Archeer A320 Bluetooth speaker review


When you think furniture quality bamboo you probably don’t think Bluetooth speakers, but with the A320 Bluetooth speaker from Archeer that’s exactly what you get. The body of this speaker is actually made of bamboo, giving it a very unique and rich look. Add to that a skin – friendly rewind fabric material and you get one of the most beautiful looking Bluetooth speakers on the market. The Gadgeteer was fortunate to receive one for review. Is this a case of beauty only being skin deep or is there more to the A320 then just good looks? Time to find out if this Beauty really is a Beast.

     

In the Box:

  • 1- ARCHEER A320 Home Speaker
  • 1- Micro USB Charging Cable
  • 1- 3.5mm Audio Cable
  • 1- User Manual

This speaker really is a stunner. Its classic design with dual exposed 5W tweeters and 15W subwoofer all set into warm colored bamboo make it a perfect complement to any room. I really like the solid build of this speaker. It has some heft to it but still maintains its portability. The universally understood symbol control buttons for play, pause and volume up/volume down located on top of the speaker are raised and have a rubber like coating.

I also like the rewind fabric that wraps around the body of the speaker. Its gray color is in nice contrast with the warm color of the bamboo. Just another touch that adds to the unique design of the A320. My only concern about the fabric wrapping is that there could be some wear on the bottom of the speaker due to the fact that it comes in direct contact with any surface it’s placed on. I remedied that by adding four rubber bumpers that I purchased for a couple of bucks at the store. One downside to the unit being made of bamboo and having exposed speakers is that it’s not weather or water proof. So if it is used outside keep it out of the weather and away from pools or lakes. This may be a deal breaker for some. But it would make a nice addition to any deck or covered patio this summer.

On the back you’ll find the AUX Port, DC in via micro USB to standard USB, charge light and reset button. In addition, near the bottom of the back of the unit is the bass port.

The A320 uses 4.0 Bluetooth to connect to your device of choice, or you can connect your non – Bluetooth device with the provided 3.5mm audio cable. Pairing the speaker is easy, it’s done by holding down the power button until the power light (located between the volume up and play/pause buttons) flashes green. This means the A320 is in pairing mode, then simply select it from your device’s Bluetooth menu. When connected you will hear a tone and the power button will flash blue.

The unit is powered by a rechargeable 5200mAh lithium-Ion battery. Listening time on a full charge is about 11 hours at 50% volume. It does take about 6 hours to fully charge the A320, however, you can use the unit while it’s charging. Charging is done using the micro USB charging cable. Archeer doesn’t provide an adaptor but you can use any 5V DC adaptor (I used one that I had from one of the many Apple devices I own) or a PC. If you don’t have an adaptor you can purchase one on the Archeer website. While charging the charge indicator light on the back will glow red. Once fully charged the indicator light shuts off.

Archeer also provides a thick nylon carrying bag for the A320. It’s nothing special but will definitely provide some protection for the speaker while traveling.

Remember when I asked whether this Beauty really is a Beast?  Well time to find out. I decided to use different genres of music to test the range of the A320’s sound quality. For my tests, I listened to rock, rap, classical and pop. The A320 handled every genre I threw at it very well.  The bass was very prominent thanks to the 15W subwoofer, but not overwhelming. The highs and mid-range tones were very clean and clear. Lyrics were also very crisp and discernible. As you might guess rap benefited greatly from the added bass. The Beastie Boys ‘Licensed to Ill’ never sounded better. Even listening to orchestra music was a joy on this speaker. In fact, I was listening to the soundtrack from The Lord of the Rings as I was writing this review and it sounded fantastic. I also like to listen to podcasts from time to time so I tested out an episode of ‘The Nerdist’ podcast. The sound quality of the voice only content was great. And the A320 even replaced a ratty old boom box I was using to listen to sports talk radio with my morning coffee. So no matter what you like to listen to this Beauty truly is a Beast.

The other thing I like to use the A320 with is my Amazon Echo Dot. If you own or have seen the Dot you know that the built-in speaker doesn’t get very loud, but pairing it to the A320 (which is very easy by the way) gave me a whole new Alexa experience.

