Star Wars Darth Vader Bluetooth Speaker (Fully Licensed)

Product Information

It’s like trying to find a pinhead with another pinhead – and each wrong move drags the speaker to the edge of the magnetic base with a thunk. If you’re a Star Wars fan looking for a cool centerpiece for your living room that can double as a wireless speaker, then these are a genuinely compelling, if very niche buy. The Stormtrooper and C-3P0 speakers look amazing and ooze character, which is really all you can ask for from official memorabilia. The Death Star, from Plox, has a diameter of about 10cm with speaker grilles on all sides for 360-degree sound.

Setting up the iHome Millennium Falcon Bluetooth speaker is very easy, and you can use it in one of two ways. Before you set it up, you need to make sure that the battery is charged first. To charge, simply connect it to your computer via the USB port or using a wall charger to charge it. Bluetooth It comes with a floating stand – this is a cone that attaches to the base and allows the user to make it easier to pinpoint the levitation. The iHome Millennium Falcon Bluetooth speaker is the perfect gift for the Star Wars fan who has everything. Not only does it look good, but it also performs really well. You can almost pretend it’s Hans Solo and Chewbacca jamming out when you’re listening or making calls.As speakers they don’t match the sound quality of more focused products, like the Sonos 1. But that’s not surprising given their focus on aesthetics and authenticity to the movies. The audio quality is decent and matches some competing speakers in the same price point, like the Ministry of Sound M Plus. While the Plox Death Star Floating Speaker does perform better than some Bluetooth speakers, it does not come with a way to easily control sound levels or quality. However, when played at a regular volume level and sitting near the speaker, the sound quality should be just fine. Keep in mind, the speaker only boasts a 33-foot range. If you move out of range, the speaker will disconnect itself. Features and Usability The iHome Millennium Falcon Bluetooth speaker uses one lithium polymer battery. It is rechargeable, and there is a red light on the top of the Millennium Falcon that will turn off once it is fully charged. It has a long battery life with up to 10 hours of continuous play on a full charge.

One thing to note is that the Bluetooth Speaker and device can affect the operation of nearby electronics including any medical devices Make sure that you keep the Death Star floating speaker close to you and maintain a clear line of sight between your device and the Death Star. Charge and Battery Life Ultimately, you are buying the iHome Millennium Falcon Bluetooth speaker for the novelty. It is a fun and functional little speaker that looks exactly like everyone’s favorite ship from Star Wars. It isn’t going to be the most powerful speaker, but it will likely be the most unique one you own! Some have reported quality issues, with the iHome Millennium Falcon Bluetooth speaker stopping working after a few months of operations. Pairing your device to an individual speaker can be done over the air to any device with a Bluetooth or NFC, or you can go old-school with the included 3.5mm cable. However, this doesn’t mean things are perfect. The speakers don’t deal with the high end spectrum as well as I’d like. Listening to metal band Periphery, the distorted guitar took on an unintentionally harsh tone and sibilance crept into the vocals. The issue reared its ugly head again when I switched to to Less than Jake: the ska punk guitar’s popping rhythm began to sound a little too punchy and detached from the rest of the soundstage.This is the magical spot that will magnetically grab the Death Star speaker with equal force from all sides so it that it can float in place. How does this gravity-defying orb do at actually playing music? Plox included a 5-watt speaker that is intended to deliver 360 degrees of uncompromising sound quality. Overall, we found the sound quality to be good, but a bit tinny with certain songs. Chopin’s nocturnes also sound reasonably good, with both C-3P0 and the Stormtrooper providing enough clarity for me to discern each individual keystroke and hear minor changes in phrasing. From there you have to wait a few moments for the speakers to connect to each other. Once the two have found each other their coloured light eyes will begin to glow and the speakers will bark one of their iconic characters’ catchphrases to let you know they’re good to go. As long as your device has Bluetooth, you can play music wirelessly from up to 30 feet away. The iHome Millennium Falcon Bluetooth speaker is a great addition to any fan’s life, and let’s take a look at some of the finer details about what makes this worth it to buy. Specs

One key thing you’ll notice right away is that you can play music even as the device charges. This is not standard on many Bluetooth speakers. Thanks to an included LED indicator light, you’ll know when the Death Star is fully charged as the light will turn green. Once you’ve achieved a full battery, you can start to pair with a mobile device or computer. The speaker itself rotates above a handy magnetic base while providing 360-degree sound quality for up to 5 hours of continuous play with a Bluetooth connection. With 5W capacity and iOS or Android connectivity, the speaker touts the ability to rival any speaker on the market today. Does it live up to its claims? As a Star Wars fan, this is one of those must-have products that I would have bought just to watch it float majestically in mid-air and spin on its axis. On the front of the base are a series of button that allow you to change the level of bass, and the volume. For once this is a speaker that actually give you clearly decipherable levels of bass when you press the buttons. To be honest I didn’t need to play with the bass too much but it definitely made a difference and I was impressed. When it comes to sound quality, the speakers are surprisingly good, but certainly not best in class at this price point.

The Bluetooth functionality is top-notch, responding to audio commands, letting you take phone calls, and listening to all your favorite audio content. Its battery can last up to 10 hours of continuous use. You can also use it wired to your favorite devices for increased functionality. With last year’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens smashing box office records across the world, it was inevitable that Star Wars fever would take over every where you look. From action figures to branded merchandise of every conceivable type, I shouldn’t have been surprised when it was announced that two Star Wars Bluetooth speakers were being released. Even more they are fully licensed but my initial fear was that the speakers would be style over substance. In an already crowded market, with varying results rarely determined by price, Bluetooth speakers are in abundance so can these Star Wars speakers stand out? The Force is strong with this levitating Death Star Bluetooth speaker that magically defies gravity and rotates above a magnetic base and streams your music at the same time. Once the two speakers are paired, the dominant speaker you need to connect to – which in my case was the Stormtrooper – will appear in the available devices list in your phone or computer’s Bluetooth settings.
