August SE20 Portable Mini Bluetooth MP3 Stereo Speaker

Chris F.: The sound quality is great and it's quite small. I use it for MP3's and it works well. I play them using an SD card. The battery seems to hold up well,( I've not had it long). Good value for the money.

Binbin: Hyper satisfait !
Qualité sonore très appréciablement surprenante pour un si petit objet.
Autonomie super pratique ! Peut être branché en continu (échanges avec le constructeur me confirmant cela)
Possibilité d'en faire une enceinte Bluetooth.
Design très sympa. Poids et taille reduits.
Utilisations quotidiennes.
Fréquences radio se captant très clairement et s'enregistrant ttes seules très rapidement de manière automatique si on le demande (il suffit d'appuyer sur la touche "play" en mode radio).
Il a sa place ds ma sdb, et je l'emmène partout avec moi ds différentes pièces ou en extérieur, vue son autonomie, son tout petit poids, et sa rapidité de charge.
Pas essayé avec carte SD car la prise USB me suffit largement.
Je cherchais un moyen simple pour écouter de la musique en toute facilité et partout : il m'a comblé.
Seul bémol : pas de mode écoute aléatoire en USB (ou alors je n'ai pas encore trouvé). Mais cela est largement contrecarré par le fait que, entre 2 écoutes, il reprend la lecture à partir de la dernière chanson lue. Volume sonore très appreciable même pour l'écoute en extérieur, à...

CLSCLS: La radio funciona bien, fácil de usar y reducido tamaño.
Positivo: su sonido, es una pasada lo bien que suena para lo pequeña que es. Da la sensación de estar escuchando una radio con altavoces más grandes.
Negativo: la memorización de emisoras, que es automática y no puedes ordenarlas, pero tampoco es un gran problema.
ACTUALIZACIÓN: tras 2 años y medio la batería está casi muerta. Dura sólo unos 15 minutos, así que he tener la radio cargando en todo momento.

MarieMarie: « August SE20 – Mini système stéréo MP3 Bluetooth – Radio portable avec de puissants Bluetooth Speaker- Alarm Clock Radio FM avec lecteur de carte, USB et aux en stéréo – 2 x 3 W haut-parleurs Hi-Fi (Bleu) »

Dimensions approximatives (pas faciles à prendre en raison des formes très arrondies !) : 15 x 13 x 9 cm – Poids : 325 g
Longueur des cordons prises U.S.B. et auxillaire : 94 cm chacun
Réf. 5053047003409 - Fabriqué en Chine.

Je m’attendais à un appareil plus mini. Disons qu’il recouvre une main, mais une petite alors ;-)
J’ai choisi cet appareil afin d’écouter de la musique sur de longues durées, sans devoir à changer de C.D. Ce qui est d’autant plus appréciable lorsque les mains sont occupées en cuisine ou ailleurs… Je n’utilise l’appareil qu’en mode micro-carte S.D. et sans la technologie Bluetooth (qui me dépasse…).

J’aime :
- La petitesse, maniabilité, légèreté, stabilité (sur une surface), facilité d’utilisation de l’appareil (grâce à la notice en français).
- La stéréophonie produit un son tout à fait correct en écoute de salon. En environnement extérieur,...

RGB: La tengo desde hace 6 meses, y de momento estoy muy contento con ella. Me soluciona un problema crónico que tenía, y que no sabía cómo resolver (había probado de todo, sin éxito). Está en el techo, dentro de una ducha, y aunque no se llega a mojar nunca directamente, sí sufre 2-3 veces al día de los intensos vapores del agua que genera el agua caliente. De momento, aguanta firme. Se oye bien, mejor de lo que esperaba. Mi único pero es la duración de las baterías, que hay que cargar cada 10-15 días.
AÑADIDO DE 2 AÑOS DESPUÉS: Sigue funcionando perfectamente. Las baterías son su gran problema. Últimamente, después de 20-25 minutos de tenerla encendida, se apagaba (pierde la memoria de las estaciones, además). Era un engorro. Así que la abrí, y miré la batería de Li que llevaba. Una pequeñita, rara, que nueva cuesta casi tanto como la radio. Solución: corté cables, y le he puesto tres en serie AAA recargables en un pequeño alojador de una antigua linterna de bolsillo que se murió, de 1,2 V y 550 mA cada una (hay espacio dentro para que quepan). La original era de 3,7 V y 800 mA. Funciona, y vaya diferencia de duración. Lleva un mes...

