Aiwa - Exos-9 Bluetooth Speaker

Product Information

This ain’t one of those small-ish portable Bluetooth speakers, this is something that will keep your party going if you install it in a large hall. Aiwa has a simple formula for delivering serious audio equipment without compromise - we have the best acoustic talent, we put our money into the highest quality components and we offer world-class service. Furthermore, you could be using EXOS 9 while it is charging, which means that you are both going to have a virtually unlimited listening time, but you will also have access to the best sound possible, as the battery will filter the noise that is usually associated with using something powered directly from the wall wart. I’ve seen a lot of sponsored reviews in the past talk about the volume of the Exos 9 beating the likes of the JBL PartyBox series, which I found not to be the case at all.

The result you get here is the best sound you can get as far as the Bluetooth speaker world is concerned. Posts are for general information, are not intended to substitute for informed professional advice (medical, legal, veterinary, financial, etc.

Furthermore, if you want to significantly increase its battery capacity, you can always purchase an extra battery for just a few USD, making the entire package quite reliable. Overall, this is a case where the entire product description, design and aesthetics make it look and feel like it was made to be portable, pretty much like the AIWA EXOS 8, but instead, it is very much a speaker you’ll mostly leave and use at home. It has good sized rubberised feet that grip surfaces well and the carrying handle has also been rubberised to maintain a good grip.

IHOME-STEREO SOUND, INSIDE OR OUT - With 200 watts of continuous power and 5 drivers, including a 6. What a great sounding box, although I am surprised the Aux in is a bit noisy, I wouldn’t expect there to be any noise through the Aux in unless BT signal is leaking through. As clearly stated in the introduction page the new Aiwa is not in any way connected to the old one and although that did strike all of us as a bit odd at first it's certainly worth pointing out that ownership change is not something new in the electronics industry (and it's always good to keep a popular brand name from being gone for good). AIWA offers one year of official warranty for EXOS 9, but if you’ll be taking care of it, I would imagine it will survive way longer, the only part that you’ll need to eventually change being the battery, which can be found online for a few dollars.

I have just purchased a Bose Soundlink Color 2 and I can get it to pair with my HP Untrabook running Windows 7. For those not familiar, mid-side processing takes a stereo recording and separates sounds coming from the left and right from sounds coming from the middle. Aiwa has done an excellent job of matching the amp to the speakers producing excellent audio at all volumes. This is one of the best bluetooth speakers available, it has a full sound and battery life is great.

This driver configuration results in some interesting sound presentations, which we’ll discuss further below. One of these USB ports can be used to charge your phone, while the other USB port can be used to perform firmware updates.This causes a subtle but noticeable affect on the audio performance, and some of us prefer listening/blasting without it. This being said, EXOS 9 has a battery and can be used far from an electric outlet, while Music Cast 20 is a little speaker that is meant to be used only near electric outlets, and it cannot be used portably. If Aiwa can add some built-in water protection and some additional smart connection options like Alexa, AirPlay or Google Play, the Exos-9 could come close to that perfect all-in-one speaker. ULTIMATE CONTROL OVER YOUR MUSIC - Crank the bass, mids, or highs with the 5-band onboard graphic equalizer.

AIWA EXOS 9 is in a class of its own, being a bluetooth speaker, but not a very portable one, thanks to its weight, which is almost funny high, of about 7 KG, but it has a lot going on for it, including APT-X, a battery of about 15600 mAh, and even built-in EQ. If you really enjoy listening to your favorite audio tracks more than most people around you chances are that you already own at least one portable speaker which you can take with you at a moment’s notice. Relevant for a number of years now, offering a fairly affordable solution to those needing big sound out of their Bluetooth speaker. Once they do, you can change the link mode (mirror or stereo) by pressing the LINK button once or several times to select the desired mode.JustAnswer is not intended or designed for EMERGENCY questions which should be directed immediately by telephone or in-person to qualified professionals. In terms of sonic quality and performance, you won’t feel a big difference between AUX and Bluetooth, and you will be able to enjoy the speaker regardless of whether you’re using the bluetooth or the Aux input. Unfortunately, the buttons are all you've got - there is no smartphone app to control the speaker, which makes it feel positively ancient in an age where our wireless headphones receive regular firmware updates over Bluetooth. I do enjoy the Exos 9’s EQ capabilities, which let you adjust the sound signature using both presets or manually, letting you get the sound closer to your personal preferences. I've had an Aiwa Exos-9 for a few years and it's been great so far, but there are some select use cases where I've been disappointed with the max volume, such as outdoor parties or loud, crowded indoor spaces.
