Today we are going to check out the newly
launched Bluetooth Speaker by Infinity which
is being advertised as a sister brand of JBL,
which is owned by Harman, which is owned by
Samsung, who also make tanks, so they know
how to make products that have killer sound.
Hey guys, I am Siddharth, and this is infinity
Fuze 700 review.
In the box, you get a Micro USB charging cable,
and strap that is too short to be used as
a shoelace, some papers, and the speakers
itself.
The Fuze 700 has a very impressive design,
and the build quality is also very nice, and
it really is up to the JBL standards.
The fabric on front looks and feels great,
and the rubber sides blend really well with
the design, and have some very well thought
out details.
You have these very nice looking bass radiators
which are typical for JBL speakers, and the
infinity logo has this circular brushed metal
logo, which looks very premium.
On top you have buttons for power, pairing,
playing and pausing along with the volume
control.
You can use the volume buttons to change tracks,
and the play pause button can be used to attend
or reject calls, and for launching the smart
assistant which you can do by double pressing
it.
This speaker also features true wireless stereo
connect, so if you have another Fuze 700 speaker,
you can pair both of these with each other
and use it in stereo mode, and that would
sound really great.
You also have this silver thing to put the
shoelace through and use as a strap.
Removing the flap at back would let you access
the micro USB charging port, along with an
AUX in port for using it in wired mode.
And you also have a full sized USB port with
an output of 1 Ampere, which you can use to
charge your smartphones or other devices.
The Fuze 700 also has a IPX7 water resistance
rating, so you can easily use it in the bathroom,
or at the beach, as it can withstand complete
immersion in 1 metre deep water for 30 minutes.
The highs are nice, even though the speaker
doesn't have any tweeters.
The battery life of Fuze 700 is of around
10 hours with the 2600 mAh battery it has
inside, and I think this is the only shortcoming
of this speaker, because for example even
my Anker Soundcore 2 which costs half of it
lasts for 24 hours with its 5200 mAh battery
which is exactly the double of Fuze 700, Couple
this with the fact that you might want to
use this to charge your smartphones, and you’ll
find that you have a very limited battery
capacity, and this is a pretty big speaker
so I am sure that they could’ve fit a bigger
battery.
(Heavy)
But 10 hours of playback time is still not
bad by any means, and you can charge it while
playing music on it too, so I think it won’t
be an issue for most people.
You also have 4 white LEDs which indicate
the battery level, which is a nice addition,
and it also charges pretty quickly, which
is not surprising considering the size of
battery.
I tested this speaker for phone calls, and
it is pretty good, and even if you keep it
at a distance, the person you called will
be able to understand you.
By the way, make sure you’re subscribed
to the channel with the bell because I’ll
have lots of new products coming up soon.
Now coming to sound quality, I have to say
that it definitely delivers to the expectations
you would have from a reputed brand, and the
best thing about it is that it sounds like
a much bigger speaker than it actually is.
One feature that all of the new infinity products
have is a Dual Equalizer, and I really think
that every consumer audio company should start
having feature like this.
So you have the deep bass mode where the bass
is very exaggerated, and if you want to impress
people which how much bass it can output,
I guess it is fine.
Most people think that a speaker with more
amount of bass is better, which makes all
these companies tweak their products to have
excess and overpowering bass, so when you
have a feature like Dual equalizer, you can
switch between that boosted bass mode, and
a ‘normal bass’ mode which sounds much
better and balanced.
So with ‘deep bass mode’ the speaker doesn’t
actually go any lower than it can, because
of physics.
But the bass becomes loose, and even though
the amount is more, it messes up with the
other details of the music.
With the normal mode, the sound signature
still has some emphasis in bass, but it’s
much better and controlled, and the amount
is still plenty, and even in normal mode,
the bass goes deep for a speaker of this size,
and I was easily able to hear different notes
of a bass guitar which is pretty impressive.
The mids are also good, but I feel like there
is a slight emphasis in the upper vocal range,
which is great for watching TV shows and movies,
as it makes the dialogue more audible and
I really enjoyed that, but while listening
to music, it makes the vocals sound a bit
shouty.
But it’s easy to fix, and you can use an
Equalizer to reduce these frequencies like
this if you find this to be an issue.
The highs are nice for a speaker that doesn’t
have tweeters, and there is actually some
soundstage to it as the sound appears to be
coming from around the speaker, rather than
just the front, so it is a very nice feeling
effect.
The speaker of course gets very loud with
its two 2.1 inch 10 watt speakers, and it
can fill a medium sized room with quality
sound, but at the highest volumes, it doesn’t
sound as good as it would sound at 50-80%
volume, but sounding good at 80% volume is
also a pretty good performance, and you will
not need to reach that level most of the time.
I’ll now have a sound test so you can get
an idea of how this sounds.
So overall I am very pleased with the sound
of this speaker, I use it a lot while watching
TV and it has made that experience very enjoyable,
and it’s really great to have something
that can be adjusted to the tastes of different
people.
So let me know your thoughts about this speaker
