Performance Result
Elysium Infiniio has decent Bluetooth coverage. It pass 10m Bluetooth range in straight sight line with no obstacle test. And up to 5-6m with obstacles like wall. More than enough for you to walk around living room or bedroom while checking other stuffs on your smartphone. Just don’t go up/down stair. All my Android and iOS devices are able to pair and work flawlessly. By the way, it is on Bluetooth pairing discovery mode after powered on. Besides manual pairing, it supports NFC one touch pairing too. That’s the easiest and fastest way to get connected. For older non-Bluetooth devices, Aux in port is always there for you.
Remote control infrared range is okay too. It manages to get up to 5-6m in straight sight line. No problem for me to control Infiniio at the corner of the living room while sitting on big sofa at another side. Remote control is very useful on USB and Aux-in mode. Besides normal aux-in connection to connect to portable music player, Infiniio itself is a MP3/WMA player on USB mode. Yup, just connect USB flash drive with MP3 songs will do. And change to USB mode (with blue LED light) to start playing. By the way, Bluetooth mode is blue colour, aux-in is green and standby is red. Random function is very useful on USB mode. You get the chance to play tracks randomly else built-in player will go folder by folder and song by song. Oh, before I forget. It will continue playback the last song even changing modes and power off. That’s great.
Yes, yes, yes… Elysium Infiniio can charge your smartphone, tablet and music player with its USB port. A nice feature to keep your player get charged while playing music, right? However, it does not seem to support 2.1A because my iPad and Galaxy Note 3 get 1A only based on USB voltmeter reading. Hmm… Not a deal breaker as it is just an add-on feature. And it will still be able to keep your smartphone continue to play 24/7 non-stop music with screen on even with 1A. Just not the fastest for those devices with 2A charging support.
Elysium Infiniio stays in my bedroom currently. And I love the brushed aluminium control panel. Why? It has the cool touch feel in aircon room. Besides, the illuminated control keys let you to see even in dark environment. Perfect to use in bedroom when light off. In addition, Infiniio slim profile design let you enjoy powerful bass without the bulky dedicated subwoofer. And can be easily placed in living room, bedroom, lounge and office.
Elysium Infiniio sound great with Lotoo PAW 5000 DAP which support Bluetooth as music source for FLAC format HD tracks. Clear and bright treble is what you get. And it is slightly sharp by default. Therefore, I boasted the bass with remote control to compensate it. As result, you can get deeper bass too (which I prefer). And it can produce really loud sound at max volume without distortion. Yup, feel the bass pumping on Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean and Beat It. And enjoy the clarity of the guitar on Taylor Swift’s songs. Furthermore, it is also a great companion for smartphone and tablet on games and movies. Just connect it with NFC and you are ready to enjoy all your favourite entertainments with much better and louder sound. Personally, I love to watch anime and YouTube MV with it…
