Speakers are available all styles and sizes however I by no means thought I’d see one formed like a droid from Star Wars however that’s precisely what the GravaStar Mars Pro Speaker seems like with its distinctive futuristic design. 

The speaker nevertheless has way more to it than simply its look. With crisp sound high quality and nice use of immersive lighting, the GraveStar makes for an awesome desk speaker and whereas it has a few minor points, it may simply carry your media setup to life.

The Sci-Fi Speaker

The GravaStar Mars Pro could be very eye-catching and its design offers it a number of persona past an everyday speaker. I wish to name mine “Little Spidey”. You may even open and shut the legs, placing it right into a “sitting mode”, or “standing mode”, it’s very cute.

The improvement workforce actually went all-out to offer it an actual otherworldly really feel. The outer shell is very detailed with concave and convex strains, they even used hexagon nuts as a substitute of Phillips screws, including to the mecha really feel of the system. 

There are three buttons on the speaker. The button on the left is the sunshine button, which can be utilized to vary shade or mode of the system. The center button turns the ability on and pauses the music and the suitable button is the Bluetooth button. Finally, the contact display screen on high of the speaker is for adjusting the amount.

For such a fancy design, the button format is surprisingly easy which is sweet because it makes the system straightforward to make use of and fast to get working. 

There had been a few points with the GravaStar although. The design might look cool nevertheless it’s a fingerprint magnet and can rapidly be lined in smudges. The contact bar for the amount can also be both a little bit too delicate or not delicate sufficient as I typically needed to regulate the amount and it  simply wouldn’t reply.

Finally it’s additionally pretty heavy at 3.0kg. It’s nonetheless manageable to carry however when mixed with it’s three lengthy spider legs,it’s not going to be the form of speaker you are taking round to pals’ homes. 

See The Lights

The speaker is embellished with dynamic lighting bars that may shine mild in as much as six completely different colours: Red, Dark Blue, Light Blue, Purple, Orange, and Green.

You can select from three completely different mild modes if you end up utilizing the speaker:

•     Normal Mode (The mild stays nonetheless)
•     Breathing Mode (shade fade from one to a different)
•     Rhythm Mode (The mild sparkles with the bass)

My favourite of the three by far was Rhythm Mode, however I discovered it solely appropriate for sure sorts of music. When I’m listening to pop or rock songs the sunshine simply sparkles randomly as if it may’t discover the bottom.

With songs which have a heavy bass line nevertheless like EDM or Trance music, it really works nice and it may be actually mesmerizing to see the lights change to the rhythm. I do want it will higher synched up with a greater variety of songs however the mild present it produces remains to be fairly good to have a look at by itself.

The Bluetooth Connection

The GravaStar Mars Pro is a Bluetooth speaker which makes use of Bluetooth 5.0. This implies that the connection doesn’t drain the battery as rapidly and it has a spread of 10 meters. You may also bodily join it along with your PC, telephone, or TV utilizing the three.5mm audio jack.

There is a matter the place the Bluetooth may not perform if the speaker is paired with too many units and also you attempt to swap between them however that’s a problem a number of Bluetooth units have so I’m unsure how a lot I can blame the speaker for that. As such, I’d suggest solely having it paired with one or two different units at most to make sure a safe connection. 

The Sound Quality

The sound high quality of the GravaStar Mars Pro is really pristine. The base could be very deep, and the music performs out clearly with wealthy sound high quality. Regardless when you’re utilizing it to take heed to music, play video video games, or watch motion pictures, it offers a really immersive and comfy expertise.

With that being stated, the speaker works finest at a detailed vary, utilizing it along with your laptop at your desk. It’s not fairly sturdy sufficient to fill out a complete front room so when you’re seeking to get a speaker to your TV, this isn’t the one to go for. Likewise, it’s a bit too heavy to tackle the go. This speaker is a pc companion by and thru.

It additionally has a slight delay whenever you use it to play video video games. For essentially the most half, you received’t discover it, however with video games that rely extra on sound, like rhythm video games or FPS video games it’s possible you’ll discover that it’s not as correct as you have to play correctly. That being stated, when you join the speaker with a bodily cable, there’s no delay in any respect.  

The Battery

I discovered that the speaker might be used for over 17 hours with out operating out of battery. This could also be topic to vary because the system will drain extra battery when the amount is larger however general, it’s can go period of time without having to be charged.

In phrases of getting recharged, it took roughly 2 hours and half-hour for the speaker to return as much as full battery. It’s a little bit of a wait however I suppose the truth that it lasts so lengthy with out charging balances it out. 

Closing Thoughts  

The GravaStar Mars Pro is actually a novel little speaker. The alien design actually makes it stand out, and the crystal clear sound high quality makes it an awesome system for belting out your favourite tunes.  

That being stated, it is rather a lot made with a selected viewers in thoughts. It’s meant to be a private speaker, to take a seat in your desk or gaming arrange and immerse the person in a small room of sound. It’s probably not sturdy sufficient to be linked to bigger shared units and it’s a little bit too heavy to comfortably carry locations.

Still, when you’re in search of a cute little droid to protect your PC whereas additionally bringing you the rifts of the newest Guilty Gear Album, that is actually a speaker value wanting into.