In Conclusion:

I flat out LOVE this speaker. The Archeer A320 Bluetooth speaker is everything one could want in a wireless speaker. Classic good looks with sound to match. There are more expensive speakers out there, but you would be hard pressed to find one that matches the sound quality and design of this speaker, especially at a more than reasonable price of $79.99. So if you want a Bluetooth speaker with excellent room filling sound that also doubles as a great conversation piece the Archeer A320 is a no brainer.

Warranty:

Archeer offers a 40-day money back guarantee along with a 18-month hassle-free warranty. From the date of purchase.

iClever Tri-Folding Wireless Keyboard review


Pairing a Bluetooth keyboard with your phone or a tablet turns it into a pseudo laptop for those times when an on-screen touch keyboard just won’t cut it. Add the ability to fold the keyboard into a smaller form factor and you have a perfect accessory to keep in your gear bag. What if I told you that there’s a folding Bluetooth keyboard that also has a built-in touchpad? Sounds like a match made in heaven right? Let’s see if the iClever Tri-Folding Wireless Keyboard earns a spot in my gear bag and my favorite gear page.

What is it?

The iClever Tri-Folding Wireless Keyboard is a portable Bluetooth keyboard with a built-in touchpad that folds for easy travel.

What’s in the box?

The iClever Tri-Folding Wireless Keyboard
Travel pouch
micro USB charging cable
User manual

Design and features

The iClever Tri-Folding Wireless Keyboard has a brushed gray aluminum alloy shell on the outside, and a black plastic keyboard on the inside.

The keyboard easily unfolds to reveal a full QWERTY-style key layout that includes a number row with function keys and media control keys along the top edge and the touchpad with left and right “mouse” buttons below it. You can click the image above to see a larger view of the keyboard layout.

Two small feet fold down on each end of the keyboard to allow it to remain flat and stable on a table when in use.

Unfolding the keyboard doubles as a power switch that turns it on and pairs with your device. Fold it back up, and it powers down.

Size compared to other small Bluetooth keyboards

When folded, the iClever Tri-Folding keyboard is about the same size as a large smartphone like my Nexus 6P shown next to iClever Tri-Folding keyboard in the image above.

In the image above, there’s an Apple wireless keyboard at the top, the iClever Tri-Folding Wireless Keyboard in the middle and the Jorno folding Bluetooth keyboard on the bottom which looks almost identical to the iClever minus the touchpad.

Using the iClever Tri-Folding keyboard

The iClever can pair with 3 devices simultaneously with easy switching between the devices by pressing the Fn key with the 1, 2, or 3 key above the touchpad.

I tested the iClever Tri-Folding keyboard with my 12 inch MacBook, an LG G6, and a Nexus 6P. Pairing and switching between these three devices was quick and easy.

The keys on the iClever are small, but I was able to touch type without too much effort. That said, I did notice a few issues while using this keyboard to type this review. I had no problem typing letters A through Z, or numbers 1 through 9 without having to look down at the keys. Most punctuation symbols were not a problem either except for  ?, ‘, “, \, and /, which were located in non-standard locations and require a Fn key press to access them.

The single quote tripped me up the most because I have the muscle memory to press it with my pinky on my right hand. When I try that on the iClever, my pinky presses the enter key which means I’ll start typing on the next line… which just happened while typing this sentence. Grrrrr. Having to stop mid-sentence to press a Fn key combo to get an often used character is really frustrating when you’re a touch typist.

I also had a problem with the – character which I use a lot when typing the URL of The Gadgeteer. I would almost always press the = character instead.

Using the iClever Tri-Folding keyboard touchpad

Having a built-in touchpad means that there’s no need to add a mouse to your gear bag. The iClever’s touchpad works fine as long as you are using the keyboard with a Mac, Windows or Android. However, it will not work with iOS devices. Sorry about your luck iOS fans.

The touchpad not only moves the cursor around on the screen, but it is also capable of gestures like two finger scrolling up and down, pinch/zoom, two finger click for right mouse button and more.

