Do you long for the 80s and 90s where you could walk down the street with a boombox over your shoulder listing to your favorite beats? If you are too young to know about the boombox era, Google it. We have more important things to talk about, like the Zulu Audio Wearable Bluetooth Speakers. Considered by many to be the modern-day boombox. The Zulu Audio Wearable Bluetooth Speakers combine the portability of a headphone with the functionality of a Bluetooth speaker. Let’s take a closer look at these unique wearable speakers and find out whether it’s genius or ludicrous. Zulu Audio Wearable Bluetooth Speakers Design At first glance, you might mistake the Zulu Audio Wearable Bluetooth Speakers for a pair of earbuds. Each speaker is slightly smaller than palm-sized and connected via a cord. Exactly like a pair of earbuds. The cord hangs around your neck, allowing the two speakers to rest over your chest. Zulu Audio provides you with two magnets to place at the back of the speaker under your shirt to keep them in place. A rubber clip is also provided to help keep the speakers in position. You can attach the clip behind or in front of your neck to give you more or less slack on the cord. The rubber clip will position the speakers higher or lower on your shirt, depending on your preference. The total weight of the device is 3 oz, which is significantly lighter than the average 10-ounce over-ear headphone. The magnets are sufficiently strong enough to hold the speakers even during the most rigorous activity like running, cycling, skateboarding, or even shooting hoops. While these magnets are strong, they are small enough that they may easily get lost. Like most small bits of any equipment, you might have. Luckily, you can purchase replacement magnets via the Zulu Audio website. A single replacement magnet costs $2.99. A possible future cost to consider. The Zulu Audio Wearable Bluetooth Speakers come with an IPX4 waterproof rating, which means the product is splashproof. Perfect for use when it’s raining or if you are a heavy sweater. Battery and Connections The Zulu Audio Wearable Bluetooth Speakers feature a lithium-ion battery giving you up to 4 hours of playing time (at 75% volume). In standby mode, the battery will last around seven days. From flat, the speakers will fully recharge in under 2.5 hours. You have just the option of Bluetooth when it comes to audio connections. The speakers feature Bluetooth 4.1, which is more than sufficient for this sort of device. You only get a 17-foot Bluetooth range, which is significantly less than the 66-foot average of other Bluetooth 4.1 speakers. But then the Zulu Audio Wearable is more like a set of headphones where you’ll typically have your mobile in your pocket or bag. So, I don’t see the range being an issue. The Zulu Audio Wearable Bluetooth Speakers have a built-in microphone so you can make and receive calls as well as voice assistants like Siri or Google. On the primary speaker, you’ll find plus (+) and minus (-) buttons. Both act as multi-function buttons for volume control, play/pause, and managing incoming calls. What Do Zulu Audio Wearable Bluetooth Speakers Sound Like? When I first looked at the Zulu Audio Wearables, I thought, “these are going to sound rubbish.” But the speakers perform surprisingly well. On par with most compact Bluetoooth speaker. Mid-Range and Treble Response The mid-range and treble response is on par with a budget Bluetooth speaker. It’s not high-quality, but you can hear everything clearly. One thing to note is the Zulu Audio Wearables are somewhat directional, meaning people around you won’t hear the same quality and volume. You have to have the speakers around your neck to get the full effect. Lastly, call quality is, again, surprisingly good on the Zulu Audio Wearables. The caller does sound a little distant, but no more so than when you’re using the speakerphone on a Bluetooth speaker. Your voice will be heard by the caller clearly, which is where a lot of Bluetooth calls quality is lacking.
