在我的一生中，便携式音乐播放器已经走过了漫长的道路。一开始，晶体管收音机是最新最好的。随后Walkman便携式卡带播放器(cassette player)惊艳了世界，并引入了个人音乐的概念。即使在公共场合，您也可以独自聆听磁带播放器。(cassette player)如果播放器有任何扬声器，那它又小又细。然后是便携式CD播放器。如果你想与周围的世界分享你的音乐，你必须得到一个音箱(boom box)。一旦便携式MP3 播放器(MP3 player)统治了世界，播放您的音乐以便其他人可以听到它需要某种外部扬声器。如今，随着蓝牙技术的普及(Bluetooth technology)，有大量的扬声器可供选择。iClever BT505 20W 扬声器(speaker offer)有何与众不同之处？让我们(Let)在这篇评论中找出答案：
拆箱 iClever BT505 扬声器(BT505 speaker)( IC-BTH05 )
扬声器装在一个普通的棕色纸板箱中(cardboard box)，它的尺寸出奇地重。我发现这很有希望，因为重型扬声器意味着更大的磁铁和（通常）更好的声音。盒子上只显示了产品名称(product name)、扬声器图纸及其序列号、SKU和制造商的网站。
盒子里面是漂亮的红色和黑色扬声器本身、一根USB 电缆(USB cable)、一根音频输入电缆和一本小用户手册(user manual)。它有点缩写的产品页面(product page)在这里(here)。
这款无线蓝牙扬声器(Bluetooth speaker)宽 7.6 英寸（195 毫米），高 2.6 英寸（68 毫米），深 2.59 英寸（66 毫米），重 1.9 磅（0.86 千克）。
iClever BT505 20W扬声器具有防溅(iClever BT505 20W)或防水(resistant or water resistant)功能，具体取决于您阅读的说明。iClever 没有详细说明这一点，用户手册中甚至也没有提到这个功能，但是控制装置被覆盖了，背面的端口有一个橡胶门，可以将它们与外部（可能是水）密封起来）。稍后我将详细讨论控件。这是扬声器的背面。
这是顶部。
关于 iClever BTS05 扬声器(BTS05 speaker)( IC-BTH05 )的重要信息
看看扬声器的样子很好，但大多数人想知道的是它的声音。我决定将它与我的第 6代 iPod (generation iPod) Touch配对，它有一个不拘一格的图书馆——从 50 年代摇滚到古典到现代雷鬼和嘻哈音乐的(reggaeton and hip-hop)一切。我最喜欢的播放列表按字母顺序排列所有标题，因此音乐在播放时会发生很多变化。
蓝牙配对(Bluetooth pairing)再简单不过了。我打开扬声器，然后查看 iPod 的蓝牙部分(Bluetooth section)，直到扬声器出现。我点击了演讲者的名字(speaker name)，这就是全部。与我的其他一些蓝牙(Bluetooth)设备不同，配对似乎很稳定——已经一个星期了，连接甚至没有中断一次。
声音清脆清晰，即使在更高的水平上也不会失真，我敏感的耳朵对此表示赞赏。我发现的一个怪癖是，扬声器顶部的加号和减号(plus and minus signs)并不是我认为的音量控制。(volume control)它们用于在播放列表中前进和后退。iPod 的音量控制(volume control)提高和降低了音量。
尽管产品描述(product description)承诺“先进的低音增强技术(bass enhancement technology)”，但无论磁铁多么重，您都不会从任何小型扬声器中获得雷鸣般的低音。尽管如此，低音还是足够好，与我一直使用的那个有点小的便携式扬声器相比，这是一个令人愉快的变化。
你有一个辅助输入端口和电缆(port and cable)来连接非蓝牙设备，但我没有测试过。
电池应该可以使用长达 12 小时，这对于蓝牙扬声器(Bluetooth speaker)来说非常有用。
那么它在淋浴时唱歌吗？
我必须承认我对弄湿扬声器(speaker wet)有点犹豫，但我意识到，为了进行彻底的测试，我必须，容我们说，冒险一试。🙂 我将扬声器放在淋浴间的架子上，但我将 iPod 留在了隔壁房间，因为我知道如果AppleCare 检测到(Apple)水损坏(water damage)，他们会很乐意通过碎纸机运行我的AppleCare 保修(AppleCare warranty)。
配对并没有丢失，即使隔墙也没有丢失，扬声器开得很开心，但是在淋浴时，水的噪音干扰了那种清脆的声音(crisp sound)。尽管如此，它确实像描述的那样工作，并且被溅到并没有以我能看到的任何方式伤害它。
优点和缺点
iClever BTS05 20W防水蓝牙音箱(Bluetooth speaker)有很多优点：
- 与您的蓝牙设备(Bluetooth device)配对非常简单
- 可接受的价格
- 对于这种尺寸的设备，音质很好(sound quality)
- 它是防水的
还有一些小的缺点，例如：
- (Larger)比许多类似的扬声器更大更重，因此不那么便携
- 低音没有宣传的那么强大。不过，很过瘾
判决
iClever BT505 20W防水蓝牙音箱(Bluetooth speaker)看起来不错，做工精良，性能也不错，尤其是对于这个价格(price range)合理的产品。将它与蓝牙设备(Bluetooth device)配对很容易，即使在低电平或高电平下，声音也很好。低音增强(bass enhancement)不会产生强烈的低音（您总是可以为此购买一个音箱，(boom box)对吗？）但它的声音确实比这个价格范围内(price range)的其他扬声器更好。它像承诺的那样防水，但只有您可以决定是否值得在淋浴时听它，或者您是否会像往常一样唱歌。在拥挤的领域中表现出色，非常值得一看和聆听(look and listen).
iClever IC-BTS05 waterproof Bluetooth speaker - Is it singing in the shower?
