Verdict

The Vidson Idea I30 Crystal is a portable Bluetooth 4.2 speaker featuring a unique transparent casing, customizable colorful LED backlighting, and dual 48mm drivers that deliver a total power output of 20W (2 x 10W). It is equipped with a 2000mAh 7.4V lithium-ion battery providing up to 12 hours of playtime at 70% volume, a built-in FM radio, a micro SD/TF card slot supporting up to 64GB, a 3.5mm AUX input, and an integrated microphone for hands-free calling. Main pros include its distinctive visual aesthetics, powerful room-filling sound with enhanced bass courtesy of its unique wind-duct bass reflex technology, multi-mode connectivity, and decent battery life. However, notable cons include long battery charging times of 8 to 12 hours, audio distortion or a muddy/boomy sound profile at maximum volume levels, and a lack of volume synchronization on Android devices.
