Design, construction
If you recognize this device as Bose SoundLink Mini, then you are not mistaken. Apparently, the Samsung accessory division was tasked with taking an example from the best product on the market - they took it, copied it, added their own features, and this is the gadget they got. By the way, it costs less than Bose, but let's talk about the rest. So that you have no doubt about the similarity, look carefully at the photo. The design of the front “grill” is similar, even the location of the connectors is similar, the rectangular area on top with buttons – it seems very similar.
Interestingly, the massive body here is made of metal, and this is captivating. The speaker turned out to be heavy, you can’t easily carry it in your pocket; it weighs as much as 842 grams. Dimensions – 200 x 55.1 x 62 mm, there are no questions about assembly, everything is very good.
Frontal and back panel also made of metal, in general, the body here makes an impression, in the hand it’s like a metal block. Two colors, gold and black.
It’s very good that the 3.5 mm and microUSB connectors do not have plugs, so you can quickly connect cables. There is no protection from water here. On the bottom there are massive rubber feet, the light indicators are well made. The controls are quite clear, Play/Pause button, volume control, on/off. Please note that the speaker does not have a speakerphone.
Peculiarities
The Dual Sound function is supported; two Samsung speakers can be combined into a stereo pair. Naturally, it is possible to connect two devices at once to one Samsung Level Box Pro– it’s convenient; you can alternately play music from your smartphone, tablet or laptop. The UHQ codec improves the sound of tracks; it would be interesting to disable this add-on to understand the difference; this is not yet possible.
The speaker can be paired with the Samsung Level application, the screen displays the device time, whether UHQ Audio is active, you can set the equalizer, adjust the volume, and use other functions. My advice would be this if you listen to FLAC from a device on Android based, UHQ can be turned off, with SoundAlive you can play around as much as you like, but the best result is obtained when setting the controls to the middle.
Opening hours
Operating time in playback mode is about 9 hours, for this speaker price category very little, let me remind you that the device costs 11,990 rubles at retail. JBL Charge 3 costs about 11,000 rubles and gives the user completely different capabilities - for example, a working time of about 20 hours.
Sound
I compared the sound with the Bose SoundLink Mini II and JBL Charge 3, compared to the first Samsung Level Box Pro it just doesn’t seem to play, least of all - brightness, meaning, highs and lows, in general, I just wanted to leave Bose and end the experiments. There was only one device Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. Well, JBL Charge 3 seems ten times more powerful, apparently due to well-installed passive radiators. Although Samsung Level Box Pro is quite powerful, it claims 20 W!
In general, if we consider the speaker in isolation from its competitors, without comparison, then everything is not bad - and even moreover, everything is very good. The nuances only emerge when you place the mentioned devices next to each other. Let me note that these are not some obscure crafts; both columns are bestsellers in their categories. And Samsung, when creating its solution, could focus on functionality and sound - catch up and overtake, as with smartphones. Alas, it hasn't worked out yet.
Conclusions
In retail the device costs 11,990 rubles, what can I say, I wouldn’t buy it. There is no water protection, no USB port for charging gadgets, a heavy metal speaker similar to Bose products - so similar that one of my friends called it a fake. At the same time, it is quite convenient application, there are sound settings, the ability to experiment, even aptX support. But, but, but... It’s better to choose JBL Charge 3, for the same money you’ll get more positive emotions.
