once in a blue moon something comes along that takes an ordinary household product
and makes it feel revolutionary and sometimes it's taken so far into a different stratosphere which
starts to carve out a special little category of its own altogether the gravistar pro in the purest
sense is a zinc alloy comprised bluetooth speaker but on the surface it looks like some kind of
rehabilitated militech spiderbot straight out of cd projects cyberpunk 2077 standing next to this
militech bot replica manufactured by darkhorse comics the mars pro special edition aquarius
especially looks apart with its asiatic theme patterns and symbols but if a modest design is
more your style or you prefer something that's even more bizarre than the aquarius gravastar
offers a number of insanely creative designs to suit your individual style each design of the
mars pro weighs over five pounds and features a unique triangular support structure with fully
articulated legs rgb light effects and touch volume controls the mars pro has a max battery
life of 15 hours and features bluetooth 5.0 with a transmission range of roughly 10 meters it ships
inside of a sleek silver metallic box that'll make you think twice about throwing it out there are
some key call outs on the side and even a nice pullout carry handle at a glance here's what's
included inside for a single unit we have the usb c to auxiliary cable that allows you to bypass
bluetooth using a physical connection a usb-c to 3.0 which supports fibo charging the instruction
manual which provides a very useful product diagram and finally the mars pro unit itself
fully assembled unless your particular model comes with any additional weaponry attachments
the body of the mars pro regardless of design is predominantly comprised of a zinc alloy material
that's cold to the touch there are a few abs components as well such as three operation buttons
disguised incredibly well just above the front facing subwoofer which packs a serious punch from
left to right we have the bluetooth pairing button the on and off button at the very center and the
rgb light button on the far right long pressing the light button will toggle the leds on and off
which are located behind the speaker grille on the left and right front geals and either side of the
rear sub as well as on the base of each of the three articulated legs short pressing the light
button will toggle in between six individual rgb colors and a double click will allow you to cipher
in between a breathing rgb effect gradient and a music beat mode sliding a finger along the top
meter will adjust the audio volume which can also be adjusted via the device the mars pro is paired
to once battery is exhausted you can charge the mars pro using the provided usb-c cable
and a 5-volt power source but if you really want to take the sci-fi theme to the next level then
this separately sold mars pro charging base is the way to go this is a beautifully sculpted accessory
that can serve as a landing base for your mars pro or perhaps even a planetary mining device
the charging base is fully comprised of abs and acrylic material but it gets seriously passed
for the zinc alloy that's used for the mars pro speakers and it even features its own internal rgb
leds that can be toggled using the hidden triangle and square buttons located at the very front the
base itself is powered using the provided brady usb-c cable and a 5-volt power source of your
choosing but for me the biggest benefit of using this accessory outside of aesthetics is that it
provides a true wireless charging solution using the included usbc magnet it attaches directly to
the type c port on the underside of the mars pro speaker which in turn allows you to simply
place the speaker onto the four prongs in order to initiate the wireless charging in addition
to pairing a single speaker to an audio source such as a cell phone nintendo switch computer
or even a smart tv mars pro speakers feature tws aka true wireless stereo this means the
two speakers can be synchronized to deliver a true left and right audio sound experience
me
oh
first things first the mars pro completely destroyed my jbl and beats pill plus speakers
i'm not sure how well you'll be able to capture the discrepancy between the three with youtube
compression and all other variables but trust me the mars pro is leagues ahead in person vocal
clarity treble mids and lows the mars pro came out on top in all areas the alloy body of the mars pro
has so much more density as compared to the others that it just delivers a superior sound stage and
deep bass response let me know if you were able to detect this as well through your own speakers or
headset now with all that said the biggest hurdle for most people when it comes to the mars pro
speakers is most certainly going to be the price tag you're looking at 229 on the lower end for
the black and white standard models and as much as 329 and 349 for the more customized versions
but do keep in mind if you use my exclusive code in the description you'll receive a 16
discount but even at a discount there's no getting around the fact that the mars pros
are expensive bluetooth speakers as compared to more budget-friendly alternatives out there
if you're looking for the bare necessities but i'll emphasize again as compared to my jbl and
my beats peel speaker especially the image pro virtually made them sound like toys when i was
jumping back and forth between them so at the end of the day i said that the mars pro speakers
are best suited for those that are looking to bring more personality and intrigue into their
space you can think of it as a conversation piece or stimulate for the imagination with the added
bonus of fantastic sound that's how i view the mars pro speakers but of course i want to know you
guys thoughts on this unusual product as well can you see yourself taking the plunge on something
so unordinary are you even into sci-fi in the first place if you answered yes drop a comment
down below and while you're at it throw out a few of your favorite sci-fi movies tv shows and
video games if you made it this far i want to show you guys my absolute favorite power bank to date
this is a 20 000 milliamp 100 watt laptop power bank by basis and what sets this power bank
apart from the rest is that it's capable of charging and sustaining a 16 inch macbook pro
while it's fully operational the vast majority of portable power banks on the market
do not have the juice to support demanding devices such as macbooks dell and hp laptops
and even ipad pros but this particular power bank can charge a full-size macbook pro
from zero to 36 percent in under 30 minutes and it even features a digital led status display
for monitoring charging speed as well as estimated time remaining until fully charged so this is the
perfect power bank for traveling especially if your internal laptop battery is no longer holding
a full charge after years of usage if you're interested hit the description to learn more
as always thanks for watching and supporting the channel and i will see you guys in the next one
you
