last night I brought you my unboxing of the unit and today I figured I’d bring you some bite-size chunks of an overview. So you don’t have to listen to one long overview you can quickly find what you’re interested in and listen to something quick. Even if you’re interested in, everything is probably not more than 10 minutes.
I hadn’t heard or found a lot of audio to look at what the unit has to offer before making the purchase so I’m glad to offer that.
I figured the best thing to do is to update this post as I have new findings instead of making a bunch of new ones so that’s what I’ll do. I left the. BTSpeak sleeping for just around eight hours today and the battery drop from 100 to 50%. That is not bad. I hear there is to be an upgrade coming out soon and I will post audio of the upgrade process when the upgrade is available to me.
my case came today. Beware of the ships from outside the country, link below. It is a case for a mobile phone so to speak, but you can put pretty much anything you want in it. The dimensions are pretty close to the. BTSpeak. you cannot use the unit when it is in the case, of course. Open the mouth of the case wide before inserting the unit or removing the unit so as not to brush the keyboard. There is an Intral pocket which I have put some USB-C headphones and outer pocket where I put a USB-C charging cable.
speaking of USB-C headphones, the Apple EarPods that are USB-C version work really well! They don’t block out what you’re listening to from the outside so if you’re in a class or meeting, you will still be able to hear the presentation, but you were also able to easily hear your speach from the BTSpeak. they are pretty cheap/inexpensive and lightweight. Of course the unit ships with a USB-C two, 3.5 inch adapter but if you don’t want to have an extra adapter on a pair of headphones, these are a great suggestion.

now let’s dive into some audio examples, that may be used for training and or understanding the unit before you may get one.
Lets first look at an orientation of the unit see audio below.
