Denon Envaya Mini DSB-100

Denon offers not only a wide range of Hi-Fi components for stereo systems and home theaters, but also various musical gadgets. Mobile acoustics company Denon in 2015 is represented by two models — Envaya and its more compact version Envaya Mini.

Acoustics for active people

Envaya Mini has a bright design with two colours (black and white), compact dimensions (54x210x51 mm) and light weight (0.5 kg). Battery life — 10 hours — a good indicator for models in this class.

An important point in Envaya Mini is protection against moisture and dust. The speaker is IPX4 certified, so it is not afraid of splashes on the beach and getting caught in the rain. Its body is covered with soft-touch plastic, and the ports (microUSB and line-in) are closed with a plug. However, the device must not be submerged under water. If you're planning to use the Envaya Mini in the field, you'll also appreciate the included storage and carrying case.

Technologies to improve sound quality

The built-in processor allows you to saturate the recording with a more voluminous sound, and significantly increase the quality of the high frequencies. And for solid reproduction of low frequencies, a passive radiator is provided, working together with two full-range speakers with a diameter of 40 mm. Another advantage of the model is support for AptX and NFC. The first technology improves the quality of music playback via Bluetooth, and the second is useful for quickly pairing the speaker with gadgets. She has a large margin of volume, good "bass". Although, the competitor in the form of JBL Charge 2 Plus is more bass. And some even put the Denon on par with more expensive models, like the Bose SoundLink Mini, and think that for the price of the Envaya Mini ($130) you won't find anything better in sound.

Denon Envaya Mini stands out from the competition with good sound, water resistance and AptX and NFC support.
