Hello!
I hope that with the purchase of this product, finally, the issue of equipping my bike
with portable bluetooth acoustics will be solved.
Have urged to unpack!
It took 15 days to get to Minsk this goods through Azerbaijan.
And thank you to the seller for having understated the estimate to almost $ 18,
provided that this product costs $ 37.44.
And today at us on unpacking and a review here such
bluetooth-speaker from company "Venstar", model S404.
The Bluetooth speaker for the bike comes in such a dense cardboard box.
All in film, brand new from the store. We open it.
Elegant packaging. Even to give it is not a pity to itself.
And remove the film.
Wow! How huge it is! And so, in the kit ...
Warranty card from the manufacturer,
the instruction in English, and what is surprising, in German,
is pretty detailed, in the setup, with illustrations.
Of course, I will certainly study it in great detail, because
there are hidden functions here, some buttons have
a dual purpose. Plastic fastening.
This is the part that is attached to the steering wheel, also plastic.
Key and 2 screws for attaching the mount.
A metal carbine.
Minijack-microUSB cable for AUX-input.
Also USB-microUSB charging cable.
2 clamps, console, or as it is called, a controller.
It is attached with Velcro to the steering wheel closer to the flu.
Here is a cord in a fabric braid and a minijack.
And of course the speaker himself. It's gigantic and looks gorgeous!
That's it, not a poor kit.
All cables from the kit: this one, this one, and even a cord to the control panel about 1 m in length.
The speaker is overall, 93 mm long, and 70x65 mm in cross section.
Loudspeaker grilles with perforation. They are made of plastic. They are modeled S404 and the designation that it is
a bluetooth bike speaker.
The speaker is covered with gray rubber.
And here, the model of dynamics, the charge voltage of 5V, 1A,
the fact that it is produced in China, as well as the official site of the manufacturer are engraved with embossing.
This speaker combines several functions.
In addition to being a bluetooth speaker, it also has a built-in radio with a built-in antenna, that is,
an external antenna is not required here.
There is also an mp3 player, that is, playback from an external storage device, more precisely from a microSD card
and a Handsfree function, there is a button for answering a call,
and also a bicycle call for signaling when driving.
On the left side of the controls in the front there is a metal nut for attaching
the complete carbine.
It is used when wearing, for example, a column in a hike on a belt or a backpack.
On the right side under the rubber protective cover there are connectors:
microUSB for AUX-input and for charging the built-in battery,
indication LED,
microSD card slot
and minijack input for connecting the control panel.
The case of the bluetooth-speaker is rubberized, it is waterproof, it can be used of course in the rain,
but it is recommended after wiping off the rain zone,
wipe dry with a napkin.
Unscrewing the 3 screws with a thin hexagonal key,
removing this plastic strap,
found that under the rubber bicycle speaker is plastic.
By the way, here, you will see, here is this radio antenna, an ordinary copper wire.
Lattices on the speakers are also made of plastic and fixed with the help of latches.
2 screws on each side. Plastic grid on the speakers,
or rather, the side faces of the body.
I shoot and here I find small speakers.
It's like a coaxial one, here's one rubber suspension and here's the second one.
The inner diameter is 25 mm, and the outer diameter is 40 mm.
On the reverse side of the same speaker.
Well, here are the control buttons under the rubber.
I will not disassemble further, because there is a management board and that's it.
I watched one of the videos, there is a complete disassembly. Installed 2 mounting boards
of amplifiers, but the truth here is not a stereo amplifier, it's mono, they are paralleled.
Indeed, it is completely plastic, two-tone plastic.
The only metal part is this hook for the carbine.
To fix the speaker on the steering wheel, we use a complete fixing on the steering wheel.
This is a standard plastic bottle mount.
It is fixed on the handlebar with complete screws with nuts and with the help of this hex key.
Dimensions of the speaker are not very modest, so when mounted on the steering wheel it looks very cumbersome,
but in this case, all playback control buttons,
as well as a bicycle call are available.
Using plastic complete ties
allows you to mount the speaker anywhere in the bicycle frame, but the mount is unreliable,
the speaker hangs.
