the Aura is more robust and lightweight than appearance suggests

not using it to prevent objects from falling in or something as simple as dust
the glass tube can collect lots of dust and be quite frustrating
its design could be nothing less than iconic
the speaker is quite bulky
buttons are faintly marked and would not be noticeable in the dark
the effect is lost on the single Aura Studio unit
tricky part is the mid bass which blossoms only within a specific band
there is a lack of consistency in the audio produced compared to other speakers
The volume steps are too far apart
Voices are perceived as too far away compared with reference
lack of lower midrange makes it sound hollow
It sounds a bit blurry most of the time
extremely slight pitch variations
Very loud and don t loose music quality
audio quality
the design is bottom-heavy
Coke cans still look like speakers
albeit unorthodox ones
well-constructed model was limited by poor connectivity
no stereo mode (only dual sound
bass-heavy sound
Highs are quite clear but can be a little bit harsh at high volumes
there are no dedicated track buttons
it was reckless and stupid
heavy bass
without a separate subwoofer
is no stereo mode the speakers will play the same audio output
not able to connect my speaker to any of the devices
speaker confined on a shelf or in the corner of a room
No sound customization features
it noticeably struggles to reproduce low-bass
it needs to remain plugged into a power source to work
it lacks sound customization features like a graphic EQ or presets
feels sloppy and detached from the close-knit midrange and treble
Dense music recordings expose the first blot on the copybook
Lack of clarity and detail make busy compositions congested and messy
lacks the weight required to stamp authority on Drake's Hold
lack of insight is where the Aura loses out
