Vifa Reykjavik Bluetooth Speaker, Portable Wireless Speakers, Mini Outdoor Smart Speaker with Stereo Sound, Nordic Design/Built-in Mic/Hands-Free Call,HiFi Audio Personal Speaker (Ice Cave Blue)

I purchased the speaker and the first one arrived broken, it would would connect to bluetooth but it would not make a sound. It had some nasty black glue at the bottom, I expected much more from a premium product and brand. I own the Helsinki and it arrived perfect. I contacted Vifa directly and they were no help, just told me to return and reorder another one. I even told them I didn't want to go through amazon as the package was lost at first. So, I ordered another speaker at $200 and sent the other back which I was later refunded. This one actually worked and it has the original stock firmware which has less bass than the new one. I really like the sound as it is, it is very clear and detailed. Very good for acoustic music etc. I use it with everything but sometimes if I need more bass, I will use the Helsinki instead. I would recommend this speaker as a secondary speaker for certain genres. As a primary speaker, I would update the firmware or buy a Denon Envaya. Overall I love the looks of the speaker, the sound is very detailed, and wool version feels great. The cons would be the QC issues, customer service issues, and the fact that you cannot update via app or mac, only windows. I don't own a windows computer and don't have access to one. The mids and highs on this speaker really saved it. I would really love to listen to the Oslo and the Copenhagen next!

Aesthetically pleasant but not much volume.

The design of this portable speaker is top notch. It looks expensive, unusual shape, pleasant to the touch, good non-standard colors. You take it in your hand and realize that the speaker is great. But then you turn it on. The sound is not the best on the market. There's a lot of bass missing. I compared it to the Bose SoundLink Flex and the Bang & Olufsen Beosound A1 2nd Generation. Bose is louder, but Bang & Olufsen gives much better sound quality.

I bought the Reykjavik during black friday and having already listened to it before I performed firmware update right away. The difference in sound quality is night and day, the lows have been greatly improved without sacrificing details and overall volume. Build quality is top notch like all Vifa products. My main use for this speaker is for watching movies and series while laying on the bed, and thanks to the omnidirectional sound I don't need to worry about moving it around for the perfect listening angle. Battery for me lasts between 6-8 hours at 70% volume which equals to several days of use. It charges pretty fast at 2A with the included cable and what I like the most about the ring light is that it serves as battery level indicator, as compared to my Vifa Helsinki which is hard to know how much juice it's got left. Some people have reported the volume buttons being hard to press, haven't had such issues with mine yet, after some use you will get used to the raised/recessed volume controls. Outdoor listening, not such a pleasant experience. The sound gets lost and even at maximum volume it sounds tiny and weak even at ~10ft listening distance. Still 5 stars for it's intended purpose: high end sound signature for indoors, multi directional close range listening. If you want a outdoor speaker with water resistance, just get a JBL flip4 or charge 3 instead.

As a small business owner, I listen to music most of the day and the Vifa Reykjavik is more than I expected. Super easy to connect via Bluetooth and I was listening to music within a couple of minutes. The sound is amazing with a strong base and a clarity that I had not expected nor experienced before from such a small loudspeaker. With this sound quality I can listen all day without my ears (or brain?) getting exhausted. It feels really solid in quality and I love the stylish look of it as well. This is my new friend and will follow me from room to room all day and night, if I can keep it away from my son and husband :-) I would definitely buy a product from this company again!

[UPDATE: After almost 1 year the Vifa stopped charging. Returned fir repair, Vifa was very prompt. Worked another 2 months & died again. Luckily we also bought sn extended warranty; now returning for refund and will buy something else. Very sad as this one sounds SO good😩] It sounds fantastic. And looks elegant and unobtrusive, unlike most of its competitors. Only issue is it has to be connected manually to the phone each time; you can’t just choose it from the list of devices in the player. Puzzling.

The Reykjavik is an amazing little speaker. Sound well balanced with a beautiful tuning. When I got it I felt the volume too low so I did a research and found the newest firmware. After that the sound complete changed… for better. The volume increased noticeable (no party level volume) and the bass got more weight. The mids got a little lower but for a speaker meant to be used as ambient speakers not a critical listening one having more weight in the bass helps a lot for a better experience.

Packs a punch for its size. All VIFA speakers offer exceptional clarity and bass, though this smaller unit sacrifices some of the stellar performance offered by VIFA’s larger models. Nonetheless the Reykjavik boasts terrific sound in a beautifully designed portable package. A final note: the Reykjavik definitely benefits from an extended burning in period. The more it is used the better it sounds.

Ho acquistato il Reykjavik per avere un piccolo speaker bluetooth da spostare agevolmente per casa. Il pairing si effettua tenendo premuto il tasto grande, un po' scomodo da premere in verità, e si é subito operativi. Dopo qualche minuto di utilizzo va in standby, riasparmiando batteria. Non ho ancora dati sulla durata della stessa avendolo usato solo un paio d'ore. Con il tasto 'link' posto sul fondo si possono collegare più dispositivi per avere un suono più avvolgente. La qualità dell'audio é sorprendente per un dispositivo piuttosto piccolo, riproduce bene i bassi, il cantato e gli strumenti acustici, a mio avviso un po' debole sulle medie frequenze quando suonano molti strumenti insieme. In generale un'ottimo acquisto, non é escluso che ne prenda un secondo magari approfittando dei warehouse deals.