The only problem I had with the touchpad was accidentally touching it when I didn’t mean to. If you find that this happens too often for your liking, you can turn off the touchpad by holding the Fn key and 3 key above the touchpad.

Final thoughts

The iClever Tri-Folding Wireless Keyboard with Touchpad has a lot going for it. It’s well made, pairs with 3 devices, and has a built-in touchpad.

I like the keyboard a lot except that it drives me nuts to use it due to the issues typing ?, ‘, “, -, /, and \ characters. I could deal with having to press a Fn key to access the -, /, and \ characters, but ?, ‘, and ” characters are a deal breaker for me.

If you’re not a touch-typist, this keyboard is great. But if you ARE a touch-typist, it will most likely frustrate you like it has for me.

Maverick Laptop Messenger Bag review


There are a few Gadgeteer reviewers who have liked Waterfield bags, myself included. For years, Waterfield has made bags of all sizes and uses—and they are made in the good ole U.S.A. My first Waterfield product was a small, zippered pouch to hold my iPod (remember those?) along with earphones and necessary wiring. Last year, I reviewed one of their  backpacks—the Bolt. Recently, I decided to downsize to a smaller bag, mainly because I was accumulating too much stuff and downsizing would force me to make hard choices. Waterfield’s timing was perfect when I was given the chance to review their new Maverick messenger bag, a svelte, full leather bag that is as tough as it looks, maybe even tougher.

When I receive a product (usually audio related) to review, I either photograph it right out of the box, treat it with kid gloves or photoshop out scratches, nicks and whatever can happen during daily use. Not so with the Waterfield Maverick. Since it was advertised to get only better with age, I decided to wait and not photograph it until is was aged by my daily use—which included a business trip to New York City. And now, it’s time to review and you know what? Waterfield was right, The Maverick is scratched, scarred and stained yet it does look better than new!

One interesting aspect about the Maverick messenger bag is that it’s made from a single hide. This ensures that the whole bag will have a uniform look. As someone who hand-made leather purses and belts years ago, I can tell you that different hides accept dyes differently, have varying thicknesses and can be as individual as the cow it came from.

There are three colors available: Black, Chocolate, and Grizzly. The reviewed bag is the lighter Grizzly, which has a more casual, western look.

The Maverick bag comes in two sizes—Full and Compact. The Full size will hold: A larger MacBook Pro, larger PC laptop, 12.9″ iPad Pro (and smaller) and other similarly-sized tablets. The Compact will hold: A 13” MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, 9.7” iPad and similarly-sized tablets and even a 12.9″ iPad Pro—only in the laptop compartment. I do not own a laptop but since my 12.9″ iPad Pro fits into the laptop compartment, I opted for the compact-sized bag. It’s the one mistake I made. True, the 12.9″ iPad Pro easily fits into the compact-sized bag, but that’s without a case. I have a case and while it still fits, it’s a much tighter fit. My advice is that if you have any doubt if your laptop or tablet will fit, go for the full-sized Maverick bag.

Despite the size issue, I have enjoyed using the Maverick bag. As I said before, the outer part is scarred—a lot after use. The interior is made of heavy-duty canvas with heavy-duty finished seams. There are two large open pockets that run the length of the bag for holding a laptop and tablet separately. Each is padded to help prevent scratching. The middle is an open area for dumping whatever will fit. The inside front of the bag has two (unlined) smaller canvas pockets—one open and the other zippered. After using the bag for a couple of months, I now wish both pockets were zippered. If I either pocket left open, I would then have the choice to leave it unzipped.

That’s it for the interior. There are no hidden or side pockets, no bottle holders, no built-in charger—just simple, effective design.

The front flap has two holes cut into a leather tab that fits offer a sewn on stud. Which hole you use largely depends on how much stuff has been crammed into the bag. I worry about the holes cut into the leather tab becoming stretched with repeated usage, but it hasn’t happened yet, so it’s probably me being paranoid.

