a.m.p SP1 Portable Bluetooth Speaker (Black)
Customer Reviews:* This speaker is great! The sound is loud and very clear. I get about 8 hours of playtime out of the unit which outlasts my iPhone and iPad. The build quality is very good as it feels solid. The rubber that encases the speaker seems like it would also protect it from a few accidental drops as well. I've taken the speaker to work, my garage, on weekend trips, near the shower, in the backyard, and I have even strapped it on my bicycle so I could blast my music while riding--perfect! Everywhere I go, I can play my "theme song" as I walk around.You can also use this for making a cellphone call as the speaker has a mic! It was easy connecting my phone and making a call. Again the sound is clear and my friends can hear me very good. I've used this feature when resting the speaker on my desk or conference table.My friend has the Jawbone Jambox and spent $200 for his. When the two speakers side by side, the Antec SP1 sounded louder and was very clear--at half the price! I'm definitely going to get the white/pink one for my gf for her birthday or for Christmas-I haven't decided yet. * The a.m.p (antec mobile products) SP1 Portable Bluetooth Speaker is one of those electronic devices that I can't live without. First, it was easy to pair with my Apple iPhone 4. I simply followed the instructions in the SP1 Speaker's user manual. I pressed and held the center button on the top of the speaker for six to eight seconds and "SP1" automatically appeared in the iPhone's list of devices under Settings/Bluetooth. Now, whenever I switch the speaker to the "on" position, my iPhone immediately recognizes it. I can listen to my music and movies while I am cleaning my apartment, eating, exercising, etc.The SP1 Speaker is extremely portable. It arrived in a transparent, plastic container and I keep it in this for added protection whenever I take it to the clubhouse at my apartment complex, my church, or to the shipyard where I work. The speaker fits easily inside my JanSport backpack (JanSport Spring Break Classics Series Daypack). The speaker is too big to carry inside the pocket of my pants or jacket. (Sometimes I hold it tightly in my hand when I am walking short distances.) I can't wait until the weather is warm and I can take it to the clubhouse's swimming pool.The sound is wonderful. It is clear indoors and outdoors and has a range of thirty feet. I have listened to the SP1 Speaker while I was reading and relaxing inside the gazebo behind my apartment building. It never stuttered or faltered like some wireless headphones do when you wear them outdoors while exercising. You can turn the volume up or down by pressing the "+" or "-" buttons. For optimum sound, the speaker should be fully charged and the iPhone placed close to it. If someone calls while I am listening to my music, the music will stop playing; I simply press the center button and lean in close to the speaker in order to clearly understand what my caller is saying to me. Pressing the center button again will end the call and the music will resume.The LED indicator on the power switch, when turned to the "On" position, will indicate by its color the status of the speaker's battery and operation: (1) Flashing Red: Low Battery; (2) Alternating Red and White: Charging; (3) Solid White: Fully Charged; and (4) Flashing White: Pairing Mode. All this is explained in the user manual. If the manual becomes lost, don't worry. You can download a copy from the Antec Store website. Google or Yahoo "Antec Store" and do a search for "SP1." There is also a fun video on the website that depicts its various usages indoors.I have been using my a.m.p SP1 Portable Bluetooth Speaker nearly every day for almost four months. I have a habit of charging it every second or third day. It hasn't given me any problems. The color of my SP1 Speaker is white but it comes in two other colors: forest green and magma black. (I like the black best.) Because of its ease of use and portability and the high quality of its sound, I strongly recommend the SP1 Speaker for those who travel extensively, enjoy relaxing outdoors, or simply want a portable speaker for listening to music while having a romantic dinner. It is also great to have around for an impromptu party.Note: I received conflicting instructions about the initial charging of the SP1 Speaker. The user manual states that the speaker ships pre-charged; initial charging is recommended but not necessary. A separate slip of paper, with the diagram of a battery, require the user to fully charge the speaker prior to initial usage. To be on the safe side, I fully charged the speaker before I paired it with my Apple iPhone 4. In fact, I have made it a habit of charging ALL my electronic devices before using them for the first time.Joseph B. Hoyos
