With simple paring you can stream your audio directly on the speaker at loud volume. Ideal for conference calling, BT013 is easy to operate.

The front side has gray grills covering the audio driver backside. The volume projected in front part. There is a tiny light indicator inside. It turns to blue when in pairing mode. The power button and other connectivity ports are on the backside. A 3.5mm audio jack is provided to use it with pc and other devices. Next to that there is a micro USB port for charging this speaker. A complete charge takes around 3 hours. And next to that there is an usb port. You can directly play your songs through it. It does not have a memory card slot. It would be helpful to have a microSD card slot at the backside.

LEFT/RIGHT:

There are two keys on the left. This button is multi-functional. Like the top one is for controlling volume and also for changing the song. It has as usb port and you can use the keys to change songs. The second one below set different mode. There are three. The right side has nothing. To change modes you have to hold the second button for few seconds. The speaker will switch from call to fm and then to usb. To reduce the volume hold the first key from few seconds.

TOP/BOTTOM:

The top side features a glossy finish with company log in the center. There is no light indicator or buttons on the top part. The design is bit curved that makes it look more classy. Thick dimension offers easy placement. You don’t really need big space for this. Lower part has thin rubber feet. This allows the speaker to have a bit grip on the surface.

Performance:

Zebronics Dynamite BT013 has a satisfactory audio output. It is ideal for mobile, tablet, laptops, etc. It has a really loud sound. It is low in bass effect. That is because of small audio driver and there is no internal amplifier in it. 800mAh battery can give you a decent usage life. As per the specs it provides you around 5 hours of playback time through an usb and 4 hrs on Bluetooth. We had tested and we are able to get around 3 to 4 hours continuous usage on Bluetooth. The problem lies with the buttons. Most of the time the speaker is stuck on the Bluetooth mode. It has a built in FM which I had tried many times but it does not work. It emits a loud beep sound when battery is empty. It has a integrated mic also.

Conclusion:

Zebronics Dynamite BT013 is a good portable Bluetooth speaker. If you want some additional audio power other than your mobile phone speaker then you can go ahead with this. The cost is Rs.1369 on Flipkart. There are few models that come in the same price range, but they don’t offer you usb and fm connectivity. The battery life is also good. The speaker works well from the range of 10meters. It produces a loud sound enough for an entire room. Audio quality is a good thing about this, but it would be better if it has integrated amplifier for different sound effects. Overall it is a good choice for those who are looking for powerful entry level Bluetooth speaker.
