Design
1.volume
412.61cm³
Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by the product's chassis or, in simpler terms, the space the product occupies.
A speaker driver is an individual transducer that converts electrical energy to sound waves. More drivers may result in better sound quality.
3.control panel placed on a device
✔Harman Kardon Neo
There is a control panel on the device body, so you can easily access the volume control or remote without having to interact with a cable or another device it's connected to.
4.weather-sealed (splashproof)
✔Harman Kardon Neo
The device is protected with extra seals to prevent failures caused by dust, raindrops, and water splashes.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device. Bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
6.is dustproof and water-resistant
✔Harman Kardon Neo
The device is dustproof and water-resistant. Water-resistant devices can resist the penetration of water, such as powerful water jets, but not being submerged into water.
7.has a neodymium magnet
✖Harman Kardon Neo
Devices with neodymium magnets are lighter and more powerful than those which use ferrite magnets. They also have more bass and clear high notes.
8.weight
251g
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
9.has a detachable cable
✔Harman Kardon Neo
With a detachable cable you can use alternative cables, and if the cable is pulled it will pop out instead of breaking.
Sound quality
1.has stereo speakers
✖Harman Kardon Neo
Devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better experience.
2.lowest frequency
130Hz
The lowest frequency at which the device produces audio. The lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
3.has a subwoofer
✖Harman Kardon Neo
Devices with a subwoofer have a higher quality, deeper bass.
4.Has a passive radiator
✖Harman Kardon Neo
A passive radiator is a type of driver (speaker) that doesn't have a voice coil and a magnet. The sound vibrations produced by a passive radiator depend on its mass and the size of its enclosure. It is usually used in combination with a woofer to produce deep bass tones.
5.highest frequency
20000Hz
The highest frequency at which device produces audio. The higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
6.has a noise-canceling microphone
✖Harman Kardon Neo
These microphones are designed to filter out background noise from the desired sound. Especially useful in noisy environments.
Signal-to-noise ratio is a measure that compares the level of a desired signal (meaningful information) to the level of background noise (unwanted signal), the bigger the less perceived noise.
More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.
9.has a magnetic shielding
✖Harman Kardon Neo
A magnetic shielding limits the coupling of a magnetic field between two devices. The purpose is to prevent magnetic fields from interfering with electrical devices and avoid distortion (of TV, monitors, hard drives etc.).
Power
1.has a rechargeable battery
✔Harman Kardon Neo
The battery can be recharged and used over again.
2.has a battery level indicator
✔Harman Kardon Neo
An indicator shows you when the device has low battery.
3.battery power
1000mAh
Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store. More battery power can be an indication of longer battery life.
The device's battery life (when in use) as given by the manufacturer. With a longer battery life you have to charge the device less often.
The time it takes to fully charge the battery.
6.has wireless charging
✔Harman Kardon Neo
The manufacturer offers a branded wireless charging kit. To charge the device, you simply put it down on its charging base.
7.can be used with standard batteries
