Wave Bomber ultra-compact wireless column overview. Wireless Acoustics Wave Bomber Wave Bomber Silver Column Portable
All pictures are clichable
All kinds portable acoustics With support for wireless broadcast sound on the market there is a lot. Almost every famous manufacturer noted on this field very interesting decisions, whether. Unfortunately, good sound, modest dimensions and interesting design of devices accompanies a completely immodest price in more than $ 100. In general, there is nothing surprising in this, and for wireless acoustics from well-known brands you always have to upload a decent amount, or to look for a less well-known alternative and, there are often problems with this. In particular, you buy some non-name product for 1000-1500 rubles, and then tritely regret the spent money and you think that you had to throw as much and take a proven solution. Nevertheless, there are exceptions, about one of which I want to tell in this article. His name - Wave Bomber. I am looking forward to note - this thing surprised me that it happens infrequently, especially when we are talking about previously unknown brands. I do not believe in miracles, but sometimes they happen. Well, let's talk about this miniature column in more detail.
Metal
Usually, plastic is used in the design of acoustic systems, and the metal can be detected only in the dynamics protective grille. In the case of Wave Bomber "Noble" Iron a little more than usual and in addition to the lattice, it is also applied in the device case.
Its most of it is made of a certain light alloy, it is possible that the aluminum with the texture under raw metal - it looks great. In addition, there is a practical component in it - on such a surface, fingerprints are invisible.
From the plastic only the lower part of the column is made and here it is already there to be complaining. First, I did not like the place of the junction, somehow it looks very careful. Secondly, gloss. Theoretically, it should look good on the background of the matte metal, but in practice, somehow does not look very much. Although, all this is a matter of taste, and the prints in that part are not particularly noticeable. So the main claim only to the joint between the halves of the plastic part of the column. The dynamics grille, by the way, also glossy, but in this case everything is fine and such a gloss in the topic:
In general, the impression of the appearance of the column is positive, which is the cause of the abundance of metal and its texture. In addition, it was performed very carefully - there are neither backlash, nor any other movements of individual parts of the device when squeezing and twisting (I do not know why it is twisted, but I tried it, but why not?).
It is worth mentioning about the dimensions of Wave Bomber constituting 62x62x50 mm. That is, the device will take at least a place in a backpack or bag and you can safely carry it with you. Suddenly he wants to listen to music at dinner, for example, to improve the process of consumption of useful calories, so to speak.
Also also add that the lower part of the column contains an insert from rubber or dense silicone, but it is used not only for the sake of improving the stability of the device on flat and smooth surfaces. Technology implemented in the gadget Mini Bass Shaker., allowing to use to improve the quality of bass any surface on which the device is standing, turning it into a kind of resonator, and we will talk about it in the next part of the review.
Small and daring
This is how - for their dimensions, the column sounds not just loud, but dRAKEAlthough it has a wide-range speaker with a power of everything in 3 Watta. Nevertheless, they turned out to be enough to drag a very good embedded acoustics in. And I speak both about the volume and the bass. Perhaps the reason was the most MINI Bass Shaker technology, but somehow I did not notice a particularly strong difference between different surfaces.
Although, on a thick glass table, the accessory began to bagga even a little loose than being raised into the air. But a little depth is added on the wooden surface. But I repeat, the difference is not too critical to take it into account. The main thing is the result, and it is good without additional surfaces. And the column was omnivorous. She copes well with both pop music and with electronics, both with heavy and light ethnic motifs.
The sound on the device can be broadcast through the wire through the standard 3.5 mm Jack and Bluetooth. In the latter case, A2DP and AVRCP profiles are supported. Complete cable really liked - flat, rubberized and soft. Its length is one meter:
As for Bluetooth broadcast, the miracle did not happen. The sound quality is worse in this mode. It is less detailed, the bass is weaker, although for the background it will go.
The manufacturer does not focus on the version of the Bluetooth protocol used, but it is clear 2.0 or 2.1 . In newer versions with the quality of sound broadcast, the situation is a bit better.
I will add that for wirelessly connect the column you must enter it into the search mode. To do this, it is enough for 6-7 seconds to clamp a multifunctional button at the bottom until the LED flashes blue and red:
After that, Wave Bomber easily connected to the iPhone, and to MacBook. If you wish, the accessory can be used as a speakerphone and respond to calls. There are no revelations - an ordinary omnidirectional microphone, standard functionality.
The power of the built-in battery is enough for 6-7 hours of operating column in offline mode. Charging comes from uSB ports in 2-3 hours.
Good.
As I spoke at the beginning of the article, the acoustics Wave Bomber surprised me. This applies to both sound quality and materials used in the device housing. Yes, there are nuances, such as the features of the design of the lower plastic part of the column. It is not entirely clear whether the resonator works, but the bass and so enough.
The main plus is the price. Languy producer for the $ 100 column and in this case it is better to take something better known. But the hero of the review will cost everything in $40–45 And for this money, it is an excellent alternative to brand and promoted acoustic systems with a price tag often in Russia.

