Vifa Oslo Bluetooth Speaker | Nordic Design | Perfect Portable Wireless Speaker for Apple iPhone iOS and Samsung Android - Sand Yellow

I ordered the Dali Katch first, and ended up being very disappointed by both the lack of bass and the level of distortion above mid-volume.So disappointed that I sent it back straight away and bought the Oslo instead.I can't believe the difference between the two. The Oslo is just better at everything except battery. The sound is clear, balanced and yet the speaker is able to play deep bass with almost no distortion. The build quality is wonderful (aluminium frame) and the size is reasonably small. The handle is neat and functional. I didn't encounter bluetooth issues or problems with the app, but will follow up if my opinion changes.Update : I have been using the speaker for several months now. The speaker's sound quality is outstanding, to the point where non audiophile friends are telling me how awesome it sounds.However, it does have some very annoying shortcomings :- The battery is really poor. I often play some music while cooking dinner. If I go to bed without plugging it in, the battery will often be flat the next morning. That is a ~2h use + 10h standby.- The Oslo is heavy : Don't expect to carry it around in a park.- The audio volume is synced between the speaker and the device that plays the music. It may sound like a great feature, IT IS NOT.Problem is that most devices have big sound increments (PCs, macbook, iPhone & Pixel). This results in the Oslo jumping from too low to too high volume. The only way to adjust the volume properly is to do it manually on the speaker, which has smaller volume steps. Read, stand up while in bed, to go and adjust the volume manually so that it is at the right level. Oh, and clicking on your device's volume again will result in a reset of the volume you just manually set on the speaker... It defies the purpose of having bluetooth in the first place. Finally, I usually set speakers lower than my phone, so that anyone cranking the volume on my phone, doesn't smash the speaker to the point where sound distorts and damages the drivers. But because the volume is synced, you can't prevent someone from pushing it to the max. This is really frustrating and can't be disabled in the app.- I tried to publicly contact the support on Twitter over the former issue, they didn't even bother to reply.- I sent the support an email. They replied after a couple days, basically telling me I was doing it wrong... and that I should use the volume sliders to adjust the volume with more granularity. Problem : having to usethe volume drag slider precisely is not only difficult, but it also doesn't change anything. No matter how little you move the slider, it still results in huge jumps of volume. Needless to say, that at this price point I just can't recommend buying this. My Bose SoundLink mini 2 despite it's poorer sound, offers a way more enjoyable overall experience.

This is my first bluetooth speaker and it's great. I have heard many others as my son has at least half a dozen and many were good. I liked the Bose ones, and found them amazing for their size, if a bit bass heavy. I didn't like the unbalanced sound of the B&0 play beolit 15, which is roughly the same price and size as the VIFA Oslo. I don't need it to be too portable as I use it around the house. I don't need it to be too loud, but want a balanced sound with clear mid ranges. The VIFA Oslo fits this as well as I had hoped. Speech is clear. Music is balanced, with firm bass, clear and forward mid range and silky trebles. It sounds amazing when turned up, which I don't do very often. The battery life is okay, but not outstanding. It looks fine, if a bit like a lunch box. I've had it for over 3 months, used it every day and have not regretted my purchase at any time.

First of all phenomenal speaker with sound clarity you can't get from 99% of portable speakers out there.If you are an audiophile who love to hear the detail in the sound and enjoy vocal and instruments and not just booms from bass this is the one for you especially in the price today

The media could not be loaded.  This is a very good speaker but it is not the only good sounding speaker out there and I think the costumer support is as important at least in this price range. My speaker's cover is faulty and as the matter of fact I saw the same problem in the reviews here and even a video of that. I contacted Vifa and send them a recorded video of my device showing the problem and they agreed that I send it to them for repair and they also paid for the UPS post. So far so good. About two weeks later I emailed them to get an update about my device and they came back to me with apology and stated that it took two weeks because they wanted to test everything thoroughly and not taking any chances and they immediately sent it back again by UPS to me after my Email. SO everything seems to be very good yes? NO! I got my speaker back only to realize that it has exactly the same problem as it had when It seems that they did not even look at it because it is kinda impossible to miss considering the video which I sent them. So I emailed them with a new video of my returned product and guess what? They did not answered my emails for the last week.

The media could not be loaded.  Nice sound but the speaker cover is defective. I purchased it 5 days ago as a replacement for a defective speaker I had to return then this one arrived defective. The speaker appears to be well made but this defect raises questions around Vifa's quality control. Vifa have confirmed the cover is defective and I must return it to them in Denmark for repair at their cost. Due to time constraints and with the speaker only 5 days old I requested a replacement as oposed to repair to be told this wasn't possible. This is why I've given two stars and almost gave one but this speaker is better than that, if only Vifa quality control wasn't better. Whilst the fault is considered cosmetic, it shouldn't be there on a speaker of this price.

Awesome sound quality for all styles of music, feels very nice build quality, fairly decent battery life, loud enough for large rooms and house parties and doesn't really distort at high volumes.The app let's you mess with a few eq settings. I find late night mode is best (boosts bass), combined with the wall setting (for when speaker is placed high up) as this seems to add some clarity.

And before Oslo I had Beolit 15, Beoplay A2 Active and Beoplay P6. Vifa Oslo beats them all by a huge margin. Superb design, great battery life and epic sound quality. Can't recommend them enough.

Excellent high-definition speaker. While it has some difficulty connecting Bluetooth, once it does the signal is clear and stable. A great purchase, plus it has a very elegant appearance.
