A SPEAKER THAT’S<br />
ALSO A CONVERSATION<br />
STARTER<br />
FROM THIS FAIRLY NEW COMPANY<br />
COMES A BLUETOOTH SPEAKER<br />
that’s really big on design. It’s called<br />
the Shield because of the shape but<br />
the interesting thing is that it looks<br />
like something Bang & Olufsen would<br />
make. In fact, it looks a bit like the B&O<br />
Play A9 speaker — just a lot smaller.<br />
This is an all-metal design with a small<br />
stand, designed to be kept on a desk or<br />
countertop. BoomSlang Shield produces<br />
outstanding audio from the beautiful<br />
boombox. Upgraded 2x 10W drivers<br />
blast out rich, clear sound. The 4.0<br />
Bluetooth chipset and the enhanced<br />
bass resonator offer class-leading<br />
performance for incredibly clear<br />
IN FOCUS<br />
MONTAGE<br />
sound quality; the 20Watts acoustic<br />
output ensures an amazing audio<br />
experience with loud and rich music.<br />
There are no exposed screws or flashy<br />
lights — just the brushed aluminium<br />
exterior that glints in the weakest of<br />
light. It certainly looks very nice, with<br />
the machine drilled holes exuding a<br />
contemporary aesthetic. Like most<br />
Bluetooth speakers, this too has an Aux<br />
input, located on the stand on the back.<br />
Also on the back is the active<br />
subwoofer, covered with aluminium<br />
and hidden so well in the<br />
disc-shaped structure that<br />
you will probably miss it at<br />
first glance. It charges via<br />
micro USB and has a built-in<br />
microphone, in case you<br />
want to use it for conference<br />
calls. The stand houses<br />
the rechargeable battery<br />
(roughly 8 hours playtime on<br />
a full charge) and the basic<br />
controls. BoomSlang Shield<br />
bluetooth speaker is a stunning looking<br />
metallic finish speaker for your home<br />
and the office. Its brushed metal finish<br />
is impeccable and makes the speaker<br />
look good from any angle. Pairing is a<br />
straightforward process with no PINs<br />
needed. The audio is pleasing at low to<br />
mid volumes but we wouldn’t describe<br />
it as room-filling. It’s more at home on<br />
the coffee table when you have a small<br />
gathering or on your study table for<br />
personal listening.<br />
