Combined with the four speakers of the X1, you have 200 watts of loss -auda power per one cable, and with Dolby Audio support (although no Dolby Atmos) and 25 MS latency on screen there are no sinking problems that I could see. The range for the loudspeakers is up to 100 feet, but you will want them closer for a kinematic sound.
I missed the Biopic Bob Dylan cinema edition A complete strangerBut streaming it with Disney + in 4K Ultra HD, I was sucked right in the 1960s Greenwich Village, and both concert, dialogue and studio audio were excellent, with instrumentation, crowd, and FX impressively balanced. Even the Bang-crash-Wallop of Tom Hardy’s terrible Netflix Caper Havoc sounded powerful and engaging.
Features, connectivity and cost
For streaming, the misty X1 uses the Google TV platform with Netflix built in and Google Cast. If you want to connect to a blue-ray player or gaming console, there are two HDMI ports (one with EARC). There are also USB and USB-C options and a 3.5-millimeter headset.
Back in my apartment and with Karaoke-YouTube channel loaded, the microphones in the loudspeaker really came into their own, especially if you are a ten-year-old girl and her mother. Enthusiastic warfare aside, the quality was rock-solid, and battery life too long!
It is worth remembering that while the withdrawal handle makes this projector “portable”, it weighs 13.7 pounds (6.2 kilograms) and requires power. If you want a true iron battery design, like the great XGIMI GO+ ($ 699), you will need to sacrifice brightness and auditory power. I am still sold in court movies, but I live in a cold, super -populated part of the world. If you have the space for a dedicated outdoor screen, and can sting the volume without disturbing the neighbors, you will participate. Just make sure your WiFi signal is strong enough.
The X1 also connects to the smartphone program Nebula Connect (iOS,, Android). I couldn’t use it because of early beta testing, but connecting and checked four or five different projectors with it, I have no doubt it will work well. If something, it tends to be easier than the remote, though finding menus for manual control is some villain if you don’t know where to look.
At $ 3,000, the X1 is currently the most expensive portable projector. It is comparable in price to quality Home Cinema Projector, but these often lack streaming capabilities or sound. Despite the wonderful image quality, AI Smarts and Streaming, I’m not sure it’s worth the money on your own.
But add into the loudspeakers and the microphones – the package are available for $ 3,427– And the proposal is quite different. The impact that the satellite speakers have on your enjoyment of a movie, combined with excellent image quality and whispering operation makes it easy, although it is expensive, a product to recommend.
