Tribit AquaEase Sound testing in practice …
A Bluetooth speaker is typically used with a smartphone or tablet, and so we tested the Tribit AquaEase with a smartphone as well.
Tribit App Setup and Tribit App test …
Pairing was smooth, quick and uncomplicated. The AquaEase did not raise any questions at any time, so we did not really need the manual. However, the printed quick start guide is really helpful for operation.
The sound is really good and surprised us positively. In addition, we install the Tribit app from the Google Playstore and connect our AquaEase speaker.
On the overview page, we now get access to the connected speakers including the battery charge status. We can also conveniently adjust the volume and start/pause playback.
By using the app, we also have the possibility to adjust the sound via equalizer. Tribit has already preconfigured profiles for music and audiobook …
… Rock and Party …
… as well as Classic and Jazz available.
We can also create your own equalizer profile if needed …
… and adapt to our wishes.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to view the values of the predefined profiles, but only to change the order.
Under “Device Info”, we get the option to name the speaker individually and adjust the standby behavior. We can also perform a firmware update if available and set the time.
Test in the shower …
Now we start a second round of sound tests. The Tribit AquaEase speaker benefits greatly from the customized equalizer profile “Music” and sounds really great and like a much bigger speaker. Tribit has done a great job here with the choice of components and the equalizer and gets a great sound out of a speaker that actually “only” belongs in the category “bathroom gadget”. This redefines the standards for this area and many shower radios from the drugstore can basically pack up.
Test at the bathtub …
Finally we can enjoy Funkyhome.de and OCinside.de on YouTube in terms of sound and thanks to the IPX7 specification we also don’t have to worry about the speaker getting wet or even falling into the bathtub 🙂
Runtime test …
We could confirm the stated values in the test: The AquaEase BT Speaker lasts for about 18 hours when fully charged, so you only have to recharge it every few weeks with usual bathroom use. Of course, the exact playing time depends on the selected volume.
IPX7 Test …
According to Tribit, the AquaEase is waterproof according to IPX7, which means protection against temporary submersion. Of course, clear fresh water is meant here. You can therefore take the AquaEase with you in the shower or to the pool without hesitation, and you don’t have to worry when it starts to rain. The AquaEase survived our test in the shower and in the bathtub without any damage.
ARGB Test …
Last but not least, we take a look at the chic RGB lighting. This is not customizable as usual for PCs, but the Tribit AquaEase still cuts a fine figure with its chic rainbow circle and is very nice to look at while brushing your teeth or watching YouTube. We have also created a short video about this.
