[Nexus 6P Accessories] Gorgtech:
Hello,

I got this nice Bluetooth Speaker from <MODERATOR EDITED - SPAM LINK REMOVED> for an honest and unbiased review. I was excited to try this item since I like rugged type of gear ;)

<MODERATOR EDITED - SPAM LINK REMOVED>

From the looks of it, these Speakers look like some sort of military type of equipment.

The whole device feels pretty heavy and solid which is a good sign. The case is rugged and uses iron frames, metal speaker meshes and is stabilized by a strong TPU rubber. The case structure is very tough and also water resistant which makes it great for outdoors usage while eg. having a nice BBQ.

I´m confident that this device might survive some severe drops but I won´t perform any torture tests like these ;)

The build quality is excellent, the packaging itself also makes you feel that you´ve obtained a high grade item and not something cheap.

This item might survive one drop out of a plane without a parachute because of how good it´s protected inside the box ;)

Accessories:

1x USB Cord (USB Type A - Micro-USB-B)

1x Audio Cable (3,5mm - 3,5mm Stereo coaxial)

1x User Manual

1x Nylon Bag

1x Nylon Rope

In order to charge this device you need a additional USB charger which is not included. Just use a USB charger which can deliver about 5W (5V @ 1A) and you´re good to go. I guess that most guys here have spare chargers they can use ;)

Tests:

This device is very intuitive to use and the user manual is easy to read too.

I charged this device with my DIY power supply and measured a current of exactly 1A. If you charge the device and also play some music, the current might rise up to about 1.1A.

What I like about these speakers is the fact that you can also use them with a wired connection through a standard 3.5mm Stereo cable.

You can simply connect them with any headphone jack of every device. These Speakers can also be great companions for your Notebook and replace the tiny built in Speakers;)

The Bluetooth Connection is stable, even if you move away a few meters from the speakers with your phones. I´ve tried a connection with my Nexus 5 (2013) and Nexus 6P and didn´t have any problems.

You can use your phone or these Speakers in order to swipe through music tracks or answer calls.

What´s also nice to have is the possibility to share the integrated 5200mAh Battery Cells which feed the Bluetooth Speaker in order to charge your mobile devices if you´re out of juice. This could come in handy in emergency situations if you don´t have any extra Power Bank with you.

You would be able to charge devices at a current of max. 2A which sounds great.

Assuming that the charging circuit used in this device works at a efficiency level of around 88%, you might expect a usable capacity of about 3386mAh which could be used to charge your devices;)

You have to keep in mind that this is just a close approximation and only works out if you use all the juice for charging only.

Did I forget anything? The Nylon Bag and the Nylon Rope included with these Speakers also help you to transport this device without scuffing the nice case ;)

Sound Quality:

Now comes the tough question, does this item also sound great? These Speakers are quite small in comparison to some active PC Speakers but they deliver quite a unexpected punch.

To be honest, you have to compare these Speakers with similar gear in order to rate their performance. Don´t compare them with your 1000W Hifi Stereo System which would win by far but also costs a lot more and cannot be carried around in your backpack ;)

The lows are very strong, the mids are well balanced and the highs are soft. Even if you crank up the max volume, you won´t hear any distortions. These Speakers are very loud which is really impressive.

The tonal quality isn´t dull and not very bright sounding either. It reminds me somehow of older Hifi equipment from the 80´s which also sounds a bit stronger in the lows frequency range and offers softer mids and highs. I think that the results are very well balanced.

I´ve tried these Speakers with various types of music and it´s really a pleasure to listen to them. This is nice since I intend to use them outdoors and can hardly await the summer to come ;)

When it comes to preferences, all people are different. I can´t guarantee that you might also like the sound quality as well as I do, this is why I can only tell my own impressions.

In conclusion, <MODERATOR EDITED - SPAM LINK REMOVED> has designed some serious Bluetooth Speakers which deliver some unexpected performance and tonal punch as well.

I hope that I could help some of you to have a closer look at these Bluetooth Speakers if you´re looking for some rugged companions for your phones as well ;)
