BoomTouch is one of those things that you see on on TV - As Seen on TV!!! - and think "there's just no way this thing can be any good, right?" I mean, it's a $20 speaker that uses magnets to transmit sound from your phone to the speaker. No wires. No Bluetooth. Just magnetic magic.
Well guess what. It sorta kinda works not too horribly! I know, right, that's not exactly a glowing endorsement. But have a listen. It's surprisingly good!

Thanks for hanging out with us!
I bought two for Christmas presents, then watched this review. I am not sad that I bought them, since they were only $15 each with a coupon from Bed Bath and Beyond. I do hope that they work with the cases that I have on the phones, but I could always just remove the case if necessary. Seems like a good, cheap gift. Thanks for your review.
LOL! I had to go back and listen to this after the Android Central podcast. I see what Jerry was talking about, that's a really good video! Kind of reminds me of Lewis over at Unbox Therapy! Good stuff, keep it coming Phil!
lol. Thanks.
nice review. hope modern dad keeps more videos coming. miss your insights on the podcast
You keep coming back, I'll keep making them. ... Just be sure to tell your friends!!!
Hahaha thank for this, I just saw the commercial and had to check UA-cam. Found your channel and it works, like you said not great but it works👍 you funny😄
heh ... Thanks!
This is a lot more helpful to me than the dumb commercial they show on TV. The commercial just has one repetitive melody that gives you no idea how good the speaker is. This video gives you some idea of the speaker's resolution.
Nice review. Funny and honest
That's not bad. The kids would enjoy that! Did you say you were giving one away? I hope Ireland isn't too far for you guys lol keep up the great videos Phil and your team :)
So surprisingly you're kinda saying it kinda works? Kinda? Surprisingly works kinda? Kinda! It doesn't not work! Surprisingly! Well! Kinda!
That's kinda what I'm saying, sort of.
It would be good if it had the option to use Bluetooth so you can cat your phone with you, and the auxiliary plug-in just to have options. I'm guessing this is a cheaper way to go.
It's just a mic that amplifies what it hears.
Sort of, but yeah. Not ACTUAL magic.
+ModernDad Thanks for this useful now I am going to buy a boomtouch speaker or two just in case one gets lost or broken. Also i'm not trying to make fun of you but you look like Dan Harmon.
Gordon Glover louis CK lol
Its induction coils
Not mics
the mutemath tøp. yes please
Thanks for the review! I have 2 questions only......
First: what is the music played in your phone?
The other: does this device has a USB charging port or it only works with batteries?
Thank you in advance! :-)
I know this comment is old so you might not see this but I believe the song was 'Lane Boy' by Twenty One Pilots
@@alfae TØP on top!! ||-//
What is the song your playing? I like it
I'm surprised how well this actually sounded. I'm not saying it sounded like it will replace my Bluetooth Harman/Kardon but seems like a nice little take with you speaker for random get togethers that you dont want to drag a big boy out for.
Exactly.
I listened to a few reviews but yours was more helpful. I am a bit of an audiophile and sound quality means a lot to me. This will not do. Thank you for helping me head off a lot of fruitless bother.
Excellent. That was kinda the point. It's surprisingly better than I thought it would be, but I wouldn't call it "good."
What's the battery life look like?
Nice! Thanks for the review on this. Helps us not to make poor decisions on impulse buys such as this. Though I would be interested in hearing it in person.
It's surprisingly not awful. Not great, but not awful.
Yeah... Just doesn't sound like something you pay for. Now a gift??? Absolutely.
I had *totally* forgotten about Near Field Audio (which is what I think this is using). Used it back in 2012 and apparently dug it hard: pocketnow.com/2012/11/01/near-field-audio-is-awesome
It's strangely kinda cool. Not good, but cool.
I suppose Samsung could use the MST (magnetic safe transfer) tech to better induce sound in one of this systems ;)
And... could a phone simulate the MST using the speaker coil and placing the speaker very close to the card reader?...
After watching this video I'm going to go buy one so thanks I guess
How can I buy one????
I keep wanted people to hold it up to their face and speak into it and test if its actually just a sound booster.
Either way, it seems to just be a paper weight to me. Thank you for making this video. :)
lol. That would have been awesome!
Has anyone tried a mini projector with this speaker? Looking to amplify the sound on a pico projector cube.
Diggin the shinola
Thanks! Me, too!
I want a boom touch now
It's surprisingly not horrible!
And it doesn't feel like there is an echo? The phone keeps playing so you are earning two tracks after all.
Also, does it work if you put a bluetooth speaker on top of it?
And what if you put a Boomtouch on top of a Boomtouch?
So many questions!
You're trying to create a singularity, aren't you ...
crazy, my daughter would probably like it
Mine kinda flipped over it!
a glass bowl from dollar store works just as good :D
Great review. Thanks. :)
Welcome!
it's a cool speaker but the speaker doesn't have the amount of bass and treble that I'm looking for
kinggabo89 Same here. I prefer the deep frequencies you hear on big speakers, like my Early 90s retro thrift Yamaha's.
but how are the speakers in the iPhone 7
Soooooo good. :p
Does it make phones explode?
This thing used to be $20???? I just found like 5 of them at Ross for $5.99 😂😂😂
Ha!
Spend another 40 and get the jbl Bluetooth speaker . Bluetooth is SIMPLE and you can move you're phone around while listening.
Definitely. Spend ANYTHING more for something other than this. =D
I mean I would think it would sound better if you faced it in your direction
It would, and it does - but the mic was more important than me in this case.
i would not trust it because of the magnets inside the speaker would ruin the phone screen in time because what happens when you stick a magnet close to a tv screen?? it fucks it up it would be the same effect for the phone screen.
You could, uh, take it off the speaker when you're not using it.
magnets effect "old" tv screens because they use a magnetic field to guide the photons of light from the gun at the back (cathode ray tube), modern lcd screens are not affected by magnets in this way..... science bitches....
It doesn't work for my phone.
I would worry about shortening the life of my phone by having it sitting on a source of vibration that it was not designed for. Is plugging it into a speaker really that difficult or time-consuming that this is needed?
Interesting. I would guess it has a microphone on one end. Bluetooth is so EASY these days, no reason not to use it.
Not a microphone - magnets.
ModernDad Interesting science then!
Why would you want this? A good speaker is not expensive
NOOO DON'T DO IT!!! Why do they sell (2) together? I bought them hoping I could set them APART n' amp the music but NOOO! This girl got hood-winked for sure! 2 for $15 $2 shipping n now $6 to send em' back!
iPhone 7 has the best smartphone speakers you've ever heard? I don't think you've heard many smartphones. Discredits your whole video.
Just a random comment to help with the algorithm and analytics :)
