Evoke Spot – Cotton White
Great looking speaker with…

I wasn’t expecting much from this speaker and was planning to pass it on to my mum as a birthday present but I’m having second doubts about that after my experience!
Upon opening the box I was impressed by the weight of the speaker, it feels solid and well built with the tilting screen providing a firm resistance preventing it from flopping over if it's not positioned back enough, hopefully it will continue to provide that resistance as the speaker ages.
The white does look great and matches well with our kitchen but I am a bit concerned about it fading as it ages, especially with the oils from cooking food.
Set up was quite tricky with the internet connection relying on entering the password on the small screen and entering input using the volume knob. Initially it wasn’t clear how to enter capital letters, I assumed there’d be a button to toggle this but you just have to cycle through all the lowercase letters to get to the upper case letters which were off screen. I appreciate that the set up does not require any kind of app though.
After the set up, it's very easy to play music. I primarily listen to spotify so after initially using my phone to cast to this speaker, I just need to press the play button and it continues where I previously left off- even the next day! This is much better than other spotify connect speakers as you’d usually have to use your phone to initialise the connection each time but this makes it super easy.
The sound quality is pretty good for a speaker that's primarily trying to be a good looking speaker with all kinds of internet connectivity but there are better quality speakers available at this price point if sacrificing connectivity isn't an issue.
The bass is definitely trying to overcompensate at all volume levels but I've found adjusting the equaliser helps a lot with this.
Overall, I would recommend this speaker to anyone that wants a good looking speaker with pretty much every kind of connectivity.