As I said before, using the Maverick messenger bag has forced me to edit my stuff and that’s been a (mostly) good experience. Previously in my other backpack, I had a few chargers, way too many cables and other junk that I have since put in a drawer for when I really need them—not if I need them. My shoulder now thanks me.

Speaking of shoulders, the Maverick has a 1.5 in. wide nylon shoulder strap for carrying. Thankfully, Waterfield has included a removable non-slip leather shoulder pad that keeps the strap from digging into your shoulder which makes it much more comfortable to carry. Since it’s removable, it can be infinitely adjusted up or down the strap.

The strap itself is sewn into the bag at a vertical angle. It’s easier to look at the photos than have me explain it. I understand Waterfield’s reasoning, but I still haven’t gotten used to it. One thing that bothers me is that the strap seems to get twisted a lot after repeated use. It’s easy to untwist, but it’s still something I have to do before throwing it over my shoulder.

There is a leather handle sewn into the upper back of the bag’s flap rather than at the top. Again, Waterfield has a design reason for this. I’m not sure I agree, but I hardly use this handle, so I don’t think about it too much.

Despite me being picky about certain aspects, the Maverick is a handy bag that’s a pleasure to use. I’ve come to appreciate it more and more each day. True, I wish I had chosen the full-sized version, but that’s my fault. If you’re looking to buy a messenger bag, you can learn from my judgment error in sizing.

Waterfield has—once again—made a product that should give years of use. The leather Maverick messenger bag should last long enough to hand down to a new generation should you want to get a new bag or backpack later. I would only caution those who like their bag to look new as long as possible because it will get scarred. As I said though, I think it’s aging quite beautifully.

The Maverick messenger bag sells for $289.00 or $319.00 US.

Rock Jaw Resonate hybrid earphones review

The Resonate earphones are the third pair I’ve reviewed from the UK based Rock Jaw audio company. For the last few years, Rock Jaw has made quite good, yet inexpensive earphones almost anyone can afford. The Genus and Clarito earphones have veered towards a warmer, more forgiving sound anyone but extreme bass heads could really like. Since Rock Jaw hasn’t yet released what could be termed a bass head earphone, you might think that their newest model would be geared for that market, but you would be wrong—completely wrong.

I can’t think of Rock Jaw without thinking of another Brit earphones maker—RHA. The reason is that both make very affordable and well-made earphones. Lately, however, RHA has begun to move up the price and quality ladder into a less affordable, but much better sounding area with their T10 and T20 models. These dual coil speaker earphones are about as good as it gets but you pay a price for that luxury. Now Rock Jaw seems to be following suit with their take on a dual-speaker hybrid earphone, the Resonate.

The Resonate hybrid earphone is not as expensive as RHA’s T-Series, but Rock Jaw has managed to make a genuine hybrid earphone selling for less than many available today. And that ain’t no small thing.

First, let me explain what a hybrid earphone is. Most earphones fall into two camps: dynamic drivers or armature. Dynamic earphones look like tiny versions of regular cone speakers that you might have in your living room. Dynamic speaker sound quality can range anywhere from okay to quite nice. They are known to generally have more bass, resulting in a warmer sound. They are also (but not always) cheaper to produce.

Armature earphones get their tech from the hearing aid market. Armature speakers use magnetic vibrations to produce sound (this is very simplified) and are quite small taking up much less room inside an earphone. They are also (again, usually) more expensive to produce. Armatures are usually more accurate sounding than dynamic speakers. However, the downside of armatures is the perception of less bass.

A hybrid is—you guessed it—a combination of a dynamic speaker paired with an armature speaker. The goal is to reap the benefits of both technologies and their sound qualities. The reality is that this approach issometimese more successful on paper than in the real world. Rock Jaw’s Resonate earphone is a fairly successful hybrid design. However, those who like their sound with a bit more bass heavy will be disappointed—but that would be their loss.