- 26 May 2014I went to the store to choose a new portable acoustics for laptop. She overpowered a bunch of columns, took this. If you do not take into account the relatively small volume and the average sound quality via Bluetooth, the device is excellent.

5 1Golovin Yuri.
- June 18, 2016If at least some indication were added ... Regarding that there is no volume adjustment, it is not needed ... completely, if you listen to the wire, you are adjustable from the device (tablet or laptop), and from the phone over the bluetooth, the more.

2 0Konopatova Anastasia
- March 8, 2017Advantages:
Little and compact portable speakerThe hull is made of metal. During operation, reliability confirmed. Almost on any surface is perfect, not sliding, the lower part is rubbering. Due to the last sound vibrations spread over the surface to which it was installed, for example on a wooden table. Basi is simply great for such a small device. There is also a function loud communication What is very convenient.
Disadvantages:
When listening to music via Bluetooth on the maximum volume is discharged in a few hours. With moderate operation, charging is enough for several days. Complete cable caught not very good, the plug quickly broke. Lovers of volumetric sound is better to test another model. Basi "swing", but there is a feeling of "squeakyness" if you compare with the speakers to the step above.
Use period:
Muhamedov Timur
- May 5, 2017I bought when the Crimea was still not ours and when the ruble in relation to the dollar held at a decent level. I cost me 1.2.2k that ...
Advantages:
Good, juicy sound. A good assembly, despite the pretty non-zero switches (the call button and inclusion) column is assembled monolithically and firmly, it does not rattle anything anywhere and not the backup, even after several drops, nothing except dents and Zartpin noticed.
The sound is really good, he is moderately loud, but there are bass and volume, especially if the column is on the appropriate surface.
Super-compact, bass, in a solid housing - it seems one of the best miniature audio devices that can be thrown into the bag and remember it only if necessary, it is a bit of your favorite music.
- Speaker: 3 Watta
- Reproducible frequency range: 120-20000 Hz
- Wireless connection: with A2DP support
- Audio input: 3.5 mm
- Battery: Built-in, 400 Mah, up to 7 hours of work
- Dimensions: 62 x 62 x 50 mm
- Additionally: NFC, work as speakerfone
Equipment I. appearance
Wave Bomber Packaging is simple: a compact cardboard box in which you can find the column itself, the lace, on both sides, having a 3.5 mm connector and a special lining for a more stable column location on the table.
The metal cylinder column is highly compact, the top end is covered with the mesh of the dynamics, the lower part of the body is made of plastic. No special delights, but looks Wave Bomber pretty nice.
Control and connectivity
The control buttons on the column, in fact, and not - only a slider of turning on / off Yes The function button responsible for activating the pairing mode via Bluetooth or receiving / ringing a call - after all, the Bomber can also earn a speakerphone. If the sound source does not have the ability to connect without wire, you can also use the cable from the set. And if there is not only Bluetooth in the smartphone, but also NFC, then the pairing of the pocket sound source and the columns from Wave will be as easy as possible.
Operation of the device
As for the genres of music, which the column would be approached more - there were no such noticed, Bomber coped with the classics equally well, and with works noticeably sore. Of course, all the subtleties of the concert record of the London symphony under the control of Gergiev will not be able to hear, but also the goals of the column are different, do not forget this moment.
The capacity of the built-in battery may seem very small, only 400 mAh, but Wave Bomber is not a boombox with a pair of low-frequency speakers and the size of a polystile, why, actually, the column and is ready to please the user with a fairly decent sound for up to 7 hours. By the way, the bass is still available, and for Bobmer's dimensions it is very decent. It is achieved by using a vibratory subwoofer, which uses smooth solid surfaces as a resonator.
Well, traditionally, already for the products of Wave, the device under the name Bomber is capable of performing the obligations of a speakerphone, although, of course, in a noisy setting or from a distance to meter-other use this device's ability will be very difficult.
Outcome
With recommended retail price 1290 rubles Wave Bomber is almost an ideal pocket column. Maybe, of course, the playback control buttons are not enough, but for the tasks to announce a small zone around themselves in nature, in the office or at the kitchen table during breakfast this accessory Quite enough.
