Costumers Product Reviews
Pros
The quality of the speaker is excellent, as you would expect for something this price. Its nice and heavy, the plastics are good quality, the wireless pad has a rubber/silicone cover to protect your phone, and it has a large grippy base to keep it in position. Everything about it is high quality and I’m very pleased with the overall look and feel of it.
To make full use of the speaker you need to download the Soundform app, you can still use Bluetooth and the wireless charging without it but to connect it to Wi-Fi, stream music, update the firmware, and set up Alexa you will need to use the app. The app is very basic with no equalisers or settings for the speaker apart from turning off the beeping sound it makes when you use the voice assistant, it is easy to use and nicely designed though.
I’ve never listened to anything quite like this, the anti-vibration technology is really fascinating and works brilliantly. When you play bass heavy songs you get very little to no vibration but you can still hear/feel the bass, especially when you move further away from the speaker, its quite remarkable and completely different from the room shaking bass we’re used to with traditional speakers.
The sound quality is very good and although you can tell the music is coming from the speaker it still does a great job of filling the room with sound. It goes to a very high volume, more than most will ever go to and it still remains clear with minimal distortion.
Sure, if you spend the same amount of money on a normal speaker then it will probably sound a little bit better than this but this is a speaker for people who don’t want vibrations travelling through walls and furniture into the next room so you have to pay a little extra for technology like this and yet it still manages to sound amazing.
The charging pad supports fast wireless charging on my Galaxy S20+ and features a small LED light to let you know its charging. You can use Bluetooth while your phone is on the pad without it causing any interference with the music, which is something I’ve experienced in the past with other speakers like this. The wall plug is quite large and extends 9.5cm from the socket when plugged in but it’s about the same width as a normal UK plug so it will fit in between other plugs just fine.
The built-in Alexa works great, and it hears me clearly every time. So far, the only things I’ve found that Alexa can’t do is letting you make calls and announcements, but you can turn on/off smart devices and ask questions, read the news, etc.
Overall, I can’t fault this speaker one bit, it’s a fantastic device and the anti-vibration technology is brilliant, it’s so weird feeling the bass in air rather than through the floor, furniture, etc. The whole thing oozes premium and I love the design of it, well worth the money and I don’t think anyone will be disappointed with it.
Belkin and Devialet have done an excellent job creating a very stylish and great sounding speaker. I am very happy to recommend it and I feel its easily worth the full five stars!
Cons
I suggest you look for an alternative as this is not worth the money It drops out all the time and is very difficult to connect. It has no Lan port so you must use Wi-Fi. The only service it has is Spotify and nothing else, I sent an email to Belkin Customer service and no response. This is not worth the price consider a Sonos which is much better. The app for the Belkin Elite is basic and needs development do not spend your money on this for the price you can get much better. I am sending mine back
