My speaker arrived today. It’s a monster, weighing over 25 pounds and it is taller than the table I placed it on.
I was looking for a good, loud Bluetooth speaker for my bathroom and this Philips X5206 is a lot of overkill, but I like it.
For $100, audio quality is excellent and maximum volume is deafening in my bathroom. The lights are trippy and well executed. The speaker seems well made.
Default audio settings seemed a little dull, but the bass and treble knobs made that easy to fix.
The USB port keeps my tablet charged. I wish the speaker was playable from my tablet via USB, but it works well enough over Bluetooth. If you plan to watch videos with it, there is noticeable latency, so you might want to use the analog line-in.
All in all, this is a great deal and I’m very happy with the speaker.
