[General Accessories] Alberto96:
Archeer 25W Bluetooth Speakers with Subwoofer

Unboxing

The Speaker's Package is huge (clearly noticeable in the Photo), eco-friendly with a good internal protection. Everything is packed with some basic accessories: 1x Micro-USB Cable, 1x 3.5mm Audio Cable, 1x User Manual, and the BT Speaker (of course).

As regards the Chassis, the whole body is made of Wood (or anything that provides the same look) and Plastic, with a Bamboo-look, and half of the body is covered by a nice soft cloth (check the Photo below). This combination provides a premium look together with the best internal sound insulation.

On the back side there is an AUX port, used for Wired Connection, a Reset Button, a Battery Charging LED and a Micro-USB port. The whole back panel has a rubberized surface, be careful with that because it isn't scratch resistant at all (a scratch is already noticeable in my Photo).

On the lower back side, there is an hole that is probably used as a breather.

Based on Archeer's specs, the Center Subwoofer has an output power of 15W, while the side drivers have 5W of Output for each one. Follow my next paragraph to know more about real output power.

Sound Quality

As regards the sound quality, well i am not an audiophile so i can't provide you some professional audio tests, but basing on my power-user experience, i notice that the Subwoofer is a bit too much powerful compared to the side drivers making the sound output a bit muffled. Low Frequencies are more noticeable than High ones, producing a sort of Warm Sound. (compared to my ancient Harman-Kardon Speakers)

The Volume is superb, i would have never expected such an high volume from a battery-powered BT Speaker, the internal amplifier is powerful, and there is no distortion even on Maximum Volume. Excellent!

This is my Loudness/Volume Test while running a Dolby Sound Test. Result: 95.5 dBA (MAX)

While this is another Test while running the famous Helicopter Sound Test. Result: 86.9 dBA (MAX)

I do not notice any microphone here, neither my smartphone shows it as a Call-Enabled device, so this is a Speaker-only unit. You won't be able to make calls without having to use your device's microphone.

Controls and Connectivity

I was able to pair the speaker with my device in just one step (using BT), and after being connected i didn't experienced any issue as regards stability or such. Unfortunately, there is no APT-X support here for high-definition BT Audio, so you have to use the Wired Connection for high-res audio.

Something i found useful is the Power LED. This isn't a simple Power LED, it supports two colors in order to show the current connection state. Blue LED means connected via BT, while Green LED means connected using Wired Cable. This is pretty useful i think, probably the first time i see this feature on a BT speaker.

It isn't possible to use the Wired Connection without turning on the device, it is required to provide some power to the internal amplifier. But, it is possible to charge the internal 5200mAh battery without having to turn off the speaker. It means that you can use it as a Completely Wired speaker.

As regards the controls area, there are some basic buttons here, a Play/Pause button and the Volume Buttons are used to control the volume (of course) and as a Music Control for Next/Previous song.

Conclusions

Being an high-grade Speaker Unit it is normal to expect an high-quality audio experience with good quality materials and so on. Except the High Frequencies issue i have described before, that might not be an issue for someone else, i am not able to find anything else negative about this accessory.

The Sound Output is definitely high for a 15W + 5W*2 Speaker, probably also higher than the rated output, and the amount of Low Frequencies provide a so immersive audio similar to what an Home Theater provides (except the surround effects of course). I have a 5.1 Home Theater at home, so i know how it sounds.

So...do I recommend this accessory? Yes, the price isn't so low though so it might seem a bit too much expensive, but it isn't possible to find something that provides the same quality (talking about sound and materials) for less, at least not for now, so i can definitely recommend it. Just remember that if prefer more High Frequencies than Low ones, this might not be for you.

Pros:

- Superb Output Power

- Premium Materials

- Easy-to-use

- 5200mAh Battery Inside

- Rechargeable without powering-off the unit

Cons:

- High Frequencies are a bit too much limited

- A bit expensive
