I'm pretty sure bluetooth has a smaller frequency range than human hearing so a true audiophile would probably scoff at this even if it has a jaguar on the box

I know very little about this but logic has me thinking the frequency range of blue tooth has nothing to do with the frequency range of the final sound produced as it's just transmitting a digital signal.

amiright?

there is nothing particularly impressive about a $3K speaker. especially one that invest so much into presentation. i can't say how good or bad this speaker sounds but this guy doesn't know shit about audio or speakers. he's basically a crow that's impressed with shiny objects.

the freq. range of bluetooth is the freq. range it can transmit/receive, so it affects audio. the encoding and decoding seems to be more problematic these days as it introduces noise, artifacting, and distortion. different bluetooth codecs have different freq. range characteristics.

Everything about this guy and this insanely overpriced speaker is offensive imo.

Oooh shiny! But the real question on my mind is, will it blend?

#1 bluetooth uses a slight offshoot of mpeg2 audio compression which gets worse because you are most likely recompressing something already compressed with mpeg and that makes things even worse. This is the strength of AptX, it is an audio compression designed to not get exponentially worse when dealing with mpeg compressed audio. THAT SAID! Anyone know what phone he is using? The GOLD phantom supports AptX, so if he uses a samsung/htc/lg phone he would have been using AptX.

#2 speaker construction, it is an overblown Flip3 with radiators on the side. The radiators are designed to capture the back pressure of speakers and convert it into more audible sound waves, very good at saving the low frequencies and directing them back at the listener. The problem is it is a secondary uncontrolled speaker. This means your sound balance can go out of wack. Perfect for a $79 portable speaker, not ideal for a $3000 home theater setup. Also the speaker appears to be..mono? so you need 2 of them for stereo?

Yea, sorry, you can buy speakers that are not much bigger than this, hell you can buy a SET of front facing speakers and a good sub for $3000 and do better.

Moving this video to makach's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

OK fine, you made me look into it more...

So Bluetooth itself is an internationally agreed upon frequency range that the information is passed. The device itself dictates the frequency range of the sound you hear so you're right.

I think I either got misinformation or I might have gotten confused thinking that a cheap speaker would sound better direct connected where the reality is any particular speaker will have a range of capability and a cheap speaker may not have one as wide as human hearing.
