ZAAP Boombox One: Design and looks

The ZAAP Boombox One in terms of looks feels nice. It comes with made of  ABS material along with a Stylish Mesh fabric. The speaker gets a cylindrical shaped design and gets touch controls on the top, backed with rotating controls for the volume that is placed in a slightly tilted manner. The touch controls on top come with a play/pause option that works just fine and the volume control works adequately with the volume going up when shifted clockwise and decreases by turning it anticlockwise. The lower base of the speaker gets a rubbery texture to it that hosts a charging port and an aux port hidden under a rubbery notch. The speaker as whole sure looks like a can of sorts and weighs in at 662 grams. It certainly is rugged in terms of build quality that could afford a bump or two and houses a power button placed right at the bottom centre.

ZAAP Boombox One: Sound, audio and connectivity

It comes with 2 x 6W speakers that deliver a total of 12W output along with a passive subwoofer. The audio quality of the speaker is decent and offers clear sound with a nice above average bass, which is good enough for a 500 Sqft area. We recommend an average sound of approx. 70 per cent for a decent audio experience that manages to deliver 8 hours of battery life. There is a 2600mAh battery which can charge in 3-4 hours. One issue we found was in the built-in microphone that lagged at times in picking up the voice in a call. It gets NFC that is helpful for NFC-equipped smartphones and gets Bluetooth V4.1 that delivers an operating range of 10 meters.

Priced at Rs 3,499, the ZAAP Boombox One is a decent wireless Bluetooth speaker, backed with optimum audio quality and adequate bass.
