Motorola EQ5 Portable Wireless Speaker


(3.5 out of 5)

MSRP: $107


This ultraportable Bluetooth speaker delivers very good sound for its size both for music and during calls.

Review date: Aug 18, 2008

The Motorola EQ5 is the gadget we’ve been carrying around with us to show our non-techie friends how cool Bluetooth can be. This tiny Bluetooth speaker is about the same size as our BlackBerry Curve 8330 Design At 4.6 x 2.6 x 0.6 inches and a mere 3.5 ounces, the EQ5 sports a miniature design and sleek look. Two speakers flank the Motorola logo along with an indicator light and the volume and playback controls in the center of the unit. On top is the call answer and end button, and the bottom has the sliding power switch. A small wire kickstand pops out from the back of the unit. On the left side behind a rubberized cap is a micro-USB charging port. A 3.5mm line-in jack resides behind another rubberized cap on the right side, with the microphone sitting above it.

ProsCons
  • Truly portable form factor
  • Extremely clear speakerphone
  • Good volume for its size
  • Built-in kickstand
  • Bluetooth connection sounds very compressed
  • Sound becomes distorted at high volumes
