Manual of product ASTEROID Classic
Editorial note
The Parrot ASTEROID Classic stands out for its customizable sound experience thanks to a 7-band equalizer, allowing users to adjust audio frequencies according to their preferences. Its built-in Bluetooth connectivity makes wireless use easy with various compatible devices, while the 3.2-inch TFT screen provides clear and precise display quality for immersion in multimedia content. Additionally, the RDS tuner allows for better reception of radio stations and provides additional information about broadcasts, with the ability to store up to 6 stations. However, this model also has some notable drawbacks. The lack of compatibility with iPod devices may disappoint some users attached to this ecosystem. Furthermore, the lack of support for CD-R and CD-RW playback limits options for those who prefer to listen to recordable discs. The Bluetooth 2.1+EDR model, while functional, is relatively old and may not offer the best performance in terms of speed and range. Finally, the output power of 55 W, while adequate for normal use, may not satisfy audiophiles seeking a high-quality sound experience. Overall, the Parrot ASTEROID Classic offers a modern design and interesting features, but it may not be suitable for all users due to certain limitations.Score details