Optimal for a solution I chose to mount the speaker in place of the bicycle bottle,
although in this case it is somewhat difficult to control the volume,
but all the main functions of the speaker can be controlled from an external complete remote.
This rubber protective cover, covering the interface,
has a separate section, which can be bent and used by
the connector from the external control panel.
The remote is mounted on the steering wheel near the grips.
Right-handed is generally convenient, as the bicycle control button is located just under your thumb.
And the remote is attached with a sticky tape.
You can easily change its position.
It still looks so tolerably, if you swap the DVR and bicycle speaker.
The inclusion of a bicycle speaker is carried out by the combined button "Power / Mode".
Long press includes.
To control the bike speaker on its top there are 6 buttons.
The first button is a bicycle call.
A short or long press is a signal.
Double click to switch signal type.
The bell signal is triggered in any mode of operation of this speaker.
The purpose of the next two arrow buttons is to adjust the volume and switch tracks.
Very multifunctional button "Play / Pause".
Its main purpose is to enable playback, pause and enable / disable voice prompts.
In the mode of Bluetooth connection or playback from a microSD card,
this button is responsible for pause and further playback.
A long press on this button switches the folders on the microSD card.
In the FM radio mode or connecting an external source via * microUSB,
this button is responsible for muting sound and further restore volume.
A long press on this button provides an automatic search for radio stations.
At the same time, the LED starts flashing like this.
The voice prompts are controlled
at the first moment, when the bicycle loudspeaker is turned on, when another bluetooth device is not connected.
If the bluetooth device is automatically connected, you need to break this connection.
Next, we hold down the "Play / Pause" button,
the voice prompts are turned off. Now, when switching modes,
we hear only a sound signal.
To restore the voice prompts, you need to hold down this button again.
I check.
A short press on the "Mode" button switches the source.
If this button is held for longer than 8 s, then the speaker is reset to the factory settings.
The latter, also a multifunctional button
with a handset, is the answer or the end of a telephone call.
It works if the smartphone via bluetooth is connected to this speaker.
To answer an incoming call in any mode, you need to press this button once.
To stop the negotiations, at the end of the conversation also press this button.
To end a call in any mode, you must long press this button.
Double click on this button will dial the last called party.
In bluetooth mode, a long press on this button
ensures that the bluetooth connection is disconnected.
Here, on the top, there is also a single LED indicator
of such a blue glow.
For conducting telephone conversations there is a built-in microphone in this hole.
Similar to the control buttons on the speaker itself,
the control buttons on the remote control also have dual functions.
A single click on the bike bell button will cycle the bike.
Long hold is a long cycle signal.
Double short-click on this button allows you to change the signal itself.
The "Play / Pause / Lift the Tube" button in different modes behaves differently.
In playback mode, this button is responsible for the pause / play modes.
In playback mode from a microSD card,
a long press on this button changes the folder, or more precisely, the directory on this microSD card.
Double-click to select the playback source:
microSD card,
FM radio,
bluetooth device.
The leftmost third button is the rewind of tracks forwards or backwards.
Pressing once is the next track.
Long hold is the previous track.
Also, this remote has a microphone, that is, when using it,
your voice will come to the subscriber from this microphone.
The attached instruction mistakenly states that when a remote control panel is connected,
all control is exercised only from the control panel.
That is, these buttons should not work, but it is not.
Here you can switch tracks and modes of operation.
Also here you can do the same.
The only moment, the volume of playback, we can only control the buttons from the top of the speaker.
There are no such buttons on the remote.
This is a multifunctional device, and to get
acquainted with all the features of this bluetooth speaker, I recommend
reading this instruction.
For example, if you connect bluetooth, then in some devices you may have to enter
the password 0000, as indicated here.
The speaker has 3 modes - 3 signal sources.
When held - the inclusion of this speaker turns on the first mode - this is the bluetooth mode.
The speaker pronounces all modes in English.
The speaker goes into pairing mode, the blue LED flashes.
The Bluetooth speaker "Venstar S404" is equipped with a 4.0 + EDR bluetooth module,
that is, it is a protocol that speeds up a bluetooth connection somewhat.
Among bluetooth devices, we detect "VENSTAR S404", connect to it.