Portable music рlayers have come a long way in my lifetime. In the beginnіng, transistor radios were the latest and greatest. Then the Wаlkman portable cassette player wowed the world and introduced the concept of рersonal music. You could listen to your cassette playеr all by yourself, even in public. If the plауer had any speaker at all, it was tiny and tinny. Then there were portable CD plаyers. If you wanted to share your musіс with the world around you, you had to get a boom box. Once the pоrtable MP3 player ruled the world, playing your music so others could hear it required external speakers of some kind. Todаy, with the popularity оf Bluetooth technology, there are tons of speakers to choose from. What does the iClever BT505 20W speaker оffer that sets it apаrt from the crowd? Let's find out, in this rеview:
Unboxing the iClever BT505 speaker (IC-BTH05)
The speaker arrived in a plain brown cardboard box that was surprisingly heavy for its size. I found this promising because heavy speakers mean bigger magnets and (usually) better sound. The box only showed the product name, a drawing of the speaker and its serial number, SKU and the manufacturer's website.
Inside the box was the nice red and black speaker itself, a USB cable, an audio-in cable and a small user manual. It's somewhat abbreviated product page is here.
This wireless Bluetooth speaker is 7.6 inches (195 mm) wide, 2.6 inches (68 mm) high and 2.59 inches (66 mm) deep and it weighs 1.9 pounds (0.86 kg).
The iClever BT505 20W speaker is, depending on which description you read, splash resistant or water resistant. iClever doesn't go into any detail about this, nor is this feature even mentioned in the user manual, but the controls are covered, and the ports on the back have a rubberized door that seals them from the outside (and presumably from the water). I'll talk more about the controls in a bit. Here is the back of the speaker.
And here is the top.
The important stuff about the iClever BTS05 speaker (IC-BTH05)
Seeing what a speaker looks like is fine, but what most people want to know is what it sounds like. I decided to pair it up with my 6th generation iPod Touch, which has quite an eclectic library--everything from 50s rock to classical to modern reggaeton and hip-hop. My favorite playlist puts all the titles in alphabetical order, so the music goes through quite a few changes as it plays.
The Bluetooth pairing couldn't have been easier. I turned on the speaker, then looked in the iPod's Bluetooth section till the speaker appeared. I tapped the speaker name, and that was all it took. Unlike some of my other Bluetooth devices, the pairing seems to stick--it's been a week, and the connection hasn't broken even once.
The sound was crisp and clear and didn't distort even at higher levels, which my sensitive ears appreciated. One of the quirks I found is that the plus and minus signs on the top of the speaker are not volume controls, as I thought they were. They were for going forward and back in the playlist. The iPod's volume control raised and lowered the levels.
Although the product description promised "advanced bass enhancement technology" you aren't going to get thundering bass out of any small speaker, no matter how heavy the magnets are. Still, the bass was good enough and a pleasant change from the somewhat tiny portable speaker I had been using.
You have an aux-in port and cable to connect non-Bluetooth devices, but I did not test that.
The battery is supposed to last up to 12 hours, which is great for a Bluetooth speaker.
So does it sing in the shower?
I must admit I was a little hesitant to get the speaker wet, but I realized that in the interest of thorough testing I had to, shall we say, take the plunge. 🙂 I put the speaker on the rack in our shower, but I left the iPod in the next room because I know Apple will cheerfully run my AppleCare warranty through the shredder if they detect water damage.
The pairing was not lost, even through walls, and the speaker played merrily on, but in the shower, the noise of the water interfered with that nice crisp sound. Still, it did work as described and getting splashed did not harm it in any way that I could see.
Pros and cons
There's a lot to like about the iClever BTS05 20W waterproof Bluetooth speaker:
- Pairing with your Bluetooth device is super easy
- Affordable price
- The sound quality is good for a device this size
- It's water resistant
There are also some minor downsides, like:
- Larger and heavier than many similar speakers, so not as portable
- The bass is not as powerful as advertised. However, it is enjoyable
Verdict
The iClever BT505 20W waterproof Bluetooth speaker looks good, is well made and performs well, especially for a product in this reasonable price range. Pairing it with a Bluetooth device is a snap, and the sound is good even at low or high levels. The bass enhancement doesn't produce strong bass (you can always buy a boom box for that, right?) but it does sound better than other speakers in this price range. It is water resistant as promised, but only you can decide whether it's worth listening to it in the shower or if you'll just sing your tunes as you always have. It's a strong performer in a crowded field and well worth a look and listen.
