Introduction

The WS1 Plus Bluetooth Audio TV Speaker, a compact yet surprisingly powerful little unit, promises clear sound and convenient connectivity. We put it through its paces to see if it lives up to the hype. Over the past few weeks, it’s been my constant companion, from movie nights to gaming sessions and even some casual music listening. This review will detail my experiences with the WS1 Plus (Model Number: WS1 Plus) and help you determine if it’s the right speaker for you.

Features

The WS1 Plus boasts several key features designed for ease of use and a pleasant audio experience. The angled design, for example, is a clever touch, allowing for wider sound dispersion. The independent knob for volume control is intuitive and easy to reach, while the colorful lamp adds a bit of visual flair. The dual-mode connectivity (Bluetooth 5.0 and wired) is a welcome addition, offering flexibility depending on your setup. The 3W speaker promises decent sound quality, which we’ll explore in more detail below.

Performance

In terms of sound quality, the WS1 Plus delivers a surprisingly rich audio experience for its size. The bass response is decent for a speaker of this size; it doesn’t quite hit the deep lows of a dedicated subwoofer, but it’s certainly adequate for everyday use. Mid-range frequencies are clear and crisp, making dialogue in movies and games easy to understand. Highs are bright without being harsh. The angled design does contribute to a more expansive soundstage than you might expect. I found the Bluetooth 5.0 connection to be stable and reliable, with no noticeable dropouts during my testing period. The wired connection offers a reliable alternative when Bluetooth isn’t an option.

During movie nights, the speaker handled the soundtrack and dialogue equally well. The volume was sufficient for a medium-sized room, creating an immersive movie-watching experience. While gaming, I found the sound effects to be clear and precise, enhancing the overall experience. The sound quality, for casual music listening, was good enough to enjoy various genres without frustration. However, pushing the volume to its absolute maximum did introduce a slight distortion, which is understandable for a speaker of this power.

Pros & Cons

Pros: Compact design, good sound quality for its size, easy-to-use controls, dual-mode connectivity (Bluetooth 5.0 & wired), affordable price point, stylish design with colorful lamp.

Cons: Slight distortion at maximum volume, limited bass response compared to larger speakers, might not be powerful enough for very large rooms.

Final Verdict

The WS1 Plus Bluetooth Audio TV Speaker (Model Number: WS1 Plus) is a great little speaker that punches above its weight. Its compact size and impressive sound quality make it an ideal choice for desktops, small rooms, or as a supplementary speaker for larger setups. While it has some limitations regarding bass and maximum volume, its overall performance is excellent considering its price and size. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a versatile and affordable Bluetooth speaker with a touch of style.
