Vifa Oslo Bluetooth Speaker, Portable Wireless Speakers, Compact Rechargeable, Hi-Fi Audio, Xmas Gift, Deep Bass Speaker for Camping Travel, Outdoor Party(Slate Black)

I purchased and compared three speakers, the Vifa Oslo, Marshall Kilburn II, and Beolit 17 in an attempt to find the ultimate premium Bluetooth speaker that was roughly lunchbox sized. The Vifa was clearly the best in terms of mid range and highs, with forward presentation of sound and quick response detail. In "Danger Zone", the percussion hits especially were clearest on the Vifa Oslo. The Beolit 17 had the best bass, but tended to become a little muddy at times, exaggerating the low end excessively. The Kilburn II trailed the pack but at half the price of the other two speakers, held up surprisingly well. Vifa Oslo Sound: Absolute best sounding midrange and high end. Low end doesn't go quite low enough. Forward presentation, not especially wide soundstage. Sounds fantastic for pop, and electronic pieces. Tight sweet spot on this speaker, doesn't fill a room especially well, but great for sitting in front of. Best build quality. The handle piece is made of what seems to be steel and feels cool to the touch. It feels incredibly well built and designed. The app is such a piece of crap you should ignore it. The controls are poorly designed: the power button is on the back and turning the device off is kind of a chore, it requires you to hold the button for an absurd amount of time, first cycling through bluetooth pairing (WHY!?) and then watching an LED indicator change colors before turning off. Proprietary charger. You need to read a manual to use this speaker. Beolit 17: Sound: Very wide soundstage, blasts in all directions. Not much of a sweet spot due to 360 sound projection. Very good mids and highs but not as good as the Oslo. Extremely deep bass extension. Pendulum's Watercolour sounds great, extending deep into notes not found on other speakers. Has a bit of a 'dance hall' sound to it, due to the 360 projection of sound. Not the best speaker to sit in front of and listen to as a result. Low end can get slightly exaggerated and slightly muddy. Depending on material, this or the Oslo is best. If you like a lot of bass, you can't beat this speaker. If you prefer mid to high end, Oslo. Definitely beats out the Kilburn. Build: Generally great build quality. Leather handle is fancy, but seems like it might not wear all that well. Excellent use of USB-C charging, extremely convenient. USB-C implementation here can even CHARGE YOUR PHONE! What a nice feature. App is okay, but buggy. At least it works. Controls: Not bad. Power button on top is slightly weird, you have to hold the button down to turn it off, but the LED light is under your finger, so you don't know how long to press down for to turn it off. Nice to have other buttons on top including start stop buttons. Clear bluetooth pairing button. Kilburn II Sound: It's much better than most cheaper speakers under say, $150. Certainly far better than a UE Boom 2 / 3. Compares unfavorably to a Sonos Play 1, 3, or 5. For most non audiophiles they'll love this speaker. Slightly muddy everything compared to the other speakers. Decent bass extension. Works well with pretty much any material. You won't get crystal clear lifelike renditions, but hey, it costs half of the other two. Build quality: Not too shabby at this price point. Feels pretty solid, nice furry strap. It's definitely nowhere near the other two speakers, but they did a great job for HALF the price. Great looking design. Controls: Awesome. Physical knobs. The best. It's simple to turn on and off, it's easy to adjust volume, bass, treble. Bass and treble adjustments increase mud unfortunately. Dedicated bluetooth button for pairing. No instruction manual needed. Built in power supply which is nice, no fat dongle. Overall: Buy the Oslo if you prefer a tighter all around sound with a narrower soundstage, but great mids and highs. If you like the sound from say, a Shure IEM, you'll love this. Buy the Beolit 17 if you prefer a wider soundstage with a dance hall feel, with deep bass extension. If you want your portable speaker to sound like it has a subwoofer, this is the one for you. The sound reminds me a bit of the Klipsch Promedia 2.1s. Buy the Kilburn II if you aren't THAT picky and want a decent value. It's half the price of the others and maybe 70% as good sounding. Overall for the material I listen to, the Oslo is the winner.

