I have used several small standalone Bluetooth speakers/speakerphones and I am still impressed with the fact that such small devices are able to deliver fairly loud sound. I find them very convenient to use, and a very attractive alternative to the headphones, particularly in situations where your music choices don’t bother those around you.

Symphonizer NXT is overall a very good speaker. It is compact, user-friendly, solidly built, and delivers pretty impressive sound. If you are an audiophile, of course, you will find a lot to complain about, but at this price range you won’t find many (if any) better alternatives. One thing that distinguishes this speaker form many of the similar ones is the strength of its bass. It is in fact a quite remarkable bass for the size of the speaker. The speaker is perfect for casual listening, especially of pop music and other music genres that don’t put high demands on the quality and range of the sound.

The speaker was easy to pair with several devices that I tried to use it with: iPhone, iPad, and Galaxy S3. The speaker stayed connected to my device throughout the use, and was instantly reconnected after I tried using it on the subsequent occasions.

I really like the look of this speaker. Its small, elegant and warm bamboo design makes it into a very nice and aesthetically appealing home accessory.

Overall, this is a pretty impressive Bluetooth speaker, as long as you don’t expect to use it for your next block party.
