Beacon

Our take on the Beacon Audio Phoenix

by Ralph Graves
Beacon Phoenix blue

Small enough to take anywhere.

It's small, simple, and sounds way bigger than it looks. That's the Beacon Audio Phoenix portable powered speaker system. It's about the size of a coffee mug, making it easy to slip into your backpack or handbag. Pair it wirelessly to your smartphone or other Bluetooth-enabled device, and you're ready to party. The Phoenix has two titanium-core full-range drivers that team up with a down-firing passive radiator for clear,  surprisingly full sound.

And operation is simple, too. The large touch interface on the top not only lets you adjust volume, but also sends play, pause, and skip track commands to your paired device.  The built-in rechargeable battery delivers up to eight hours of non-stop music. A provided tangle-resistant cable lets you plug in non-Bluetooth portables, such as a portable game console or CD player.

    Features

    Bluetooth Speaker: The Phoenix by Beacon features built-in Bluetooth (ver. 2.1+EDR) technology. It supports A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) and AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile). You can wirelessly stream music from your Bluetooth-enabled iPod/iPhone/iPad, Android smartphone/tablet, Blackberry, laptop/computer, or other device to the Phoenix Bluetooth speaker. It even allows you to control Play/Pause & Next/Previous Track functions of your Bluetooth-enabled device.

    Note: The Phoenix can be paired to multiple devices, but not at the same time. Due to the differences in Bluetooth technology, some Bluetooth enabled devices may be incompatible, function improperly, or may not support all features when used with the Phoenix Bluetooth speaker.

    Drivers: The Phoenix Bluetooth speaker features dual titanium core full-range drivers powered by a 4W amplifier, along with a passive radiator for great sound from a small speaker.

    Aux Input: The Phoenix by Beacon is fitted with a 3.5mm auxiliary input for connecting an external audio source which features an audio or headphone output.

    Rechargeable Battery: The Phoenix Bluetooth speaker uses a built-in rechargeable Lithium battery (850mAh) that lasts between 6-8 hours. It can be charged from a free USB (type-A) port on your computer using the included mini-USB to USB charging cable. Charging time is approximately 2-3 hours.

    Excellent for Traveling

    Written By M, Minneapolis, MN on Tuesday, April 30, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    We traveled to Europe with this, and it was great to have music in our room before going out. We streamed music from our iPad, and for the size, this little speaker sounds great.
    Pros:
    Size, ease of use, sound for its size
    Cons:
    Because it is so small, it is limited on max volume.

    Beacon speakers

    Written By Jess, Winston salem on Saturday, April 06, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    This product exceeded my expectations. Great design, easy to travel with, and sound quality is best ive heard compared to other products in this price range. Also Beacon automatically connects to the last device it was using when you turn it on so there is no need to pick up my iphone. I brought this on my cruise and it was very convenient.
    Pros:
    Small design, powerful speaker, easy to use buttons, remembers last device so just turn Beacon on and music will start, long lasting battery, great for traveling.

    Small speaker with big sound.

    Got mine on sale so that was a bonus. Pretty decent sound. Very portable. Controls are a little finicky but it does control the device so that's nice. Overall nice for what it is.
    Pros:
    Small, light, loud, and seems to be well built,
    Cons:
    Sometimes the volume adjustment advances or starts a song over since it uses a common button.

    Big things do come in small packages

    Until you hear this little speaker in action you will not beleve it! Rich, full sound, good highs, mids and lows in something so small. The price may seem a bit high for such a small speaker, but it's worth every penny! Great travel speaker.
    Pros:
    BT Music, works great with IPhone and iPad, size.
    Cons:
    None

    Great portable sound

    Forget about a boombox this is all you need, portable, you can use Bluetooth or via cable and sounds good for the price
    Pros:
    Very portable, great sound and price. Easy setup. Can control basic functions on speaker when using bluetooth.
    Cons:
    I get intermittent Bluetooth reception when I move around quickly using my smartphone (within 20 feet) as the source. I can live with this.

    Great speaker for the money, although not as loud and not as much base and sound quality as Bose. However for $200 less its well worth the money for the use in the golf cart and around the pool that I bought it for.
    Pros:
    Value and ease of use
    Cons:
    Loudness and lack of bass

    Rare case of Form Factor trumps Sound Quality

    Written By tomh, Philadelphia, PA on Monday, January 28, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Reviewers and customers all love this little speaker and so do I. It's tiny and handy and its convenience way out-weighs they slightly lacking sound quality. The bluetooth is flawless (except of course for iOS6's annoying drop-outs) and also well thought-out. Rather than having to go into iOS settings and connect to the speaker each time you want to use it, you just hold the power button down on the Beacon for about 10 seconds (kinda long, but it's still quicker than the alternative) and it auto connects to the last bluetooth transmitter it was connected to! And to be able to skip songs from the speaker itself is also surprisingly convenient -- can leave the iPad safely closed and covered out of harm's way.

    The bass is what I expected... subtle, but in a quiet room, you can hear that the little passive radiator is thumpin' pretty strong. It actually sounds like it has more low-end range than physically possible. So that is acceptable. But what is a little lacking is the high end. Treble is clean and natural, but there is little crisp "high-hat range" sizzle. When I run an EQ-able app, it does create the crispness I like, but most apps in iOS don't have equalization built in. Movie channel stream apps, rdio, grooveshark... non have EQ's built in.

