Portable outdoor Bluetooth audio is often used in daily life. However, there are not many such audio products with reasonable price and high quality on the market? Easily broken? Not waterproof? No personality? You may say that it's just a portable Bluetooth audio, but what else can you think about? In fact, Bug wants to tell you that you really have a better choice, Mrice Camper, a brand focusing on outdoor audio, whose recently launched 2.0 product can better meet all your outdoor portable audio needs.

As a professional outdoor audio product, Camper 1.0's highly personalized tire shape has been deeply rooted in the hearts of people, and is popular with numerous outdoor sports fans and music lovers. How can the new 2.0 product break through? After repeated research and several drafts of the design, the Mrice team finally determined the appearance of the camper 2.0 tank track, and continued to maintain the original and rugged style on the road of bionic sound design. Although bionic design does not seem to have much practical use in sound, but in terms of extremely powerful sensory performance, This design undoubtedly adds more cultural connotations and professional labels to the sound design. Maybe this is a sound that is really suitable for outdoor use.

Appearance: very visual impact

The traditional portable Bluetooth audio is basically a bucket or brick shape, which is either too large or very small. There are few really thoughtful appearance designs, and the Bluetooth audio suitable for outdoor portable use is rare. After the bold introduction of tire shape design in 1.0, CAMPERS campers modeled the tank track style on the 2.0 generation products. The overall shape has a strong visual impact through personalized silicone shell and metal element body decoration.

Since Camper 2.0 has increased to double speakers, the volume has increased a bit compared with that of a generation, but it is also carrying a range that can be tolerated when going out, which has led to more improvements in the sound experience. On the whole, this speaker is like a tank's track, and the silicone sleeve on the outer ring is covered with diagonal stripes, which looks very dynamic.

The black steel mesh on the front is precise and meticulous, which can also play a role in protecting the internal units for outdoor use. The strip decorative plate concentric with the outer ring is used in the middle, which is more consistent with the characteristics of this tank track speaker. The back is made of engineering plastic on the whole, and the surface is covered with a skin like coating. The touch is good. A large number of concave holes play a decorative role, It can also enhance the heat dissipation effect. As an evolutionary work of campers, the second generation of products has well retained some elements of the first generation. The most obvious one is the refined steel handle in the middle of the back. For outdoor enthusiasts, this landmark design is not only of practical value, but also one of the most significant features of campers.

As the XiaoBug got the engineering machine, it didn't have a complete package, accessories or documentation. It only came with a 3.5mm audio cable and a MicroUSB charging cable. However, it had no impact on understanding the characteristics of this product.

Details: firmly grasp the essence of outdoor

As an outdoor portable audio, excellent shock resistance, fall resistance and waterproof performance are essential. Camper 2.0 inherits the spirit of "brave and forward" in the previous work, and has done a lot of work in details around these aspects. In various small details, distinctive outdoor elements are integrated, which fully demonstrates professional quality in both appearance and practicality, It seems more stable and domineering. As Mrice explains, campers are not only a voice, but also a spirit.

Considering that the all metal body is too heavy, and the protection is not strong, the camper 2.0 audio outer ring is nested with silicone material, which is soft and comfortable, and has strong wear resistance. Due to the characteristics of this material and the twill layout, it can quickly run in with the contact surface when falling, without a relatively harmful rebound, so as to achieve the purpose of protecting the internal parts and external framework, Combined with multi-level protection measures, this stereo has a strong vitality, just like a tank, and will never hang up easily.

The edges on both sides of the silicone sleeve are folded inward and inserted into the slot of the stereo, leaving no gap, which brings good waterproof effect and effectively prevents the silicone sleeve from inadvertently coming out. The nesting on the back is a little lighter than the front. When removing, pull out the nesting edge on the back first, and then withdraw the silicone sleeve forward. When installing, the silicone sleeve is removable, After removing the silicone sleeve, it can be seen that the button area is not directly exposed, but is covered with a layer of rubber material, so as to further waterproof. There is a positioning sill at both ends of the button area, which is embedded into the corresponding slot of the silicone sleeve after installation, to prevent the silicone sleeve from shifting and falling off. In addition to the pink color of this model, there are military green, black, red The silicone sleeves in yellow and other colors can be replaced. Everything depends on your heart. It's nostalgic, retro, mysterious and cool. Your shell is your own.