The Resonate’s shell is all aluminum, which gives the earphone a solid and well-made feel, as well as being light in weight. At the mini plug end, there’s a tension coil that wraps around the cable, giving it an added layer f protection from bending during use. Too few earphones come with this valuable feature. There are seven pairs of tips including flanged and foam for more secure fits. The largest round tips  fit my ears the best, but it’s not perfect. I have weird ears, I guess. The earphones are designed to be worn over and behind the ear. I prefer this method mainly because it prevents microphonics—that rustling or thumping sound when earphones cables rub on clothing or bump on something. There are people who do not like cables behind the ear, so the Resonate can also be worn cable down. I like this choice.

The Resonate earphones are not just a hybrid design, they also have a couple of other tricks. First is a removable cable. Rock Jaw has used a standard micro-miniature coaxial connector (MMCX) which means if something happens to one of the cables, replacements will be easier to get. Smart move. These cables just snap into place and snap apart quite securely. The cables are cloth covered, but tangle easily. It can be frustrating untangling them, but the cables don’t develop bending memory, so that’s a plus.

Secondly, Rock jaw has incorporated their filter system into the Resonate earphones. Filters are no longer unique—many other companies offer them. Filters allow the listener to customize the earphone to have more treble (Emotion—blue filter) which adds detail to music, more bass (Energy—green) for a more rounded, friendly sound and neutral (Fusion—gold) which allows the music to be heard as the artist intended. You might think that everyone would want to hear an album as the artist intended, but no, most people prefer bass above all else. FYI, Rock Jaw also make filters for their Genus earphones, but the color scheme for the Genus does not match the color scheme of the Resonate earphones. This mismatched coloring scheme is as weird as the non-descriptive names they gave the filters.

The Resonate’s three filters work as advertised, but the differences between them is subtle at best. The Genus earphone filter’s differences are greater. This is not surprising, because Rock Jaw’s Resonate earphone is designed for a more sophisticated, audiophile crowd on a budget and audiophiles can supposedly detect audio subtleties—or so they say. My preferred filter surprised me. I usually go for a more balanced, un-colored sound which should be the Fusion (gold) filter. But I much prefer the Energy (green) or bass filter. It’s probably because of the filter’s differences being so subtle, the green filter had just the right amount of bass for my tastes. Again, bass heads will be disappointed, mainly because each filter seems to have an emphasis on treble. It’s not harsh, but it’s most definitely there.

Who won’t be disappointed are people who prefer accuracy over artificial or colored audio. The added bass of the green filter is perfect for higher resolutions recordings and more modern rock, giving it just the kick it needs. I have some hi-res AC/DC recordings with plenty of detail that holds up in the mix. What doesn’t fare so well is classic rock. Classic rock is usually weaker on bass than modern rock so you want that added “oomph”. Sadly, the Resonate earphones fall short here. It’s as if the armatures are given more emphasis than the dynamic speakers.

And there’s the rub. If you have an aversion to treble and like you music to be a kick in the gut, look elsewhere. However, if you prefer accuracy above all else, don’t assume that the Rock Jaw Resonate will disappoint because of their low price. You might get the sound signature you prefer and manage to save a bit in the process.

Alxum 10-Port USB Smart Charging Station & Organizer review

I really love products that help me to organize my house and thus when the Gadgeteer was offered the Alxum 10-Port USB Smart Charging Station & Organizer, I jumped at the chance to review it. I have a side table in the living room that has been functioning as my kids’ gadget depository (four iPad Mini’s, two phones, and three over-ear headphones) that sorely needed some organization and the gadgets needed charging. The Alxum 10-port charging station worked like a charm.

Package Contents

  • Alxum 10-Port USB Smart Charging Station & Organizer (AX-10 PCS031)
  • 5 large brackets
  • 6 small brackets
  • AC adapter and power cord
  • User Manual

Design & Build Quality

The Alxum 10-port charging station is made of matte black hard plastic and the brackets are made of a hard transparent gray plastic.

There are 10 USB-A ports in this smart charger which will detect your devices automatically and will provide up to 5V/2.4A each based on the demands of your devices (there are no Qualcomm Quick Charge ports). This charger provides a maximum of 108 W of power total and will charge up to eight iPads at their full rate simultaneously (and up to 10 less-demanding devices simultaneously)

The charger is equipped with intelligent power management technology that will place the charger in sleep mode when not charging. It also provides protection against over-voltage, overloading and short circuiting, and over-heating.

