Let‘s get sEARius (Patreon)
Content
I am currently in the final stage of testing the sEARius in all kinds of situations and placements in order to decide if further adjustments will be necessary.
So far I am positively surprised with the performance. The speaker manages to give me some real „wow“-effect I haven’t got from any portable speaker for longer.
We have tested it at the pool and from far away it sounded as if a way larger speaker was playing. Even the neighbors were complaining to turn music down as Joy turned it up close to maximum to hear it from inside the water. I don’t think any kind of „outdoor“ mode is necessary. If you want more bass place it closer to some boundary which makes the sound fuller but never boomy. 2 playing in stereo give an even more impressive performance. We were using them while playing ping pong with both speakers placed to the sides of the table and the sound stage is incredible. You can set them apart around 5m while laying flat at the ground, the Minirigs had more issues with connectivity with exactly the same placement and without sub they were far not as impressive sounding.
I still think the sEARius performs best at moderate levels for background listening either indoor or outdoors, as up to half it retains the most bass. And I love the freedom of placement, just put it in the center of some table firing up and it fills the room nicely with music. I remember having placed the UBoom L always close to some edge to avoid any interaction with the surface below. In this regard the sEARius is way more flexible and it simply sounds way better.
As soon as I receive the new passive radiator units to check the final performance and don’t find any issues, I will start preorders as final units should perform exactly the same. I will just do some final tweaks based on the measured deviation from my initial unit.
To keep everything simple and transparent the preorders will be handled through a PayPal product link where you can pay with PayPal, Apple Pay, Credit or debit card etc.
For those interested in getting a unit or two please be a little patient until I really know for sure that the factory can produce all units to my specifications.
If you haven't noticed yet, I had posted some videos on Youtube as first introduction to this project and to attract some further potential customers. Production amount will be heavily dependent on how many preorders we can achieve. With 300 preorders we should be on the secure side, but when looking back at the SpX-R headphone I am afraid we won't manage to collect the necessary funds to finance all this.
I especially want to thank all my long-term supporters who stayed with me since the beginning and made this all happen!