The brass bolt in the middle of the front is designed with a strip decorative plate, and the CAMPERS 2.0 logo is a bit archaic. The imported refined steel handle on the back is high tempered and one-time shaped, wear-resistant and fall resistant, and can be used for suspension. It can also play a primary protection role for the box, giving a sense of safety and security. The cool frosted seal ring at the joint uses full fit GFF technology, Perfect fit with the body, stable and sealed. The application of brass material makes the audio more suitable for the theme of tank track bionics.

The interface on the back is also sealed with a silicone cover, so there is no problem with living waterproof. It is followed by a silicone cover jack, a TF card slot, a MicroUSB charging port, and a line port. There are not many interfaces, and they are basically enough for outdoor use.

The LED indicator light of the audio is hidden in the front steel mesh. The red indicator light on the left is the charging indicator light, which will light up as long as the power is plugged in. The white indicator light is the status light. When the audio Bluetooth is paired, it will flash fast. When other devices are powered on, it will flash slowly.

Use experience: real outdoor artifact

The audio quality and endurance of a key outdoor Bluetooth audio has always been the focus of attention. In terms of the sound quality of Camper 2.0, my personal feeling is better than expected. The volume range is large, and the maximum volume sound field is strong enough. Although it can't compare with the outdoor audio portable by the square dance hostesses, at least it is no better than the portable Bluetooth audio, which is very suitable for outdoor use, In terms of endurance, Camper 2.0 uses an excellent polymer battery with a capacity of 2500mAh. It can play continuously for more than 8 hours after being fully charged. It also has a long endurance in portable audio.

In terms of size control, this stereo is relatively suitable, not too large, which can be easily put into a backpack or side pocket, or it can be hung directly with a hook. It looks very outdoor. However, compared with the general single speaker stereo, the Camper 2.0 is not too small. Since it adopts the design of two speakers, Then there must be a choice between sound experience and size.

In terms of functions, in addition to the mobile music playing and mic calling functions of ordinary Bluetooth audio, this audio system also has the functions of taking photos TF card play and LINE play are various modes. Except for the photographing function, which is not experienced due to the lack of instructions, other functions have a better experience. When Bluetooth is connected to the mobile phone, if a call comes in, press the ON key briefly to stop music and enter the call status. When the line input connection is inserted with TF, A short press of the On key can switch between the line input music playing and the TF card music playing, which is very convenient.

In terms of life waterproof, the camper series outdoor audio is also quite up to standard. Ordinary water splashes have no impact on the speakers. The silicone shell design also allows the audio to be fearless of ordinary bumps. During use, the audio was dropped to the ground by my children several times without any problems. The 8-hour endurance is enough to listen during the journey, Bug listened intermittently for two or three days and consumed all the power. The total time is about 10 hours, which is of course related to the volume of the broadcast. But in general, there is no water in the eight hours of official publicity. For outdoor sports lovers who like music, this stereo will undoubtedly bring unprecedented experience and can be regarded as an essential outdoor artifact.

Speaking of sound effect, the experience brought by dual speakers is much stronger. The biggest feeling of this stereo is that the sound field is strong. The volume is adjusted to the maximum without breaking the sound. The maximum volume is a bit larger than expected. It is definitely a good choice for the open outdoors. The performance is good at medium volume, The bass is powerful, the midrange is soft, and the treble is not sharp. When the volume is high, the low-frequency is too strong, and the sound level is not clear enough. However, for an outdoor portable sound, it is very satisfactory overall.
