It is normal for young people nowadays to have one or two Bluetooth speakers at home. Portability, ease of use, freedom from restraint, and multi-scenario versatility are the main reasons for the popularity of Bluetooth speakers - you can't wear headphones to listen to music while taking a shower, right?

 

However, compared to indoor speakers, there are not so many options for Bluetooth speakers suitable for outdoor scenes that require stronger sound effects. Recently, Libratone (Little Bird Audio) from Scandinavia and Denmark launched the Libratone ONE portable Bluetooth speaker, which focuses on outdoor convenience, which may be suitable for such a scene.

 

 

The so-called "focus on outdoor", you can imagine the typical scene is a group of young people going out together for a picnic and partying, or hip-hop enthusiasts fighting in the street. Of course, if you are willing, you can use it for square dancing for your aunt.

 

But since it is outdoors, let’s not talk about whether it sounds good or not. Looking good is the most important thing.

 

Libratone ONE has two versions. The standard version adopts a slant hook design, and the versatile version is equipped with a U-shaped lock and genuine leather strap accessories, which can be carried, placed, hung, and carried on the back. There are four colors: gray, black, red and green. Judging from the color tone, it is indeed more fashionable and fresh, suitable for young people.

 

 

Generally speaking, Libratone ONE looks pretty good. Although there is nothing particularly outstanding in its appearance design, it is balanced and has a round and silly feel that should win the liking of many people. In addition, the IPX4 waterproof design can also meet the needs of various outdoor scenes. You don’t have to worry about rain or swimming pool use.

 

However, it must be mentioned that Libratone ONE is still a bit heavy. The weight of 890g is simply close to two kilograms. It is basically impossible to hold it in your hand for a long time. Carrying the speaker on your back, putting it in the car, placing it on the ground or hanging it on a tree at your destination seems to be a more realistic way of using it.

 

 

The good news is that this weight guarantees its battery life. After testing, we found that the "12 hours of battery life" on the product description is basically no problem.

 

And the advantage of size also ensures sound quality and sound effects. Libratone ONE has a 3-inch woofer, a 1-inch tweeter and two 2.7-inch passive units. Libratone ONE is said to use "unique FullRoom surround sound technology" to provide a 360-degree uniform sound field.

 

 

But no matter what the technology is, your own sense of hearing is the most important. As far as the author's personal test experience is concerned, Libratone ONE's bass is indeed thicker than ordinary Bluetooth speakers, and its midrange performance is also good, but I don't feel a strong difference in the treble. Overall, Libratone ONE's space coverage capability is the biggest highlight.

 

In terms of control, Libratone ONE is as convenient as most Bluetooth speakers. The Bluetooth connection is very fast and supports real-time control of the APP. The touch interface is simple and friendly, which can be accomplished through the unique bird touch key: rotating the finger clockwise or counterclockwise on the touch interface can increase or decrease the volume. Libratone ONE also supports the simultaneous establishment of two speakers to create surround sound effects.

 

 

In terms of price, the Libratone ONE standard version is 1,199 yuan, and the versatile version is 1,399 yuan. As a speaker brand that has just entered the Chinese market, Libratone ONE's main sales channels are online, including JD.com and Tmall flagship stores; offline channels are concentrated in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and initially one experience store will be opened in Beijing and Shanghai.

 

We believe that Bluetooth speakers in the thousand-yuan range are indeed not cheap and are suitable for users with strong outdoor use needs. If you often play and party outdoors with a group of friends and like to have fun with a group of people, you may consider buying one.
