Iako imaju vrlo dobru reputaciju kada su u pitanju mrežni uređaji koje stvaraju, ovo im je prvi susret s prijenosnom zvučnom tehnologijom. Jesu^(Did) li dobro obavili posao ili nisu uspjeli?

Otpakiranje TP-LINK Groovi Ripple prijenosnog Bluetooth zvučnika^{(TP-LINK Groovi Ripple Portable Bluetooth Speaker)} ( BS1001 )

TP-LINK Groovi Ripple prijenosni Bluetooth zvučnik^{(TP-LINK Groovi Ripple Portable Bluetooth Speaker)} ( BS1001 )^(BS1001) dolazi u crnoj kartonskoj kutiji. Iako zapravo ne možete vidjeti zvučnik dok ne otvorite kutiju, na prednjoj je strani ispisana njegova slika.

Okrenite kutiju naopako ili pogledajte njezine strane i također ćete pronaći pojedinosti o njezinim značajkama i tehničkim specifikacijama.

Unutar paketa ćete pronaći TP-LINK Groovi Ripple prijenosni Bluetooth zvučnik^{(TP-LINK Groovi Ripple Portable Bluetooth Speaker)} ( BS1001 ), kratki Micro USB kabel za punjenje zvučnika, korisnički priručnik i jamstveni list.

Specifikacije hardvera

TP-LINK kaže da je Groovi Ripple dizajniran da ponudi zvuk punog raspona s pravim zvukom^{(Real Sound)} , što znači da zvučnik ima veliki zvučni pogon koji pomaže u isporuci prostranog i detaljnog zvuka. TP-LINK Groovi Ripple prijenosni Bluetooth zvučnik^{(Groovi Ripple Portable Bluetooth Speaker)} ( BS1001 ) koristi Bluetooth verziju 4.0 za povezivanje s vašim pametnim telefonom, tabletom ili drugim uređajima. Neposredna posljedica je da biste trebali moći prenositi i kontrolirati glazbu koju puštate na zvučniku s maksimalne udaljenosti od gotovo 20 metara ili 66 stopa.

Osim bežičnog Bluetootha^(Bluetooth) , Groovi Ripple također može isporučiti zvuk putem svog ugrađenog 3,5 mm stereo mini-utičnice, koji možete koristiti za povezivanje zvučnika s bilo kojim uređajem koji nema Bluetooth čip. Nažalost, TP-LINK također nije uključio audio kabel unutar paketa i morate ga kupiti zasebno.

TP-LINK- ov prvi prijenosni Bluetooth zvučnik ima litij-ionsku polimersku bateriju od 3,7 V od 750 mAh koja službeno može održati zvučnik u radu oko 4 sata. Ako ćete u tu svrhu koristiti USB priključak na prijenosnom računalu ili računalu, trebalo bi oko 2 sata da se potpuno napuni.

Groovi Ripple^{(Groovi Ripple)} je kvadratnog oblika i njegova je veličina relativno mala, s dimenzijama od 4,1 x 3,7 x 1,5 inča (103 x 94 x 37 mm) i težinom od 6,17 unci ili 175 grama.

Ako želite vidjeti sve detaljne tehničke specifikacije za ovaj zvučnik, možete ih pronaći na njegovoj službenoj web stranici, ovdje: TP-LINK Groovi Ripple prijenosni Bluetooth zvučnik (BS1001) - Hardverske značajke^{(TP-LINK Groovi Ripple Portable Bluetooth Speaker (BS1001) - Hardware Features)} .

Korištenje TP-LINK Groovi Ripple prijenosnog Bluetooth zvučnika^{(TP-LINK Groovi Ripple Portable Bluetooth Speaker)} ( BS1001 )

Prva stvar koju ćete primijetiti kod Groovi Ripplea^{(Groovi Ripple)} , čak i prije nego što ga povežete sa svojim uređajima, je kvadratni oblik i mala težina. Spojite ih s malim dimenzijama i dobit ćete zvučnik koji lako stane u svaki ruksak, torbu ili čak u jedan od vaših džepova.

Druga stvar koja će vam privući oko kod Groovi Ripplea^{(Groovi Ripple)} je činjenica da ima i podesivu ručku kojom možete pričvrstiti zvučnik na svoju opremu i savijati ga u različite položaje, tako da zvuk bude usmjeren na vas .

