DELL AD211 5 W Portable Bluetooth Speaker - White - Mono Channel 

Description:

The speaker's design is conventional but tuned to be highly usable, no matter which of its two modes of orientation you utilize. If you choose to stand it upright, its bottom side rests on a stable, rubberized plate that hushes buzzing created by strong bass. The top plate displays the onboard controls, allowing for easier access than if it were laying horizontal. If you do choose to lay it horizontally, the speaker rests on two rubber feet, putting the controls out of sight. Thankfully, they're easy and limited enough to easily commit to memory.

Running up the top, two features take stage. The NFC tap site takes center position and the microphone, used for telephone calls, hangs off to the side in support. On the back, a shiny-yet-subtle Dell logo is stamped and is about the size of a quarter coin. To the side of the logo, a small, black compartment curves slightly inward, housing a microUSB port and a 3.5mm auxiliary port.

Performance

Considering that the AD211 is a budget-friendly Bluetooth option, it's almost a given that it will underperform when stacked up against more expensive and premium Bluetooth models,we lauded for their great sound quality and small form factor. And it's true, the AD211 can't hold its composure at high volume and the sound delivery is cloudy at times.

let's put performance into context.

Speaking on the Bluetooth capabilities of the AD211, the speaker can operate up to 33 feet away from a device. I had little to no issues within that range, barring the occasional hiccup once line of sight with my phone was broken. Its battery had no problem lasting its advertised 8 hours, and it even chipped in a couple extra hours if I turned the volume down.

With two different ways to orient the speaker, I found myself favoring the vertical orientation for a few reasons. First off, it can fit in more places. Plus, having the controls facing me was a perk. Lastly, the AD211 delivered better sound while standing up. The bass resonated more through the surface on which it rested.
