That’s a nice touch helping you to never forget to bring the adaptor along.
But again, that should only be half the reason you choose this dual-purpose speaker.
Its 1.5-inch drivers provide better bass compared to other speakerphones, including some larger options.
But set your expectations appropriately.
Another shortcoming compared to dedicated media speakers are the supported Bluetooth codecs.
SBC is supported, but it lacks AAC and AptX for higher quality and lower latency playback.
For smaller rooms and most indoor use, these speakers should be loud enough.
Outdoors in quieter environments like my roof and deck, they also did a good job.
I tried a few test calls and walked around while asking how well I sounded on the other end.
The Space comes in three colors; charcoal, aquamarine, and gray.
I’ve been testing the charcoal and gray models which I think look best.
This brings up an important point.
Although not a speakerphone, the similar-looking Google Home Mini has very difficult touch controls.
It’s hard to know what you’re pressing as there aren’t permanent buttons or icons in place.
It’s a good example of how being too minimalist can actually be a thing.
This is one of my only gripes with the speaker.
A small charging indicator on its left lights up when plugged in.
Aside from that, you’ll find the four microphones evenly spaced apart.
After a few moments, the Space will revert to showing you the volume level.
As of now, you are only able to hear a voice prompt when the speaker is turned on.
Additionally, that same LED ring will change its colors next to certain buttons when they are engaged.
A solid blue light is shown next to the Bluetooth button to let you know the speaker is connected.
When held for a few seconds It will flash blue and red for its pairing mode.
When in its media mode, these colors revert to normal.
Is This The Speakerphone You’ve Been Looking For?
