The Pros. Despite its relatively small and compact size, the Archeer A320 produces really good and crystal clear sound performance with decent volume. The level of bass that you get with the A320 speaker is deep and punchy. It’s a speaker that definitely delivers a sonic punch.
The Cons. There are practically very few cons to write about the Archeer A320. The battery life of the A320 is 5200 mAh which is good but not the best that we have tested in this category.
Sound Performance
The sound performance of the Archeer A320 is nothing short of stunning – it features 2 crystal clear tweeters and 1 powerful subwoofer with a total combined power output of 25W, instantly filling up large rooms with powerful and loud sound. It also has a 2.1 channel stereo sound with clear treble, and can produce a lot of bass with stunning impact. We also found that this speaker has a very impressive frequency range while the center subwoofer blends well with the tweeters using an advanced crossover. This means that you can play a variety of music genres and they will all sound incredibly clean and detailed; the low-end frequency response is clean and sharp, with each beat separated from the other components of the music. The highs are crisp and clear, and the midrange is also tight and well defined. Listening to bass-heavy music with midrange vocals sounded rich and very smooth. The Archeer A320 can go extremely loud at maximum volume without any distortion – it will easily fill up a large room or space with distortion-free sound.
Design
We were also pretty impressed by the stunning design of the Archeer A320 with its bamboo exterior finish. You can tell instantly just by looking at this speaker that the construction quality is top-notch and solid. The bamboo is thick and beautifully finished, and can easily blend into modern home décor. It is also covered with a skin-friendly rewind fabric material which adds to its elegant appearance. We really liked the warm colored vintage appearance which blends in easily with the texture of wood furniture with its classical aesthetics. The design also enhances the bass and volume output and gives a weighty feel to the music – you can crank this speaker up to 60% of max volume and it will easily fill your living room with a concert, making it the loudest bluetooth speaker you can find in this price range.
Battery Life
The Archeer A320 comes with a built in 5200 mAh li-ion battery which can power the speaker for a continuous 11 hours of playtime at 50% volume, which is pretty incredible considering the size of this speaker. The speaker recharges via a provided USB cable and a 5V/2A USB charger which you can purchase separately. The Bluetooth connectivity on the A320 is superb – we were able to pair the speaker to our mobile device in a matter of seconds. It also features the latest Bluetooth 4.0 technology for stable and consistent high quality music streaming. It also includes a 3.5mm audio auxiliary input in case you need to connect the speaker to non-wireless sources.
