Audio Pro P5 Portable Bluetooth Speaker (Black)

Product Information

Audio Pro is known for making speakers with a simple, modern design and fantastic sound. Their smallest is the Audio Pro P5, it doesn’t have tonnes of features but it does deliver music in the way that it was meant to be heard.Small enough to fit in your bag, it’s the perfect music-listening companion for those who care more about quality than anything else. Prices valid in stores (all including VAT) until close of business on 28th November 2023. (Some of these web prices are cheaper than in-store, so please mention that you've seen these offers online.) Pairing the device is very normal to any other device I have paired via my phone and was very easy and not problematic at all. Even when pairing to a second device just press and hold the pairing buttons of both speakers and they will pair. Unfortunately, I was only given one speaker to review so could not test the stereo mode. Audio Quality There’s support for MP3, AAC, WMA, Apple Lossless and FLAC audio files via the aux input, and that is your lot on the features side. A short story indeed. Sound Quality Battery life is quoted at 14 hours, which is respectable enough but at this price point it’s towards the lower end of the scale. The likes of the Wonderboom 3, EarFun Uboom L and Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 all encroach on the P5’s battery levels at less expense. The Charge 5 adds five more hours on top, while the Emberton II more than doubles it.

Played at half volume, the P5’s battery life stretches to 14 hours – easily enough for a day’s entertainment – indoors or out.It feels robust, like a speaker that could survive some drops and remain unperturbed by scratches and scuff marks. At 729g the P5 is not insubstantial in terms of weight – Audio Pro says you could put this in your travel luggage for holidays and at 22 x 9.7 x 5.3cm (HWD) that is true, but it’s not any smaller than the competition. The Marshall Emberton II, for example, is more compact. On the side is a flap that conceals an aux 3.5mm input and a USB-C input (for charging). This little compartment contributes to the speaker’s IPX4 rating, which is not strong as I’d have expected for a portable speaker. It indicates that the P5 is fine against splashes of water but hasn’t been tested against dust and small particles (like sand). Both the Emberton II and JBL Charge 5 offer far sturdier resistance in that context. Features With award-winning speakers across their range, Audio Pro are one of the most highly respected brands in the business. The Scandinavian company puts strong emphasis on sound quality, with their advanced speaker tech producing detailed and vibrant sound. Equally strong on style, their timeless speakers never fail to hit the mark. With the P5, you get all the usual Audio Pro qualities, plus weatherproof portability. You can read more about it in the full Audio Pro P5 review . Are Bluetooth and wireless the same thing? The P5 is fairly agile but not massively so in terms of dynamism, capturing the inflections of Annette Askvik’s vocals in Liberty well, while that tonal warmth presents voices with an appealing richness and solid clarity. In fact, the P5 treated vocals well with any song I fed it.

Warm and rich are two words to describe the direction Audio Pro has taken with the P5. At its best, the P5 offers a fun, lively sound that puts you in the mood for heading outdoors, or indeed, enjoying its sound when you’re outside. full-range ที่ตอบสนองย่านความถี่เสียงได้กว้าง แต่ไม่ครอบคลุม สำหรับลำโพงไร้สาย P5 ภายในมีแอมป์ขยายเสียงถึง 2 ตัว รวมถึงมีดอกลำโพงช่วยส่งคลื่นเสียงถี่สูงขนาด 1 นิ้วกับไดรฟ์เวอร์วูฟเฟอร์ขนาดกลาง 3.2 นิ้ว จึงให้ย่านความถี่เสียงที่ครบถ้วนตั้งแต่ต่ำสุดจนถึงสูงสุด So you may well be thinking the Audio Pro BT5 could fill a gap and look rather nice on a shelf somewhere. It’s simple, stylish and effective – maybe there was room for one more Bluetooth speaker after all. All that’s great about Audio Pro is now available in a stylish, portable Bluetooth speaker, with the Audio Pro P5. Connection is via Bluetooth 5.0 and two P5’s can be paired to play in stereo. Battery life is quoted as 4 hours at full volume, however running at half volume will extend that to 14 hours.The Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3 is undoubtedly the best cheap Bluetooth speaker on this list, combining good sound with an ultraportable design and effective 360-degree audio. It's just a straight-up Bluetooth speaker but you can pair two of them together either in stereo or dual mono.Clearly meant to be taken to wherever the party is, it's also fully waterproof – in fact, it even floats. Being IP57 rated, it's also well protected against grit, saltwater, dust and beach-side sand, so long as you keep the USB charger cover in place. To hear your music as the artist intended, add another P5 for TWS (True Wireless Stereo) sound. Stereo sound recreates the stage effect, letting you easily distinguish between all the different instruments and vocals. Having two speakers also increases the volume and bass impact, making the music even more immersive.

Weighing in at just over half a kilo, there’s little chance of it taking your suitcase over the weight limit at the airport when you’re ready to fly again. The Beosound A1 v2 finds its way to the top of this list thanks to sheer audio quality for the size – we were impressed by its full, punchy sound that's fairly expansive, and that doesn't crush when going loud. That's no surprise when it comes from Bang & Olufsen, of course. And it follows B&O's usual MO of having quite a neutral sound out of the box, but you can use the app to customise the audio – we at T3 like to push up the bass of B&O's products a little, and that's so easy to do and then save as a preset.

Specification

Audio Pro isn’t a brand for grand statements. There’s a sense of modesty to their approach that’s less eye-catching than other brands. The P5 as you might expect really sounds very good, the bass and treble sound fantastic, the bass adds detail and does not get overridden considering the size of the speaker. When listening to something like Kate Nash Foundations the vocals sound beautifully pure without any harshness you might see from other speakers. The recommended volume is 50% volume but the higher you go past 50% volume it does impact the battery life this is mainly due to the high fidelity of the speaker. Featuring a powerful, 35 watt amp and two-way speaker system, the P5 delivers the rich, full-bodied sound quality you’d expect from the brand. Whether used indoors or out, the sound is powerful enough to cut through the surroundings, reproducing your music with clarity and precision.
