0:01 Jonathan the DJ Tutor

Right ladies and gentlemen, Jonathan the DJ Tutor. And on the odd occasion I will do you a demonstration or an unboxing of a relatively new piece of kit. And this is one of them. It's the Remix from V-Moda. It is a wireless metal speaker. And this is an unboxing. So what can I tell you about this? It's suitable for a DJ but you wouldn't take it on the road. It's suitable for a DJ, for in the house if you want to listen to some music with a good quality sound but you don't want it blasting. Apart from that you can take it on the road with you or when I say on the road not as into a gig but if you're going outside with the family and you just want to hear some music in the middle of nowhere then this could be a nice little item to take with you because not only

Does it sound good? It's got a bit of class as well. So Remix wireless metal speaker. Now, what you can do as well is you can customise them. So I'll pause the... No, in fact, I'm not going to pause the camera. Let's open it up. So we've got a plastic tab there I'm going to cut through and one on the other side I'm going to cut through. I believe you push that open. There you go. Right. So as with all V-Moda items, there is an element of class. Even while you're opening the box, it isn't just like a flimsy package that you throw away. You tend to want to keep the box itself because it's just got that little bit of class to it. So another little plastic piece there and open it up. Another one on that side as well. Move that out of the way. And there it is. Right, let's just tilt the camera down very slightly.

2:23 The remix You can customise it

We will zoom in and let's see what we've got. Okay, so there is the speaker. I'll tell you what, it just feels nice. Let me put the light up a little bit. That's better. It just feels good. It's got that kind of tactile, you want to hold it. It's metal. It's not plastic. It just looks and feels... Quality and professional. Now on the back as well we've got this in so you can go buy a mini jack in, USB there for charging and also vamp out. Now that is a headphone amplifier so if it's anything like the Vamp Versa it's going to be a very good quality sound. Now the remix You can customise it. Now, like with, I'm just going to zoom out a little bit, with the headphones that you can get from Vmoda, you can also customise the remix as well. So you can get your own, I suppose in a way they're a bit like shields, you know, you have your shields on your headphones, where you can customise either side. So you can almost get like little stands to put it on. Now that looks quite...

Extravagant there it does it looks as though it's cost a million dollars to be quite honest but the proof is in as they say the pudding so I'm going to give it a test now of course bearing in mind you're not going to hear the correct sound because i'm just recording via the microphone off the camera but you may get a good idea all right so let's just have another look in the box we've got A leaflet with, I presume, information and also a serial number of the item. So always keep things like this. Don't just chuck it away. Keep it. And then on the other side, if we open this up, there is another box, I presume, with the lead. So hold on. There we go. Right, let's open this up and have a look. OK, yep, we have a very nice long...

Micro USB cable, not about 3 inches long that some people give you. And inside there we have our headphone cable and also we've got a couple of these. Now they're red. What are they for? Springs? No, something for the kids to draw around. I don't think so. What they are though is you can take the black rubber sides off. and attach the yellow ones so of course really these are for just making sure that if you do put your remix on a nice polished flat surface you're not going to scratch it which is what you don't want to do right so i'm going to pause the camera and let's get it set up all right so without me fiddling around and having to edit the video anyway Pairing my iPhone with the remix. So all I did is I turned it on, the on button, and then directly opposite that on the other side you have a button with pair, P-A-I-R, on, not the one you eat. P-A-I-R, oh never mind, I can't spell. What you do is you press that for three seconds and you hear quite a nice little tone. Of course you need to go onto your iPhone, go into settings,

6:18 I'm sure you're familiar with Bluetooth

Go to Bluetooth settings and then when you press pair, you'll see or should see the V-Moder icon come up. Just a question of pressing that. The phone will explain then that it should be connected to the remix and you should be pretty much good to go. Something like this. Okay, D-Train Lenny Fontana. So again... I'm sure you're familiar with Bluetooth. You can either increase or decrease the volume by your phone. Alternatively, you do have a plus and minus here. And so you can increase it or decrease it here. Now, I'm going to be honest with you here, very, very honest. It's not booming loud. It is definitely not booming loud. But what I am getting... It's a lot of quality and clarity to the sound. I would say there's a great deal of time being spent in making sure that the listener gets a good high-end sound. It's full. You've got a lot of highs, a lot of mids, and there's a little bit of subtle bass there, but I think what they try to do...

It's make sure that the clarity of sound is there. It's like a good wine. Bottle of red wine, bottle of red wine. They both look the same. But when you drink them, you just feel that one has got a lot more body and depth. It's been aged longer. This is a little bit like that. It's like a damn good Chateau Lafitte. You expect to have quality of sound and you've got it. So there you go. Now I believe the distance... You can go in between your phone, your device and the remix is around about I think it's 10 meters or something like that. I will check up but I will be doing another video on this. Also what I'll be doing in the description of this video is putting all the information on the remix. All right so I hope that's been a help and there it is. It is a nice item. So I suppose in a way if you are looking for a bluetooth speaker

It's just got that kind of high end feel. It's very tactile. Then go and check it out. But if you want something just to power your phone, then go to the local Asda and buy something for £10 and I'm sure you'll be very happy. Practice and enjoy. Thank you very much.