Each bracket has two tabs located along the lower edge that fit perfectly into slots on the top of the charger. The brackets are easily adjustable and at the same time stay in place such that when removing your device from the charger, they don’t come out.

The charger is about 9.375″ L x 5.25″ W x 3.25″ H with the large brackets installed (24 cm L x 13.5 cm W x 8 cm H).

Each side of the charger has vents to disperse heat and one side has a DC port to connect the power cord.

The bottom of the charger also has vents to disperse heat. In addition, it contains six rubber pads to help prevent the charger from moving around on furniture and from scratching the furniture as well.

Use

Here is the current setup of all the gadgets connected to the charger. We have two iPad Mini 4s, two iPad Minis, two Motorola Moto E (2nd gen) phones, and three sets of over-ear headphones – nine devices total. This setup is so much tidier and organized and now all of the devices can be charged at once (I did have to purchase the short 8″ cables separately).

When this iPad Mini 4 was connected to the Alxum 10-port charger via an OEM Apple Lightning cable, it was able to charge at 5.07V/2.02A/10.24W.

You’ll also notice that the charger has a blue LED light that is illuminated when the charger has been plugged in (illuminated LED does not mean that it is charging a device).

This is the same iPad Mini 4 as the previous one, only this time it was connected to the charger using an off brand Lightning cable. As you can see, the tablet was still able to charge at approximately the same high rate (5.07V/2.18A/11.05W) using this cable and charger.

This is another iPad Mini 4 that was connected to the charger. The charger was able to provide 5.07V/1.51A/7.655W. The difference between this iPad Mini 4 and the previous one already mentioned is the fact that this one’s battery started with a higher battery level than the previous one and thus charged at a lower rate than the other. NOTE: the smart charger alters (decreases) the amount of power to devices as the batteries of each approach full charge; this is typical when charging any device using their OEM chargers or smart chargers.

The charger was able to charge our Phiaton BT 460 headphones at 5.18V/0.19A/0.984W…

…and our House of Marley Liberate XLBT Bluetooth headphones at 5.17V/0.28A/1.447W.

When several devices were plugged into the charger and charging at the same time, the charger was still able to provide the maximum power to the device that it needed (above photo: iPad Mini charging at 5.04V/2.28A/11.49W; iPod Touch 6G charging at 5.13V/0.65A/3.334W).

There were a couple of potential drawbacks that we noticed about the Alxum 10-port smart charger. The charger has a large transformer in line with the power cord to convert AC power to DC before being connected to the charger. This may be cumbersome to some people. Also, my kids noticed a faint high-frequency sound being emitted from the charger at various times (not all the time). This appeared to occur when the devices were fully charged but still plugged into the charger. I did not notice the sound because of my high-frequency hearing loss so it must be over 15,500 Hz.

Final Thoughts

The Alxum 10-Port USB Smart Charging Station & Organizer did what I expected it to do. It organized my kids’ nine devices and allowed all of them to charge simultaneously at the rate that each device needed to charge. The power cord does have a transformer that may be considered cumbersome to some people and there is a faint high-frequency sound that the charger emits periodically when devices are fully charged but still plugged into the charger. Overall, we found the 10-port charger to be a wonderfully useful addition to our gadget accessories.

Source: The sample used in this review was provided by Alxum. Unfortunately, I cannot find this product on their webpage and it is no longer available on Amazon. I have contacted Alxum about when it will become available and if I hear back, I will let you know. At this time, the 96 W white version of this 10-port charger is available from Amazon.

 

Product Information

Price: $64.99
Manufacturer: Alxum
Retailer: Amazon
Pros:
  • Organizes up to 10 devices
  • Charges up to 8 iPads simultaneously (and up to 10 less-demanding devices)
Cons:
  • Emits high-frequency sound when devices are fully charged but still plugged in
  • Has large transformer in line with the power cord
