Evoke Play – Cotton White with ChargePak
Mighty patio sound

I have read some bad reviews about this speaker before getting it, so I have to admit I was worried. But was really positivelt surprised. The main issue the reviewer had was on overpowering bass. Well from my experience: this is a device intended to fill the open patio space or nice room with sound, and it is the existance of a true subwoofer as integral part of the device that enables you to get a truly powerfull sound - and if you are not keen on having a punch you can set the bass/treble levels and completely eliminate bass sound. (Works best in default settings).
The unit came with battery extension that is rather pricey, but it is easy to install with a help of a screwdriver. once charge it will hold for a few days of occasional use (they say up to 12 hours, and that seems to be the case)
It has anything you might need, so has a thin spotify client (the one you do not need an account for but rather can automatically transfer whatever you are playing on any spotify device on the same wifi network, very handy. yes it got wifi, and bluetooth.
From radios it supports FM/DAB+ and internet radios/podcasts.
you can setup all functions using built in oled display and a few control buttons, but I would strongly suggest downloading UNDOK, a smart radio application. you launch the app while connected on the same wifi and it will find the radio automatically, and give you the possibility to use all functions and more (ie it gives more preset buttons on the app than on the device). And since internet radio list is a big one, it is easier to search for your favourite stations on the mobile.
Design is modern/retro, when you pick it up you can feel the weight of it (you need some weight to produce proper bass). it is quite loud and while I could only have a limited test on full volume due to neoghbours complaining - it did not produce any distorted sounds or made plastic crack.
