M5

HEADLINE: This is neither the smallest or biggest portable speaker but it packs a punch with more than enough great sound for general use. Outdoors in a suburban garden on max volume (15, no it does not distort) it is uncomfortable to be within 2m of the unit, sounds great at 10-12m. Since this speaker is portable here is a way to judge its size and weight before you buy. The unit is roughly the size of a pound of butter but about an inch longer. It also weighs 600g/1lb5oz or 30% more than the butter. The plastics case has a rubberized surface so it won't slip out of your hands unless you've been handling the butter by mistake :) I bought this unit in July 2024, there may be variance from my unit and any past or future unit. My unit was well presented and seems identical to the unboxing videos by other reviewers. The unit was supplied with an almost full charge. To get the unit working I popped a microSD card into the slot, turned on, and pressed mode. It immediately chimed (not too loud) and began playing my tunes. Having built an number of speakers in the distant past I was skeptical on what could come out of such a small box. I'm completely blown away, the sound is similar to good bookshelf speakers, a very satisfying and balanced sound, the sub-bass (less than 60Hz) is lacking, but everything else seems to be there. 95% of the population won't realize the difference. There are actually 16 volume levels. Given the small size a lot of the 40W will be soaked up by bass production. In a domestic environment I find 5 more than enough if you count (0=mute to 15=loudest, see above about level 15). For file playback (microSD or USB stick) I tested FLAC, MP3 and WAV. * Maximum sample rate is 48kHz (Tested 44.1kHz , 48kHz, 88.1kHz and 96kHz FLAC) * Maximum bit depth is 16bits (Tested 16 and 24bit FLAC and WAV) * MP3 CBR (Tested 320k and 192k) and VBR (Tested High and Medium) Battery life seems good, after 6 hours of play I'd lost one of the 4 power LEDs. Indoors I prefer to stand the unit on end and not flat on the raised feet. Maybe outdoors the feet would save the case from scratches. There are a couple of small niggles... * While up to 128GB cards are supported there is no way to skip folders, so you need to click next or back a lot of times if you want to get to a particular track. * Many of my USB sticks cannot be properly inserted because the housing interferes. Using a nano stick or a USBA-M to USBA-F adapter solves that.

I was looking for an upgrade on my smaller bluetooth speaker, that wouldn't cost a fortune. After reading many reviews I chanced on the Bogasing M5, and it really is a very good speaker for the money. Build quality seems very good, with a rubberised outer layer, and tough speaker grilles. The connectivity is one aspect that drew me to the M5. I use an old iPod and needed a speaker with an aux socket. This has aux in, TF card slot and USB socket. I have not tried synching it with bluetooth so cannot comment on that. But aux in sounds great. Standing the speaker up gives a decent 'stereo' effect from the drivers on either side of the speaker. Controls work well, though being black on black they're no alway easy to see. Battery life excellent so far, with good 4 LED indicator. And the sound? Very good. There is enough volume and the three audio presets offer enough versatility for my needs. As a bass player I like bass, and this speaker delivers enough bass without it becoming too dominant. Overall I am very pleased with the M5. It does everything I wanted it to, without having spent a fortune.

Well, I am very impressed. The price is great, the speaker is awesome. For a quarter of the price of bigger brands, and you would not know. The bass is full and deep, vocals sound crisp and tried house/trance/ classical and my favourite death metal, and I am super impressed. The speaker itself has a lovely weight to it, the size is perfect. The connection was super fast and easy. The buttons are very basic and simple too, very easy to use. 10/10 for me, definitely recommend. Also, its volume level is very good too. Only had it half way and it’s booming very loud and still holds the sound quality. And the battery light hasn’t moved off 4 bars yet, so that side of it is also very impressive.

I have tried so many small budget Bluetooth speakers and these are brilliant and great value for the money. Small, punchy, and with a subtle bass booster amongst three settings. Battery life is amazing and unlike so many battery saver options that some speakers offer, they do not turn themselves off if not receiving a signal. I am a real tec head and love a budget Bluetooth speaker and so far these have not disappointed. I bought two to sync up for stereo sound and pairing and repairing is fast and seemliness even using two of them at once. True stereo, little but loud. nice and heavy weight that makes them feel as solid as their sound. Really happy with my new budget find.

Wow! I had no idea this little speaker would sound this good. I cannot comment on battery life just yet but I will update later. The sound quality is just phenomenal for such a small footprint (size of your average mobile phone). I've purchased this for my workplace where it will sit alongside a very noisy machine. I need it to be loud enough to get over the noise of the machine. I'm hopeful but won't know for sure until I've tried it. Again, I will update. Love the styling and the fact that it looks the same in both sides and indeed fires the sound to both ends. Great fully rubberised casing and minimal but functional controls. I'm still not over how great it sounds. Perfect for home use, and hopefully for work use too. Recommended. Update. Battery life was pretty much as advertised. I have to use on full volume due to my workplace so others may get more life than I did. Sadly not quite loud enough for my needs but it is still (just about) audible over a very loud machine. I'll be keeping it for home use as it sounds so good and investing in another speaker for work. I still recommend this great little speaker.

This is a great little speaker I’m very fussy with how my music sounds and this speaker has brilliant sound and base is lovely which you have 3 settings for how you like it It is a powerful little thing You can take it away with you It’s rechargeable No problem connecting on Bluetooth

I love this speaker. It has an amazing sound for its size. I highly recommend.

This is a great little sound box, very good speaker sounds, and capable of playing bluetooth off your phone, or TF card, or USB and comes with a cord to hook up a mp3 player or audio unit. Easy to switch between modes. The manual has pretty small print, but the unit is fairly straight forward. Battery life looks to be excellent. Recommend.

Buen producto

M4、S8を使用しておりまして、その後継機としてサラウンドを期待して購入したのですが、接続方式でUSB-Cへは音声出力出来なくなったという残念な製品です。サポートは良い印象ですが、パソコンへの有線接続用として購入したので、購入しなおしを検討しています。是非USB-C接続での出力を出来るようにしていただきたいです。サポートの対応は神対応ですので、ご安心を。このブランドは安心して購入できます。

I have a pair of indoor BT with TF/uSD card stereo speaker but they're only good for a single room. I wanted a more robust pair for indoor/outdoor use. These are ideal. They have 4 audio inputs; BT, USB Flash Drive, TF/uSD card, and an AUX input. I connected them all simultaneously and scrolled through the 4 sources without any issues. I have a 16G uSD card with 1,400 songs as my go to choice. The sound is terrific and plenty loud in the outdoors. The TWS mode pairs easily and works with all inputs. They sound great and have excellent BT connection range, indoors and out. The super bass mode is awesome when playing at low volumes and the 3D mode is my preference when the volume goes up. With duplicate speakers on both sides of each speaker, the sound is pretty much directed everywhere, 360°. There's plenty of battery life. The user interface is very clean. I did test the speaker phone feature, that I won't use, and it works fine however my built-in microphone pickup is pretty weak. I'm sure I'll get years of enjoyment out these portable yet powerful 40W speakers. Update: Undocumented Stereo features When using a single M5, the dual 20W speakers play in stereo. The speaker on the + volume side plays the left stereo channel and on the + volume side plays the right stereo channel. And when using dual M5 speakers in TWS mode, the M5 with the audio source plays the left stereo channel.
