我们中的许多人喜欢在便携式设备上听音乐和播放视频，但让我们面对现实吧，使用耳机或耳塞并不总是有效。如果您想与他人分享，或者不想在两小时(hour movie)的电影中一直戴着耳机，那么连接扬声器会容易得多。Inateck的BP-2001 便携式蓝牙扬声器(BP-2001 Portable Bluetooth Speaker)是一款外观漂亮、价格诱人的产品，进入了日益拥挤的蓝牙扬声器领域(Bluetooth-speaker field)。我们收到了扬声器进行测试，经过几天的测试，我们将让您知道我们在这篇评论中发现了什么：
拆箱Inateck BP-2001 便携式蓝牙音箱(Inateck BP-2001 Portable Bluetooth Speaker)
与许多其他Inateck产品一样，BP-2001 便携式蓝牙扬声器(BP-2001 Portable Bluetooth Speaker)采用精心设计的磨砂(matte)黑盒子，在这种情况下，闪亮的黑色音符和谱号符号增强了它。
没有关于盒子上扬声器的更多细节。
在里面，我们找到了扬声器、一本小说明书和两根电缆，一根 microUSB 和一根“aux”。
使用说明书(instruction manual)提供了扬声器的规格。美国版(USA version)的说明手册(instruction manual)不是由以英语(English speaker)为母语的人编写的，有些文字无意中很有趣，但很容易理解一切应该如何工作。
扬声器至少有足够的电量来试用它，开箱即用，我们对此表示赞赏。虽然不包括充电器，但可以通过任何标准USB 端口或 USB 充电器(USB port or USB charger)为扬声器充电。
设置并试用
BP-2001 扬声器(BP-2001 speaker)的控制非常简单。在正面，您会看到一个圆形区域，中间有一个银色按钮，带有一个电话图标(phone icon)和一个play/pause icon。这正如您所期望的那样工作 - 您可以启动和暂停音频，并且您可以将扬声器与支持蓝牙(Bluetooth)的手机一起使用，以拨打和接听免提电话。
背面有用于 miniUSB 和辅助电缆的插孔，以及一个on/off switch。很简单。
注：(NOTE:) miniUSB电缆(miniUSB cable)仅用于为扬声器充电。如果要连接非蓝牙设备，则需要使用设备耳机插孔中的(headphone jack)辅助电缆(aux cable)。
当您将平板电脑插入顶部的插槽时，还有一个翻转支架有助于稳定扬声器（我们将在一分钟内看到）。
这是扬声器的侧视图，显示了宽大的稳定底座和顶部的插槽，其具有哑光橡胶表面，有助于抓住其中的设备。
当您打开扬声器时，它会发出一连串响亮的啁啾声和颤音(chirps and trills)。由于扬声器没有自己的音量控制(volume control)，这是用户必须忍受的。
通过蓝牙配对扬声器
将扬声器与蓝牙设备(Bluetooth device)配对很简单。扬声器以蓝牙连接模式(Bluetooth-connection mode)启动，因此您只需打开扬声器，按照设备说明使其可被发现，扬声器就会连接。我们在各种蓝牙设备(Bluetooth device)（手机、平板电脑和电脑）上进行了尝试，每次连接都顺利进行。
建立连接后，扬声器会向您发出颤音（或如手册所述，“扬声器发出‘嘟’的提示音”），然后圆控制上的蓝牙灯会(Bluetooth light)缓慢闪烁以显示您认为连接正常。
手册说，如果扬声器在五分钟内未能建立蓝牙连接(Bluetooth connection)，它将自动关闭。由于我们从未发生过连接失败(connection fail)，因此我们没有对此进行测试。
建立连接后，您就可以开始播放媒体文件了。正如我们所提到的，扬声器本身没有音量控制(volume control)，因此您必须使用设备上的控件来控制播放音量(playback volume)。如果您真的喜欢发出声音，这可能会比平时更快地耗尽电池电量。
非蓝牙连接
如果您的设备不支持蓝牙(Bluetooth)，您可以使用包装盒中提供的“辅助”电缆，通过设备的耳机插孔(headphone jack)和扬声器背面的“辅助”插头将其连接到BP-2001 便携式蓝牙扬声器。(BP-2001 Portable Bluetooth Speaker)这就像通过蓝牙(Bluetooth)连接一样简单。
同样，您必须使用设备的音量控件来设置音量，这会使设备的电池电量更快耗尽。
扬声器连接
将手机与扬声器配对后，您可以使用扬声器正面的按钮连接和断开手机。这与常规的蓝牙连接(Bluetooth connection)一样有效，通话两端的音质都很清晰。(sound quality)但是让我们面对现实吧，没有什么能让免提通话听起来(speakerphone conversation sound)像是不是免提。🙂
那么，听起来如何？
就像你可以改变物理定律一样，你可以让小型扬声器发出(speaker deliver)巨大的低音(thumping bass)，我们认为规格表中承诺的 90Hz 可能有点乐观。然而，在所有测试的设备上，即使在更高的音量下，整体声音也很清晰，没有失真。
