Reviews
"The second thing I noticed right away was the nice, sleek aesthetic of the design. All black with a shiny chrome bezel around the front edge, it slightly resembles some BlackBerry designs, such as the Storm and the Bold 9700...
The sound quality is much better than the external speaker on my Storm 9530. It's clearer, louder and has a much more dynamic range than any built-in speaker I've personally heard on a phone. It even maintains great clarity at its maximum volume with very little, if any, distortion. While it has great clarity and excellent highs and mids...
Overall I am extremely satisfied with this speaker. It's a great product for anyone who wants to enhance the sound of the music stored on, or streaming to, her BlackBerry. It is very portable and durable as it could fit into a pocket or a purse without worry of buttons falling off or any sort of screen getting cracked..."
"Fabulous. Again, this is not your home-theater stereo speakers, so appropriate expectations are necessary. That said, this speaker unit sounds excellent. It is decent for listening to music while doing chores or home-improvement projects. IF listening to talk radio (something I like to do when, say, hanging doors ), it is without criticism. ... Finally, as a speaker phone this accessory is da bomb! If you need a SP as part of your business/job on a regular basis, you can't beat this little gem. Get one. Works much, much better than the O2 itself in this role, and works great for a meeting placed in the middle of a conference table. It includes echo cancellation and noise reduction, so as an SP it works waaaaay better than the O2 (or pretty much any cell phone) on its own. I haven't used it much as an SP, but the few times I have it seemed like we were using a high-end, expensive, Polycom, not a little cell phone speaker dealio."
"What I liked the most about this speaker is that it’s completely wireless. It has rechargeable battery so you don’t have to have it plugged in to the power to use it. You can connect your iPod, MP3, phone or any other media player with either bluetooth or a 3.5 mm audio jack. Between the volume rockers is a small led light that changes depending on what the speaker is doing: blue when bluetooth is active and ready to be found by your device, green when it’s connected via bluetooth and purple when it’s connected via audio jack. The playback buttons will not work when the device is connected via audio jack, which totally makes sense. ... The MotoROKR EQ5 is a pretty decent speaker. The volume will reach levels loud enough to make you have to shout to be heard over the music. Considering the size and purpose of this speaker, I’d say the sound is really good. If you set it to the highest level possible you’ll hear a little static on the background, but nothing you can’t live with. I even found a workaround for it: if you set the device’s level to the max and then level up the volume on the speaker you might not even notice the static. The speaker has a max level, obviously, but no matter how loud you set the device and/or the speaker, it will only reach a certain level, after that you’ll hear a “beep” whenever you try to turn the volume higher than that."
