Jarre AeroBull HD1 Hi-Fi Speaker 200 Watts - Matte Black

Product Information

In a statement shared following OXYMORE's release, Jarre doubled down on his endorsement. "In real life stereo does not exist, our audio field is 360 degrees. Today, technology allows us to explore composition in spatial audio and that opens a whole new experience for us musicians in the creative process," he claims. "Music will be more easily experienced by anyone with regular headphones or the new generations of sound systems, offering a more physical and natural way of listening to sound and music in full immersion.” Clearly, the Jarre AeroBull Nano is all about the design – just like all Jarre speakers. There are a few nods to function, though. A little lanyard loop on the top of its head lets you hang it from the wall, or perhaps a doorknob. Plus a tiny threaded mount port on the bottom allows mounting to some form of stand. It seems like overkill in a speaker this small, though.

My first reaction on hearing the speaker was “this isn’t terrible”. Your initial impression of the Jarre AeroBull Nano will be that of the best Bluetooth speakers, where the sound appears much larger than the unit itself. There’s a reasonable amount of treble and upper-mid detail, which you likely wouldn’t hear in a basic, cheap novelty speaker with which the AeroBull risks comparison. Jarre came to world prominence as a composer and musician with seventies release of Oxygène and the subsequent Équinoxe album and has toured internationally quite regularly for a third of a century. Next to the Anker, the AeroBull sounds thin and weak. It would struggle to fill a wardrobe with music, let alone a mid-size room. The speaker looks amazing and we were surprised to find the quality of sound from the relatively affordable system is extraordinarily good, just as Jarre had promised.

Varying tastes obviously play a huge part here, too. In past years, I’ve considered buying some of Scandyna’s iconic pod speakers. But a dog? It’s a bit much for me. Wow, you could get 2 10 inch speakers and mount them at the base for stability. That way this thing will look even more like a penis. There are few techie extras in the Jarre AeroBull Nano. It’s a simple Bluetooth speaker with micro-USB charging, an eight-hour battery life at lower-level volumes and aux input via a micro-USB adapter included in the box. Jarre will be at IFA promoting the new system on Monday, 6th September. He will be present from 12 p.m. - 2 p.m. at the Jarre Technologies stall, in Hall 1.2.

If you live with a french bulldog and would love a doggie speaker to go with the various bulldog ornaments scattered around your home, go ahead. The rest of us should probably save our money and buy the much more accomplished, and tougher, Anker SoundCore Mini. Verdict The Jarre AeroBull Nano is a plastic mould of a french bulldog, small enough to sit in the palm of your hand. It walks the line between out-there speaker design and something you might buy from a market stall or as a “premium” item in a pound shop. an iPhone and iPod compatible, HD multi-directional sound tower equipped with a full spectrum speaker, delivering stereophonic sound from a single multi-axial point. It is also possible to connect any other smartphones and MP3 players, laptop, CD / DVD and even vinyl turn-table. the internet will continue to grow as the main tool of interaction, it will become more important every generation and will solve so many problems that access to the internet will be seen as a fundamental human right.\" Always carry the AeroBull Nano, and whenever you decide to enjoy a new nomadic musical experience, switch it on…When the Jarre AeroBull Nano costs up to four times as much as these low-cost favourites, far too much rests on the appeal of that doggie design. His new system is the first product from Jarre Technologies®, which he founded in 2005 with the aim of putting decades of research in sound & vision technology to service the creation of a range of high-end, affordable and aesthetic home-entertainment products. It may be a slice of Jarre style more of us can afford, but it’s also soundly beaten by some of the best ultra-budget speakers on the market. The Anker SoundCore Mini is a quarter of the price, and produces a sound that’s far more powerful.

This thing does all the things a item 1/20th it\'s size could do. I would rather have something I could put on a mantle or shelf.....

There’s zero real bass to the sound, largely because the AeroBull doesn’t have a passive radiator. This is an alternative to the bass port seen here, used routinely to amplify the low-frequency output of small and mid-size speakers. The Jarre AeroBull Nano’s chances of a recommendation fall apart as soon as you compare it to some of the best budget micro-speakers: the Creative Muvo 2C and Anker SoundCore Mini.
