Not a radio.
It’s not, seriously.
When we ran a competition to give one of these away recently, many
people entered thinking they were in with a chance of winning a
radio. However, what they did enter for (and which someone walked
very happily away with) was an exceptionally thin and compact
Bluetooth speaker from Emie… and we’ve finally got our hands on
one.
If you love your tech
minimal and simplistic, this is the Bluetooth speaker for you. Emie’s
Radio (so called as the design harkens back to a classic and retro
wireless look) can fit in your hand, slip easily into your bag, and
provide six hours of battery-powered musical entertainment.
The radio features a
unique wooden surround, meaning that each and every one of them is
slightly different due to the grain of the wood. There is also just
the one button; a push dial on top that you use to both control the
track volume, and when syncing to your phone, tablet, or laptop.
Couple that with just a small Micro USB port for charging (cable
included), and an Aux-in port for wired connections, and this looks
very smooth and neat – plus, y’know, it’s just over four inches
long.
So it looks hot-damn
fine, but how does it perform? Inside the Emie Radio Bluetooth
Speaker is a 2W output, producing just enough oomph to give the unit
the highly-coveted ‘room-filling’ moniker. This makes it a great
personal speaker, ideal for taking with you on holiday in the hotel
room, or when out camping in the tent.
So although you won't
be able to tune into Radio 4 on this, the Emie Radio Bluetooth
Speaker is a wonderful little summer accessory; one that will perk
you up, but not weigh you down.