我们用尽可能多的音乐对扬声器进行了测试。古典(Classical)、爵士、经典摇滚、流行、西班牙流行、嘻哈、乡村、电子音乐和电影配乐(music and movie soundtracks)都非常出色。扬声器的动态范围非常好，我们可以毫无困难地听到响亮和柔和的段落。虽然立体声分离的方式并不多，但似乎从一侧到另一侧的段落被非常清晰地再现了。
总而言之，我们会说Inateck BP-2001 便携式蓝牙音箱(Inateck BP-2001 Portable Bluetooth Speaker)是便携式设备的好伴侣。
判决
虽然我们发现Inateck BP-2001 便携式蓝牙音箱(Inateck BP-2001 Portable Bluetooth Speaker)非常易于使用且听起来很悦耳，但我们意识到声音的感知是高度个人化的，对一个人来说听起来不错的东西可能会伤害另一个人的耳朵。由于扬声器并不昂贵，因此值得尝试一下它是否适合您的需求。最后，总结一下它的优缺点：
PRO：
- 有吸引力的设计
- 为顶部插槽中的设备提供出色的物理支撑（带有稳定支架）
- 超级(Super)简单的“无脑”蓝牙(Bluetooth)配对
- 这种尺寸的扬声器的合理声音
- 非常合理的价格
缺点：(CON:)
- 没有单独的音量控制
- 启动声音很大
- 没有手提箱，背面有光泽的表面很容易被划伤和指纹，另外最好有一个地方来存放带有扬声器的电源线
Reviewing The Inateck BP-2001 Portable Bluetooth Speaker
Many of us like listening to music and playing videоs on our portable devices, but let's face it, usіng headphones or earbuds doеsn't always work. If you want to share with others or if you don't want to have to keep your headphones on for thе duratіon of a two hour movie, іt's a lоt easier tо hook up a speaker. Inateck's BP-2001 Рortable Bluetooth Speaker іs а good-looking, attractively priced entry into the increasingly crowded Bluetooth-speаker fiеld. We received the speakеr for testing and, after putting it through іts paces for several daуs, we're going to let you know whаt we found in thiѕ revіew:
Unboxing The Inateck BP-2001 Portable Bluetooth Speaker
As with many other Inateck products, the BP-2001 Portable Bluetooth Speaker arrived in a well designed matte black box, which in this case was enhanced by shiny black musical notes and clef signs.
There were no further details about the speaker on the box.
Inside, we found the speaker, a small instruction manual, and two cables, one microUSB and one "aux."
The instruction manual provided the specs for the speaker. The USA version's instruction manual was not written by a native English speaker and some of the text was unintentionally amusing, but it was easy enough to understand how everything was supposed to work.
The speaker arrived with at least enough charge to try it out, right out of the box, which we appreciated. While no charger is included, the speaker can be charged via any standard USB port or USB charger.
