Macmerise Melody Hex Shield Bluetooth Speaker Review

Have you got bored with regular design wireless speakers? Macmerise, an Indian brand, has introduced a range of wireless speakers with unique designs. These designer Bluetooth speakers are not only portable as well as stylish. The Macmerise Melody Speakers come with a variety of funky designs.

Built quality

The compact wireless speaker has a durable rubberised shell that holds the battery, speaker drivers and other components. The shell is solid enough to handle accidental drops. The water and dust-resistant speaker is perfect for outdoor parties. The front has all the attractions, depending on your choice you can buy your preferred design. The one I got for review is called “Hex Shield” having Captain America’s shield printed at the front.

The top panel has all the control buttons – volume, modes, play/pause and power on/off. At the back, it has multiple ports including USB Port, a Micro TF, AUX and a micro-USB port. Having the Bluetooth v5, the speaker lets you enjoy a hands-free experience with a 10m transmission distance. The wireless speaker comes with a 52mm driver with 5W power.

The stylish speaker is backed by a 1200 mAh battery that can power it for up to 3 hours or more. It is compatible with iOS, Android & Windows. One can pair their phone with a speaker and easily answer phone calls with a built-in microphone, change tracks or adjust volume and you don’t need to use your phone. It also has an FM Receiver, so you can enjoy the FM radio of your choice.

Performance

The Macmerise Melody Hex Shield speaker is easy to pair with any device. Having the latest Bluetooth v5, you can pair it with multiple devices and switch easily. The wireless range is also good enough around 10 m, compared to the previous gen. You can stream music at a distance of up to 10 meters. There was no connectivity issue till 7 to 8 meters, without any obstacle, however over that there was a little drop in the connectivity.

Hex Shield speaker has a 5w, 52 mm driver which produces an ample amount of sound. It can easily fill a small. The speaker handled the lows, mids and highs quite well. Just at high volume, there was cranky sound and sometimes the sound was floundering. I played songs of various genres in different file formats like FLAC, mp3, ALAC, and WAV. It sounds well on low, mid and just high are not that great. It has maintained the balance between bass and treble, which you can notice at low and mid.

Battery

Hex Shield has a 1200 mAh rechargeable battery that has a battery life of about up to 3 hours. I played various genres of songs in the loop; the volume was 100 per cent. The battery was capable to handle the load for around 2 hours 42 minutes, which is decent for such a loud speaker.