Podesiva ručka je zgodna kada ste na otvorenom i želite, na primjer, objesiti zvučnik sa svog ruksaka. Ima jedna lijepa stvar u vezi s tim, koju bismo htjeli spomenuti: ima gumene utore na svojoj unutarnjoj strani, koji pomažu zvučniku da ostane čvrst i postojan na bilo kojoj zupčanici na koju ga zakačite.

Ako su žljebovi na stražnjoj strani ručke možda razlog za ime ovog zvučnika - Groovi , mreškanje na prednjoj rešetki svakako je razlog njegovog prezimena: Ripple . Dakle: Groovi Ripple . Iako mreškanja s prednje strane vjerojatno nisu ništa drugo nego dizajnerski izbor i nemaju veze s kvalitetom zvuka, morate priznati da izgledaju sjajno i daju zvučniku lijep dodir.

Groovi Ripple^{(Groovi Ripple)} ima samo tri gumba: tipke za pojačavanje i smanjenje glasnoće na desnoj strani i tipku za uparivanje/Bluetooth na lijevoj strani. Na donjem rubu također ćete pronaći Micro USB priključak i 3,5 mm audio priključak.

Uparivanje i povezivanje vašeg pametnog telefona ili tableta s prijenosnim zvučnikom Groovi Ripple putem ^{(Groovi Ripple)}Bluetootha^(Bluetooth) jednostavno je i bez grešaka. Sve što trebate učiniti za ulazak u način uparivanja je dugo pritisnuti tipku za uključivanje. Koristio sam TP-LINK- ov Groovi Ripple s Motorola Nexusom 6^{(Motorola Nexus 6)} i pametnim telefonom Nokia Lumia 930 , kao i s Kindle Fire HDX 7 tabletom, a Groovi Ripple je odlično radio sa svima njima.

Zatim, drugi gumbi rade točno ono što kažu da hoće, i ništa više. Za razliku od drugih Bluetooth prijenosnih zvučnika koje smo vidjeli ili recenzirali, TP-LINK Groovi Ripple^{(Groovi Ripple)} ne podržava preskakanje na sljedeću ili prethodnu pjesmu kada sve dulje pritisnete tipke za glasnoću. Groovi Ripple^{(Groovi Ripple)} također ne može raditi kao potpuno samostalni telefonski sustav zvučnika tijekom poziva: nema ugrađen mikrofon.

Već neko vrijeme koristim prijenosni zvučnik TP-LINK Groovi Ripple i ponio sam ga sa sobom na dva različita putovanja. Jednom sam ga koristio tijekom putovanja kao svojevrsnu zamjenu za auto stereo. U malim i zatvorenim prostorima poput vašeg automobila, moram reći da Groovi Ripple zvuči dobro i prilično glasno.

S druge strane, ako ga koristite na otvorenom, kao što sam ja radio tijekom nekoliko logorskih vatri, glazba koju ćete dobiti od Groovi Ripplea^{(Groovi Ripple)} zvuči pristojno, a maksimalna razina glasnoće nije ni blizu onoga što biste očekivali. Groovi Ripple^{(Groovi Ripple)} nije jako glasan u usporedbi s drugim prijenosnim Bluetooth zvučnicima koje smo testirali. I, iako je ovaj zvučnik vrlo lagan i lak za nošenje, sve to ima svoju cijenu: autonomija koju dobivate od njega također je manja od one koju ćete dobiti od drugih prijenosnih zvučnika s većim, ali težim ugrađenim baterijama. Nikada nisam uspio izvući više od 3 i pol do 4 sata od TP-LINK Groovi Ripplea^{(TP-LINK Groovi Ripple)} , što nije impresivno ako puno putujete.

