Features and Technology
The cardboard box containing the Inateck BP2003 speaker is printed in one colour and contains only one symbol of the speaker. The package contains, next to the loudspeaker, which is padded with little plastic, a user manual, as well as a 1 m long micro-USB charging cable and a 1 m long 3.5 mm jack cable. The cables are silver and match the colours of the Bluetooth speakers.
The upper part of the speaker is made of transparent acrylic, which looks like frozen glass. The lower part of the outer casing and the buttons are made of plastic. Two rubber feet provide a firm hold so that the speaker cannot be moved easily. From the front you can see the two drivers and the on/off button, which houses a status LED. From above you can only see the Inateck lettering. On the rear side there are four buttons and the connectors for Micro-USB and AUX. The BP2003 speaker would fit very well on a well tidied up desk with white devices.

The reset button is located between the two connections and can only be reached with a small pointed object. Next to the connectors are the buttons for volume control and mode switching (Bluetooth or AUX). You can fast-forward or rewind a song by holding down the volume buttons.
To switch the device on or off, keep the on/off button pressed. The on/off button also serves as a start/stop button, as long as you press it briefly. If you switch the loudspeakers on or off, you will hear an acoustic noise that is easy to hear.
If you press the M button longer, you disconnect the Bluetooth connection and can pair a new device with the speakers. Unfortunately, the speaker does not support multipoint pairing, which means that only one device can be paired with the speakers at a time. When a device is successfully paired, a bright noise sounds, when a device is disconnected, the noise is darker.
Battery Life
The running time of six to ten hours specified by the manufacturer shall be achieved. This may vary depending on the volume. Charging takes about two hours until the speakers are fully charged.
Sound
The BP2003 loudspeakers deliver a good and clear sound for a price of approx. 60 Euro. The bass is very good here and the rest of the frequency spectrum is not neglected either.
With the help of “airflow technology”, which is an open tube about 15 cm long from the outer part of the housing to the interior, the frequencies of the lower spectrum are generated. Remember this by closing the opening with your finger and opening it again.
Conclusion
The Bluetooth loudspeakers from Inateck give a good sound, which I like very much with a price of approx. 60 euros. Unfortunately, I miss the option of multipoint pairing. But if you don’t need it, the Inateck BP2003 is a good choice.