Ich habe wirklich sehr viele Bluetooth speaker getestet. Allen voran ist der Beoplay A1, wenn im Angebot um die 150€ kaum zu schlagen und das Beste das man kaufen kann. Leider ist die Akkulaufzeit eher schmal aber mann kann scheinbar nicht alles haben. Besonders aber als Gesamtpaket mit der guten Beoplay App ist das ein fast unschlagbarer Allrounder. Daneben ist der Beoplay P2 für seine winzige Größe ein wahrer Geheimtipp. Ich bin sehr viel unterwegs und auch zu Hause nehme ich gern in den verschieden Räumen einen kleinen Speaker als alternative zum Kopfhörer mit um bei etwas Musik zu entspannen. Der Sound ist mir dabei doch immer wichtiger geworden. Habe damals einen UE Boom besessen und dank des Vlog von Clavinetjunkie überhaupt erst bemerkt was es noch alles so für Alternativen gibt. Nachdem ich den Beoplay p2 aufgrund seiner Größe gekauft hatte und er den teureren UE Boom quasi weggeblasen hat, was Klangdetail und Auflösung angeht, wusste ich das es kein Zurück mehr gibt. Nun habe ich diesen Reykjavik eher aus Neugier bestellt. Das ice cave blue gefiel mir sehr gut. Online gibt es durchaus gemischte Meinungen besonders was die Firmware angeht. Es scheint jedoch das Vifa mit dem neuen Update die Probleme gelöst hat. Im Vergleich mit dem Beoplay A1 spielt der Reykjavik sehr unbefangen und unglaublich fein aufgelöst auf. Beim A1 ist man ja bereits geschockt was aus so einem Teil an Hifi kommen kann. Hatte beim A1 aber immer das Gefühl das in den Mitten recht viel verschluckt wird. Im Direktvergleich mit dem Reykjavik kann ich das auch bestätigen. Unten rum ist der Beoplay aber etwas dicker und bei den Höhen ist er viellicht einen ticken überoptimiert, was ich allerdings gern mag. Der Reykjavik ist wirklich etwas analytischer aber dabei trotzdem mit enormer Spielfreude. Ich muss dazu sagen ich höre vor allem Rock, Acoustic und Folksongs. Dabei klingt der Reykjavik unglaublich gut, der Sound ist super breit, eine richtige Stereobühne entsteht. Bei angezerrten Gitarren klingt das Ding teilweise wie ein teurer Röhrenamp. Ich habe das neue Album von Pinegrove damit wirklich zelebriert. Die Option den Speaker am Rechner per USB zu betreiben ist dabei genauso toll wie die wunderbare Handschlaufe. Zugegeben für 200 tacken ist das Ding schon happig, aber ich habe damit einen wirklich tollen persönlichen Hifi Speaker gefunden der nun meinen A1 sicher ablöst, denn im Vergleich überzeugt die detailreichere Auflösung des Vifa. Schicker ist er auch ein Stück. Nur am Rande: der Bose Revolve, der wirklich stylish und klanglich gefällig ist klingt im Vergleich wirklich 2 Klassen schlechter. Bose schafft es nicht annähernd die Höhen so brilliant aufzulösen wie der Vifa. Da rappelt es quasi im Karton. Wenn man das vergleicht ärgert man sich wie taub man zuvor war und soviel günstiger ist der Bose dann auch nicht. Der Vifa ist in jedem Fall für mich derzeit das Beste in der Preisklasse.

El altavoz es bastante bonito de diseño, se le ve sólido, bien construido y perfectamente embalado. En cuanto al sonido, es muy bueno, apto para casi cualquier tipo de música. Se echa de menos una aplicación que pudiera hacer algún tipo de ecualización. Como no hay nada que cambiar del sonido, te tienes que conformar con lo que los ingenieros de Vifa han considerado lo óptimo para el altavoz. Desde mi punto de vista, le falta un poco de bajos, pero lo compensa con unos medios y agudos bien regulados y potentes. La música clásica y bandas sonoras suenan muy bien. La música pop también muy bien, pero quizá en algún momento de echa de menos un poco más de fuerza en los bajos, pero en términos generales suena todo muy equilibrado. A mi no me gusta la música muy alta, pero la potencia de sonido es grande y no se aprecian distorsiones al subir el volumen. Los botones van algo duros, hay que hacer más fuerza de la deseable tanto para encender como para apagar, pero bueno. La conexión bluetooth es rápida y estable, pero no tiene el indicador de batería que aparece en la barra de notificaciones con otros altavoces, tienes que conformarte con una luz que se enciende al apagar el altavoz y que te indica un poco el estado de la batería. La batería dura teóricamente unas 7 horas, sólo la he cargado una vez y he escuchado unas 3-4 horas y sigue sin problemas, aquí se paga el tamaño del altavoz, que es pequeño y con 3 altavoces activos no queda mucho más espacio. Lo he comparado con un JBL Charge 5 y el Vifa le gana en medios y agudos y pierde en bajos, la ventaja del JBL es que se puede ecualizar en su aplicación. También lo he comparado con un B&O P6 y suenan bastante similares, muy bien ambos, aunque de nuevo el Vifa pierde un poco en bajos y lo gana en medios, el P6 también se puede ecualizar, lo que le da ese punto de ventaja por la personalización. En términos generales, el Vifa Reyjkavyk es un buen altavoz portátil, con un sonido muy bueno, por encima de la media de altavoces portátiles, pero si te gustan los bajos contundentes, vete al JBL Charge 5.

This speaker is absolutely amazing. Sound is very natural and pleasant to listen to, doesn't create sound fatigue after longer periods of listening like other premium bluetooth speakers. There is a update(windows only) which improves the bass and change the characteristics of the tuning but have to say it sounds brilliant before or after FW update. I got two of these to pair in stereo mode which works faultlessly only thing is there is a lag when you watch a video. But no problem if you listen only one a the time. Had a few bluetooth speakers before and i think ive found the right one.