    To really make this little box shine, an added internal digital EQ would really supe it up! If it has that feature, I'd have nothing to complain about. It's be perfect. But the sound is still very good.
    Pros:
    Form factor... couldn't be more convenient. Really small, really consistent and very cool looking. Bluetooth is flawless and well engineered. Sound is loud and clean. Fills a small room with sound.
    Cons:
    Could really use an internal EQ (two band would be plenty - or even just a treble adjustment since I figure bass is maxed out just shy of distortion). High end slightly lacking in intensity.

    Packs a lot of punch in a little package! You won't believe the sound you get from such a small speaker. It's small enough to carry anywhere, the battery life is great. It's easy to use, What's not to like?

    Great Little Speaker!

    Written By Mel, Iowa on Thursday, January 03, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Excellent product. Amazing sound for such a small speaker. No 'tinny' sound, good clarity. The bass is amazing and will actually shake the table you set it on. You can crank the volume up REALLY loud. Battery life seemed to last even longer than advertized. I would highly recommend this product! It is very reasonably priced so you get a lot for your money. Very small and portable.
    Pros:
    Amazing sound. Great clarity. Nice bass. Can get REALLY loud volume. Long battery life. Great deal for the price.
    Cons:
    Only downside is if you want to use it to listen to the radio via your ipod or whatever, you do need a cable connection. Otherwise, listening to the rest of your music is, of course, wireless.

    Small size great sound

    Written By Todd, Ma on Sunday, December 30, 2012
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    For a small speaker it sure sounds great. I was looking for a small cordless speaker to play songs off my iPad with and this one works great. Great sound and the bass sounds great also.
    Pros:
    Small size, no cords required to use it.
    Cons:
    It does move (slide)slightly when in use from the thump of the bass. Be sure to clean the rubber feet to prevent this. Other than that this speaker rocks!

    Small but powerful. I attached this to my IPOD and cranked it up to full volume with good results. Perfect for music in a room, your patio or on the beach. Not sure I would recommend it for a large party.

    Beacon cube

    Written By Skeet, Huntington, WV on Thursday, December 06, 2012
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Nice sounding, of course no real low end, very portable and non-invasive in most home and car environments. Better than most computer speakers that do not include the separate subwoofer box. Would highly recommend for anyone desiring a nice portable speaker with sufficient volume for most uses. Extremely surprised by volume it can produce without distortion.
    Pros:
    Size, sound quality, portability, battery length.
    Cons:
    Some difficulty with on off button, you have to hold it down longer than you might anticipate five seconds being, would prefer it were a separate button. Slightly complex regarding initial bluetooth set up since it flashes when it is searching for any signal, and flashes, but much faster when in detect/pairing mode.

    Far Beyond Awesome!

    Written By Jose - SiriusXM Liquid Metal/Octane/Ozzy's B, New York, NY on Sunday, December 02, 2012

    Holy smokes this speaker howls and screams complete awesomeness!!! I can't even count how many bands and folks I've already turned on to this amazing small package that packs a solid punch! I love amazing people w/ how cool this Phoenix speaker is by using it at work at SiriusXM in my office, at the house and even on vacation! I was a judge for a big "Battle Of The Bands" contest last month and I used this monster to listen to all 30 finalists' music & videos one night in order to make my decision! I even used my Phoenix to power our family's recent yard sale in NJ and while freaking neighbors out w/ loud hard rock I also impressed a few who said they were going to buy one too! OK, one more story, my wife and I used our Phoenix on vacation in Puerto Rico and blasted it in our killer room AND on the gorgeous beach of San Juan! Even though this speaker is sexy looking, my wife still was waaaay hotter! Haha... Anyways, I rarely write reviews on stuff I order, but I really felt like sharing my satisfaction w/ this purchase w/ the world! Yesterday I saw some commercial for some subpar product and it got me fired up about Beacon and how I want people to know about this thing! Thanks for reading this and hope it helps ya w/ your decision on buying this beast! You can thank me later! Peace in a celebrated cloud of music....
    Pros:
    SOUND - SOUND - SOUND and... sexy look, small design, smart design, ease of use, long battery use, great price, light weight, cool name (I'm from Phoenix AZ!)
    Cons:
    none!

    Excellent audio quality and extremely portable!

    Written By Geo, New Mexico on Thursday, November 22, 2012
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    The Phoenix..... Dear God this thing is awesome!!!!

    Very rich sound in a small enclosure. That is the best way to describe it.

    I work in the construction business and am around power tools and various machinery all day. I brought the Phoenix to work this past week and a large amount of my coworkers could not believe the quality and the volume that it produced. I mainly used it to stream Spotify through the Phoenix's easy to use Bluetooth capability or pluged in my iPod to the 3.5mm jack in the back (all while cranking the volume and not experiencing distortion). Another thing that I liked are the rubber feet on the bottom, it stayed put on ladders while working, which is what I want from a Bluetooth speaker.

    All in all this is the most ideal Bluetooth speaker I have used to date. It's an absolute must have while hanging-out with your friends or traveling to remote parts of the world.
    Pros:
    Extremely high audio quality + Stylish/Design + Makes heads turn + Easy to use + Very portable + Bluetooth & AUX 3.5mm are harmonious
    Cons:
    The fact that you have not bought one yet..... Get on it!!!!!
