New products don't always hit it out of the park the first time up to bat. Sometimes a second round is required to get that groove and impress upon the masses. When it comes to portable Bluetooth speakers, this means big business. The market is saturated with options, and manufacturers are vying to draw consumers to their niches. Such is the case with Cambridge Audio and their second-generation Go Bluetooth speaker. The first version has done well, but there is always room for improvement when you have a passion. How does this latest from Cambridge Audio hold up? Read on and find out! Design & Connectivity The Cambridge Audio Go v2 Bluetooth speaker has a really attractive design with nice curves. I like the slightly convex shape with the gentle upward tilt to the speaker grille. This speaker looks like some miniaturized version of one that could be the centerpiece in a large living space. The choice of a satiny, speckled white with silver accents gives this speaker a very clean and posh appearance. Buttons on the top are the only elements with any plastic shine to it. You can put this speaker almost anywhere and it will look great.  Complete with international adapter tips for friendly charging When it comes to small, portable speakers the Cambridge Audio Go is compact, but not compact-compact. The size of it is between backpack- and shelf-portability. You can pick it up one-handed, and it feels pretty solid with a good weight to it. It's not a wee wimp of a thing. But it does take up more space than some other portable Bluetooth speakers in the same size and price range. Maybe that's why it comes with a soft cloth bag. Along with the carrying bag, the box contains an audio cable, wall plug, and additional tips. I was a little surprised to see a barreled cable for power instead of a standard USB input. But I suppose this ties back into the in between nature of its portability. The Cambridge Audio Go speaker does provide a 5V/1A USB output to charge up devices, convenient for when a connected smartphone needs more juice to continue on with the tunes. The top controls are very clear and simple. The power button requires a press-hold to turn on, but just a single press to switch it off. The latter part is a nice touch. This speaker features Bluetooth connectivity that can pair with a second device. I like how power states and Bluetooth activity are accompanied by beeps so you know what's going on. Unfortunately, this doesn't apply to volume min/max. So you just have press until you're satisfied. Those who choose to keep the Cambridge Audio Go speaker in a fixed place can appreciate how the auxiliary input is a hard switch. This means that if you're streaming audio through the 3.5mm cable, Bluetooth connections are completely ignored until you press the Bluetooth button on the top. Some speakers can automatically defer to wireless connections, but not the Cambridge Audio Go. Audio Quality If you like to listen to loud music, the Cambridge Audio… Continue reading TechnologyTell Review: Cambridge Audio Go Bluetooth speaker The post TechnologyTell Review: Cambridge Audio Go Bluetooth speaker appeared first on GadgeTell.  | |