Za i protiv

Evo nekih od najboljih značajki koje TP-LINK Groovi Ripple Bluetooth prijenosni zvučnik ima:

• Dobar zvuk sve dok ne želite glasnoću
• Mali i kvadratnog oblika, tako da ga je lako pakirati
• Lagan, pa ga je lako nositi
• Podesiva, gumena ručka kojom možete zakačiti zvučnik na bilo koju opremu
• Vrlo jednostavno postavljanje Bluetooth-a

Postoje i neki negativni aspekti u vezi s tim:

• Nema NFC podrške
• Nema mogućnosti korištenja za telefonske pozive
• Nema mogućnosti spajanja dva zvučnika u stereo postavu
• Neimpresivno trajanje baterije

Presuda

TP-LINK Groovi Ripple prijenosni Bluetooth zvučnik^{(TP-LINK Groovi Ripple Portable Bluetooth Speaker)} ( BS1001 ) prvi je u svom imenu kada su u pitanju prijenosni zvučnici koje je dizajnirao i proizvodi TP-LINK . Očito je to pokušaj mreže koja je napravila da uđe na druga tržišta elektronike. Groovi Ripple^{(Groovi Ripple)} možda nije najbolji prijenosni zvučnik, ali je definitivno dobar početak za TP-LINK . Mnogi ljudi žele prijenosni zvučnik koji je vrlo jednostavan za nošenje i koji dobro zvuči. Groovi Ripple^{(Groovi Ripple)} je upravo to: male dimenzije, kvadratnog oblika da lako stane bilo gdje, mala težina za duge ceste. S druge strane, TP-LINK- ov Groovi Ripplene nudi dodatne značajke koje nude neki njegovi konkurenti, njegova maksimalna razina zvuka nije ono što biste nazvali glasnim i baterija ne traje jako dugo. Općenito, TP-LINK Groovi Ripple prijenosni Bluetooth zvučnik^{(TP-LINK Groovi Ripple Portable Bluetooth Speaker)} ( BS1001 ) dobar je izbor ako tražite relativno jeftin zvučnik i ne želite dodatne značajke poput korištenja za telefonske pozive.

Reviewing the TP-Link Groovi Ripple Portable Bluetooth Speaker (BS1001)

The Groоvi Rіpple is TP-LINK's first еver portablе Bluetooth speaker, so it's obvious that the nеtworking company is trying tо enter new markets. Although they have a very good reрutation when іt comes to the networking devices that they create, this іs their first encounter with portable sоυnd tech. Did they do a good job or did they fail? We've h ad the TP-LINK Grooνi Ripрle Portable Bluetooth Sрeaker (BS1001) in tests for more than 2 weeks and we've used it while at home, as well as on road trips and in outdооrs travels, so we now we know what it can do for its users. If you want to know too, read this review:

Unboxing the TP-LINK Groovi Ripple Portable Bluetooth Speaker (BS1001)

The TP-LINK Groovi Ripple Portable Bluetooth Speaker (BS1001) comes in a black cardboard box. Although you can't actually see the speaker until you open the box, there's an image of it printed on the front side.

Turn the box upside down or look on its sides and you'll also find details about its features and technical specifications.

Inside the package, you'll find the TP-LINK Groovi Ripple Portable Bluetooth Speaker (BS1001), a short Micro USB cable for charging the speaker, the user manual and the warranty card.

Hardware specifications

TP-LINK says that the Groovi Ripple is designed to offer full range audio with Real Sound, meaning that the speaker has a large sound driver which helps deliver a spacious and detailed sound. The TP-LINK Groovi Ripple Portable Bluetooth Speaker (BS1001) uses Bluetooth version 4.0 to connect to your smartphone, tablet or other devices. The immediate consequence is that you should be able to transmit and control the music you play on the speaker from a maximum distance of almost 20 meters or 66 feet.

Besides the wireless Bluetooth, the Groovi Ripple is also able to deliver sound via its built-in 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack, which you can use to connect the speaker to any device that doesn't have a Bluetooth chip. Unfortunately though, TP-LINK didn't also include an audio cable inside the package and you have to purchase one separately.

TP-LINK's first portable Bluetooth speaker features a 3.7V 750mAh lithium-ion polymer battery that's officially able to keep the speaker running for about 4 hours. If you'll be using a USB port on your laptop or computer for this purpose, it should take for about 2 hours to fully charge it.

The Groovi Ripple is square shaped and its size is relatively small, with dimensions of 4.1 x 3.7 x 1.5 inches (103 x 94 x 37mm) and a weight of 6.17 ounces or 175 grams.

If you want to see all the detailed technical specifications for this speaker, you can find them listed on its official website, here: TP-LINK Groovi Ripple Portable Bluetooth Speaker (BS1001) - Hardware Features.

