THE BEATBLOCK

Although the interior frame of the BeatBlock is made out of metal the exterior has a very nice (and quite thick) black rubber coating that makes it extremely durable.

The speaker measures 165mm in length, 63mm in height and 49mm in width with a weight of 359g. As you can see those measurements put it above most portable speakers but that's not a bad thing when you want power and large battery life.

At the front the device features a nice honeycomb design (5 of the boxes are covered so my guess is that the noise-cancelling mic is behind one of those).

The product name along with the power activity LED (red for standby, blue for when paired) are placed on the lower right end of the fascia.

Over at the right side we see the aux 3.5mm connector, on/off button (doubles as a green charging LED) and the micro-USB charging port.

The Bluetooth pairing button can also be used to answer/end calls and is placed at the top along with the volume up/down buttons.

You can check some of the units details on a small sticker placed at the rear.

The BeatBlock sits on 4 silicone feet (a passive bass radiator is present facing downwards).
