Sound Quality

I spent years as an audio engineer, and I can confidently say that at this price range, you cannot get better sound than this model. Two 8-inch woofers produce punchy, balanced bass, while a 3-inch tweeter provides crisp, clean highs. This allows for larger than life sound – music you not only hear, but feel. For me, this is a crucial part of the karaoke experience.

This is actually a perfect little PA system as well. I imagine it would be well suited for contests, company retreats, and family gatherings.

500 Watts Peak Power, and Solid Battery Life

Impressively, the JYX Speaker retains excellent sound – even at the highest volume range. I set it up outdoors under the stars in Death Valley. We were a large group that had a blast singing at full volume…for hours. In fact, the 5200mAh rechargeable battery lasts up to 4 hours in such conditions.

The JYX Speaker Has Great Lighting Modes

I used to find rainbow “karaoke lighting” rather cheesy, but now I’ve come to embrace it as part of the whole festive experience. Haha. There are a few solid color options to choose from, and also no lighting at all (which is what I choose when I use the unit as a bluetooth speaker for Spotify.)

The light “dances” and pulses along with the music, which is a pretty cool effect.

An Assortment of Mic Inputs / Options

The included wireless microphones work flawlessly. There are even 2 more inputs for wired mics. The bluetooth range and functionality has always impressed me. This means it’s easy to connect the speaker to your phone, tablet, or computer. However, there is also the option of inserting a TF (SD) card, which I assume you can play audio files from.

I have not had any luck getting this to work, so I’m not sure if I’m using this as intended. Same goes with the USB input. To be fair, I misplaced my instructions, and the info is probably in there.

Supposedly you can even record yourself on the SD cards & usb sticks! I’m sure I’ll use this at some point.

USB Charging

Speaking of which, there’s also a USB output, which is super convenient for keeping your devices charged while you sing.

Stereo Pairing Capability

This is such a cool feature. I only have 1 unit at the moment, but apparently you can connect 2 of them in tandem for true stereo sound!

More JYX T9 Pros:

• Portable – pull out handle, with convenient wheels for easy transport
• Decent size + large sound, yet somehow minimal weight
• Great battery life
• Remote works with my Macbook (assuming I’m using a youtube playlist for vids)
• Quite affordable

Cons:

• Mic cutoff to save battery (soft voices may have to sing louder to let sound through)
• Mic levels cannot be adjusted separate from each other
• Mic volume / Echo strength buttons are labeled backward, confusing for U.S. users

My Conclusion

Honestly, this is one of the best purchases I have ever made. It is simply unheard of to find all of these options, with superb sound quality…and at a price point like this. I have used it every week for 16 months straight. It still works just as it did the day I bought it. Since it’s lightweight and easy to move around, I’ve taken it many places with me.

So. Much. Fun.

Where to Buy

The unit is available on Amazon HERE. As of this writing, I have had no communication with this company, and I purchased this model myself. Do keep in mind, though, using my Amazon links does help me provide this kind of content.

Sing on!

There’s no way around it…of all options, the E600LFP seemed to be the best value. The most bang for the buck.

Power Station Specs

In fact, it’s actually quite amazing how many features they managed to pack into such a reasonably priced model. While most competitors at this range feature 600W peak power, the Pecron boasts a whopping 1,200W, with an AC Pure Sine Wave Inverter. It even has a surge of up to 2,400W! This was the main selling point for me.

There’s a large capacity 614WH (watt hours). I don’t use it, but there is also a wireless charging surface on the top of the unit. Again, shocking at this price point.

Multiple Charging Options

The E600LFP can be topped up quite rapidly with an external charge pack (provided). You plug it into the wall, and it can finish charging in just a few hours. There is a special input for this, and amazingly, you can also use up to 400W of solar charging through this input as well! I tested up to about 300W and it worked great.

(Note, the new units seem to mention a max of 300W solar charging, instead of the 400W that mine came with. Not sure what’s going on with that.)

There is also a normal DC style input, for use with provided 12v car charger, and smaller panels as well. I believe it goes up to 100W max. I tried this with a 120W Elecaenta portable solar panel.

LiFePo4 Technology

I don’t know much about it, but this unit has a “LiFePo4 Battery with 3,500+ Life Cycles to 80%”. This is said to increase the lifespan substantially.

11 Output Options

The Pecron has plenty of outputs to run / charge appliances & devices. There’s standard USB of course, as well as a super fast 100W USB-C option. 3 AC outputs, and 3 DC as well.

E600LFP Pros

• Folding handle, with flat top surface for storage / small spaces
• Rugged design, with protection on corners
• Feature-rich, at a great price point
• Customer service (in China, I assume) answered questions quickly

E600LFP Cons

• Less sleek, more utilitarian (some may prefer this, I guess)
• Fan kicks on for some reason when panels have no more sunlight (must unplug or battery slowly drains)
• Some users have reported inability to charge multiple USB devices at once, though I don’t think I’ve had this issue.

Real World Use – Pecron’s Portable Power

Honestly, I found this unit to be so useful that I bought a second one. I charge each of them with Vevor 200W portable panels, and believe it or not, I run them almost daily. I have used them extensively – at home and on the road.

Surprisingly, after many many months of continuous use, all features still work. I do notice a bit of a rough “cycle” sound with the fan when I turn one unit on. It hasn’t affected use so far, though.

These models can even run certain appliances that are over their max ratings. Somehow the technology is able to lower the current to a manageable level.

It can flawlessly run a 1200W microwave during power outages, and I sometimes even power my medium sized fridge with the Pecrons. I might only get 4-5 hours of power, but if it saves my food during summer, it’s worth it.

One thing I’ve noticed is recently one of the units will shut off while running the microwave, once it’s down to 20% battery. Before, it could go all the way down to 1% without shutting off.

Conclusion

For the money, I would not hesitate to recommend this product to friends and family. I think anything remotely comparable will cost 50%-100% more. As for reliability, it’s still going strong for me!

Where to Purchase

You can find it on Amazon HERE. (I was not provided anything for this review, and have no connection to the company. However, if you use these Amazon links, it will help me continue providing useful information like this. )