Using the TP-LINK Groovi Ripple Portable Bluetooth Speaker (BS1001)

The first thing you'll notice about the Groovi Ripple, even before connecting it to your devices, is its square shape and small weight. Put those together with the small dimensions and you get a speaker that can easily fit inside any backpack, bag or even in one of your pockets.

The second thing that will catch your eye about the Groovi Ripple is the fact that it also features an adjustable handle that you can use to both attach the speaker to your gear and to bend it to different positions, so that the sound is directed to you.

The adjustable handle does come handy when you're outdoors and you want to hang the speaker from your backpack, for instance. There's one nice thing about it, that we'd like to mention: it has rubbery grooves on its inner side, which help the speaker stay firm and steady on whatever gear you hook it onto.

If the grooves on the backside of the handle might be the reason for the first name of this speaker - Groovi, the ripples on the front grille are definitely the reason for its last name: Ripple. Thus: the Groovi Ripple. Although the ripples on the front are probably nothing more than a design choice and have nothing to do with the quality of the sound, you must admit that they look great and give the speaker a nice touch.

The Groovi Ripple has only three buttons: the volume up and volume down buttons on the right side, and a power/Bluetooth pairing button on the left side. On the bottom rim, you'll also find the Micro USB port and the 3.5 mm audio jack.

Pairing and connecting your smartphone or tablet to the Groovi Ripple portable speaker using Bluetooth is easy and error free. All you have to do to enter pairing mode is press long on the power button. I've used TP-LINK's Groovi Ripple with a Motorola Nexus 6 and a Nokia Lumia 930 smartphone, as well as with a Kindle Fire HDX 7 tablet, and the Groovi Ripple worked great with all of them.

Then, the other buttons do exactly what they say they will , and nothing more. Unlike other Bluetooth portable speakers we've seen or reviewed , TP-LINK's Groovi Ripple doesn't support skipping to the next or to the previous song when pressing the volume buttons for longer and longer. The Groovi Ripple is also unable to work as a full standalone phone speaker system during calls: it doesn't have a microphone built-in.

I've used the TP-LINK Groovi Ripple portable speaker for a while now and I've taken it with me o n two different trips. Once, I used it during a road trip as a car stereo replacement of sorts. In small and closed spaces like inside your car, I must say that the Groovi Ripple sounds good and quite loud.

On the other hand, if you use it outdoors, like I did during a few campfires, the music you'll get from the Groovi Ripple sounds decent and the maximum volume level is nowhere near what you'd expect. The Groovi Ripple isn't very loud when compared to other portable Bluetooth speakers we've tested. And, although this speaker is very lightweight and easy to carry around, all that comes at a price: the autonomy you get from it is also less than what you'll get from other portable speaker with larger, yet heavier batteries built-in. I never quite managed to get more than 3 and a half to 4 hours out of the TP-LINK Groovi Ripple, which isn't impressive if you travel a lot.

Pros and cons

Here are some of the best features the TP-LINK Groovi Ripple Bluetooth portable speaker has:

• Good sound as long as you don't want a loud volume
• Small and square shaped, so it's easy to pack
• Lightweight, so it's easy to carry
• Adjustable, rubbery handle which you can use to hook the speaker on any gear
• Very simple Bluetooth setup

There are some negative aspects about it too:

• No NFC support
• No option to use it for phone calls
• No option to connect two speakers in a stereo setup
• Unimpressive battery life

Verdict

The TP-LINK Groovi Ripple Portable Bluetooth Speaker (BS1001) is the first of its name when it comes to portable speakers designed and manufactured by TP-LINK. It's clearly an attempt that the networking company has made to enter other electronics markets. The Groovi Ripple might not be the best portable speaker out there, but it's definitely a good start for TP-LINK. Many people want a portable speaker that's very easy to carry around and sounds good. The Groovi Ripple is exactly that: small dimensions, square shaped to easily fit anywhere, small weight for long roads. On the other hand, TP-LINK's Groovi Ripple doesn't offer the additional features that some of its competitors do, its maximum sound level is not what you'd call loud and the battery doesn't last very long . Overall, the TP-LINK Groovi Ripple Portable Bluetooth Speaker (BS1001) is a good choice if you're looking for a relatively inexpensive speaker and you don't want extra features like using it for phone calls.
