Today we are going to review the Oontz Angle 3 (third Gen) Bluetooth Portable Speaker. Today nearly everyone has a Bluetooth speaker, either at home or at work or even in their cars. Speakers help us tune in to music or the radio at a lot louder volume compared with cell phones. When these started having Bluetooth’s element, they got remote and, consequently, increasingly agreeable for everyone all over the place. A similar way, the Oontz Angle 3 has a 100-foot wireless range so you can pair with it and play music a further distance. This Bluetooth speaker has a clear sound system sound that causes you to tune in to music at a louder volume as well as in a more explicit manner. It also has a rich bass that allows it to provide classical and clear music without making additional settings. These speakers additionally have a receiver and IPX5 to help give clear guidelines.
SOUND
The OontZ Angle 3 has the highest volume output of 10 Watts, which is plenty for small to medium social gatherings. Furthermore, however you would anticipate that the nature of the bass should decrease about the volume, the Passive Bass Radiator in the OontZ Angle 3 offers better bass quality without sacrificing the necessary clarity to enjoy your music fully. If you have a massive house party, you might find it a little hard to hear the lyrics or higher-end frequencies over the din, but having used it firsthand at my parties, I can attest that you’ll still be able to listen to the powerful bass tones over the noise.
In the same way as other Bluetooth speakers, the OontZ Angle 3 can likewise be used as an auxiliary speaker for calls, and it performs splendidly in such manner too. Calls are about as clear as they are with earphones or your telephone’s handset work. However, I’d advise not straying too far from the speaker when you’re on phone calls: it makes a better speaker than a microphone.
PERFORMANCE
The OontZ Angle 3 is just as elegant to use as it is in appearance. Pair and off you go. As with any Bluetooth speaker, a few reviewers have mentioned connectivity complaints, but these are far between. It connects quickly and directly, follows the directions, and you’re set. The 3.5mm input makes connecting an older or non-Bluetooth enabled device a piece of cake. The Angle 3 cannot be paired up for Party or Stereo Modes without an extra dual-channel adapter, but its bigger brother, the Angle 3 Ultra, does offer that feature. So, if you’re planning a big party then consider that.
Choosing the best feature for such a clean and straightforward device is difficult because everything comes together on equal levels to create something affordable without being cheap. The OontZ Angle 3 is no award-winning stand-out winner. Still, it does exactly what it quote to deliver clear, quality audio at a high volume with a bigger than life bass over Bluetooth technology without costing an arm and a leg. The whole picture is its best feature because it pulls it all off so well.
DESIGN
The OontZ Angle 3 is water safe, yet shouldn’t be mistaken for being waterproof. It has an IPX5 rating which implies it can deal with 12.5L of water every moment from all bearings, yet can not be somewhat or submerged. For the most part, it’s perfect for sticking your tunes in the shower, by the pool, at the seashore, or in the downpour. Included with the speaker are a 25-inch auxiliary cable, a quick start guide, and a rather short 11.5-inch Micro-USB charging cable.
You’ll discover the speaker grill on the front and a progressively rugged plastic barbecue underneath the speaker, which pushes out those lower bass tones. On the two sides of the speaker are elastic slipcovers — the right edge, including a series of buttons for functioning the unit. There’s a Bluetooth button for pairing, volume up and down, and a play/pause button the middle. The back of the OontZ Angle 3 sports a single power button with a rubber port cover underneath that keeps the Micro-USB and auxiliary ports safe from water intrusion when not in use. Following the speaker from moving around are two long rubber feet on the bottom.
BOTTOM LINE
Cambridge Soundworks’ OontZ Angle 3 is a great portable Bluetooth speaker for taking outdoors, but not because it’s the most resilient thing on the market. Please don’t make the mistake of dismissing its value only because of the low price point. When it comes to kids wanting to enjoy music by the pool without losing a more expensive speaker, the OontZ Angle 3 is a great alternative. When an attractive design isn’t a must, and you need something that can weather the outdoors without complaint, you’d have a tough time finding something more streamlined than this.