The Vifa Oslo is a very unique Bluetooth speaker. Its size says there should be very little bass but it is just the opposite. The bass is very much there and extremely accurate. It is not bloated or overwhelming like many Bluetooth speakers. The mids are very, very good and the highs are perfect. If you are used to listening to a boom box type speaker this one will may at first sound thin and lacking the bottom end. However, if you listen to this speaker for a while you will find out just how musical it is, and that there is really plenty of bass. It also operates on the AptX codec and not the usual SBC for a higher data transfer and better sound quality. I also own the Harmon Kardon Go+Play 2 and Go+Play 3. The Oslo is my favorite. I have not had any trouble with connections or battery. Battery life is about 8 hours with the Oslo at a medium listening level.

This is a high-quality speaker all around. The sound that this produces is crisp, clear, and articulate with a good amount of spaciousness for the size of the speaker. Don't get me wrong, it is fairly large, but it still sounds much larger than it is. It also has the ability to get very loud, though I do not use it for wall-shaking volume levels - I find that I like this best for background music with friends during game night or for conversation as it is full, rich, and detailed, without pushing any pressure levels that makes anyone feel uncomfortable (my wife has issues with pressure levels from low frequencies, so our Marshall Woburn can be an issue, and I have issues with high range frequencies, so the 18krz cutoff is perfect. The two full-range drivers handle everything I have thrown at it from Zappa's jazz years and Mahavishnu Orchestra to Protugal. The Man's latest. Takes everything with ease. Of particular note are the force balanced woofers that give strong bass presence without being commanding and the ability to use the app to se the speaker to "night mode," which takes some of the extra wattage and uses it to make the drivers even more rich and detailed at the expense of overall volume. While the app is middling at best, it is not necessary outside some minor setup tweaks, and even those are optional, so I am not going to ding the speak for the faults of the app. This is the best portable speaker that I have owned and has become my personal companion. It beat out a number from JBL, H/K, B&O, Marshall (though they are a very close second if you need loud and muscular), and Klipsch. I cannot recommend enough.

Die hochwertige Verarbeitung des Vifa Oslo ist einfach herausragend. Die Vorderseite ist mit einem Stoff bezogen, der von höchster Qualität ist und dem Lautsprecher ein elegantes Aussehen verleiht. Die Seiten sind mit lackiertem Metall versehen, was dem Gerät eine robuste und hochwertige Optik verleiht. Diese Kombination aus Stoff und Metall verleiht dem Lautsprecher einen edlen und modernen Look. Neben dem ästhetischen Aspekt hat mich der Sound des Vifa Oslo wirklich umgehauen. Die Oslo liefern einen unglaublichen Klang, der klar, ausgewogen und kraftvoll ist. Egal ob ich meine Lieblingsmusik höre, Filme schaue oder Podcasts genieße, die Vifa Oslo sorgt immer für ein immersives Hörerlebnis. Die Bässe sind tief und die Höhen sind klar und präzise. Ich war so beeindruckt von der Leistung des Vifa Oslo, dass ich ein Video darüber auf meinem YouTube-Kanal "AudioTechniker" gemacht habe. In dem Video zeige ich die hochwertige Verarbeitung des Lautsprechers und demonstriere den beeindruckenden Sound. Ich möchte meine Zuschauer und Follower dazu ermutigen, sich den Vifa Oslo genauer anzusehen, da er meiner Meinung nach einer der besten Bluetooth Lautsprecher auf dem Markt ist. Zusammenfassend kann ich den Vifa Oslo Bluetooth Lautsprecher uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Die hochwertige Verarbeitung, das ansprechende Design und der beeindruckende Klang machen ihn zu einem fantastischen Gerät. Wenn Sie auf der Suche nach einem Bluetooth Lautsprecher sind, der sowohl optisch als auch klanglich höchsten Ansprüchen gerecht wird, dann ist der Vifa Oslo definitiv eine hervorragende Wahl. Vielen Dank an Vifa für die Entwicklung eines solch großartigen Produkts!

Je suis adepte de la hifi depuis plus de 15 ans et je suis réellement agréablement surpris par la qualité de l enceinte. Ce n est pas la plus sexy du marché mais le son est tout simplement équilibre sur les aigu et les graves. Une vraie belle réussite.

Auch über Bluetooth klingt der Lautspecher sehr natürlich und ohne Boombass!
