Review:
A good compact speaker
Liger sent me this speaker for review and I think it is good. At the time of writing it costs under thirty quid and it has good build and sound quality for this price range.
The speaker is very compact and looks good with a very solid casing and tough grille. Control buttons are on the top and work well: volume up and down, skip forward and back, pause/play and a separate button for controlling hands-free calls. On the back are the on/off switch, input port for an AUX jack lead, and a micro-USB port for charging. Bluetooth pairing was very simple (conventional only – no NFC). Everything works very well and I find it very simple to use.
The sound is good for a speaker of this size and price. Trebles are very sharp and middles are nice but I find the bass a little weak. That's not surprising in a unit of this size, but do be aware that if you want a real bass kick, this may not be for you. I have tested this with a lot of music including my standard playlist of Test Tracks and it does pretty well on most things from Tudor Polyphony to modern high-production music. It's very well balanced with very good articulation: string quartets sound good, (but low orchestral strings don't come over very well), rock is OK, if a little thin in the bass, and acoustic music sounds very fresh. It’s certainly not hi-fi, but it's very good for such a compact speaker.
Liger make good quality stuff (their Blaze earphones are very good, for example) and this is another very nice product from them. If you want more bass in this price range then I would suggest the Audio Dynamix S-Wave, but that is a somewhat larger unit; if you want a really compact speaker in this price range this will do you very well.
