100 me (One Hundred Meter Technology) is an emerging technology company in China. For the time being, it has only two products: GEEBOT and GEEBOX. GEEBOX was born from the desire for a simple and free lifestyle, consisting of "GEEK" and "BOX". GEEBOX M2 is their first Bluetooth speaker. GEEBOX M2, facing the competition of so many audio products, can it show the brand concept as expected?
Externalities recognized by red dots
The outer package of GEEBOX M2 is very simple, and the most prominent visual effect is the product name and product rendering. Slogan, "the voice that penetrates the soul", expresses the idea of its birth.
The top left corner is the famous red dot design award logo. At present, more and more domestic products have won design awards at home and abroad. GEEBOX M2's red dot recognition shows 100 me's design skills.
The main features of the product are marked on the side, such as IPX5 waterproof, 10 hour playback capability, Bluetooth connection, etc.
It should be noted that GEEBOX M2's outer packaging is the same regardless of the color version, and only the corresponding color is marked on the side.
The two colors of GEEBOX M2 are volcanic red and rock brown. Volcanic red is red black, and rock brown is orange brown. The color contrast design is quite eye-catching.
Cylindrical design, with two 8W, 1.5 inch speakers built in, and radiators designed for bass at the top and bottom.
There is only the logo of GEEBOX on the front, and various function keys on the back. The layout is quite simple. GEEBOX M2 has a 3D size of only 160x68x68mm, which is very compact compared with ordinary Bluetooth speakers.
In addition, there are hidden indicators on the front for users to view the status.
The GEEBOX M2 side is made of special waterproof and oil proof three-dimensional fabric, which is very special in both hand feel and appearance. The IPX5's waterproof ability is inseparable from its help. It is also worth mentioning that the TPU elastic materials at the top and bottom have first-rate wear-resistant and shockproof effects.
The necessary microUSB and audio interfaces are hidden under the logo, which is slightly troublesome to use. However, considering that the actual use scenario of GEEBOX M2 is mainly wireless, the impact is not significant.
Rich interior
Of course, GEEBOX M2 is not a product of Jinyu, and its hardware is no inferior. As a Bluetooth speaker, GEEBOX M2 adopts the famous CSR chip module focusing on Bluetooth, supports Bluetooth 4.2, and ensures the quality of Bluetooth connection. It is measured that in the office with complex wireless environment, GEEBOX M2 has no connection interruption or intermittent play, and its stability is very good.
In terms of other configurations, WAVES MaxxAudio acoustic solution is adopted, with 2x8W dual speakers arranged. The signal-to-noise ratio is ≥ 85dB, and the frequency response range reaches 75Hz-20KHz. No matter which parameter is, it is the top level in the current Bluetooth speakers. However, the parameter does not represent its strength, but the actual measurement can explain the problem.
When listening to GEEXBOX M2 for the first time, the first impression is that the voice is loud and the texture is outstanding. When the volume is turned to the maximum, the GEEBOX M2 sounds unbelievably in such a small volume. Compared with other Bluetooth speakers, the volume is higher, and there is no broken sound. It must be good news for friends who like parties. In terms of sound details, GEEBOX M2 is much more energetic than ordinary bluetooth speakers or focusing on the adjustment of bass or boiled water. The overall texture of GEEBOX M2 is better, whether it is high, medium or low frequency.
GEEBOX M2 has a resonance design optimized for the bass unit. The minimum frequency response of 75Hz is only inferior to Sony's EXTRA BASS product. It claims to have excellent analytical power for cello music. To be honest, I only regarded this as a publicity highlight at the beginning, and didn't take it seriously. However, when I played Summer Night Concert 2017 once in a while, I could really distinguish the part of the cello from it. Moreover, the high pitched part of the violin was not messy, and the whole atmosphere was set off well, which was amazing. Of course, this is a speaker product that plays in an open environment. Although GEEBOX M2 performs better than other Bluetooth speakers, it still lags behind the headset.
Finally, we must mention the endurance level of GEEBOX M2. Officially, it can reach 13 hours when 50% of the volume is played, and the measured daily use is basically more than 10 hours. It is absolutely commendable to achieve such an excellent endurance level in such a volume.

GEEBOX M2 can be said to leave a good impression on the author: the fashionable and dynamic styling design, and the red dot design award is the proof of its strength; The volume is sufficient and dynamic, which is very suitable for the use of Bluetooth speakers in parties and outdoor activities; The compact and easy to carry body, coupled with outstanding endurance, has broadened the use.
GEEBOX M2's slightly rugged appearance, combined with IPX5's waterproof ability, and the use of TPU materials all indicate that the main target is the sports crowd, which is attractive to some users who need hiking, mountain climbing yoga or like riding, and even square dancing is quite suitable. At present, GEEBOX M2 is priced at 699 in JD, which is quite competitive in Bluetooth speakers of the same level. If you have a purchase demand, you can try it.