Setting It Up And Trying It Out
The BP-2001 speaker's controls are very simple. On the front, you'll see a circular area with a silver button in the middle with a phone icon and a play/pause icon. This works as you would expect--you can start and pause audio, and you can use the speaker with your Bluetooth capable phone, to make and receive speakerphone calls.
The back has jacks for the miniUSB and the aux cables, and an on/off switch. Very simple.
NOTE: The miniUSB cable is only for charging the speaker. If you want to hook up a non-Bluetooth device, you need to use the aux cable from the device's headphone jack.
There is also a flip-out stand that helps stabilize the speaker when you've got a tablet inserted in the slot on the top (which we'll see in a minute).
Here is a side view of the speaker showing the wide stable base and the slot on the top, which has a matte rubberized surface to help grip the devices inside it.
When you turn the speaker on, it emits a surprisingly loud series of chirps and trills. Since the speaker has no volume control of its own, this is something users will just have to live with.
Pairing The Speaker Via Bluetooth
Pairing the speaker with a Bluetooth device is simple. The speaker starts up in Bluetooth-connection mode, so all you have to do is switch on the speaker, follow the instructions for your device to make it discoverable, and the speaker will connect. We tried this with a variety of Bluetooth devices (phones, tablets and computers) and the connection went through without a hitch every time.
The speaker will trill at you when the connection is established (or, as the manual describes it, "the speaker gives out the prompt sound of 'toot'"), and after that the Bluetooth light on the circular control will flash slowly to show you that the connection is working.
The manual says that if the speaker fails to make the Bluetooth connection within five minutes, it will shut itself off automatically. Since we never had a connection fail we didn't test this.
Once the connection is established you can start playing your media files. As we mentioned, the speaker has no volume control of its own, so you will have to control the playback volume with the controls on your device. If you really like to blast the sound, this may run your battery down faster than usual.
Non-Bluetooth Connections
If your device is not Bluetooth capable, you connect it to the BP-2001 Portable Bluetooth Speaker with the "aux" cable provided in the box, via the device's headphone jack and the "aux" plug on the back of the speaker. This was just as easy as connecting via Bluetooth.
Again, you will have to use the device's volume controls to set the level, and this can make your device's battery run down faster.
Speakerphone Connections
After you pair your phone with the speaker, you can use the button on the front of the speaker to connect and disconnect your phone. This worked as well as a regular Bluetooth connection and the sound quality on both ends of the conversation was clear. But let's face it, nothing will make a speakerphone conversation sound like it's not a speakerphone. 🙂
So, How Does It Sound?
Just as ye canna change the laws o' physics, ye canna make a small speaker deliver big thumping bass, and we thought the 90Hz promised by the spec sheet might have been a tad optimistic. However, overall the sound was clear and without distortion even at higher volume levels, on all tested devices.
We tested the speaker with as wide a range of music as we could. Classical, jazz, classic rock, pop, Spanish pop, hip-hop, country, electronic music and movie soundtracks all came through very well. The dynamic range of the speaker was quite good and we could listen to both loud and soft passages without trouble. While there isn't much in the way of stereo separation, passages that appeared to travel from one side to the other were reproduced quite clearly.
All in all we'd say that the Inateck BP-2001 Portable Bluetooth Speaker makes a good companion to portable devices.
Verdict
While we found the Inateck BP-2001 Portable Bluetooth Speaker exceptionally easy to use and pleasant to listen to, we're aware that the perception of sound is highly personal, and what sounds good to one person may hurt another person's ears. Since the speaker is not expensive, it would be well worth trying out to see if it suits your needs. To finish things off, here's a summary for its pros and cons:
PRO:
- Attractive design
- Excellent physical support for devices in the top slot (with the stabilizing stand a plus)
- Super easy "no brainer" Bluetooth pairing
- Reasonable sound for a speaker this size
- Very reasonable price
CON:
- No separate volume control
- Startup sounds are pretty loud
- No carrying case, and the shiny surface on the back is vulnerable to scratches and fingerprints, plus it would be nice to have someplace to store the cords with the speaker
