ZEBRONICS ZEB-BT6590RUCF Wireless Bluetooth Multimedia Speaker with Supporting SD Card, USB, AUX, FM & Remote Control. (65 Watt, 5.1 Channel)

I wish I had setup the speakers in their permanent location to post a video of this product. The sound itself is pretty good and if you get a couple of RCA splitters – you can add more speakers. I am using a audio extractor and RCA splitter cables to run 2 x extra (Aiwa 60w each) speakers for ps4 along with the speakers that come with this Zebronics model. A Bose sound link is connected to the 3.5mm out of the Audio extractor and the RCA output into the input of the sub (which is also where the main control and power circuit is housed).

When it comes to BT connectivity – no issue with my iPhone 13 mini. I played a couple of FLAC tracks & a vinyl as well – if you know a bit about ‘audio’ spheres of electrical design & have a decent environment aka curtains or wall-mounted high surface area pads that minimise reverb and generally make surfaces non-reflective, oh boy, the immersion is at par with premium speakers.
I am not someone who can stay comfy wearing headphones (even the most ergonomic & quality headphones) for more than an hour or so. There are too many expensive solutions for high fidelity sound systems & although this will not itself match the quality of products made where the audition is built bottom up for every part of the speakers to circuitry & algorithm for noise cancelling etc., with smartphones – many apps emulate the quality using soft equaliser apps & coding. I did some tests using recorded audio & audacity to analyse the bandpass frequency etc and compared it with some bigger brand name systems – hardly any difference. Sure, you have to make sure the environment does not degrade sound but that applies to the best speakers as well – just try those systems in outdoors settings on a windy day.

So, immersion is really good (again – headphones are totally different domain) & some know-how of audio setup – just find it on YouTube will set you up with a super clean sound system. In the Aux mode – the only controls available are through the remote – and although comprehensive tuning can be carried out using the remote – unless your TV has some firmware to improve audition – there will be a slight loss in quality. Again, these are not supposed to be a home theatre system but if you can damp out some reverb & echo by well placed speakers & create a decent environment – these speakers are top notch. I played a scary video game at midnight and yea these do the job!

I HAD EXPERIENCED THE AS IN THEATER

Quality vaise good, bass not bad, worth for money

Alright. So, I ordered this speaker mainly because of its Bluetooth connectivity as my old Sony 4.1 lacks that particular feature and if I want to listen to some music from my phone in that speaker, I would have to physically connect it and then changing the songs when needed is a hassle. So, I was looking for a speaker at comparatively lower price that wouldn’t compromise the sound quality. I usually buy speakers after at least listening to its sound in a shop, but this time I gave it a chance and trusted those many reviewers who said this is the best budget speaker with good enough sound quality and good enough bass. Well, I was kind of taken aback after seeing the actual woofer size. It was smaller than I expected and physical size does matter when it comes to bass and hence the bass is not solid enough. Now, don’t misinterpret. It’s a pretty thumpy bass and it doesn’t cracks, but still it somehow lacks the solidity that I have heard in some other speakers. Clarity is really good, both over Aux and bluetooth. When it comes to the total loudness, it’s not very loud really. Good enough for a medium sized room, but even with full volume at the speaker level and on the device, it won’t blow your roof away…far from it. On the positive side, even at maximum volume the sound doesn’t degrade and retains its quality. With bluetooth the sound loudness is at 90% that of what you get with Aux. The bass also goes down a bit with bluetooth. The bluetooth connectivity is awesome, instant, quality is good and doesn’t have any noticeable delay(which I was worried about). As a result, I decided to use this speaker with my TV(over bluetooth) and I would keep my Sony for listening to music. By the way, the best part is the remote, it has many functions and the most usable are your ability to control sound level at each and every speaker and the woofer.

Edit : I want to add few points regarding the remote control. I found it bit hard to set up the FM channels. At first I didn’t find the auto scan channel option. There is a scan button, but on pressing it, nothing happened(Later I found out from the manual you have to press it for 2-3 seconds to get it working). So, I had to manually tune and find each channel by using tune+ – buttons. And then it was really tricky to save those channels once you find it. On pressing the Save button, it always tries to save them under Channel 01, and changing the name is a bit tricky, I am sure you will figure it out. The good thing is, you can directly type in any channel frequency number from the numeric keypad on the remote. So, in FM mode if you type 938, it will take you to 93.8 FM channel. That’s good. The only downside to this remote control is, it has no mute option. In the manual it says, the REPEAT button will function as Mute, but it doesn’t work.
