After days of rain we can finally enjoy the good weather, which fortunately accompanied us also during this Easter Monday just passed. And so begin the trips out of town, barbecues with friends, bike rides to be seasoned with good music in the background. So the perfect gadget is a Bluetooth speaker, precisely the object I'm talking about today. In particular, the review features the TOZO PE1, a product that offers the maximum audio quality, with unheard of power and a lot of portability among its strong points, which I will tell you about in this complete review.
Topics of this article:
unboxing
There is no review without the unboxing experience, which in the case of the speaker branded TOZO, I expect inside in addition to the product also a manual in English only and USB-C / USB-C charging cable. Nothing else, but then again we would not have expected surprises that instead we find in the performance of the product itself.
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
TOZO PE1 has a simple and intuitive design, showing a sturdy fabric covering on the top where the brand logo is clearly visible while the control buttons are located on the right profile. We are talking about 4 buttons, two of which allow volume control with a single click, or skip the track forward/back if held down. We then have the pairing button that allows you to disconnect the speaker from a device to pair another, but if necessary you should know that Bluetooth 5.4 also offers multipoint connectivity for using the speaker with two devices at the same time or there is also the possibility of connecting two PE1 to have a sort of stereo mode.
Finally, the fourth button allows you to turn it on/off with a long click but also play/pause with a click or with a double press we can call up the smartphone's voice assistant. However, we can also manage calls with answer, rejection and hang up as the TOZO PE1 is equipped with a microphone positioned next to the USB Type-C charging port, which is located on the front profile of the speaker. To reset the product, simply hold down the volume + and - buttons at the same time. Furthermore, the microphone allows you to quickly call up the assistant of the associated phone simply by pronouncing the magic word, Hey Google, Hey Siri, Hey Alexa. A small LED that attests the charging status of the device completes the whole thing.
The peculiarity of the speaker branded TOZO is that in the upper profile there is a hook that offers the opportunity to hang the gadget on a shoulder strap of a backpack, on the handlebars of the bike or why not, on a branch of a tree, offering the opportunity to enjoy music without taking up space on the picnic table. By the way, if you are suddenly caught by the rain, you have nothing to fear because the PE1 is IPX8 certified and therefore you can also rinse it if it falls into a puddle of dirty water.
This thing is really amazing, as is the fact that you can insert the speaker directly into a trouser pocket, considering its dimensions and weight which are really small, for the category to which the product belongs (dimensions 129 x 90 x 44 mm, weight 178 grams).
SMART FUNCTIONS
As already mentioned, it also has IPX8 certification, ideal for pool parties, at the beach and any outdoor place without the risk of damaging the device from dust and splashes of water, but above all it is the large battery that gives further emphasis to this audio gadget, but only for the autonomy that goes up to 32 continuous hours of music playback, while there is no function that transforms the product into a power bank that would have allowed you to charge other devices while you are listening to your favorite music.
AUDIO QUALITY
TOZO PE1 expresses all its audio power through a 43.5 mm dynamic driver with integrated TOZO Bass+ technology. 10W power with a sound output at the highest levels. Clear audio, ultra-powerful, full-bodied bass and in general a perfect balance between medium and high tones. It is incredible that from such a small speaker come out such bass and a generally powerful sound.
I'll return for a moment to the possibility of carrying the speaker around without fear, thinking for example of moments like camping or fishing, in which perhaps the sound source may be far from the listener, but to compensate for the situation there is the power released by the integrated driver and the possibility of anchoring it for example to a tree branch, being able to also manage incoming calls with exceptional performance, thanks to the microphone that takes care of cleaning up the ambient noise giving priority to your voice.
COMPANION APP AVAILABLE
Another gem not to be underestimated is the presence of the TOZO companion app, available for both iOS and Android, from which you can see the remaining battery charge status in numerical form, but above all you will have the possibility of adjusting the audio settings via presets but also of customizing the listening curve based on your preferences and possibly updating the firmware if the company releases one. If necessary, you can also draw on the reproduction of "white noise" to accompany your sleep.
PROJECTED IMPACT
Without a doubt, TOZO PE1 is a truly high-performance Bluetooth speaker both in terms of audio reproduction and usability. You can take it anywhere and attach it anywhere, plus the IPX8 certification (complete immersion in water up to one meter deep for 30 minutes) keeps you safe from rain and dust and the application also allows you to customize the audio experience based on the listening scenario. Finally, the price, equal to 29,99 euros directly from the Amazon store with colors available in black or blue, while if you want the red color you have to go to the manufacturer's website. In fact, right now there is an offer available that allows you to save 15% with the code SNNJHZ5B, bringing the final price to € 25,49. All this makes this audio gadget one of the best for creating a party at home and outdoors or directly in the shower.
