Yesterday I was in Asheville and I decided to capture some of the amazing scenery of Dupont Park.

The Pinnacle of Design and Technology

It’s been a while since I’ve done a review on here, so today I will be reviewing the iLuv SyrenPro.

My reviews, as always, are divided up into two parts. The first part focuses on the design of the product, and the second part is the functionality. This allows me, as well as you, see whether the product is designed with the mindset of form over function, function over form, or a good mix of the two. On to the first part of the review!

Design-4.5 out of 5 This speaker is truly built around the idea of having a unique design, that is not only meant to look good, but also serve a purpose. This speaker is a tapering cylinder that starts off large at the bottom and then smaller at the top. The shiny polycarbonate plastic is solid, and from what I’ve seen, very scratch resistant. The white plastic is also complimented by grey rubber trim that encapsulates the speaker grill, and runs all the way down to the bottom. Not only does this rubber contrast the white plastic, it also makes the speaker water resistant. The best comparison I can think of to describe how this looks is Mr. Fusion from Back to the Future II.

Sound Quality and features-4 out of 5 (for the price) The driver in this device is a single 3.5 inch water resistant full range speaker. While this does not sound very impressive, it actually is. This speaker has a bass port in the bottom, so the low end frequencies are actually very strong. The speaker manages to have minimal distortion until it gets turned up all the way, so don’t expect to be able to have parties with this thing. The bluetooth on this speaker is strong and consistent, and pairing is fairly easy.