Such a special sound signal - the speaker is connected.
The second mode, when you click on this button, is playback from a TF card.
When a microSD card is connected in this way,
the formats mp3, wma, wav, ape, flac are supported,
this mode is automatically turned on,
and playback starts from the memory card.
Only music files and FAT32 and exFAT file systems are supported. NTFS is not supported.
Some users will be important.
There is such a moment that when playing from a memory card of a track,
when you turn off
and then turn on the speaker, again we select the TF card mode,
playback starts from the stop, not from the beginning of the track.
I understand that this moment is important to those who listen through the speaker of an audiobook.
And the third mode is FM radio.
To tune the FM radio, you need to hold down the "Play / Pause" button for a while.
It will automatically scan the entire FM band
and remember the tuned stations. After passing through the entire FM band,
the speaker will turn on the last tuned radio station.
Switching tuned radio stations using the arrow buttons.
The bundled cable is not just a charging cable, but also a data cable.
When connected to a computer, the bike goes into the data exchange mode,
and we see the files, that is, we can write directly to the microSD card from the laptop
without removing it from the speaker.
When connected via USB, no external device will be detected by the dispatcher, that is,
no sound card is built into the cycle speaker.
The laptop will detect the external connection, that is, the USB CARDREADER controller is called it.
When you connect the AUX cable, here minijack, then the microUSB
speaker automatically switches to AUX mode,
and you can play music from your computer through the speaker.
This is a bicycle speaker and its main purpose is to play music in open space,
where the high-frequency spectrum is absorbed.
High frequencies are also, but they are not so bright.
Let's now connect via bluetooth and evaluate the acoustic capabilities of this speaker.
Well, we will certainly be evaluated on various musical genres.
And so, drove!
Normally, it "knocks" at maximum volume.
You can compare the sound with the speaker "Gaciron" I have,
the review on which I will also place somewhere on the screen.
I will add the volume.
Here high frequencies will be brighter.
And this is the maximum volume.
Yes, the maximum.
Here is how this soundtrack sounds on «Venstar».
And again the speaker "Gaciron".
This speaker sounds quieter, its maximum volume level is lower,
but somehow it sounds cleaner,
other speakers are worth it.
And in this dynamics, as you have seen, loudspeakers on two rubber suspensions.
Also, this speaker is equipped, as it says here, with an intelligent power saving mode.
Well what does this mean?
If you do not play music for 10 minutes, there is no bluetooth connection,
the speaker will automatically turn off.
This is all done to save battery power.
If the battery is discharged, a beep sounds every half-minute, and after the third time,
the speaker automatically turns off the third signal.
And another such moment. Fully planted battery. Connect the charger. And the column works while charging.
The average charge current is 300 mA.
And somewhere around 9 hours, which is very long, I managed to charge up to 2551 mAh
with the declared 2600 mAh.
And at the end of charging, the LED went out.
After the first charge of the battery, this speaker worked at the optimum volume for playback in the room
for 15 hours in various modes. It is in bluetooth playback mode, with TF card,
radio and line input.
And we still believe the speakerphone mode, call the subscriber.
Looks like busy. Call back later.
Incoming call arrives. I answer.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Hello. Where have you been?
- Why are you so poorly heard?
- Very bad?
- Generally sucks heard.
- Bicycle speaker check.
- Through a bicycle speaker or something? ..
- Yes.
- Sucks heard at all.
- I understand everything. Till.
- Come on.
As they say, no comment.
The main requirements for the operation of this speaker are
not to expose to high temperatures, strong magnets,
not to be lowered into the water, that is, the cycling station can work only under splashes, in the rain,
after which it is necessary to wipe it thoroughly with dry cloth.
Its features are an external wired control panel, called iFree,
also BAS technology, which will provide a better circular
balanced distribution of sound power
around the loudspeaker, which is equipped with two speakers on both sides.
As a result, this is probably one of the best speakers by the criterion of price-quality-functionality.
This column is provided by the Gearbest store, but it is quite possible to buy it on AliExpress,
it is also on eBay. Links will all be in the description.
And I thank you for watching. I'll see you soon. Till.
