Unboxing / Accessories

The box

The package includes the speaker itself, USB to micro USB charging cable, rubberized strap and the manual / user guide.

Everything inside!

Build Quality / Design

Pretty good overall build

Ekonic's choice of materials for this Bluetooth speaker are just fine. The body is made out of decent plastic and the the speaker grill on top is metal. It also has a nice matte paint finish featuring the Justice League characters. However, it has no water and dust resistance.

Suction cups below

Design-wise, this compact speaker is great and functional. It is rounded and not that big. Pocketable for some and easy to put in your bag. We also like that it has an included hand strap to help you carry the device easily and four suction cups below which acts as the speaker stand.

Features

Controls and ports below

This Ekonic Bluetooth speaker is easy to use. It can easily be paired via Bluetooth to your favorite music player. Then it has controls like previous / volume -, next / volume +, power, switch key. It also has a tiny reset hole in case you want to put the speaker settings back to default.

Moreover, it has a micro USB port for charging and micro SD card slot where you can store and play audio natively. However, it has no 3.5 mm audio jack slot and FM Radio function.

Bluetooth connection is very stable!

It's also one of the better connected budget Bluetooth speaker out there. It has the newer type of Bluetooth 4.2 connectivity with EDR. Bluetooth 4.2 has a more stable connection (around 10 - 15 meters) and better power efficiency. On the other hand, EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) allows faster data transmission for higher quality tunes.

Battery Life

Batter life and performance is stellar. On a single charge, it can last up to 8 hours on around 30% to 50% volume. For around 70% loudness and above, it lasted less for around 6 to 7 hours.

Charging time is around 2 hours.

Sound Quality

The Ekonic Justice League Bluetooth Speaker has no promise of HiFi sound, but it sounds DECENT for a collectible this affordable.

Sound is decent for a collectible this affordable!

Sound signature is warm. Bass and sub-bass is there, but it isn't that deep, tight and strong. It has great mids though. Vocals are crystal clear up to 70% loudness and instruments and other details has acceptable separation. Highs are airy and has some sparkle at times. But, it has hissing and peaks.

Loudness and soundstage is quite large for a single driver speaker this small. It sounds good around 50 to 70% loudness. Anything above that has noticeable distortion.

Pros - Sleek collectible design, easy to use function, good sound for the price, very stable Bluetooth connection, long battery life

Cons - No 3.5 mm headphone jack slot, no water and dust resistance, paint finish could chip off

Verdict

For a collectible, this Ekonic's Justice League Bluetooth is quite affordable for the price tag of PHP 2015. It also has decent overall audio performance, very strong Bluetooth connectivity and long battery life.

It's a must get for DC fans who loves listening to decent music on the go.
