We take a look at the HARWA Model HW-2388L wireless speaker with rechargeable battery power, FM radio, USB & TF card mp3 playback and Karaoke function. Quite a nice, handy, portable speaker, but the sound quality could have been better I think.
Transcript
00:00morning folks sometimes you just want some mobile audio for example I sometimes
00:07not many times but I have sometimes filmed music videos for people and then
00:14you just want some good sound mobile sound to do the playback on as you're
00:19filming the video so I wondered what speakers I could use that's why I bought
00:26myself this one it's a Harwa HW 2388L see it looks pretty nice on the box in the
00:35picture anyway here's another model it has a red what shall we call this grill
00:41on the front I see they also come in red blue and black yeah it says they're FM
00:51radio with USB TF mp3 player now what else does it say it says they're new well
01:01yeah usually when you buy something new then you would say yes it's new what
01:08else is there new design it says USB TF player 18650 L already sadly
01:18nylon battery something like that and super bass yeah I like this super bass
01:27bit I just hope we are not disappointed what else does it say there oh it says
01:33Harwa HW 2388L FM radio USB TF card player with rechargeable battery that's good
01:47Karaoke jack AC power 230 volts or what's that 50 Hertz DC 5 volt super bass wireless speaker yeah made in
02:03China again they're telling us that there is super bass in this thing so and there it says
02:11L Y I don't know why it says L Y L Y I don't know yeah all right well I suppose all that
02:21remains is for us to open it up and see what's inside and taste it out so you open
02:27the box and there is an instruction manual let's just quickly see what this is so
02:44there Harwa model HW 2388 L instruction manual with picture of it here they just
02:51explain what those symbols mean function power on off volume knob mobile charge slot mobile mode
03:00light on off USB previous function USB play button these are pretty obvious stuff karaoke jack okay so
03:11you can do karaoke with this on the back what does it say USB TF operation insert the USB to USB jack okay
03:23this is pretty obvious if you want to stop the USB caution do not install or place this unit in a
03:32bookcase built-in cabinet or in another confined space ensure the unit is well ventilated ensure that
03:40curtains and any other materials don't not obstruct the ventilation to prevent risk of electronic shock
03:50or fire hazard due to overheating to prevent fire or shock hazard do not expose this appliance to rain
04:00or moisture do not remove cover or back no use of serviceable parts inside refer servicing to
04:07qualified service personnel the battery can't exposure to the sun and close to fire or similar overheating
04:17environment noted please use mp3 files for sbtf function and the internal memory for USB TF card within 16g
04:29all righty that is all very interesting so let's see what else is there here I see what is it so just a cable
04:41charging cable just uses that normal charging cable for cell phones and lots of other electronics and we take
04:53it out of the box what else is there piece of blank white cardboard okay and we take it out of the bubble wrap
05:07looks pretty nice I must say this is the black one as you can see the one with the black grill
05:17unfortunately see only this speaker looks real all this just seems to be decoration see not really a tweeter
05:31there or something like that so I'm not too sure what the sound quality is going to be there's the back of it
05:40it doesn't have screws or anything you can undo so they probably don't want you opening it this is a nice carry case so you see this is a nice
05:53carryable speaker yeah so you can have your sound wherever it does have there your mic jack auxiliary in TF card
06:08it's a small card it's a small card oh I now happen to have the bigger card for my music but all right we'll use the USB with a card reader
06:18there's USB there's your DC 5 volt here's the volume knob lights up in blue also the speaker lights up see there's like a
06:33a little light in there very nice yeah and here's your little screen that says blue now I suppose for Bluetooth and here are your
06:48controls looking pretty nice so far but of course what does it sound like we'll do the test now feels rather light so
07:02I'm not too sure we're gonna get good sound out of that I don't know why but I associate heavier speakers with better sound
07:11but let's not judge too quickly I'll just use this bigger card it's not the small TF card but it can go into the card reader
07:21reader and I'm sure it will then read it and we go now we'll use the USB port will it read it
07:33don't know what it says but there it's playing the card now that's a song that starts like that it's not a sound problem
07:45not much bass unfortunately quite nice sound for like a kitchen radio or so but yeah I've heard much better bass on much smaller radios
08:13let's try another track
08:20let's just find some other more pop song
08:36pop song
08:43I don't know the treble is also not that sharp and clear
