On the back of the unit you’ll see only two ports: one USB port for charging and power, and an aux 3.5mm audio out. I/O and Controls: Very basic, but very easy

Anecdotally, it worked well when we tried it with our Android device, but it’s important to note that NFC can get a little muddied if you’re trying to pair a second device-a small gripe, but important to note. This one will work nicely with compatible Android phones, as you’ll be able to simply tap your phone against it to set up the pairing without jumping through hoops. Most Bluetooth receivers do not include this added featured, because they’re mostly meant as “set and forget” home units. What’s really interesting to see here is the inclusion of NFC.

You aren’t getting flashy controls, a premium build, or high-quality Bluetooth codecs, but what you are getting is a really solid portable unit and the convenience of NFC, for a ridiculously low price.īecause this is marketed as a mobile-friendly device, we would have liked to see Bluetooth 5.0 for more stable range (in case you’re using it for an outdoor party or in a similar setting), but that’s a small nitpick. On the upside, Etekcity included a pretty comprehensive 1-year warranty. The surface seems very prone to scratches, seeing as it’s a glossy plastic, and the case has quite a bit of give to it. The downside of that portability is that because you’re moving it a lot, you’re more at risk of dinging it up. The inherent benefit of a device like this is that it’s very light (right around 1 oz.) and portable. The unit somehow felt even flimsier than we were expecting. One big drawback of this unit is how basic the build is. Durability and Build Quality: Fairly flimsy and very light This unit will look more at home in your car stereo system than it would in a modern home audio system. The brand name and “Roverbeats Unify” are printed in white right on the top in tacky and oversized lettering, and the main control interface button is surrounded with a blue LED ring (though that ring turns red if something isn’t connected). The edges feature small, cutout, pill-shaped matte areas that contrast nicely with what is otherwise a budget look. The design itself is comprised of a rounded off square built mostly of glossy plastic. The Etekcity’s aesthetic is akin to an early 2000s take on “futuristic."
