What is the power of Daiso's cheap speakers? Listen and compare the 330 yen and 550 yen models - BCN+R
I can't believe it's 330 yen! Affordable Simple Speakers
The first thing I tried was the "USB mini speaker," which was priced at 330 yen. Color is black only. The instructions on the side of the box say that it runs on USB power. Note that an AC adapter (sold separately) is required when supplying power from an outlet. It would be most convenient to use it by connecting it to a PC. Each speaker is compact, measuring 63mm x 75mm x 55mm, and the box itself is light. It seems that it can be used without taking up space. The contents of the box were simple and contained only the speaker. Light and small enough to hold easily with one hand. On the back of the right speaker is a dial for adjusting the volume. This time, both USB and earphone jack are connected to the PC and started. When both were plugged in, sound was automatically sent. When playing music on YouTube, the sound is clearer than I expected. It is comfortable to listen to with the sound quality that everyone likes the sound of TV. I was able to enjoy it without any noise. You can also adjust the volume widely. However, it is still inferior to general speakers in picking up heavy bass and individual fine sounds. However, at 330 yen, the quality is excellent. If you're not satisfied with your PC's stand-alone speakers when watching movies or dramas, I think it's worth a try.
Comfortable with Bluetooth connection! The 550 yen speaker is recommended for BGM playback
Next is the 550 yen "Bluetooth speaker (portable type)". Now that there are many wireless speakers on the market, I think there are more people who are interested in this one. I am one of them. There are three colors available: black, gray, and navy blue. I chose gray this time. The charging time is 3.5 hours, and the playback time is 2.5 hours (at maximum volume). The size is compact with 120 mm × 79 mm × 39 mm. I was surprised at how light it was. It's about the same weight as a smartphone, or even lighter. It is convenient because it does not become a luggage when you take it with you when camping or outdoors. A USB cord for charging is included, but a separate AC adapter is required to charge from an outlet. On the back side, there are USB, SD card, and charging cord outlets. Since it's a big deal, I connected it to a PC with Bluetooth this time and played music. When you turn on the power, you will hear a startup tone and automatically enter pairing mode. By the way, I was surprised at the loud volume of this startup sound at first. Music starts when the connection is established. This one is lighter than I expected. The bass is weak and you can't feel the depth, but the overall sound is picked up well, so it wasn't difficult to hear. It's not suitable for thoroughly enjoying music, but it looks good for camping and BBQ BGM. Personally, I preferred the sound quality of the "USB mini speaker". Both are of good quality for the price. Anyway, it's cheap, so you can buy two and use them according to the purpose of use.
