it's not used to to you to the limits let's say so for my own personal use it's not that great but I'm sure many others will like it as it sold out and I know that many always SK which is the loudest and this is small and loud so you could maybe like it yeah coming up next are some other new speakers just released so stay tuned for more until then have a nice time and see you then
