GOgroove QEMRO Bluetooth Speaker
- Whoa, cool 5W, 4.75" spherical speaker! But that design…
- Bluetooth or aux-in! Rad! But that design…
- 16 hour battery life at top volume! Right on! But that design…
- But that design… is why it’s so cheap
- Model: GGQAMQD100BLUS (Ooh, a challenge. Let’s unpack this mystery. GG if for GoGroove, Q for Qemro, A for Audio. M…ok, lost there. Q again, because for some reason it is in the name twice. D? Need some help there, too. I bet 100 is just where they start counting. BL looks like Bluetooth, and US for United States. Mystery almost solved! And that’s how you make a hideously ugly, way too long model number.)
Buy the pink house.
There’s a reason most speakers are basic black. And most houses have neutral exteriors. And most cars nowadays are black or silver or white or, at their most daring, red. Because a bold visual commitment is more likely to turn prospective buyers away than draw them in.
We’ll leave aside the aesthetic, er… merits of the print wrapped around this spherical GOgroove speaker. Suffice to say it does indeed make a bold visual commitment. Maybe you, um, really like it.
But assuming you’re among the 99% of people who don’t, a loud paint job is still an opportunity. Everything else being equal, you’re going to get a better deal on a lime green house than on the identical house painted beige. You can drive a lemon yellow car off the used car lot for less than the same model in black.
And you can get the same kind of deal on this 4.75-inch spherical speaker, 70mm drivers, 40-foot Bluetooth range, and all. The black version (which we don’t have, obviously) gets really good reviews on Amazon, none of which talk about how ugly it is.
But if it’s still too big a leap for you to make, if this brand of teenage back-of-the-notebook anime surrealism is just too off-putting, would you mind telling your neighbor in the orange house about this deal? We’re pretty sure they would understand.
