The Pros & Cons
The Pros. The AOMAIS Sport II is an extremely versatile speaker can be brought with just for any occasion – be it an outdoor camping trip, hiking journey or for water sports. It is IPX7 waterproof and features a really tough exterior design. The sound performance of the Sport II speaker is also very consistent and clear and can pump out really good volume in open spaces.
The Cons. There are practically very few cons to write about this speaker. The battery life, while lasting up to 10 hours of continuous playtime, is not the best we have tested. The speaker is also slightly large which may cause portability issues, although this is to be expected given that it contains a much larger acoustic driver.
Sound Performance
The sound performance of the AOMAIS Sport II was much better than we expected. It is designed for pure volume output and will easily fill up a large open space with sound, which is perfect for outdoor parties or gatherings. The sound quality of the Sport II feels good and it does not distort at higher volumes. The sound performance feels smooth and detailed throughout, and this speaker is also able to bring out the treble and crisp highs quite well, with a little sparkle in the music reproduction. The bass response on the Sport II is decent, and does get pretty thumping when maxed out on the volume. The interesting thing about the Sport II is that you are able to pair two of these speakers together to get surround sound music, which is pretty awesome. Furthermore, the speaker also features a screw on the bottom which you can use to mount it on a bike or tripod, and an inflatable floating pad for you to take it with you at the pool. Overall, the Sport II is definitely one of the more versatile outdoor bluetooth speakers you can find that delivers very good sound performance with decent bass and rich sound. We can safely say that it is difficult to go wrong with the AOMAIS Sport II in terms of sound quality and overall performance.
Design
The design of the Sport II is simply top-notch. It is certified IPX7 waterproof which means that you can fully submerge it in water for up to one meter depth without any issues. The speaker is also designed to be extremely solid and durable, and will not be damaged even if you accidently drop it. The entire exterior of the speaker is constructed with smooth rubber which absorbs any impact on the speaker and the speaker has a very sleek and modern looking appearance. That being said, the speaker does feel a little heavy around 21 ounces, which makes it one of the heavier outdoor bluetooth speakers on this list. The speaker also comes with well written instruction manual, auxiliary cable for non-bluetooth music sources and a standard USB charging cord.
The Bluetooth connectivity on the AOMAIS Sport II is very quick and stable. It features NFC technology which automatically reconnects to your mobile device once you turn on the Bluetooth connection. It also features buttons on the top of the speaker for you to control the volume, skip song tracks and answer calls – the Sport II has an integrated microphone for you to take hands free calls on the go. The speaker also has a power indicator which lights up green when turned on, and a low battery light that turns on indicating that the speaker needs to be recharged.
The Verdict?
The AOMAIS Sport II is a solid outdoor Bluetooth speaker that is fully waterproof and represents a great value investment for a rugged portable speaker. The Sport II is designed to deliver rich, detailed sound quality with its acoustic drivers that pump out a combined total of 20W of pure power. The sound on this speaker can easily fill up large open spaces and does not distort at maximum volume. We also liked the fact that you can pair up two of these speakers together to get left and right channels to increase the sound dispersion.