LUIS PEREIRA: I delay to write the review, because I wanted to take a reasonable time to test product, When I opened the box, I felt a little disappointed, seeing how small it was... but the sound really impressed me. I work in warehouse and use the volume in 25 and it sounds great. The FM radio is very good. Any idea to improve the product? It's going to be great when the product will be programmable, so in USB it has a lot of recording time, and when you want to listen to some specific songs, it gets complicated a little.
But for the price this excellent..Enjoy this product and strongly recommend it.

Busy Momma: So I was looking for a cd player and this was a suggestion at the bottom of the page. The picture was large and it is similar shape to cd players, so I figured this was one. -- The joke's on me for not reading carefully. That being said, I love this little system. It is tiny and compact but packs a nice clear, loud sound. I happen to have an old disc-man I can hook to it, so it works as the cd player I was hoping to purchase. I can also bluetooth to it from phone or kindle and plug it into my computer. It takes and SD card, too, but I'm having trouble formatting mine (I believe it is a computer issue -- not the speaker's fault -- as the speaker is reading the card, but only one of the items on it, not all of them). The radio works well. The battery life is acceptable.

Only drawback: I wish it had a direct plug to an outlet. It comes with two cords, one for charging from a computer and one for audio in (like from a phone or in my case my disc-man). With the right converter (like the plug from the end of a kindle charger) I think I can make it work, but it would have been nice to come with it's own plug.

Bottom line: This is a great product and I'm...

IPA India Pale Ale: 1. The radio is useless - why?
It doesn't allow you to put in a station. Instead it "scans" and tells you the stations it has found, which will not at all be representative. For example, you might want to listen to FM 106.7, as I did. But you can't just do that. The radio hasn't identified that in its scan, so it's not on the list, so you can't listen to it. If you live in a major metro, there may be two dozen radio stations; this unit will pick up about 6 and that's what it will allow you to listen to. So don't buy this if you want radio.
2. The usb isn't much better
There are none of the normal functions on it. You can't repeat a track, repeat an album, repeat all, play random, anything. If you plug in a usb with 5 albums of mp3's on it, they're just tracks 1-50 - it doesn't distinguish albums, etc. If you want to listen to track 35, then push the ">>" button 35 times to get there. But understand that once you're there, it's going to play that track, then play track 36, 37, etc. You're just setting the starting point - regardless, it's going to play the whole usb in order, just from a different starting point.

Seizan Breyette: Unbelievable performance from these little beetle-shaped items! I loaded it with music, plugged it in, and it has been playing around the clock for the past few weeks. Soft music also keeps our pets calm, and we don't mind music playing softly in the other room.

I ended up buying 4 of this little gem. One is in the front room with about 24 hours of mp3 on it. It plays in a loop and repeats from piece #1. Another unit is in the lounge, also on 24/7. These have been playing softly non-stop for weeks. A 3rd unit is in my wife's office. The 4th unit is mine...

The sound quality is wonderful and seems balanced quite nicely. We haven't used full-volume at all, it gets far too loud for our ears at about 3/4 capacity...! We don't mind that we can't select a favorite piece of music; we just choose hours of music appropriate to the setting and just leave it on.

I bought some small "wall-socket/USB" power blocks for about $1.50 each, plugged the units in, and left them on.

We don't use the radio or Bluetooth so I can't comment on those.

For the way it satisfies our needs at home and work, I have to give this item 5...