08:47I don't know what it sounds like to you over the camera microphone
08:51but I've heard these songs on other sound systems this for example
08:56that what do you call it harpsichord
08:59has nice clear crisp notes
09:03treble notes
09:05on this one I don't hear them that clear
09:08I do like this light though that lights up like that
09:15let's try something else
09:18some piano music
09:29yeah alright
09:30doesn't do bad on the piano music
09:33it's just those extremes
09:36the very low bass and the very high treble notes
09:40it doesn't play that well on them
09:43but yeah for something like piano it does quite well
09:50let's hear when the bass kicks in now
10:00not bad
10:19I'm just gonna stand a little bit farther away
10:22yeah you know what I think we just need to accept that it doesn't quite have hi-fi sound
10:35it doesn't have that nice rich bass and the very sharp and clear treble
10:42but I suppose it will be okay for like a kitchen radio or if you just want something to play sound
10:51play back the sound that you're not really gonna use
10:54for example if you're doing a music video
10:57and you just need your actors to hear the music
11:01but you're not actually gonna use this sound
11:05let's just hear some pop music
11:10all right let's try another mode
11:29FM
11:30FM
11:31let's see if we can get the radio stations
11:35now how do I tune
11:38let me just see how do I tune it now
11:43it didn't come with a remote
11:46no it didn't
11:47let's just see must I press this in
11:52no that doesn't work
11:54that's just the volume
11:59so how do you set the radio stations
12:02volume
12:04no other knobs or aerial or anything
12:07and this is only the volume
12:12doesn't change the function when you pull it out or press it in or something
12:16oh there we go
12:21you press the play button in
12:24oh and then it automatically programs it by the looks of it
12:29yeah that's what it's doing now
12:32yeah that's what it's doing now
12:33and then probably I can use the chat
12:36the forwards and backwards here
12:39to go to the programmed stations
12:43let's just see
12:45it doesn't seem to have that good reception in here
12:48but it might be in here
12:50I know I have particularly bad reception in here
12:53I know I have particularly bad reception in here
12:57with the one
12:58one for seven
12:59one for seven
13:00um
13:05um
13:06you know
13:07uh
13:08okay but when
13:09when the radio is playing it doesn't light up this
13:12it seems this just lights up
13:15I don't know if it will light up if you use an auxiliary
13:18but it does light up when you use the TF card
13:23music
13:24or the USB
13:25yeah alright well
13:28oh what did I do now
13:31seems I...
13:34music
13:36oh there we go
13:39yeah alright in conclusion what do I think of it
13:43well it's not particularly terrible sound
13:47not hi-fi sound
13:49but uh
13:50yeah
13:52so in conclusion what are my impressions of this product
13:56well I think maybe just because of the size of it
14:00I was really expecting a lot better sound
14:03uh
14:04sound is okay for a little radio
14:07but that's the thing this thing is so huge
14:10one would have expected better
14:11like a real
14:12uh
14:13boom box with a woofer or something
14:16this is really just a small radio sound that they put in a really big box
14:20also I think maybe what uh
14:23gave me the wrong impression is this
14:26super bass thing they had here
14:28also there
14:29super bass wireless speaker
14:31one would expect it has some impressive bass or something
14:35and it does not
14:37it's just like a one single speaker
14:40so
14:41yeah
14:42it's okay for a little radio
14:44so
14:45I just think they could have made this
14:47a little bit more impressive sound wise
14:50sound quality wise
14:51with better bass maybe better treble also
14:55I suppose it'll work in a small room
14:59just for home use
15:09sound quality
15:12vibrates a little bit if I turn it up too loud
15:18sound quality
15:23sound quality
15:26sound quality
15:28sound quality
15:29alright well I suppose it's usable
15:31but
15:32yeah I think before you buy this
15:34you can buy something much smaller
15:36much smaller speaker that's going to give you
15:39either the same or
15:40some better sound actually
15:42sound quality
15:49so yeah I'm not that blown away with this radio
15:53or the sound of it but yeah I can't really say it's particularly awful it'll
16:03do its job if you just want sound playback or whatever and you want to
16:08carry it around but I have certain smaller speakers might give you better
16:13bass systems like this I've seen them come this small and then they really
16:18have much nicer sound than this so anyway that is our review of the Harwa HW2388L
16:28and yeah if they would just make this an actual tweeter speaker a small speaker
16:34just for the treble that would probably improve the sound a lot and then make
16:39this maybe like a woofer this big speaker make it a woofer that has nice bass yeah
16:45then this product will be much better even alrighty please hit the like button on
16:53this video and hit the subscribe button if you're not subscribed yet I would
16:59appreciate that a lot and I'll see you in the next one Cheers until then
