Portable speakers are essential tools for many music enthusiasts, allowing for wireless connection and greater freedom indoors. In this issue, I would like to share a niche Bluetooth speaker model, the Oudiobop TG1. It is compact, well-crafted, and has a powerful speaker that produces loud sound. Moreover, the TG1 comes standard with a wireless microphone, supporting karaoke functions, allowing for easy singing for up to 10 hours. The device also features colorful lighting effects that flash in sync with the music rhythm, creating a vibrant atmosphere.
In terms of appearance, the TG1 differs significantly from domestic competitors, primarily due to its unique design philosophy. Many domestic products use generic molds, and there are many private label products with a uniform design, featuring rectangular, circular, or irregular shapes with plastic shells and dull silver-gray colors. The TG1, however, while also having a rectangular horizontal body shape, has a noticeably elongated proportion, approaching a square shape. The shell material has been changed to a composite material with a leather-like texture, giving it a completely different feel. As for the weight, due to the rearrangement of internal components and increased speaker power, the TG1 weighs 410 grams, making it feel substantial when held.
Moving to the front of the device, the TG1 features a trapezoidal layout. The shell is divided into three levels: the first layer is the machine’s middle frame, the second layer is a framework that combines the middle frame with the speaker protection cover, and the third layer is the outermost speaker protection cover. In terms of area proportion, the TG1 has the largest speaker, laid out horizontally, with the outer protection cover made of metal material, featuring large apertures and a sturdy structure that reveals the internal components. When playing sound at about 30% volume, the sound is impressively strong, clearly demonstrating the symmetrical dual speakers, with clear and smooth sound quality, noticeable feedback, and distinct bass and treble layers.
Looking at the middle frame and back cover, the TG1 has several key design elements. One is the button area at the top of the middle frame, which includes a carrying handle and seven buttons. The handle is made of leather with gold screws, complemented by a product logo stamped with a steel die, enhancing its quality. The button area includes volume knobs for the main speaker and accompaniment speaker, track switching, accompaniment original sound switching, power, menu, etc. The button caps are relatively small with a large spacing, providing clear feedback when pressed, resulting in a strong tactile feel and high usage frequency.
Secondly, the TG1’s left and right middle frames are designed with symmetrical ambient light strips. The light strips are arranged in an upward-arching manner, with a small angle and large area. When not lit, they appear as a circle of transparent acrylic with black tape covering it. When illuminated, the colors are vibrant, featuring color gradients and frequency flickering, creating a stunning visual effect. In low-light environments, when playing music on the TG1, the light strips flicker in sync with the music rhythm, changing between warm and cool colors, enhancing the atmosphere. As for the back cover of the device, a third functional area is designed for expansion interfaces, including a standard USB port, TF card slot, USB-C charging port, and headphone jack for peripheral connections.
When powered on, the TG1’s primary function is to play music. By expanding with a USB drive or TF card, the system will automatically update and create a playlist, supporting capacity expansion up to 32GB, and can recognize and read files in formats such as MP3, WMA, APE, FLAC, and OGG. Since there is no screen, all operations on the TG1 are done through button feedback, but in reality, there is no complex logic; simply connect the device and press the play button, and subsequent song switching is done independently. The TG1’s dual speakers produce loud and clear sound, with an immersive surround sound effect, making lossless music sound clearer than compressed music.
On the other hand, the TG1 also supports a powerful karaoke function. The device comes standard with a wireless microphone, allowing for volume adjustment and automatic connection, making it easy to operate. When a song is played on the device, there is a dedicated button to eliminate the original sound, automatically performing vocal removal. By adjusting the ratio of the main volume to the microphone volume, one can sing directly. From the experience, the connection between the TG1’s microphone and the main unit is straightforward, without the hassle of debugging or feedback noise. The karaoke volume is loud; while it may not replicate a KTV effect, it is significantly more powerful than some mini speakers and mobile phone karaoke setups, emphasizing a strong vocal performance, complemented by colorful lighting effects, achieving a top-tier standard.
In summary, the Oudiobop TG1 Bluetooth speaker is designed with precision. Functionally, it does not innovate; it still relies on Bluetooth wireless connection, playing music loudly, and is user-friendly. With the addition of karaoke functionality, the operation of the device has not become complicated; it remains a simple connection and setup. When used indoors, with the volume turned up, the original accompaniment and microphone sound harmonize perfectly, creating a seamless experience.
